For my first challenge, I love a Recipe Challenge!
You might have suspected this, from my hint. Regardless, you need to answer the questions here first: Art Teacher's NSD Hint #1 - ACOT Message Board (acherryontop.com) Do not scroll down and look at the rest of this challenge until you answer those questions! You are on your honor here. Okay, your challenge is to create a layout using the items that correspond to your answers to the questions on the thread above. If you have any questions, just ask in a PM!
1. I prefer:
A. Baking - Use 1 photo on your layout.
B. Cooking - Use 2 photos on your layout.
C. Grilling - Use 3 photos on your layout.
D. Putting together food uncooked - Use 4 photos on your layout.
E. Eating out - Use 5 or more photos on your layout (could be a 2-pager, if you want).
2. If I were to choose one of the desserts below to eat, I would prefer:
A. Cherry pie - Use a sketch (from anywhere and post it along with your layout, so we can be inspired, too!)
B. Cherry cobbler - Scraplift another Cherry's layout (from the ACOT gallery, and be sure to give credit and show the other Cherry's layout, too)
C. Black Forest cake (with cherries on top) - Design your own layout (do NOT use a sketch or scraplift)
3. Do you know your current Cherry Rank? What is it? Do you think it will change during NSD weekend?
Here are the ranks and their corresponding "ingredients." If your rank changes during NSD weekend, you can use either choice.
For all of these elements, you should use 3 or more of the required element (point them out to me if they aren't easy to see), but you can use any other embellishments you would like.
A. Cherry Tart - Use solid cardstock as your background
B. Cherry Blossom - Use flowers
C. Cherry Picker - Use buttons
D. Cherry Berry - Use enamel dots or plain brads
E. Sweet Cherry Pie - Use punches to make a border or use lace
F. Cherry Bing - Use bling (gems/sequins) or beads
G. Cherry Bomb - Use circles (at least 2 inches in diameter)
H. Cherry Garcia - Use squares (at least 2 inches)
I. Cherry Cola - Use paints or mists
J. Chocolate Covered Cherry - Use layers
K. Cherry Cropper - Use die cuts
L. Cherry Jubilee - Use glitter, glitter glue, or heat embossing
M. Wild Cherry - Use stripes (at least 3 striped items)
N. Bowl Full of Cherries - Use polka dots (at least 3 items)
O. Chatty Cherry - Use word phrases
P. Cherry Addict - Use stickers (images, not words)
Q. Cherry Delight - Use ribbon, twine, or fibers
R. Cherry Crush - Use rubber stamps
S. Cherry on Top - Use cherry-themed items
T. Pick Your Own Cherry Name - Use an embellishment of your choice
