This December, we’re taking a magical trip to the Island of Misfit Toys — where every imperfect creation finds its place and every quirky layout shines! Whether your photos don’t quite match, your embellishments march to their own beat, or your color combos are just a little offbeat, this is the month to embrace the beauty of being unique.
Join us at Cookin' up Creations as we celebrate the wonderfully “imperfect” side of creativity. After all, just like a spotted elephant or a train with square wheels, every scrapbook page deserves a little love and a whole lot of sparkle.

So dust off those forgotten supplies, rescue those unfinished pages, and let’s give our “misfit” projects a happy home — one glittery layout 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).....


Today I thought we would turn our focus to Sam the banjo playing snowman. Sam the Snowman is not just a narrator but a central figure in the heartwarming story of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," embodying the themes of acceptance, friendship, and the joy of the holiday season.
Your challenge is to use plaid patterned paper to represent the snowman's vest, twine or string to represent the banjo and let's create a Christmas themed layout......after all, The Island of Misfit Toys is a Christmas movie.
