Cookin' Up Creations

Join us all month long as we pay homage to all things associated with the culture and history of America . . . whether it be apple pie, hot dogs, or baseball . . .we each have something that makes us feel nostalgic and proud of our great USA!

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's challenge is all about America's favorite pastime: Baseball. Your challenge today is to create a page related to baseball. It could be a photo about baseball (watching or playing) or you could use 4 squares and a rectangle to represent the bases and plate on the pitcher's mound. Or maybe take inspiration from the baseball and use stitching on your layout. You will also need to include circles (for the shape of baseballs) and the colors of your hometown baseball team. Be sure to let us know what your hometown baseball team is. (Your team doesn't necessarily have to be a major league team...minor league or college teams work, too)

Here's my example of my daughter and I at a baseball game. I also used circles and purple/white/black for my hometown team, the Colorado Rockies.



Have fun creating!

Super fun challenge!! Cute page!

Great challenge, Amy Jo! Terrific layout!

It's a great example, Amy Jo! I definitely have lots of baseball photos to be scrapped with 3 grandsons playing.

Great layout Deanna!

My team is the Phillies! Colors are red and white. Included circles as well as faux stitching, like the stitching on baseballs!

My kids visit stadiums and college campuses whenever they travel and this just happened to be one of those visits. This is NOT my favorite team. I have a son who is a die-hard Cubs fan and a daughter who is a die-hard Brewers fan so I remain neutral.
