Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in our random drawing... but you may enhance ingredients 3 and 2 in your project by using more than the ingredients stipulated. 

Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "'Valentine’s Day' and 'Send a Card to a Friend Day' are celebrated this month... so any occasion will do. The occasion does not matter, the thought does!

"However, there is a special day for mail carriers on Wednesday, February 4th, and we're reflecting on how much we rely on them t
hrough rain, snow, sleet, or hail, they will deliver your mail. So, let's not burden them with bulky mail… let’s keep it clean and simple using our 3-2-1 Recipe above."

You can stop here...
OR
Play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or Thing 2's optional dare and earn additional chances in our random drawing. 

THING 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Clean & Simple is cool, but I want to see color. My optional twist is to create that CAS project with any single color you choose. That's right - ANY single color! Please remember to leave plenty of open, uncluttered space. We look forward to seeing your ideas for using color in place of white while keeping it CAS and uncluttered. So use your imagination and play along."

If you have created a CAS card with color, your project will earn you another chance in our random drawing. 

THING 2:  Double Dare
says, "Click on my clipart to the left for a sneak peek of the sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #688. My optional dare is to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe ' Name '. If you do, you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing. 

"Please note that TSOT starts Tuesday, January 3rd, 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 January 3rd, in Try a Sketch On Tuesday." 

Alternate Challenge: We also have an Alternate Challenge. If you have created ta project using our 3-2-1 Recipe "The Mail Must Go On" and have included a heart you can enter your project at Pearly Sparkle Challenge #116 HERE and earn another chance at our random drawing.

Special Notes: When using TSOT and/or our Alternate Challenges, please include the Challenge name(s) next to the DTC link in your post so you are eligible for the additional chances in our random drawing.

In real life, they are a mother-daughter crafting duo. Holly is Sabra's Mom, and they love to create. So let's draw inspiration from their unbridled enthusiasm. 

Holly and Sabra are offering a second randomly drawn prize. 

The Crafting Duo says, "The time we spend with each other makes our hearts happy! What better way to share your love than with a little heart? Include a heart, or even a heart word or symbol, on your project to be eligible for the second random drawing."
