Mon June 16 - The Pasture

Scrapbook challenges and Dairy Month in Wisconsin make for a perfect pairing! June, celebrated as Dairy Month, shines a spotlight on the state's rich dairy heritage, from farm-fresh cheese to community milkshake socials.

For scrapbook enthusiasts, this opens up endless creative possibilities—capturing vibrant county fair memories, documenting visits to local dairy farms, or designing layouts featuring iconic Wisconsin cheese. Whether it's a themed challenge that encourages scrappers to incorporate cow prints, milk cartons, or rolling green pastures into their pages, or a personal project celebrating family traditions tied to dairy, this month offers inspiration galore. A scrapbook challenge centered around Dairy Month could push crafters to experiment with farm-themed embellishments, nostalgic photos, or heartfelt journaling about their favorite dairy treats. It’s a chance to preserve the flavors and festivities of Wisconsin’s dairy legacy in a fun and artistic way!

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).....

In addition to using the sketch provided, your challenge today is to use woodgrain (to represent the fences around the pasture) and the color green (to represent the grass they eat).

Here's my example. Please note that mine is an old layout but yours must be new to enter this challenge.

Have fun!!
