THING 3:  Twisted Sister   
says, "Trouble Maker, did you know National Chocolate Milkshake Day is Sept 12th? I love shakes and chocolate is my favorite flavor; it goes so well with a chocolate frosted cream-filled donut.  

I donut want to tell you how to fill your donut, so my optional twist is to enhance and fill the required aperture in one of two ways... It's your choice:
1. Fill in your aperture with at least one of your images from the 3-2-1 recipe, or an additional image of your choice.  

AND/OR shake it up a bit

"Please note TSOT starts Tuesday, Sept 2nd, 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 Sept 2nd, in Try a Sketch On Tuesday."

I always go for a Boston cream donut! Yummy!! Awesome cards by everyone. Hoping to make a shaker (or two!) as they're my fave type of card.
