Cookin' Up Creations

Join us all month long as we celebrate the large, blended family of six children, known as the Brady Bunch. The family that everyone knows and loves! Groovy!

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 today’s challenge we will create a layout using traditional gender specific elements. Make it a girly page with flowers, bows, lots of pink. If you choose to make a masculine page you can add lots of blue, cars, boy stuff. Also use something that you have not used in a while.

For my example I chose lots of pink and flowers. I used my Cricut, which I had not used in a long time, to create the layout. All the elements were cut using the Cricut. The half pearls on the flowers had been in my stash for at least 5 years.



Have fun creating!

Such a sweet 2 pager! Great challenge too!

I chose masculine. The old are the stickers haven't bought any in a very long time. I also used decorative scissors for the dark blue edges and a punch anywhere punch for the star groupings. I had completely forgotten about having it.

Lolis: great challenge and beautiful dp
Ural: love your boy page!! Fun cutting and stars

Wow! Such a cute page! Great job with the challenge! Thank you for playing along!

My granddaughter was never a pink girl but I do have pink on here. I used a scrap of paper that had a triangle design so I cut it apart to create the pinwheel. I had an abundance (still do) of the ephemera that went with the paper line.

Beautiful! What an amazing page! Thank you for completing the challenge!

I used old rubber stamps for my background.
