ACOT Message Board

Welcome to the winter progressive challenge. There will be 5 steps this time, showing up on Fridays. One may  come early and can be done out of order. All of this will be explained as it happens. I will keep the schedule updated on this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=279242

For step 1:

1. chose at least one photo, but no more than 4
   
2. chose 1 piece background paper (may be a print or solid), cut it to the size that your layout will be if it isn't already that size 
   
3. chose 1 stencil
   
4. chose 1 stamp set
   
5. if you would like to mat your photos with any color of cardstock, do it now. I printed mine with a white border, that is fine too. Unmatted photos are also fine. (I trimmed my white border down after I took the photo, you should trim it now if you think you will want to)
   

Take a photo of all of this and link it to this thread.

Here is my example:

Rules:

1. Open to layouts and art/travelers journal pages, can be any theme or subject you would like
   
2. May be combined with one other challenge that allows combining but not until the final step
   
3. Do not add or do anything other than what is listed here, you will have plenty of opportunities to add more things 
   
4. Do not save your spot of edit your post. If you make a mistake, just post again correctly.
   
5. This step is due next Thursday January 16 at midnight
   
6. Digital is fine, but you might want the ability to print something out at some point
   
7. Each step completed on time will get you one entry. One randomly selected winner will receive an ACOT $5 GC. If there is a lot of participation, there may be a second winner. Only people who complete step 5 will be eligible, but if you are late on an earlier step you are still eligible, you just won't get credit for that step.
   
8. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK ON THIS THREAD!
   

I hope you have fun!

here is my start, matted in mint green and black. The stencil is arrows, on left side

Oh I love it! Now to see which of my stencils can match up with my stamps because I have not a huge amount of either That's what I love about the progressive challenge - you just have to step out in faith and commit to your supplies
