ACOT Message Board

When I saw the adorable Pilgrims and Native Americans in the Doodlebug collection, I knew exactly what photos I would use. When my (now 16yo LOL - see what I mean about me not scrapping chronologically!) son Anthony was in Kindergarten, they did a little Thanksgiving celebration where each K and preK student paired up and said a line. Anthony’s line was “America was new and strange to the Pilgrims but America had always been Squanto’s home.” When we practiced with him, we got all dramatic with fist shaking at “always Squanto’s home!” LOL! He didn’t do that when the time came but that’s been a funny Thanksgiving family joke ever since.
 
I liked this sketch because it allows up to 6 pictures to be scrapped. I substituted one spot for the cute Pilgrim people 4x6 cutout and jazzed it up with stickles and a pumpkin. But what really made me get this collection was the adorable little “Squanto” sticker – isn’t he cute!?
 
Your challenge is to use the below sketch. You can make a double page or single page layout. See rules for entries.



 
Bonus entry: Create a little scene (with stickers, rub-ons, die cuts, whatever you have) to support the theme of your layout. I did a Thanksgiving theme but it could be any theme you like! Howdy, Squanto!  (More close ups in my gallery)


 
    Rules:

• New creations only – LAYOUTS ONLY for this challenge
• MAY be combined with ONE other challenge that allows it and the Becky Fleck sketch
• May not be combined with other November Guest Designer challenges
• Please post in gallery by 11/30/15 11:59 PM EST.
• Double page layout = 2 entries.  Single page layout (either side) = 1 entry. Edited: May enter no more than 4 entries (so any combination of double page, single page up to 4 entries, not including whatever bonuses you might include. So you could do 2 double pages, 2 single pages, no double pages, all single pages etc lol).  Is my math right?

ADORABLE layout! I love this sketch and love the bonus!

OMG!!! Love your layout. This will be a fun challenge. I always Love it when there is a 2 page challenge.

LOVE the sketch.  Will see if I can find something to fit.

That's a wonderful 2-page sketch and I love your cute example!! 

Great sketch and super cute example!!

Adorable layout, and love this sketch!

I am in awe of all the work you put into setting up these very challenging and fun challenges, Anne-Marie!  And love this page, too!!

what a great sketch!!  and I adore your LO!  funny, I love Thanksgiving, but until a few years ago, never took pictures during that holiday

Wonderful layout! Those doodlebug are sooo cute! 
Great challenge

What a great sketch and I love how you used the theme paper!!  Question...so we can enter this twice but it has to be a 2 page and a 1 page? It couldn't be 2 - 2 page layouts, etc, right?   Sorry, it's Friday and my brain is fried (too many workouts!!!), but I really want to do the challenge...cause it's awesome!!    LOL  

Love your layout!! Big Doodlebug fan here!!!

I love your layout and another big Doodlebug fan here.

Hmmm...to paraphrase the great Dr. Sheldon Cooper lol...I had not considered that someone might want to do two double page layouts! I'll edit the rules.  Good point LOL! So I will make it that you can enter twice...for not more than 4 entries (not counting the bonus, should you add that in too.) Too much math?????? LOL! I hope my math is right!  I'm so glad you guys like the sketch! I love when you can get lots of 4x6 on a page! Sometimes you just can't crop anything out.

Here's my entry.

I used this sketch as a 2 pager and managed to fit 8 pics. I needed help with a design of a 2 pager for these various pics from the tour and this sketch worked well. I love the long title in the center across the 2 pages.

I LOVE this sketch!!! Here is my 2 page layout. My daughters growing up. 

Here is my take on the sketch. Thanks for letting me share. In case anyone is interested in seeing how it came together please check out the video.
