ACOT Message Board

Thanks everyone for rising to the challenge of the added item TwistList!  Gorgeous entries as usual and I will try to go back and leave  gallerylove for all that I missed. 
For now though, Random.org says that #15- Croppinmama - Lori   is the winner of the GC 
and #30 -Crafty Shannon for the RAK. Please pm your address before end April

 

Due to its popularity, the TwistList is back!     But ~ you are all pros at it now so I added a TWIST!

Make a new layout, or off the page project (not a card or tag please)  using any  8  items from the TWISTED list below. 
And as you complete more of this month’s ACOT challenges (combine this with one other) keep checking the list.  When you have used 8 more items, show your projects off in this thread (there is no gallery)  and list the 8 items you used.
Put each new project with list of 8 in a separate post.
 
Each post in this thread of projects with 8 things used from the TWISTlist will give you an entry to win my $5 GC…and some RAK’s if there are lots of entries. 
 
Get a BONUS entry if it is a vacation LO.  We didn’t get to travel this year so I want to live vicariously through you!!   (I will accept anything fun away from home – just explain how it fits if it isn’t obvious)
 
In each post, you must account for 8 different items 8 places on your page   (example- you cannot count #7 & #8 if your tag is a hexagon,  you cannot count #4 & #5 if your photos are children playing wearing swimsuits,  choose one or the other.)
You can have more than 8 items from the list, but only sets of minimum 8 items on different projects will be counted for separate entries.  
You can use the same item more than once on different projects in different posts.  (example – you can have 3 different LO’s with #14 flowers,  in 3 different posts)   
You can use anything else you need to make your page work for you.   Any other questions, please post here or PM me.

Awesome, Karrie, thanks for the challenge!  Thanks for the bonus, too. I'm still working on layouts from my DC trip in 2010 and the Keys last year!

I love the twist lists!!!  Question - if something is mentioned like brads or enamel dots and you use both brads and enamel dots, does it count as 2 entities of the list?

#'s 6, 17, 22, 29, and 29 have multiples.

thanks!

Love this challenge! Now off to pick my choices, lol!

I love the idea of doing 8 at a time. I start to get myself underwater when its use as much as you can for a month. I feel like I have to try and jam it all in (my own doing/feeling of course) and then I just stall myself. LOL

This is totally doable and sounds fun! Thanks.

WHOO HOO!!!!! LOVE IT!!!

Great list! I hope to do this one this month!!

Glad you do!!  Good question - but no, if you use the options i've given in one number it counts as that one number... I've just tried to give a variety as not all people will have that certain thing.

I am VOWING to get this challenge done this month!  Complex, truly a challenge, and I love it!!!

2. 5 patterned paper
3.die cuts
4. washi tape
5.geometric shape- the circles
6. a large title
7. enamel dots
8. a tag



This was fun, may have to try another, lol.

wow, so many great choices here!!!  I have lots of ideas!!!

Yay for the TwistList!
