01/31/26 Beverly Hillbillies Challenge: Everyday Life
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2026 10:44 am
Well now, pull up a rockin’ chair, grab yourself a cup of somethin’ hot, and get ready—because we’re takin’ a trip right down to the Ozark roots of the Clampett clan and then hitchin’ a ride straight to the glitzy streets of Beverly Hills. That’s right, your January scrapbooking adventure is inspired by none other than The Beverly Hillbillies—where rustic meets ritzy, simple meets swanky, and we’re all just tryin’ to keep Granny out of the “cement pond.”
As we dive into this homespun meets high-falutin’ theme, it’s time to strike a little “black gold” of your own—creative gold, that is. We’re talkin’ pages that shimmer brighter than Ellie Mae’s smile and layouts that’ll make your creativity bubblin’ up faster than an oil well on a Tuesday.
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).....
Before the mansion, the money, and Beverly Hills, the Clampetts came from simple beginnings: wood floors, front porches, and a life rooted in family and hard work.
Your challenge:
Create a layout that celebrates simple beginnings and down-to-earth moments, inspired by The Beverly Hillbillies.
1. Use wood-looking paper or wood-style trims as part of your design
(woodgrain paper, veneer, chipboard, faux wood, or wood-tone elements)
2. Use pictures that display Family moments, Everyday life, Home, roots, and togetherness
3. Add flowers or sprigs to your layout
For my example I have a two page layout with pictures of my husband and me meeting Jerry for lunch at Chick-Fil-A, we also brought some cookies for dessert.
