ACOT Message Board

Thanks for taking my challenge - I loved all of these layouts and all the journaling. The winner by random selection is 4kids_and_crafting. Please send a pm or email to Jessica at jessica@acherryontop.com to give your shipping info and let me know what the prize you won is. 


If you are like me you have a whole Pinterest board of quotes that you love, hopefully you have a favorite. For this challenge you will create a layout based on that quote. It could show what the quote means to you or how it applies to your daily life. The quote will be the title of your page. You should also have journaling, typed or handwritten, that reflects why this quote means something to you. My tagline here at ACOT and all my social media/e-mails is this specific quote. Here is my example:

The starfish poem is my "public" journaling and then there is a hidden tag, with more personal journaling. 

 

Here is the awesome prize for this challenge.  A maker's Glue Gun Kit generously sponsored by American Crafts.

Aww, thanks so much 

Great challenge and awesome sample layout!

Beautiful layout! AND I LOVE this challenge!

Oh my gosh, your page is stunning, and the journaling touching and very special.

What a lovely page, and a lovely challenge. My quote came from my Pinterest board that I have devoted to this year's One Little Word, Bloom.

Here’s mine, thanks for a fun challenge 

Wow, Kristin!  I love your LO...the journaling is beautiful and so is the poem.  Great challenge!

Here's mine. Used the quote "Live Love Lake" and my journaling talks about our time at the lake. I have added a few other quotes as well.

This is a multi-quote page.  On the front of each tag is a quote on the back is journaling.  How 2020 helped me to appreciate the hard times that lead to light

Hi. There are no images when I click the links. You need to submit it to the gallery here and then copy and paste it to this thread. 

I chose the quote Good things come in small packages.

This was such a perfect challenge because I had been holding onto this photo and trying to figure out how I wanted to put it into a layout. I stamped the quote and journaling lines and I love how this turned out!

I grew up in an era where I was CONSTANTLY told what my limits were.  I heard far more things I "couldn't or shouldn't" do, than things that I could or should. I decided early on that my kids were going to be raised with a more positive outlook - there were no limits; if they determine that a thing can and shall be done - well, let's find the way.  The epitome of this is my daughter graduating from a 2 year executive MBA program while working FULL time and being pregnant with her THIRD child. The journaling is written in such a way so that it is meant to be read by that child, Nora - now a beautiful 3 year old - at some point in the future. (Yes, I'm this proud of my son's accomplishments too. LOL)
