ACOT Message Board

I am trying out a new challenge, something different. Hopefully it will be fun.

I have made s secret list of scrapbook supplies. Whoever uses the most items on the list wins. Create a layout or other paper crafting project and make a list of the supplies. Link an image of your creation and your list onto this thread. 

Instructions on the list:

• Be specific and thorough with your list.
  
• For example, with paper, you would list things like: cardstock, patterned paper, shimmer paper, glitter paper, etc
  
• For paint, ink, or other coloring mediums, you need to list the specific type: acrylic paint, watercolor paint, etc
  
• You do not need to list manufacturer, color, or how many of the item you used (for example: "buttons" is the same as "3 red buttons")
  
• the list can be as long as you want as long as the item is used on your project at least once
  
• do not bother to list adhesive, it is not on the list
  
• there are no tools on the list (don't bother to list things like punches, stamps, metal dies), note that I don't consider coloring media as tools and you should list them
  

Rules:

1. open to any sort of paper project (no digital)
   
2. 1 entry per person
   
3. may combine with one other challenge that allows combining plus the monthly things
   
4. Due March 31
   
5. One winner chosen by the most items on the list will receive a $5 ACOT gift card. In the case of a tie, there are 2 secret tie-breakers at the bottom of the list
   
6. If you have a question, please ask on this thread
   
7. if you text me, Facebook message me, or PM me, asking for hint, I will subtract one point from your score
   

Let me know what you think of this challenge. If people hate it, then I won't do it again.
 

Sounds fun!  It will be interesting to see the list when it’s revealed at the end of March.

ooh i think it sounds fun!!  

This sounds very interesting!

This sounds like carte blanche to throw everything at a layout. Which is pretty much how I operate.

QUESTION:  by "coloring media" what exactly are you referring to?

yes, perfectly clear, thank you 

Sounds fun!  Unfortunately I've been leaning toward more minimalist, but maybe I can come up with one crazy layout, lol.
I love your Rule #7, lol!  Just curious, can I ask how many items are on your secret list without losing a point?

Oh this sounds so cool!  Yes I would love to try it!

oh I like the mystery of this challenge!  I'm in!!

NEAT! THIS sounds like a lot of fun! I have no idea what March will look like for me, but I'm willing to bet that I crave some crafty time!

You can ask anything you want on this thread. But I’m not going to tell you.
