Here we come, walking down the street . . . ready to get groovy with some Monkees-themed scrapbooking fun? Whether you’re a Daydream Believer or just someone who loves a good creative challenge, we'll have you monkeying around with your scrapbook supplies in no time! Let’s dive into some Monkees-inspired scrapbooking challenges, based on ALL things Monkees - from their names, lyrics from their iconic songs, and their TV show.

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.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

The song "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" by The Monkees is about acknowledging that in disagreements, both sides have a part to play, with both individuals having strengths and weaknesses. The lyrics suggest that conflict is often a mix of right and wrong on both sides, encouraging understanding and reconciliation.
The song, written by Neil Diamond, was released as a single by The Monkees on March 8, 1967.

My challenge for you is to have a little bit of YOU on your page. A little bit of inking and stamping on the page . Also a little bit of hearts on your page. Lastly have a little bit of fun while making your page.

Here's mine. I actually got a couple pics of me in this one. Stamps are in the corners - the postage lower left, the map upper right, and the adventure/escape lower-right corner piece. Thanks for the challenge!
