October 2023 - Night at the Museum
Join us all month long as we take a trip to the Museum – we’ll visit the many exhibitions on display while preserving, collecting, interpreting and displaying objects of artistic, cultural, and scientific significance!.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).....
Just like we, as scrapbookers, capture and preserve special moments, museums do the same thing with historical “firsts” ! They carefully collect and display artifacts that hold significant importance in our shared history. It’s like creating a scrapbook of the world’s firsts!
The challenge: Create a page documenting a “first”, for example first grandchild, first steps, first time visiting a new restaurant. Also add an artifact to your layout.
For my example I created a page for my adorable grand-nice’s scrapbook documenting the first time she fed herself using a spoon. The artifact I included is a camera.
I haven’t added the journaling to the page, but I will include how the grandpa is all proud that Baby Emma used her left hand to hold the spoon because it means that it’s a trait she inherited from him! I will also document how her grand uncle Jorge is already visualizing the trophies his softball team, because he is the coach, will be winning with his special weapon, South Paw Emma!
Of course, I sure hope that her softball schedule will not interfere with her scrapbooking and crafting time with Tia Lolis!
