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).....
For today's challenge I want you to take each letter of the word DONUT and use it in some way to complete your layout. Below is a few I thought of, but I'm sure you can think of more.
D - distress inks, die cuts, doodling, Doodlebug Designs paper
O - overlap, old scrap item, orange, oval shape
N - numbers, new scrap item
U - under
T - ticket, tab, twine, Tim Holtz, tape, tuck, technique
I would also like to see more than one photo on your layouts as well as 3 or more patterned papers.
Here is my layout.
I used die cuts for the letter D, overlapped my photos for the letter O, numbers for the letter N, tucked under border strip and embellishment cluster and tickets for the letter T.
