Aug 20 - Puffers and Octopuses
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2025 9:01 am
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’s in my tank you ask? Stickers and patterned paper scraps…lots of them! My challenge for you today is to create a page using some scraps of patterned papers to create an interesting background. In addition to your background, please use Puffy Stickers on your page (I love puffer fish!) and ink your edges (because I love octopuses and I think it’s so cool that they can squirt ink!)
Have fun!!
