This month at Cookin’ Up Creations, we’re turning our creative tanks into aquariums of inspiration! Whether your scrappy stash is teeming with color or hiding a few quirky surprises like that one-eyed googly fish, we’re challenging you to open the lid and show us what’s swimming inside.

From bubbly embellishments and underwater hues to layouts that make waves with motion and texture, this month we’ll explore a different part of your crafty ecosystem. Think of it like cleaning out your fish tank—only way more fun and way less smelly.

It’s time to check the filter, stir the waters, and let your creativity flow free. What’s in your tank? Let’s find out—one page at a time.


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).....

What is a fish tank without some air bubbles. We have a fish tank that continues to produce air bubbles for the fish that live it. Where else do we see bubbles?
My challenge to you today is to use the sketch above, a photo or photos with some kind of bubbles, some ink splatters or ink stamping, and some curved cut shapes.

Here is my page

Here's my take on the Sketch. I think of the ocean waves for my Bubbles + Splatters + Curved Cut Shapes. :)

I loved through several pics and this is the only ones I came up with. The kids carbonated drinks at the restaurant. You can see the cans on the table.
My wavy lines are tiny. I used the CM wave cutter
