Let’s get scrapping, Monkees fans! Whether you’re using vintage vibes, bright ‘60s colors, or a mix of modern and retro, let these themes bring a little extra joy to your scrapbooking journey. And remember—keep on Monkeeing around!

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.

Happy Cinco de Mayo Monday everyone! I'm kicking off this week of Monkee themed challenges featuring actual monkeys! My daughter and I took a trip to Costa Rica six years ago, and we were in awe of the monkeys. They were extremely social, and we had so much fun watching them climb trees and swing around the resort. We felt like we were in a zoo without fences. It was incredible! My challenge to you, since it is Sketch Monday, is to use this sketch being featured at Sketch N Scrap this month. Next, I challenge you to create a project featuring an animal that made you smile. Perhaps this was an animal at a zoo (or in the wild)? Or maybe your dog or cat likes to do silly things that you have caught on camera? The possibilities are endless! And since my photo's backdrop is the jungle, I challenge you to use some type of nature print paper on your project. I'm excited to see how you all interpret this challenge.

Here is my sketch...

And here is my project...

It's a great sketch and example, Stephanie! I also have some monkey photos from a trip last year. :)
