"3-2-1 Recipe - "Mix It Up" 


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "Do you remember way back years ago when we didn't mix plaids, flowers, stripes, checks, and polka dots? Not true today so...Let's Mix It Up! Look through your stash to find at least two different patterns or designs to combine... it's your choice. 

"Let's celebrate and stir up some trouble in Double Trouble's Kitchen. Mix it up and create a project using all the ingredients from our 3-2-1 Recipe below." 

3-2-1 Recipe "Mix It Up" 
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Specific information available by clicking on each ingredient. 
     3  Layers - Card Base Does Not Count
     2  Patterned Papers 
     1  Sentiment  

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. 


THING 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "I'm spending August in Arizona with my sister. If you have ever spent time in Arizona in August, you know it is the hottest month of the year. You definitely need some cooling element, and why not a fan?  Let's be cool and take this fan-tastic opportunity to cool off, and my optional twist is to create a fan-fold card."  

Here are tutorials in two different sizes for creating Fan Fold cards: 
                                                      
If you have included my optional twist in your project, you will earn another chance in our Random Draw.  


THING 2:  Double Dare
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 #677.  My optional dare is to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe, 'Mix It Up'.  If you do, you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing.  

"Please note TSOT starts Tuesday, August 19th, 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 19th, in Try a Sketch On Tuesday."  

Alternate Challenge: We also have an Alternate Challenge.  If you have created the Fun Fold using our DTC 3-2-1 Recipe "Mix It Up" and TSOT sketch #677, you can enter your Fun Fold at Creative Creases #106 "Anything Goes Fun Fold".  

Special Notes: If you use the TSOT sketch and/or the alternate, Creative Creases #106, 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.

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "WOW... Leap Day is the 29th of this month and we have never had an opportunity to use this day until this year and we won't have this opportunity to observe for another four years.  So let's take a leap into my optional twist and celebrate Hoppy Leap Day by featuring creatures that hop, skip, or leap.  

"You may find some of these in your own garden... examples are wallabies/kangaroos, rabbits/hares, grasshoppers, jumping spiders, frogs/toads, crickets, and fleas. (I absolutely refuse to create a project with fleas, but you can.)  OR, maybe you see a person - even a child - in your garden enjoying hop, skip, or leap games." 



Thing 2Double Dare
says, "How fun it would be to send a Leap Day greeting card to a friend for that one extra day in the year? And make it very special by creating a fun-fold card that is linked to our partner, Creative Creases. Creative Creases Challenges are repetitive two-week challenges exclusively for Fun Folds. If you have created a Fun Fold, with or without a Leap Day optional twist, you may enter your project HERE at Creative Creases Challenge #76 for an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw.
