ACOT Message Board

First of all, thanks to everyone for being so patient with me - I know this is a little late! When the board went down I had no way of knowing who had entered because I didn't create a gallery for the challenge entries so I needed the forum (lesson learned for next time!) 

So, without further delay, the winner is ….. HANNAH W. 
Congratulations Hannah, look for your $5 ACOT gift card in your inbox 

------------------------------------------
With all the excitement surrounding National Scrapbook Day I figured I'd post this once the festivities began to die down. You'll have until June 5th to complete it. Please upload your entries to this thread. 

MOOD BOARD - A type of collage that may consist of images, text and samples of objects. Designers often use mood boards to convey their design concepts and to communicate a vision to other members of a team. 

A quick refresher of the rules …
- Each month I'll post a photo of a mood board & you create a layout or card inspired by the board. Easy peasy.
- You can pull your inspiration from anything on the board … the colors, a quote, a photo, shapes, design elements
- Because this is such a general challenge & there are many ways to interpret it, you cannot combine with any other ACOT challenge (sorry!) … You can, however, create as many mood board inspired projects as you wish. Multiple entries are allowed.
** Please be sure to explain which part(s) of the board inspired you! ** 

Here is your mood board for May 2014 ...



There's lots to be inspired by here … honeycombs, squares, ombre, cupcakes & desserts, bicycles and of course the colors - just to name a few! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creations. Here's what I came up with ..



I was inspired primarily by the color scheme.
Post your entries below for a chance to win a $5 ACOT gift card. Good luck! 
-> Reminder: deadline for this challenge is Thursday, June 5th.

 Here is my submission. I was inspired by the haxagons and the colors. Thanks for such a great mood board!

Love the colors....perfect for this beautiful spring!

Cool board as usual! The colours and fun images, including the cake plates and treats, reminded me of birthday.

 

My take: Inspired by the light airy, happy feel, the bicycles and the colors! Thanks

Here's mine. I was inspired by the colors and the hexagons.

This pp looked like the mood board to me.  An amazing coincidence. 

here is mine:  I was inspired by the colors

Gorgeous creations ladies, I love how each are inspired by something different.

Here is mine. I got my inspiration fro several things. The colors, green and pink caught my eye, the monochromatic scheme, which I used paint swatches cut into butterflies, multiple quantities, like the bikes for several butterflies. Great board to choose from.

Here's my entry!  I was inspired by the colors in the mood board to use my Elle's Studio Love You More collection, and to use these girly photos of my DDs and my step-granddaughter painting their nails!  I also put my photos and blocks of the pp in a grid like the top portion of the mood board.  Thanks for the great challenge!
