Cookin' Up Creations

Join us all month long in January as we post challenges with the focus of scrapping with our unused stash!

Let's face it, we all have a scrappy stash …. things that we are hoarding, forgot we had, never got around to using … yeah, you know you have it, too!

So join us as we say “OUT WITH THE OLD . . . IN WITH THE NEW!”

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).....



For my challenge today, I'm continuing to use up my stash of Christmas paper. For this project, I dipped into a supply of Crate Paper materials to feature this picture of my daughter enjoying a fancy coffee at Christmas in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania last month. I also reached for a flag die cut I had in a basket on my desk along with a strip of gingham ribbon. My challenge to use is to continue to use up a stash of paper you have been using this month along with finding two additional items you find lying around in your scrap area. I can't wait to see what you create!

Fun challenge!

And love Gettysburg!! Super local to me, hubby and I just spent a night up there for our birthdays this past weekend!

Yes! I’m still working on Christmas pages too! Lovely page !

Does it have to be Christmas or can we use older paper we have been using this month?

It can be any kit you want. I almost did a Valentine page, but Christmas called my name.

Yea! I was able to fit this in before my Sourdough class.
I have had this grey Bazzil Cardstock forever. I grabbed old ephemera and some twine

I have been working on getting rid of beach paper and especially this line from Bo Bunny which I bought years ago. The elements I grabbed to use from my stash were the wood US pin and the Family tag at the bottom which has to be from years ago also.

I keep a bin on my desk that I call bits and pieces. The scrolls, star, and border punch came from there. The pattern paper came from my scrap bin.

These are all wonderful pages ladies!
Great challenge Stephanie!

I grabbed some OLD letter beads, beads and wire from my stash.
