January 17 Challenge:Stay Golden

Well now, pull up a rockin’ chair, grab yourself a cup of somethin’ hot, and get ready—because this month @ Cookin' up Creations 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).....

When the Clampetts struck “black gold, Texas tea,” their lives changed overnight. They traded a simple life for a Beverly Hills mansion. Even with all that wealth, what mattered most was family, heart, and staying true to who they were.

Your challenge:
Create a layout or project inspired by The Beverly Hillbillies that reflects this idea of sudden riches mixed with humble values.

Your project must include:
• Gold (foil, metallic ink, embossing, paint, embellishments, yellow, it doesn’t have to be shiny)
• Stars
• Hearts

That’s it! Your project can be fancy, simple, or somewhere in between, just like the Clampetts themselves.
Here is my project. I used pictures of me with my baby grandson, behind the pictures and through out the background I added some gold rub-ons from Stampin Up. I also added gold stars and gold hearts.

Let’s see your take on gold, stars, and heart Clampett style!

The pictures are not the best. I was overwhelmed with emotions. The pictures I got were thanks to my son Jerry who would either take the pictures or remind me to take them. I’m just glad and thankful for the pictures I have.
