Earning points:  each item worth 1 point

• Doing any ACOT challenge (if combining challenges, count each challenge as a separate point)
  
• Posting your project to the ACOT gallery
  
• 1 point for each item from the stash list-- you may use these products on every single project you create and the object is to use as many as possible on each project to earn the most points.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT POINTS, PLEASE SHOOT ME A PM; I am much more likely to be able to answer this way!

Everyone is responsible for their own points! Don’t forget to keep track!  At the end of the month your team captain will be compiling all the points so we can determine the winning team for the month.  From past experience, I can confidently say it’s much easier to jot your points down as you earn them rather than going through your gallery later and trying to count them all up. 

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions!  Have fun and may the scrappiest team win!!

yes those are tile alphas.  and you can absolutely make your own!  

anything that is not regular scrapbook paper/cardstock is specialty paper in my book.  foiled, flocked, vellum, swiss dot cardstock, bling cardstock, glitter paper, etc.  does that help?

NICE stash list! Those alpha tile letters, thank you for reminding me to use them.  Anybody remember My Little Shoebox? Like a crazy person, I bought all the colors back in the day, along with the metallic ones from MME
