8/6 - Something Old is New

This month at Cookin’ Up Creations, we’re turning our creative tanks into aquariums of inspiration! Whether your scrappy stash is teeming with color or hiding a few quirky surprises like that one-eyed googly fish, we’re challenging you to open the lid and show us what’s swimming inside. From bubbly embellishments and underwater hues to layouts that make waves with motion and texture, this month we’ll explore a different part of your crafty ecosystem. Think of it like cleaning out your fish tank—only way more fun and way less smelly.

It’s time to check the filter, stir the waters, and let your creativity flow free. What’s in your tank? Let’s find out—one page at a time.

Threw it away and then grabbed a stencil and some acrylic paint, then added iridescent green glitter to make the flower embellishments. So Thanks girls now I have glitter ALL over my scrap table :lol: :lol: :lol:

The little girl starts her Junior year of High School tomorrow and made the high School Tennis team. I have her schedule and can't wait to go to a few of her matches!!

What a fun page! Love the mix of papers! I used to have a camel just like that one when I was a kid. Back then they were filled with sawdust, hopefully they aren't nowadays.

I bought this while I was in Egypt. My grandson bit the head and yes, it is filled with sawdust
