1/24 - Clothing Challenge

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).....

This challenge is about the clothes the family wore. We all know they started out very poor but as they “moved on up” they didn’t really change their style of clothes. Jethro and Elly May both continued to use rope to hold their torn and patched pants up. So you’ll need to use some rope, twine or string and some patches. And add some stickers to your page as well.

Used jute to stitch edges and tag tie. Patch is a real bluejean patch that I used as the photo mat and die-cut letters, lots of word stickers
