ACOT Message Board

I don't usually host a challenge but as I was uploading this silly Easter card that I made for my son I thought it might make a good challenge. I made a standard 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch card, but I let the bunny ears extend past the edge of the card. You could do something similar with a layout by cutting your base page down to 10 inches on one side, for example, and have one element extend past that edge. So the challenge is to make a card or layout with at least one element extending past the edge.

Must be a new layout or card. Post to this thread by midnight June 30. You may combine with one other June challenge if allowed by that challenge, plus the 30/30 challenge. One entry per person. Winner to receive a $5 ACOT gift certificate.

Winner of the $5 gift certificate is Joannie for her Minion layout. Off to send it now! Thanks to all for playing along.

Here's my silly Easter Card:

And here's another older card of mine where I did something similar with reindeer antlers:

Oh my gosh....your cards are so cut!!  Really great challenge.

Those cards are adorable! Great challenge!

What a GREAT idea for a new challenge!! love your lil' reindeer!! 

Very creative challenge, Rhonda!  Can't wait to give this a try.

Super cute card and awesome challenge

Cool idea! I did something like that once ... but I didn't cut down the original page - great advice! 
Your card is super cute! Thanks for the challenge!!

I love this challenge,you are so creative!

Those cards are so creative and love your challenge idea, Rhonda! 

I made these over-sized goggles for your challenge! They hang over the top edge about an inch!  I combined with the 30/30 day #4 & June's color challenge!

Joannie that is so cute! And the goggles really pop out! Thanks for doing my challenge. 

I combined this with 30/30 Day #5 free for all Monday.    The card is for a friend of mine who is retired and plays the flute in 3 professional bands.    The flame of the candles go over the top edge of the card.

What a nice card for your friend! Thanks for taking my challenge. 

For the Over the Edge Challenge I came up with this card, it has the sun and clouds over the edge.

What a sweet card! Love how you used all the die cuts. Thanks for doing my challenge! 

Here is mine the tag at the top pull out from the back to reveal the journaling.


To do this I just tape a piece of cardstock on the back big enough to hold the tag

 What a neat idea! Thanks for sharing and entering my challenge.

Thanks Rhonda! 

I used an embellie (the square) for the "over the edge" look.

Here's my entry!  I made an oversized ice cream ... and made the card base a little smaller, so it will still fit in an A2 envelope.

Combining with the June Card Challenge and entering this as day 16 of the 30/30 challenge.
