"3-2-1 Recipe - "You're in the Spotlight"
says, "As I was looking through my calendar of holidays, National Lighthouse Day hit me like a 💡 light bulb. There are various light sources in our daily lives, and metaphorically or figuratively, many of us may have found ourselves in the spotlight at least once. We are putting you in the spotlight today. We've got a bright idea - let's highlight your amazing work. Here's your chance to have fun creating a project featuring the 'Spotlight Technique'."
Let's celebrate and stir up some trouble in Double Trouble's Kitchen and create a project using all the ingredients from our 3-2-1 Recipe below.
3-2-1 Recipe "You're in the Spotlight"
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Specific information available by clicking on each ingredient.
3 Colors of Choice - Neutrals Do Not Count
2 Layers - Card Base Does Not Count
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.
You can stop here...
OR
play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or consider Thing 2's optional dare and earn additional chances in our random drawing.
says, "Trouble Maker may not agree, but I like to keep a low profile and remain in the background. But here I am - in the spotlight - and this makes me very happy. Did you know August is Happiness Happens month? Happiness is contagious, so let's play with "watt" you have. To promote happiness, use at least one of the following or any combination of birds, butterflies and/or blooms ... it's your choice."
If you have included my optional twist in your project, you will earn another chance in our Random Drawing.
says, "Click on my clipart to the left to see the sneak peek of our Sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #676. My optional dare is to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe, 'You're in the Spotlight'. If you do, you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing.
"Please note TSOT starts Tuesday, Aug 5th, so this sneak peek gives you the day before to create; but remember... to prevent backlinking, your project should not be posted, published, or entered before Aug 5th, in Try a Sketch On Tuesday HERE.
Alternate Challenge: Take a look at the Triple B Challenge #112. It's all about Birds, Butterflies & Blooms (flowers) and fits perfectly with our spotlight challenge. The Challenges begin each month on the 3rd at 12:00 AM (ET) and end on the last day of that month at 8:00 PM (ET)."
Special Notes: If you use the TSOT sketch and/or the Alternate Triple B theme, please include Challenge name(s) next to the DTC link in your post so you are eligible for the additional chances in our random drawing.
