From chocolate-covered memories to heart-warming hijinks, we want to see pages that sparkle with humor, nostalgia, and classic sitcom charm. Whether you’re scrapbooking romance, mishaps, or moments that made you say, “Lucy, you’ve got some scrap-pin’ to do!” — this month it's all about having fun while you create.
So dust off those vintage vibes, channel your inner red-headed troublemaker, and let your creativity run wild (just… maybe not as wild as a conveyor belt full of truffles). Because around here, we don’t just scrapbook . . .
A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery.
Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....
Sometimes life looks picture-perfect… and sometimes it feels like we’ve just stepped into a vat of grapes. Messy. Overwhelming. A little chaotic. But oh-so worth it.
For this challenge, I want you to scrapbook a moment that felt like stepping into your own “vineyard” such as a new beginning, a big change, or a season that felt overwhelming at first but turned into something beautiful.
Your layout must include:
• A mixed media, watercolor, or splattered background
• Purple or blue somewhere on the page
• Stars, as many as you like
Think new babies, first homes, first jobs, big moves, growing families, or even those everyday moments that turned into sweet memories later.
Because around here, we know that sometimes the messiest moments make the sweetest stories.
I can’t wait to see your lovable chaos!
For my example I used a picture of Jorge with the boys. Two tiny boys, one proud daddy, and a brand new chapter. It felt like stepping into something bigger than us! It was messy, exhausting, and absolutely worth it!
