We'd like to invite you to ACOT's Impromptu New Year's Eve CCC!  Pull up a chair, come chat, crop - no rules or regulations, but hopefully a fun time!  Join us in the Message Board for tons of fun this evening.

Party hats will not be provided (however, you might be required to make one)!

January 1st thru January 3rd: Over a thousand products are on sale between 30% and 70% off their regular retail value!

This is a clearance sale that you don't want to miss.  Hundreds of stickers, papers, embellishments and more have been marked down as we work to make room for the new products that will be coming in over the next few weeks.

Hurry!  Our most popular products will sell out very fast.

Something new, something exciting is coming to ACOT starting this year!  We are happy to introduce the Guest Design Team Member program.  Each month, the DT will select one member from the message board to join us and perform DT functions - reveal at the beginning of the month, posting five layouts exclusive to ACOT for two months, and participating in voting.  We are so excited about this new program, and we hope you are too.  If you are selected, you will receive a letter from Kim via PM about the program and your specific duties and benefits from participating!

So, how do you get picked to be a Guest DT member?  Of course, you have to be a member of the MB at a ACOT and regularly participate on the MB and in the gallery - we want to know you and see your work!  Also, you need to be a member in good standing on the board and have been around for at least three months.  So, without much more, we are proud to announce our first Guest DT member for the month of January:

TRSCRAPPER

My name is Elsie and I am thrilled and honored to have been chosen as the first guest member of the ACOT Design Team! I have been married for eight years. My husband and I have two great kids: Thomas (6) and Rose (3). We live in Southern California. I work part-time as a Spanish and ESL instructor at a community college and spend the rest of my time being mommy. I began scrapping two years ago when my husband innocently asked what I wanted for my birthday that year and I answered, “I think I’d like to try scrapbooking.” The rest, as the old cliché goes, is history. Scrapping went quickly from a simple hobby to a way of life. A day rarely passes that I don’t work on some project and I’m proud to have won a few contests and even been published by Memory Makers magazine since I began scrapping.

My favorite scrapping subjects are my kids and my favorite subjects to scrap are the everyday moments, both good and bad. My husband long ago labeled my style “right brained” and I do show a preference for balanced and linear designs. I love color and while I try to resist the urge to hoard supplies, I find it almost impossible to resist ribbons, alphabets of all types and patterned papers. I’m always looking for the newest products and lines to tempt me and add to my stash. Journaling is an extremely important aspect of my scrapping. For me, without journaling, a scrapbook is nothing more than a very fancy photo album. My inspiration comes from my family, our lives together and (of course) the wonderful and talented scrappers I’ve met online at ACOT.
