ACOT Message Board

Welcome to the October Progressive Challenge. Steps will be posted Tuesdays: October 1, 8, 15, 22, probably in the morning. Each step is due before the next one is posted except step 4 is due On Oct 31 at midnight. 

For step 1:

• Choose your photos and your size
  
• Choose 2 full size papers - one with a pattern and one solid. They must be from different manufactures (it's ok if you don't know the manufacturers as long as you are sure they are different)
  
• Find a collection pack or pad that has lots of papers left and is a different manufacturer than the 2 used above. Grab a bunch of scraps or small or medium sized pieces from this pack. Grab enough because you will not have to use them all but you will not have an opportunity to add more papers. 
  
• optional - if you want to mat your photos, do it now using any type and brand of cardstock. My photos are printed with a white border, that is fine too. 
  
• take a photo/photos of the above and post it to this thread before I post the next step on October 8 in the morning. If your scraps are double sided, you don't need to photograph both sides, I will believe you if you use the other side later. 
  

Here is my example:
My size is 12x12
I am using  4 photos as shown below ( apologies for the lousy photo and that it s sideways, but you don't need to be perfect at this time). My full size pattern is the blue woodgrain from Paper Rose
My solid is orange cardstock from either Bazzill, or AC, or MyColors


Here are my scraps are from Quick Quotes Secret Garden collection (they are double sided):



Rules:

1. Do not edit your post. If you make a mistake just post again. 
   
2. Do not adhere anything, do anything to your papers,  or cut any of papers at this time
   
3. You will have the opportunity to combine with other challenges at step 4.
   
4. If you have any questions, ask in this thread. Chances are if you have a question, someone else has the same question. If I don't respond in 24 hours or if you need the answer sooner, send me a PM. 
   
5. Each step submitted before the next step is posted will receive an entry into the prize draw.  Only people who finish step 4 are eligible for the prize which is a $5 ACOT GC. 
   

I'm so in love with your blue and orange  

Thinking cap on....

Louise, I'm SUPER EXCITED about THIS challenge, and so glad you brought it back! (I ALSO REALLY LOVE your papers!)

Here’s mine! I’ll be doing a 12x12 layout. My full sheets are Simple Stories & Bazzill. Scraps are from a Pink and Main paper pad. 

I choose 12x12 and two photos.  My solid yellow is Stampin' Up and the blue polka dot is Shimelle.  The scraps are Vicki Boutin.

I'm so glad to see this again!!  I'm going to pull photos today and get rolling!!!

I'll be doing a 12x12 with 2 photos.  I'm hoping to combine the finished layout with the Book Lover's challenge this month.
I went with white AC cardstock and patterned paper from Photo Play.  My other pieces will be 6x6 sheets from the Fancy Pants pad.

I'm choosing 12 by 12 and using 3 photos of my daughter with her cousins.  My full sheets are a solid green glitter from Heidi Swap and a lightly polka dotted peach paper.from Recollections. My scraps are every paper that I've cut into from Cocoa Vanila Happy Days collection.

Here's my step one! I have Vicki Boutin (American Crafts), Photoplay, and scraps from Echo Park!

I knew, as one who has commitment-phobia, Step 1 was going to be super challenging, but I do plan to play this month!

I love this challenge!  Thank you for posting!

My size 12x12
1 photo, matted in black cs.
My full size red printedd paper is K & Co.
My full size solid is The Paper Co.
My scraps are Graphic 45, and I even use stuff from the cover, so it is in my scraps, too.

I'm going to give this a try this month!  

My solid paper is from Recollections paper pad.
The patterned is from a DCWV Stack
My scraps are from 49 and Market - Wedgewood Collection

Here's my Step 1:

Bazzill Cardstock, Maggie Holmes Patterned paper (Checked), Paper Pad from Echo Park and I chose a 12x12 format with 1 4x6 photo and 4 3x4 photos, totaling 5.

Here is mine.   I am using 12 x 12 and 2 photos.  This is digi, but I selected my additional papers from one digi kit by Vicki Boutin (Print Shop) and I cropped them to be "scraps."  I promise I will not enlarge them, even though that is possible with digi.   My other 2 papers are the ledger paper by Cindy Ritter and the solid by Silvia Romeo.




 

My full size 12x12 pages are the notebook pattern by Simple Stories and teh red cardstock by Bazzill. I have scraps of paper left over from a Kiwi Lane Collection titled School days. I double matted my 4x6 photo.

My size is 12x12. I have 3 photos that I matted. My 12x12 pattern paper is 49 and Market and my 12x12 solid green is Close to my Heart. My scraps of paper are all from the same collection….but I do not remember the manufacture  ​​​​​​.
