Yes I am posting this early so I can sleep in in the morning! haha
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.
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).....
Today we are going to focus on the living components and the non living components that make up your tank.
Your challenge along with using this sketches to add
Living components
Fish--use colorful paper strips
Plants- Decorate your tank with ephemera
Non living components
Gravel- plants to root. Use enamel dots or brads
Filter removes waste and debris keeping it clean- Use clean white journaling strips
Your aquarium holds water components- This is your background paper.
Also throw in a tile for extra points.
I hope you enjoy this sketch. it is so versatile and can make a great page of all kinds of activities.
Have fun!!
