Cookin' Up Creations

We have all heard children (and many adults) say, "When I Grow Up..."
The world is full of opportunities and this month we are going to explore some of them. Join us in September as we create challenges based on careers . . . Who knows, you might decide what you want to be when you grow up!


When I Grow Up - Anon

Someday soon when I grow up, I’ll have a job to do
I’ll write a book or be a cook
Or work inside a zoo.
I might want to drive a bus
Or teach children to read
I’ll lead a train or fly a plane
Or plant a little seed.
I might want to fight a fire
Or be a doctor too
I’ll build a house or sew a blouse
Or sail the ocean blue.
So many jobs that I might choose
I wonder what I will be
I’ll work and learn
Until it’s my turn
To find the right job for me.


Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....



*Winner will be chosen via Random.Org.
The last challenge for the month of September is here! One of my dreams as a little girl was to be an archeologist . For this challenge you must dig, like archeologists do, into your stash to find old artifacts: pictures, paper, or embellishments to add to your page. Since archeologist study the layers of different cultures and civilizations, you must add layers to your page or layout. For my artifact I used a picture of my family from 2008.

It's a great example for your challenge, Lolis!

What a sweet page! Great challenge! I wanted to be an archeologist too, especially after I saw the Pyramids in Egypt.

great challenge and page, Lolis

My layers are the picture frame, the photo is very old and I made the watch using a Kwik Kutz die I have had for years.

great job, Ural

Wow! This is great! The watch is just perfect for this layout! Thank you for taking the challenge!

Timeless! Beautiful cards! Thank you for completing the challenge.

Here's mine! Pretty much everything I've used is old. The photos are from 2001. KaiserCraft is 2018 and Simple Stories Accents have been in my stash awhile. I also layered with 49 and Market Ephemera pieces.

Very old photos of Brad and some of his brothers on the left and his Dad on the right. (March 2001)

Woo! Hoo! I got them all done this month, except for the cutfile and I don't have anything to use that with.
