October 18, 2025 Orbiting with Stars

[Lolis]

Join us all month long as we zoom into a Jetsons-inspired world of themed challenges that are out of this world! Whether you're cropping in your space pod or journaling from Orbit City, you’ll be saying, “Jane, stop this crazy craft!”

From robot butlers to astro-antics, we’ve got futuristic prompts to spark your creativity and launch your layouts into hyperspace. So grab your glitter, power up your die-cutter, and get ready to scrap like it’s 2062!

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 this challenge, let’s play with circles and stars to represent the orbits, planets, and all things that sparkle in the sky.

Requirements:
1. Include at least one circle element (or something that gives a sense of orbit or motion).
2. Add stars or something shiny, think glitter, metallics, sequins, or sparkly stickers.
3. Use layers or dimension to make your page pop!

Here’s my sample layout I used several layered circles, a few sparkly stars and numbers, and lots of layered element details to my Halloween 2024 page.

I can’t wait to see your projects take off and sparkle among the stars!
