"3-2-1 Recipe - Love is in the Air"



Thing 1: Trouble Maker 
says, "Valentine's Day is almost here... love is in the air. Flowers and candy are especially sweet ways to express love. This doesn't mean you have to create a Valentine's Day card. Instead, you may consider anything in the air... you are free to use birds, butterflies, dragonflies, bees, clouds, sunshine, balloons, or maybe even a parachute! Let's stir up some trouble.  Create a project for a special person using the 3-2-1 Recipe ingredients below."

3-2-1 Recipe - Love is in the Air 
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Ingredients:  
     3  Patterned Papers or Washi Tapes
     2  Shapes 
     1  Image or Sentiment 

Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and chance to our random drawing... but you can enhance your project and use more than the ingredients stipulated.  If you are unsure of the ingredient description, click HERE for additional detail of that ingredient and this may answer your question. 

You can stop here... 
OR  
play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or consider Thing 2's optional dare to use our sister's sketch challenge and earn additional chances at our random drawing.  

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "I'm not waiting until Valentine's Day... I'm off to the store to get my favorite Sweethearts Candy. I love this "chalky-talky" candy and can eat them to my heart's content. 

"Here's a little something that's fun to know. Click HERE to read the story about Sweethearts Candy Hearts going missing and then finding their way back.

"So, my optional twist is to include at least one heart somewhere in your project. If you include a 'talky' heart you will earn another second chance." 


THING 2:  
Double Dare 
"Click on my clipart to the left to see the sneak peek of our Sketch Challenge from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #663, to inspire you to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe 'Love is in the Air' and you will be awarded TWO additional chances to our random drawing. 

"Please note TSOT starts on Feb 4th, so this sneak peek gives you the day prior to create; but remember... to prevent backlinking, your project should not be posted, published, or entered before Feb 4th in Try a Sketch On Tuesday #663 HERE."

Special Notes:  Providing you used the TSOT sketch and linked your project(s) please include TSOT's name next to the DTC link in your post so you will be eligible for the additional chances in our random drawing.
