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).....

Let’s roll into the last Donut Challenge of the month with a layout that celebrates movement, layers, and the little joys of life like an evening bike ride with someone you love.

My page captures “Wonderful Things,” and that’s what we’re scrapping this week, the simple sweet stuff.

Your Challenge:
1. 🍩 Use at least 5 paper layers behind your photos, stack ‘em like a box of donuts with ALL the toppings!
2. 🍩 Include a tag or journaling tab with the date or a word.
3. 🍩 Add polka dots somewhere on your layout, just like donut sprinkles! Big, small, muted, or bold!

Optional Glaze: Use a title or sentiment that celebrates the everyday, for example, “Wonderful Things,” “Right Now,” or “Simple Joys.”
My example with pictures of Jorge and me going on a bike ride.

Can’t wait to see what you create! Let’s see those happy layers!

Lots of papers behind my photos because I made this layered paper strip situation much bigger than I needed it to be, banner tab with "happy halloween," and polka dots on my daughter's costume.
