ACOT Message Board

For this month's challenge I selected a sketch I found on Pinterest created by Heather Waldron. To have your name entered, all you need to do is create a paper or digital layout using the sketch provided:

BONUS ENTRY:   For a BONUS entry into this month’s challenge, show me some STAMPING.  I was talking with some friends at a recent crop about stamps, more specifically how we all like them....have them....and rarely use them on our layouts.   For my example, I used two stamps, a sentiment stamp on the notebook paper, and also a journal spot stamp.  Use any type of stamping technique on your page for a bonus entry this month, just please make sure you point out to me what you stamped. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's printed and what's stamped

Oh, I like this sketch! And your sample is amazing!! Thanks for hosting!

Oh, you must have been reading my mind this morning!  I was thinking about how many stamps I have, and how seldom I use them.  Thanks for the push!  Great sketch, and love your page example, Stacy!

Great challenge, thank you.

LOL....that's just for the bonus, not required 

That's a great sketch and such a wonderful example too, Stacy! I too have lots of stamps but rarely pull them out. Thanks for the push!

LOVE the sketch and your sample layout!!! 

what a cute challenge, and I really need to dust out the stamps too, hopefully the ink pads have not dried out!!  can't wait!

Cute sketch. Love your take on it.

I'm in love with this sketch! And your example is so cute with the train tracks and great stamping. I love to use stamping on my layouts so this will be fun!

Stacy I really like this sketch!! What a challenge as well to use stamps. I have quite a few and it will be fun using them. Your example and take on the sketch is really beautiful. I love the photos! Thank you for this challenge.

Here's mine based on the sketch. For the Bonus I used a roller stamp with chevrons at the top left and the 'Life is Good' on the Kraft Tag.

I combined this with the Use Your Stash Challenge.

I was delighted when I found I had a "stamp" sticker embellie! That really led my whole choice to scrap these pics for this challenge. I stamped the words "this was an awesome day" on the journaling card (photo here). I combined this with the TV challenge.
Thanks!

Here's mine I stamped the journaling spot, The Good Times and the 2014

Here is mine - with stamping for the bonus. I started with the 3 pics and the paper layers but since my photos were larger, I had to make some changes. The banner became a border sticker, the banners still on the right side just at the very bottom. Still have the journaling block too.

Here is my LO. I wrote the date in a box that I stamped.

Here is my take on the sketch... (combined with the music challenge)

Here is mine and I did the bonus. The lips and words are a stamp.
