From bubbly embellishments and underwater hues to layouts that make waves with motion and texture, this month we’ll explore a different part of your crafty ecosystem. Think of it like cleaning out your fish tank—only way more fun and way less smelly.

It’s time to check the filter, stir the waters, and let your creativity flow free. What’s in your tank? Let’s find out—one page at a time.

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).....

Did you know that there are almost 35,000 different varieties of fresh water and saltwater fish. With that said, let's see how many varieties of fish (manufacturer's) we can use on our layouts. Also include something clear/transparent to represent the clear water, some type of foilage to represent plants at the bottom of the tank, a tab and a tag.

For my mixed manufacturer's I used: SEI, Freckled Fawn, Basic Grey, Tim Holtz, Studio Calico and Teresa Collins. Clear sticker of foilage, a tab and a tag.
