Cookin' Up Creations

Join us as we flock together to complete this month's "Birds of a Feather" themed challenges. While this old proverb is true of all of us who share the same love for putting our memories on scrapbook pages or creating beautiful cards, the focus is not on us, but on the various birds that surround us with their beautiful colors, their varied songs, and their nest building skills. They may hang around our yards splashing in a bird bath and enjoying a free meal or they may make their home in a zoo. Perhaps they were a once in a lifetime sighting or a pet you enjoy every day. Big or small, they may frighten us or delight us. We use their names to describe others...you wise old owl, she's as colorful as a peacock, he's just a little songbird. They have stared in movies and inspired songs and poetry. And these amazing creatures have even risen to the heights of being honored as state and national symbols. So, get ready!! The birds are coming!


Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....


Today’s bird is the Bluebird, so let’s see lots of blue. You will also need to pull one other color out of your photo and use it on your layout.
For my page, I swiped a Distress Oxide ink pad across some white cardstock and pulled the little bit of yellow from my photo and matted everything in yellow.

Such a pretty Bluebird and great example, Tracy!

Tracy: I Love your page and fun challenge

Fun! Love your page! Beautiful picture of the bird.

Great challenge! Loving the way you incorporated the blue.

This is actually a companion page to one I did earlier.

Wonderful page! Love the boarding pass stubs!

Nice job, Ural. I like how you put the stubs in the pocket

Here's mine using mostly blue and some pink patterned paper and pink splatters for my shirt in the bottom photo.

I love when the grandkids take silly selfies, especially Evan and Kaylee. They are so funny together. (August 2022)
Oh Snap
