July 25, 2025 Donut Challenge: Glaze It With Blue

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).....

Hey sweet scrappy friends! 🍩💙
It’s time to sprinkle some magic on your pages with today’s Donut Challenge inspired by winter chills, warm hugs, and a touch of blue icing and this picture of winter themed donuts!

Image

Your challenge:
1. Use at least two circles on your layout — think donut holes, photos, or even journaling spots!
2. Incorporate the color blue as your main mood — from icy to indigo, paint the chill!
3. Add sparkle or shine — glitter, foils, sequins, or embossing — give it that sugar glaze!
My example— Pictures of Jorge and me in Albuquerque, NM casually enjoying the snowy day. The circle pictures show some scenes as we were driving. The background paper already came printed with the mix media look. The sparkly embellishments have been in my stash forever!
Image

Don’t forget: Life is short, eat the donut, cut the paper, wear the puffy coat!

Let’s see your frosty blue creations!

I bought the paper to use it as inspiration to create my own mix media backgrounds. I was hoarding it for a long while, but I decided to start using it already.
