Saturday 12/27 - Pick 3

Join us 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!

Saturday 12/27 - Pick 3

Post by Jan Mosier »

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).....

For today's challenge I would like for you to choose 3 toys or creatures from The Island of Misfit Toys and include something that represents each one to include on your layout.

I chose the color blue to represent the plane, a bow for the bows in dollys hair and a fox for the woodland creatures.

Here's my layout.

I chose the rag doll and used a photo of my daughter with pigtails. The page is about Squishmallow stuffies, which was inspired by the white dog with pink spots, who looks like a squishmallow. Last, this page is about a gift, which represents the Santa.
