Friday 6/27 - Red/Green/Digestive System
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2025 7:47 am
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).....
Fun Fact: Some people think cows have four stomachs, but in reality, they only have one with a distinctive digestive system with four compartments. They can process plant material into nutritious milk.
Fun Fact: Cows are red/green colorblind, which means they lack a "red" color receptor in their retinas. Instead, they only have green and blue receptors, so they see everything red as a shade of green or brown.
Your challenge today is to use one photo to represent one stomach, four patterned papers to represent the digestive system and the colors red, green and brown to represent the retinas.
