ACOT Message Board

Hello, Cherries!  Welcome to March!    I apologize for being a few days late in posting!

This Challenge works just like Tic Tac Toe!  Pick a row, any row, up, down, sideways, or diagonal! (You must use an entire row -- this is not a pick 3 challenge.)  Then, create your project!  You can submit a layout, journal page, or a card, and it can be paper or digital.  You may enter as many times as you like, and you may combine with any other board Challenges that allow combining.  Please link your creations to this thread indicating which row or column you used.  The deadline for entries will be March 31, 2025 @ Midnight!  A randomly chosen winner will receive a $5 ACOT GC from Flasher! If you use all 9 elements on the board, you will receive a bonus entry! 

If you have any questions, let me know!

Here is your March board:

I like this board!!

middle column:  washi, free space, mixed alpha title.  combined with book lover's challenge.

I did the middle column: washi, free (die cuts), mixed alpha title

Here is mine. I did the middle row down, washi tape, free space and mixed alpha letters. I combined it with the weekly art journal challenge.

This is a great one!!

Here is mine:  Middle row down: Washi tape, free,( enamel dots, the star and heart)  Mixed alpha title  Thank you!

I used the  center column down: washi (two strips on the photo lower corner), free, and mixed font title.  I used a sketch by Jessica Michaels for 30 days of sketches for Christy's Beautiful Life.

For my layout I used the middle row across:  any shade of orange, free space (distress inking edges) and bird (left corner of phrase card).

mixed alpha title, free space and washi

I chose orange, free, and birds for my row.  I am combining with the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego challenge.

 
I used orange color, FREE, bird (top left corner pocket)

3rd row down.  Gray, birds (owls on paper), and distressing (edges of papers).  Combined with the Masculine Card challenge.

Layout created for the march grab 5 challenge, combined with the 3-in-a-row challenge, and the 30 prompts challenge.

Grab 5: hearts, the green color, chevrons, stars and woodgrain.

3-in-a-row:
Washi (tape under the label on the right, and the circle with splatters on the left), free (white splatter), mixed alpha title.

30 prompts #16: make a page that makes us smile.

stamped background, orange, sun

I went with the center horizontal line using orange (paper strip, photo mats), Buttons (crafter's choice), Bird (paper detail).  Combined with Penn's Bar Mitzvah Challenge #1.

National Junior Honor Society

I went through the middle - orange, crafter's choice (ribbon) and a bird (owls)

I also did the middle row (orange, crafter's choice (flowers), and bird).

Bottom Row: weather-clouds/rainbows, mixed alpha title-Echo Park and AC Thickers, and distressing-chalk ink on edges of photo mat.


 

I used everything for the bonus!

the grey is in the photo mats (charcoal grey)
the stamped background is “happy birthday” stamp; most got covered with PPs
the washi tape is yellow polka dot
the bird is on one of the upper left circle stickers
i distressed the butterfly paper used on the top and bottom of the page

I think everything else is obvious.
