ACOT Message Board

I don't want to stress myself out with hard goals. I want to scrap some and play some games. Have already done 2 challenges. Basically just enjoy myself!

I want to use my new Studio Calico stamps - probably in a Life Crafted album
I'd like to complete a couple of the gallery layout challenges!
I'd LOVE for my kid's games to be rained out tomorrow LOL

I have very ambitious goals of completing at least 15 challenges, at least 30 layouts throughout the weekend, and stash busting! Mostly my goal is to enjoy the entire iNSD weekend!!  

I don't have any specific goals - just to have fun, get several layouts completed and have a stress free weekend.  So far so good!! 

I have learned from quite a few years here to NOT set goals; at least while the crop is in swing!  I like to chat and play games, while I write challenge info down and gather ideas and items.  Crash Sunday night then get up Monday and work on the challenges.  And I do want to get ALL of them done this year!

My NSD weekend goals are
-participate in as many games possible
-start compiling ideas for all the challenge pages to make during the week.
-don't spill on my keyboard or supplies.
-don't forget to eat and use the bathroom.

What is your favorite collection from here at ACOT right now?  

I want to just have fun, play games, listen to my music, and scrap more than I usually do during an NSD crop.

I just got an order of it and totally agree... it is gorgeous!

I really want to finish as many layouts as possible this weekend, but I’m in the middle of a mental health dump (I have a severe anxiety disorder), and am struggling with insomnia and fatigue!

I want to:
- Do a Halloween page with photos of my niece
- Do the challenge that will be posted at Peartree Cutfiles FB page tomorrow
- create a few cards
- hopefully a total of 6 layouts (1/6 completed)


Can I combine challenges from other places with the ACOT challenges?

I use a lot of blue.  I don't do mixed media, but I hear TH also needs a "better black."
