ACOT Message Board

For this first challenge, I am going with another Sketch with a Twist.  I have been loving these sketches from Scrapbook Generation, and this one is awesome, too!  Since the weather turned cooler here, I am filled with Autumn feelings, so your twist is to include some Fall-themed embellishments (leaves, pumpkins, cocoa, bonfires, s'mores, football, etc.)  You must include at least 2 embellishments with the Fall theme, but your layout doesn't have to be a Fall layout.   Remember, I should be able to tell you used the sketch, so don't change it too much!



You have until midnight, TUESDAY, August 20th, to upload your layout into the gallery spot I've provided.
Must be a new layout.
CANNOT be combined with other challenges, except for the challenges requiring multiple creations, such as the Bi-Monthly, 100 Papers, and Team challenges.

Cool sketch! Can’t say I am quite ready for fall yet!

Normally, I wouldn't be, either, but July was so stinkin' hot!  We got this lovely cool weather, with highs in the high 70's and lows in the 50's and I just want that from here until the end of October!  lol

are you counting Halloween as Fall?  great sketch BTW

Pumpkins, yes, ghouls and goblins, no.

Oh this is perfect!!! I was looking for some specific pictures from the 90s (our first married Xmas) and couldn't find them but I did come across some football-related pictures of us and put them on the side!!! And oh I hear you about being ready for fall temperatures. This summer has been crazy hot - our electric bill has been through the roof and I realize I would much rather be chilly than sweating to death. TMI, I don't remember sweating quite this much other years. Menopause and heat waves LOL!? Anyway, great challenge, LOL!

Great sketch!  This will be fun! 

I really like that sketch! 

And, BRING on FALL!  Soon.  Very soon, please. 

I used three big leaves in this layout.

Oh, this is a great sketch!

My LO, leaves.

Layout created for MMC august 12 #1; sketch challenge. I’ve flipped the sketch 90 degrees, and used 1 photo instead of two.
I’ve gone all in on the fall theme

Total points for team Stinkerbelle: 13 (ACOT challenges [MMC + 100 papers], upload, tile alphas, ribbon, enamel dots, labels, border punch, speciality paper [strip of gold glitter paper], chipboard [frames], something old: sequins, something new: decorative brads, wordy bits).

 

i have apples, pumpkins, leaves and acorns

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees. I used 2 leaves (stickers) and a pine cone (fussy cut)

Laura, I LOVE Debbie and Allison's sketches too!  I have notebooks FULL of them!!!  This is one I've done a couple of times.  Here's my newest version with pictures of my HS sweetheart and I in 1972.  My fall items are the maple leaves under the bird rubon.  I combined this with the Team Stinkerbelle challenge.

Loved this sketch.  Used leaves and pumpkins as my two fall items. 

I stayed pretty true to the sketch. My fall embellishment is volleyball. Nothing says fall like girls volleyball, almost as much as football! This sketch worked perfect for my photos.
