7/11 - Warm Donuts

Life is too short to stress over the little things—so let's take a deep breath, grab a donut, and sprinkle some happiness everywhere! Whether it’s a simple glazed classic or a wildly decorated masterpiece, donuts remind us that joy can come in the sweetest, simplest forms. So join us all month long as we celebrate creativity, sweetness, and the joy of crafting!

Scrapbooking is all about capturing memories, celebrating the good times, and sharing positivity—just like a warm, fresh donut lifts your spirits. So, let’s channel that donut energy—soft, sweet, and impossible not to love—into every little piece we create. Because in the end, a scrapbook full of happy moments (and maybe a few donut doodles) is one of the best treats of all! Let's make this month one to remember. 🍩 💖

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).....

Have you ever had a warm donut? My mother used to make her own and would have them ready when I got home from school…. They were soooooo good! So this challenge is about warmth. You’ll need to use warm colors on your layout. Also use some die cuts to represent the donut holes being cut out and use at least 3 different printed papers on your layout.

Great challenge, Tracy! I have been crapping nothing but cool pastels lately so I'm excited to go in the opposite direction color-wise!

Here's mine using Warm Colors + 3+ Papers. I don't have a special diecut machine and couldn't find something that would work for the donut holes. I used some acetate leaves. :)
