3-2-1 Recipe "Hippity, Hoppity"

Thing 1:  Trouble Maker

says, "Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the Bunny Trail, Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way. This would be a good time to finish your Easter projects, but that doesn't mean you have to create an Easter card. All you need to do is stir up some trouble in the Double Trouble Kitchen and create a project for any occasion using all the ingredients from our 3-2-1 Recipe below. 

                          

3-2-1- Recipe "Hippity Hoppity"

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister

says, "A tisket, a tasket, I have an Easter basket. I’m still a child at heart and love Easter Egg Hunts. Did you know that in days gone by, the eggs were hard-boiled, decorated, and then hidden throughout the yard? Most commonly today, we use hollow plastic eggs containing candies, money, or other surprises. My optional twist is to include at least one decorative or colored egg in your project." 

If you include this twist with your 3-2-1 Recipe, you will be awarded an additional chance in our random drawing.

Alternate Challenge: Another fun challenge is A Cut Above "Anything Goes" and you can earn another chance at our random draw providing you have used at least one die cut on your project.
