ACOT Message Board

I'm not sure there's any color combo that's a go-to for me. I really dig purple, blue and orangey-yellow together for some reason, but there aren't many photos to go with that!

I agree Tim Holtz needs a peachy color. I was surprised the newest one is another blue!

YES, to Tim Holtz needing a peachier color!
I would like to see some Real Blue! Not Aqua, Turquoise, light teal, etc., but not Fireworks Or Snowflakes !! I have looked thru’ my hoard and realized I do not have much of anything in paper, I am thinking anything, Everyday, Family, Home, Camping, Floral(but not saturated or taking up whole page), kids, Birthday, Boys, Girls, old folks(like me) lol
Any ideas?....
just got a P13 Beach, but........ need a change for Just real blue, light to Navy!

I want to play along as much as possible. I'm crunching a big deadline (Monday!) on a manuscript that is just taking FOREVAH!! But I'm checking in for the games and to see what the challenges are and to get ideas. I'm hoping to scrap a little here and there.

I want to play with the new goodies I got from ACOT: Photoplays Operation Save 2nd Base for our breast cancer walkathon photos and Simple Stories  latest school collection and a couple of new things from some quarantine / pandemic lines.

Have fun and get some mojo back!



 

Next question....If a company could design any type of a line..what would you like to see?
I would like to see more imaginative, zoo line...not so cutesy and ..I don't know...just something different. I feel like they all look the same....
This thread with the questions will stay open till I'm out of points so you can answer all four as you like..I'll close the thread when I'm out of points...

Thanks for hosting. I am going to try some scraplifts! And I really really want to see some yellow paper/kits especially for weddings. Yellow roses, yellow backgrounds. I am done with black and pink for wedding scrapbooking.

I'd like to see nature/paradise/beach themed items without it being specific images of the scenery.  I need something to accentuate the scenery pics I took myself...

I would like to have some Disney themed lines that aren't "traditional" colors. I love to scrap Disney (OBVIOUSLY) but I am tired of all the product collections being all the same colors!

I love scrapping with any colors that match my photos and theme!

Well, this is my FIRST NSD @ ACOT and I'm having fun!
My goals for the weekend include some of the NSD challenges here AND I HAVE a lot of scrapbook kits and JUST page kits put together. I started working on page kits last month.
The last week has been a long, sad one. ( Wednesday was my grandmother's funeral.) But THIS weekend I'm going to have fun and laugh and smile and have happy tears. I've got tons AND tons of pictures and I'm ready to just have me time. With chocolate!

I will probably ask for real blue until I am blue in the Face!  oh, I thought this smiley was blue! Darn,
I always Love outdoors / camping / RV  Collections. Would love to see some with a Real Blue and whatever other colors in an Outdoor/ Camping Collection!! Really!!

What is your favorite color to scrapbook with?? 

I tend towards blue and greens primarily because I scrap boy pictures! I think more peachy stuff is a great idea. And yellow!!!

A masculine birthday collection, not all primary colors or for boys, and no old-timey cars or other old-timey images. Simple Stories had one years ago -- done in browns and some darker colors -- so it can be done!

I have noticed that certain things look the same to me, too. From a few specific companies.
NOT that I don't love the company but... I want to see more artistic ans vintage looking designs I guess. Maybe some fun retro flashback icons? Love that stuff. I'm loving bright, rich colors these days; but not neons. I'm not into frilly, ultra- feminine florals; but if it looks like granny's wallpaper? I'm so there!

I really am growing weary of the "themed" kits, in general. Seasons, Boy, Girl, Birthday, Holidays, blah blah blah. I feel like we've seen it a million times!! I really enjoy kits that are NOT themed by subject, but just have similar colors and coordinating patterns, etc. I want more of those "general-use" kits, I guess... but with some fun, new color combos!!
 

I’m watching the 2 cuties on FB RN, but I also plan to scrapbook, haha

I have a 2019 PL style book I want to finish. I have November but we had 3 cool events that month, so lots of pics.

Then catch up time for my grand PL books for this year.

then MAYBE, some scrapping for all those kits I have pics chosen!!!

I would like to see a more modern grandparents collection.
