December 5 Friday - Forgotten Times
Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2025 9:45 am
This December, we’re taking a magical trip to the Island of Misfit Toys — where every imperfect creation finds its place and every quirky layout shines! Whether your photos don’t quite match, your embellishments march to their own beat, or your color combos are just a little offbeat, this is the month to embrace the beauty of being unique.
Join us at Cookin' up Creations as we celebrate the wonderfully “imperfect” side of creativity. After all, just like a spotted elephant or a train with square wheels, every scrapbook page deserves a little love and a whole lot of sparkle.
So dust off those forgotten supplies, rescue those unfinished pages, and let’s give our “misfit” projects a happy home — one glittery layout 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).....
As I think of the Island of Misfit toys and forgotten toys I think of all the older photos I have that still need to be scrapped.
Your Challenge today is to scrap those Long Forgotten Photos 10+ years old + Use a Variety of Manufacturers with a least 1 that is discontinued + Wooden Veneers.
I used photos of DH Brad with his siblings, Christmas 1959. A variety of Manufacturers including some that are no longer in business. Basic Grey, Fancy Pants, My Minds Eye Papers. Also something I rarely use is Wooden Veneers.
Christmas Joy
