ACOT Message Board

This one should be simple enough as just about anything holiday related goes!! Your December Prompt is 'Tis the Season'. You can use that in any way that inspires you. You don't have to use it for your title, but you can if you want. I just want you to have 'stress free' holidays if that's possible! LOL

Here's my example......

Tis the Season

 
For the fine print....
This can be a paper or digital layout ONLY! All work must be new. You may do this multiple times. You may combine with one other challenge that allows. Please link your work here. Deadline is December 31st. A random winner will be selected for a $5 ACOT gift card from me! If there are more than 20 participants I will draw a second name for a RAK too.

PERFECT Prompt! Lovely layout

Perfect prompt for December and I absolutely LOVE your sample!!

Very pretty page! Thanks for the holiday prompt and flexible options.

great Christmas layout and love the challenge!

It's been a long time since I've posted, so I'm not sure that the photos/links will work. I thought there was a tip sheet somewhere, but I don't remember how to find it.

The beauty of digital is that I can use a base for multiple layouts. My boys have separate scrapbooks with monthly pages. No one will notice these are the same.

So glad to see you posting again! Wonderful grid of photos and love the torn edge along with your embellishing! Great work with the December Prompt and thanks for playing along, Kimberly!

I have a question. I am Jewish, so while I certainly have seasons, I never accompany them with the word 'tis. I have photos from an entire cross country season, which in my son's opinion, is the only season. Would that work for this challenge?

Sure! I'm sorry I never thought about that.

No need to apologize. I've just not been scrapping much lately and I'm trying to motivate myself by finding challenges that will work with my printed photos. 

Great prompt Deanna! And I love your sample layout!

I have to ask you… how are you getting red text in your post?!!!!! I miss being able to color text and I even tried copying and pasting colored text in my posts and it still turns it black after I submit it. What is your secret?!!

I do it the old way, which is the way I've always done it. I use this and of course take out all the spaces.

Wow - that's awesome information, Deanna!! I just finished my layout for this challenge but it's way too dark to get a photo.  We have a busy day tomorrow so hopefully I can post tomorrow.

I used a G45 sticker for the prompt.
