Monday 12/15: Sketch & Christmas Town
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2025 8:55 pm
This December, we’re taking a magical trip to the Island of Misfit Toys — where every imperfect creation finds its place and every quirky layout shines! Whether your photos don’t quite match, your embellishments march to their own beat, or your color combos are just a little offbeat, this is the month to embrace the beauty of being unique.
Join us at Cookin' up Creations as we celebrate the wonderfully “imperfect” side of creativity. After all, just like a spotted elephant or a train with square wheels, every scrapbook page deserves a little love and a whole lot of sparkle.
So dust off those forgotten supplies, rescue those unfinished pages, and let’s give our “misfit” projects a happy home — one glittery layout 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).....
Hello everyone! For today's Island of Misfit Toys challenge, I was inspired by the characters living in Christmas Town including Santa and Rudolph. A few years ago, my nephew was super into The Flash and got all sorts of costumes for Christmas. He spent the remainder of Christmas wearing his flash mask unwrapping his presents. And then the next thing we knew, my Dad was wearing one as well! Because those two were so in the Christmas spirit enjoying the gift, I decided that the inhabitants of Christmas Town needed to be on this project. My challenge to you is to not only use this fun sketch from Sketch in Scrap, but also to create a project featuring someone you love unwrapping Christmas gifts. As an added twist, include a sticker of Santa, Rudolph, or another inhabitant of Christmas Town on your project as well.
Here is the sketch...
