This Challenge runs from

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"
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Ingredients:  
     3  Pastel Colors (Neutrals cannot be a choice of Pastels)     
     2  Words in One Sentiment 
      Slimline Card  (Mini or Regular)      

Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in 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 details 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 in our random drawing. 

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.            



THING 2:  Double Dare
says, "Click on my clipart to the left to see the sneak peek of the sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #668, to inspire you to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe 'Hippity Hoppity' and you will be awarded TWO additional chances to our random drawing. 

"Please note TSOT starts on Tuesday, April 15th, 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 April 15th in Try a Sketch On Tuesday HERE."  

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.

Special Notes: Providing you use the TSOT sketch and/or the Alternate Challenge and have entered your card project(s), please include TSOT's name and/or Alternate's name A Cut Above next to the DTC link in your post so you are eligible for the additional chances in our random drawing.
