1/21/26 Jethro

Well now, pull up a rockin’ chair, grab yourself a cup of somethin’ hot, and get ready—because this month @ Cookin' up Creations we’re takin’ a trip right down to the Ozark roots of the Clampett clan and then hitchin’ a ride straight to the glitzy streets of Beverly Hills. That’s right, your January scrapbooking adventure is inspired by none other than The Beverly Hillbillies—where rustic meets ritzy, simple meets swanky, and we’re all just tryin’ to keep Granny out of the “cement pond.”

As we dive into this homespun meets high-falutin’ theme, it’s time to strike a little “black gold” of your own—creative gold, that is. We’re talkin’ pages that shimmer brighter than Ellie Mae’s smile and layouts that’ll make your creativity bubblin’ up faster than an oil well on a Tuesday.

Jethro from Wikipedia
Many story lines involve Jethro's endless career search. He considers becoming a brain surgeon, a fry cook, a millwright, a street car conductor, a spy, a telephone lineman, a soda jerk, a chauffeur, a USAF general, a sculptor, a restaurant owner, a psychiatrist, a bookkeeper for Milburn Drysdale's bank, a talent agent for "cousin" Bessie and "Cousin Roy" (see below), and a Hollywood producer. More often than not, his goal is merely to meet pretty girls. Miss Hathaway has a crush on him, but he is oblivious to this. Of all the Clampett clan, he is the most eager to embrace city life.

Your challenge is to center your page on a boy.
Use photos of a boy (or man)
These photos must depict the boy doing something outdoors.
Use ribbon

My husband and daughter ran the Houston Marathon a couple of weeks ago. So he's the "boy" part of the challenge.
The ribbon is the black w/ white lines under the patterned paper strips.
Thanks for the challenge!
