ACOT Message Board

This monthly contest is going to be a fun one! Go to the gallery, find a Christmas layout you love (you can do with a gallery search by category) and THEN scraplift it as a layout for ANY OTHER HOLIDAY! Got that? No Christmas photos need be scrapped for this contest...we know you like to horde those ! 

By the way, Sus asked me to pass on the word, that the winners of the Bling contest from last month will be announced Wednesday or Thursday of this week, when she gets back from Vegas!

Nope Jaime...it's for both paper and digi. Kathy's layout is paper, as mine will be, but Kathy scraplifted a digi page to add a little extra twist to hers!

Jenna, I'm going to say yes...birthdays are a holiday! At least they are around my house...they last a MONTH!

 Sounds like a fun contest Laura!

 Birthdays are a holiday here too!  We decorate and everything! lol

This sounds like a lot of fun, going to sit here and look through pictures I have no scrapped yet, see if I have anything to contribute.  The hard part for me is I have no idea the names of most of my supplies!  Only those not opened and previously used still have the original wrappings.  But, I'll try!

 Ooohhh! This is a FUN one!! Can't wait to get some time to scrap!!

 What a fun contest!!

Love the lifts (and orig's!)

Helene, you can always do a "Does anyone recognize this paper/flower/swirl thread". There are lots of people here who could help you identify products!

what a wonderful idea, I can't wait to come up with something.

 Great contest.. and I feel so lucky to have such talent think my page is scraplift worthy..    I'm blushing.. =)
 the examples are awesome btw..

 Fun twist! This should be a blast!

 This is a great idea!

Loved this challenge- got mine done!  Is there a spot in the gallery for this one yet?

 I just uploaded mine as well but found no category for it yet.
you guys slacking over there?

 Sorry girls! There's a gallery now! Thanks for your patience!

 So glad that birthdays count!  Now, to get a layout done!

 This is a great challenge. Maybe I'll participate since I have the next 2 weeks off

 My parents are coming...so I JUST might have some scrapping time!!!

 Thanks Laura!
