Monday 1/5: Sketch & Cowboy/Girl Shoes
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2026 8:50 pm
Well now, pull up a rockin’ chair, grab yourself a cup of somethin’ hot, and get ready—because we’re takin’ a trip right down to the Ozark roots of the Clampett clan and then hitchin’ a ride straight to the glitzy streets of Beverly Hills. That’s right, your January scrapbooking adventure is inspired by none other than The Beverly Hillbillies—where rustic meets ritzy, simple meets swanky, and we’re all just tryin’ to keep Granny out of the “cement pond.”
As we dive into this homespun meets high-falutin’ theme, it’s time to strike a little “black gold” of your own—creative gold, that is. We’re talkin’ pages that shimmer brighter than Ellie Mae’s smile and layouts that’ll make your creativity bubblin’ up faster than an oil well on a Tuesday.
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).....
Welcome to a new week of challenges! For today's Beverly Hillbillies themed project, I was inspired by the casts' footwear, specifically cowboy boots. My children love Morgan Wallen. We have been to several of his concerts. And it does not matter how hot the weather is, they both wear their cowgirl boots. This picture was taken of them at the Morgan Wallen concert in Knoxville in September 2024. The boots were definitely part of the outfit even though you can't technically see them. When I saw the cowgirl boot patterned paper the other day at Hobby Lobby, this project was born! My challenge to you today is to not only use this incredibly fun sketch created by Jenessa Franco and used by Sketches in Thyme's Team 3 last month, but also to create a project featuring footwear. Perhaps you could create a project that highlights dance shoes? Or maybe a new pair of sneakers? The possibilities are endless! As an added challenge, add a button to your project to give your layout a down-home, cozy feel. I'm excited to see your take on this project.
