Join us all month long in January as we post challenges with the focus of scrapping with our unused stash!
Let's face it, we all have a scrappy stash …. things that we are hoarding, forgot we had, never got around to using … yeah, you know you have it, too!
So join us as we say “OUT WITH THE OLD . . . IN WITH THE NEW!”
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).....
For my challenge I want you to dig out your misting, embossing, or something to add some color to your background AND use some scraps or old journaling boxes to use as a frame around your photos
I used pink mist and purple mist on my background. Then I gathered my purple sentiment boxes (which I never know what to do with), cut them in half and added them around the edges of my photos.

Have fun!

I stamped the background and used scraps from the last two pages I did to frame my picture.
