December 12 Friday - Charlie-in-the-Box
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2025 8:21 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).....
He’s the first toy we meet and he claims to be a misfit because his name is Charlie and not Jack. That has nothing to do with his function as a plaything. You could dock him points for being a weird little bald guy with a frilly-cuffed shirt, but as far as we can tell, he can still perform all the functions of a typical jack-in-the-box.
Today we are celebrating Charlie-in-the-Box. Use some triangles for his Santa Hat + Add some gold for his Jingle Bells + Add some Stencil Work.
Past Christmas photos of sweet grandkids Sydney, Nate, Evan, and Travis.
Wonderful Together
