ACOT Message Board

Congratulations to QueenBee89!  I will get your gift certificate out later today.
And thank you to everyone for the amazing layouts you created.  I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations in our gallery and monthly challenges 


If you have not yet picked an animal go HERE first BEFORE YOU SCROLL DOWN  and then come back for the rest of the instructions:  viewtopic.php?f=355&t=269914

Once you have chosen an animal, your adventure can begin by creating a layout that matches the characteristics of the animal you chose.  The colors I list below should be the primary colors but you can use a few other colors as accents plus black, white, and kraft (these, too, should just be accents).

If you aren't sure about something, ask here or send me a PM.  Fear not - I am very generous in how the theme can be interpreted.  And the photos do NOT need to be of these animals (but you may get bonus sprinkles if they happen to be those animals) - use the Theme column to get a sense of what kind of photos or general theme of the page can be






Rules:

• Challenge is open to layouts and cards; both tradiitonal and digital are OK if you can work through how to incorporate the tools piece in your digital piece
  
• All projects must be new
  
• No combining allowed except for the 25 Items challenge
  
• All projects must be posted in the gallery and here no later than 11:59 EST May 10 (Monday).  
  
• PRIZE: $10 ACOT gift certificate

I really like this one!  You certainly surprised me with this one...

I have photos to develop for this one and am excited to make this layout!

Thank you!
Debra

Have fun, my fellow leopard chooser 

Oh Larry the Lobster, why betray me like that? I rarely use red, brown or orange... but that's why it's a challenge! I do have some ideas...

Love the creativity on this one!

Super cool challenge! I'm super excited for this one

Yup - those claws can bite you sometimes!  But anyone from the city of bridges can make it work!  Go Pittsburgh (my daughter is finishing her junior year at Univ of Pittsburgh - go Panthers... said from a Nittany Lion alum...oh the humanity!)

This is a fun one!
haha
Can't wait to get started!

.....hmmmm...

 Wry clever challenge and love your sample.

What a clever challenge! So glad I chose the Peacock!

Wow, this was hard, but one of the things I like about challenges is that they force us to get out of our ruts. My animal was the garter snake.

So you felt sorry for Sammy the snake? Lol! Well you made the best of it! Hope he doesn't slither out of the scrap book album into your house!

Awesome challenge! And love your sample layout!

Great challenge, but going to be tough for me, because I chose leopard and yellow is my least favorite color to scrap with! LOL

This is fantastic!  Love hw you interpreted it
 

And I have some serious zebra photos!

Oh you are SO VERY creative! I LOVE this one! Putting a page together for the snake...having so much fun “getting my hands in this” challenge. I can’t wait to show you my page, it will hopefully make you laugh.

Orange and purple are my nemises...  maybe think more mustard or gold.  Even a yellow-ie beige. After all, leaopards aren't Big Bird yellow

I can’t figure out how to paste my page from the gallery here.
It is called “Delicious Fingerpaints”. 
I had the snake.
