ACOT Message Board

Thank you to all who played along with this challenge, I got some new ideas of little items to mix in with my enamel dot clusters!    According to random.org the winning number is.....#14, Joannie!!  Congrats, Joannie! I'll be emailing Rachel the list of winners today!

For Challenge #3 I'm going to ask you to Mix It Up and use something I think most of us consider a "staple" in our scrapbook supplies....enamel dots.  BUT, there's a twist!  Your challenge is to use your enamel dots with at least ONE OTHER ITEM such as buttons, gems, flowers, sequins, and a couple of my favorite options are brads and wood veneer shapes.  You can sprinkle them, group them, use as many as you want, the requirement is that you mix in another item with your dots.  If you don't have any enamel dots in your stash please PM me and I will help organize an intervention    LOL, just a little early morning sarcasm!  But, if you don't have any let me know and I'll figure out a way for you to still play along.

Here's my sample where I mixed wood veneer, sequins and pearls with my enamel dots:


Rules:
Use at least one other item along with enamel dots on your project
I'll open this up to cards, also.  Must be a NEW layout or card
One entry per person
You may combine with one other November challenge, but not another Guest Designer Challenge
Deadline is midnight, November 30, 2019
One randomly chosen winner will be selected to win a $5 gift card, courtesy of ACOT!
Most of all, have FUN!

Yes! Another great item, I'm going to edit my post an add it, thanks 

Another great challenge and I’ve got plenty of all the above! 

Love how you used these items on your cards and pages, Stacy.  I have a lot of all of these items, and it will be fun to think up new ways to use them together!

I will be back later in the month with a new sample for you using Carta Bella's Home Again collection.  In the meantime, I'll share a few images below from my gallery to give you a visual of what I'm looking for.  On the card, I used a little flower with my dots.  On the second one I used a brad with my dots and on the third one I used a little wood veneer heart.

Stacy, Do you also consider Nuvo drops as enamel dots?? I have enamel dots, but if I want a certain color I use Nuvo. 

Very cool! I LOVE mixing enamel dots with other small embellies

Sounds like a great challenge! Like a cluster of accents including enamel dots of some kind.

Sure! I used to make my own enamel dots with perler beads too. I’ve been wanting to try the Nuvo drops but haven’t yet. Can’t wait to see what you create!

Great Challenge and no need for an intervention here... I've got plenty of dots... sequins... buttons... wood veneer... yikes! 

 

The only intervention I might need is that I have too many enamel dots...if that is possible! LOL  Here's my take

tiny white buttons with my enamel dots

I have some Doodlebug mini-doodle pops (flowers) with enamel dots.  Both are on the right page.  Top teacup with yellow enamel dots and purple flower.  Bottom teacup with pink enamel dots and a teal and pink flowers.

Fun challenge! I used matte & glossy dots with buttons and star punchies. The bigger cluster at the bottom also has a dymo label.



 

I used enamel dots with puffy hearts and sequins.

Here is one from me.
Using a Paige Evans cut file and then enamel dots and copper coloured sequins.

Enamel dots and paper leaves.

I love using enamel dots and what another great challenge!
