ACOT Message Board

How are we already in the last month of 2024?! We're very busy in full-Christmas mode around here & will be celebrating a SIXTH birthday next week! One of the new Switch games Wyatt is getting for his birthday is The Grinch: Christmas Adventures and that seemed like an appropriate choice for December for my challenge! 

Here's our color palette... 




As always, we will have two options for your project(s) with an opportunity for a BONUS entry if you use both on a single project.

Option 1: Use the above color palette for your project. You will need to include at least (3) of the featured colors. Have fun!

Option 2: Create a layout featuring photos from December. I know everyone has different traditions, beliefs and celebrations this time of year, so I'm keeping it wide-open! If your photo was taken in the month of December, of any year, it counts! 

For my layout, I used a sweet photo of me and my almost-six year old taken a few days before his first Christmas in 2018. 



The Fine Print

Option 2

Here's my layout using both the color palette and photos from last December. My daughter and I taking photos on our night out to see the Nutcracker ballet. 

Went with Option 2 for this one...Christmas card photo shoot in 2004.  Found the card in rough shape, but wanted to scrap these anyway. Combined with Baby/Kid Challenge.  

I chose Option #1  and used the color palette

I used the color palette and the photos were taken in December last year.

Went with Option 2 again. I have had these on my desk for a long time but hate how I look in them. I am always the one preaching to get yourself in your books no matter when so followed my own advice.  Combined with the Baby Kid Challenge. 

Here is mine, I used option 1.

I combined both options (colors and December).  Also submitted to Manufacturer challenge.

Using both options and combined with the Dec. Sketch with a Twist:

Perfect timing on this video game!  Combined with Baby & Kid challenge

I went with option 1 and created a Christmas card for a friend. I used the olive green, burgundy red and white.


peace card

I went with both options
