Hi, I’m Kim and I found the site almost 2 years ago when I ordered a couple collections. I just discovered the message board while looking for inspiration. I’m up to learning anything…might take me a bit but I can usually catch on, ha! All paper layouts. I’m currently working on camping pictures..but I tend to bounce around. I do have my own scrap room. I’ve never been to a crop but I am looking forward to NSB…is that considered a crop? Creeps - Bugs. Can’t do bugs. I’m an early bird but not by choice. I have to get up early for work…and now my dogs are used to waking up early and think breakfast is at 5:00am 7 days a week. I love wine Looking forward to learning new tips and tricks!

Glad you stumbled upon the message board and hope you enjoy our NSD festivities!

I had to laugh at your doggie breakfast comment....I've got 3 dogs myself (2 are Pyradors - great pyranese/lab mixes) and they too think breakfast is at 5:30 every day! They sure don't understand sleeping in when there is food involved!

Welcome to the ACOT family!  So glad to see more art journal creators!  I got into art journaling a few years ago but admit I haven't touched it in about a year.  But Vicki Papaioannau is my favorite - her videos are what got me into it in the first place.

I look forward to seeing some of your work.

Hello all, 
My name is Mariana, I am a long time scrapbooker from Brazil who had put aside all scrap related material aside and is now trying to get her groove back!

How did you find ACOT?? 
I came accross ACOT through a combination of Google search and facebook posts.

I am opened to anything new

I usually go for solo photos, but have been known to put 2 or 3 in an LO... 

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
Paper... totally addicted to paper and glue!

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I just completed a page that combined 3 November challenges... "Drop Dead Gorgeous"
But I am also working on a few mini books and folios for friends.

Do you have your own scrap room?
Nope... space restrictions have placed me in an improvised table on the corner of my living room...lol

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? 
Yes, here in Brazil I have gone to many crops, although it has been a long time and I am yearning for new crops!

[FoxyStamping]

I did become a member a couple of years ago but only recently begun to do the challenges, in fact during NSD this year.
So, I consider myself new.

Before I do the questionnaire, I have a question: During the week of NSD, one of my layouts  was picked as layout of the week.  I thought the little badge would appear in my signature, but it never did.  Do I need to do something?


How did you find ACOT?? 
I was invited by a friend, J’aire.

What technique would you like to learn?
I have learned so many techniques, and I can’t think of one that I need to learn.
My favorites are with stencils.

Are you into digital or paper layouts?
paper layouts, because I have so much paper I doubt if I ever use it by the time I leave this earth.  LOL

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)?
I am working on a heritage album for my sister.  The amount of photos I have from our parents, and grandparents is overwhelming!

Do you have your own scrap room?
yes, designed by my husband, and yes I am spoiled.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? 
yes, both virtual and in real life.  Virtually since the pandemic, but before went to many 4 day weekend retreats.

What gives you the creeps?
bugs.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird?
I always was a night owl before retirement, had to be to craft in middle of night, since I worked daytime hours.
Since retirement, I am an early bird.

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage?
Hot tea all day long.  

How many photos do you usually place on a layout?
3or 4.  I recently have been doing single photo layouts.

I enjoy this site, because it has so many challenges and inspiration.  I would appreciate any tips on how to keep challenges all in one place.  I know there is a the place that says all of them, like June Master list under challenges, under message board, but sometimes after I do the challenge, I can’t find it again. LOL. 
Little by little I am finding my way around.
everyone is helpful and friendly, too.
thanks.

Hi, Sharon!  I am in charge of sending out the badges for LOTW, but I’m a teacher and May is a bad month!  I will be sending this to you, soon and you have to actually copy/paste it into your signature line. . So glad you are here!
 

[FoxyStamping]

Thank you, Laura!  I was just wondering.  

[FoxyStamping]

Testing.it didn’t work.  Trying to put my badge in.  
thank you for sending.

Thank you Laura for all your help.  ACOT is  a great site!

How did you find ACOT??
I'm not sure, now, I've been a member/had a login for several years, but not really managed to hang out yet.

Yes, both, love them!

What gives you the creeps?
House centipedes ::shudder::

Well hello and welcome to the MB! I want to learn how to watercolor too. To be fair, I never really put forth the effort to learn lol Looking forward to hanging out with you!
 

[Jessica Michaels]

Hopefully I'm doing this right. First time poster, here! I'm new to the DT so I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time here!

How did you find ACOT?? What technique would you like to learn? I have been a long-time customer with ACOT and absolutely love it here. The pre-order reels me right in! I would like to learn more mini album techniques!

How many photos do you usually place on a layout? Usually 1-2 but I'm known to throw in more for a challenge!

Are you into digital or paper layouts? Paper- 12x12 and mini albums

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? I just finished up a school layout of my son!

Do you have your own scrap room? Yes, I am lucky to have a large craft room that used to be my hair salon and is now my craft room/playroom for my three kiddos.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life?  Yes- so much fun! I haven't been to an in-person crop for awhile though and I'm missing my scrappy friends!

What gives you the creeps? Stink Bugs and Ticks. I legit cannot sleep if I know there's a stink bug in the house and ticks are just nasty little things.

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Night Owl- I do my absolute best creative thinking after midnight!

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? Cherry Coke made with grenadine and real cherries on top!

Hi Jessica!  Welcome to the ACOT message board.  Congratulations on your DT position! Excited to see your projects.

[CraftyDoer]

 

Hello Jessica Michaels! I'm Jessica Mikels... (sorry, I just couldn't resist lol). Welcome to the MB and congrats on being selected for the ACOT DT! I'm sure I don't speak for myself when I say that we are all excited to craft along with a new Cherry Friend!

I used to be a night owl too, but then I had a kindergartener who can't drive herself to school apparently. Mornings are super busy now but also filled with one less child to attend to. This means more time for my scrappy life during the day! I look forward to seeing all your projects. Welcome to this awesome crafty community
