ACOT Message Board

Hey everyone! Christmas will be here before we know it, so I thought we needed a Christmas in July Challenge to help get those Christmas photos scrapped. This can be Christmas day or any holiday activities leading up to it. You MUST also include stencil work and stitching! {Any kind of stitching.}

Here's an older example from me, but I'll be working right along side you to get some of my Christmas photos scrapped.

Merry Christmas


For the fine print....
This can be a paper or digital layout, or a pocket page. Sorry no cards this time. All work must be new. You may do this multiple times. You may combine with one other challenge that allows that. Please link your work here. Deadline is July 31st, 2017. A random winner will be selected for a $10 ACOT gift card from me! If there are more than 15 participants I will draw a second name for a RAK too.

Looking forward to your creations!

Super Idea Deanna!! Love your layout!!

I love it!!! Thanks for the push to get these completed!!!

Awesome challenge!

Cute layout! I think I have 2-3 layouts left to make from last Christmas... great challenge to get those done!

I'm so glad you did this, I toyed with doing it for the holiday challenge, but I'm glad you did it so I can play along.
maybe I'll make up some cutout cookies for while I scrap.  Sounds like a plan!

Love your example

Some of you gals are so clever!  What a great challenge!  We are in the bake house and it is way too hot here to enjoy the out of doors!

Yay - I've got so much Christmas stash that I need to use (so I can buy some of the new Christmas collections coming out!).

I combined this with Scraplift Saturday.  I scraplifted this off the Bella Blvd Pinterest page.  I used Star stenciling in the corner and stitched on the green swirl paper.

Here's my 2nd entry for Christmas in July combined with Sketch with a twist.  I included stenciled stars and stitching.

I stenciled silver stars around and drew in black stitching.  Combined with Title challenge.

Thanks for a great challenge, Deanna! Love your stenciling and stitching on your sample, I definitely want to give this one a try!

What a great mix of festive papers! I love your stencil work and the stitching along with the little sequins! Thanks so much for taking my Christmas in July Challenge, Melissa!

WOW! You are on a roll with the Christmas photos, Melissa!! I love the curvy title along with those cute accents! Thanks so much for playing again!

Now that I'm back to scrapping I have been working on my December album so I'm sure I can get this one done. It was our first Christmas with Coco and I have some cute pics of her and Sophie.

Yay! Looking forward to it, Janet!

Love how these challenges are making me think outside the box to come up with pages that I never would have thought of before.
