ACOT Message Board

A big thanks to all of you cherries that participated in the May/June Cherry Lift Challenge!  Using random.org,  I chose a winner from the May entries for a $5 gc, a winner from the June entries for a $5 gc, and a winner from all of the entries for a RAK.  And the winners are............May gc is #22 Yankeegirl (Kathy)! June gc is #21 Tammey! And the winner of the RAK is 1scrappymom (Shannon)! Shannon, pm me your address & I'll get your RAK out in the mail.  Congratulations, ladies & thanks again to all who played along!!

Hey cherries! Since there has been SO much going on this month with challenges, NSD, guest designer, regular monthly challenges, I've decided to give you all extra time for the Cherry Lift challenge and to peruse Holly's gallery for inspiration.  I'm changing this to the May/June Cherry Lift challenge and will pick TWO winners July 1st.  I'll also send out a RAK if I get over 20 entries.

***UPDATE:  I have separated the May entries from the June entries and will pick a winner from each month, so if you entered a layout in May you can still enter a layout in June!  Sorry if I made this confusing, I'm going to do one entry per person for each month.  PM me if you have any questions..........P.S..........loving everyone's work with Holly's gallery!

BIG thanks to Chris (emmapaige) for hosting the April Cherry Lift challenge, and for picking my gallery.  It was fun to get to do my own challenge in April with our switch-up!

The Cherry Lift challenge is a scraplift challenge.  The idea is pretty straightforward, simply pick any layout from the ACOT gallery, maybe one you've had saved in your favorites, and lift it.  Simple as that.  Post your layout along with the lifted layout in this thread. But...I always like to offer a bonus entry!  If you select a layout from the gallery of the same cherry I lift for my sample, you can get two entries.  

For this month's challenge, I lifted hsblair's  "Afternoon Tea" layout, check out her gallery here, lots of inspiration!  If you lift a layout from hsblair's gallery, you'll get two entries! 
Here's my layout, and the layout I lifted:

I was immediately drawn to hsblair's layout with the block design, borders on top & bottom & placement of fun elements.  I knew as soon as I saw it that I'd have to lift it!
Here's the rules:
One entry per person
Open to layouts only, paper or digital
Your layout must be new work and the lifted layout must be from the ACOT gallery
Bonus entry if you lift the same cherry I lifted (anything from her gallery)
You can combine with any other challenge that allows - however, NO combining with NSD challenges
No gallery spot, please link both your layout and the layout you lifted here
Deadline is midnight, May 31, 2017
A winner will be chosen using random.org to receive a $5 ACOT gift card from me! 

I tried to cover everything, but if you have any questions, just ask them in this thread.  Most of all, have fun and I look forward to seeing your layouts!

A great lift Stacy! I really like hsblair's layouts. Going to be hard to choose!

I was just thinking the same thing.  So many great layouts, hard to choose.

great challenge, I love both of these pages

very inspirational lift!  love this challenge!

Oh, this will be fun!  Love going into my saved faves and picking a layout to lift---and I'm sure I have one of Holly's!  Your lift is wonderful!

Oh She has a great gallery! Love your lift StacyLee.

Oh, wow!  I am honored to have you lift one of my layouts.  Your layout is fabulous!
I love scraplifting, but I didn't get around to doing the Cherry Lift challenge last month, so I'll have to pick one of YOUR layouts for this challenge this month!

It was so much fun hosting this challenge last month!!!

I love your sample and have several of hsblair's layouts saved to my favorites.

I love your lift of her layout! Great design!

Love it!

I lifted hsblair's LO! She has some amazing work.                                             Here is my scraplift.

I scraplifted hsblair's page. 

Here is mine:

Here is hers:

These are my little great-nephews born April 1 but only came home from the hospital April 25.  So happy they are home and so much better!

I also lifted hsblair for this - I LOVE her layouts!
