Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2025 9:07 am
Join us all month long as we take a creative journey back to the Stone Age with a Flintstones-themed scrapbooking adventure! Embrace the prehistoric charm of Bedrock as you transform everyday memories into dino-mite keepsakes, bursting with stone-age style and personality.
Hop into your foot-powered scrapbook-mobile, grab those bone-shaped embellishments, and let your creativity roll—because this month, we’re getting back to our roots, and it’s gonna rock the (quarry) house. Yabba Dabba Doo!
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).....
"Yabba-dabba-do!" was the famous catch phrase of Fred Flinstone. The expression of excitement was an improvisation by actor, Alan Reed, who voiced the character, back in 1960. The inspiration for the phrase came from Reed's mother's saying, "A little dab'll do ya!", which she likely borrowed from a Brylcreem commercial. (Brylcreem is a hair product known for creating a slicked back, shiny looking hairstyle.)
In addition to using the sketch below (from July 2024 PageMaps.com), please use an expression of excitement with an exclamation point on your layout, stitching (faux or real), and something that shines.
I used the full 2-page sketch, but you may use just one side or the other if you prefer! I also used small "Yay!" stickers (one on the lower left corner of the journaling block and one on the upper right plaid square on the left page of my layout.) One of my patterned papers has a stitched pattern and I added faux stitching with a fine tip black Sharpie to the solid pink, white, and green blocks on the layout. My shiny elements are the gold letters in my stickers and the plastic, colored dots next to the butterflies.
I can't wait to see your take on this challenge!
