January 20, 2024 Challenge: Summer Red, White, and Blue

Post by Lolis »

"We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts." ~ William Hazlett

Most people focus on the beauty of nature. However, Mother Nature touches us much more deeply. Nature isn’t about how it looks. Instead, nature is about how it makes us feel and how it touches us deep in our hearts.

Join us all month long as we post challenges based on the the Glorious Beauty of Mother Nature and her Four Seasons.

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).....

Nothing captures the essence of summer like the classic red, white, and blue color combo and Stars and Stripes! Your challenge is to create a layout using either red, blue, or both colors. Remember, it doesn't have to be a patriotic or 4th of July page. Also, incorporate some stars and use paper with a stripe pattern. Let your creativity shine and have a blast with this summer-themed challenge!

For my example, I created a patriotic 4th of July layout, using pictures of Jorge and me celebrating by ourselves a couple of years ago.
I added some stitching, too! I’ve been practicing!

Here's mine. I used Summer Photos, Red, Stars, and Striped Paper. :)

Photos of DD Michelle and her family who had a weekend in Cincinnati. The boys went to Kings Island. (August 2023) :)
