November Take Two Challenge UPDATED WITH WINNER!!!!!!
AND THE WINNER IS. . . . . .

BRANDY (again???!!!!!!!) - Ms. Blbabe1234 CONGRATS FOR $10 of new supplies from ACOT - the card will be posted shortly!Image
I wanted to make this challenge something in conjunction with our host "ACOT". So while posting a layout I had completed, I saw the part that always stumps me - what category(s) does it fit into and what Technique(s) did I use that are on the list. So I usually just pass them by and post my layout.
I decided that that was not sharing with other members, and so I've been consciously trying to make more time in selecting from those two lists. Since manufacturers are already covered in the challenges, and quite nicely, I might add, I wanted to incorporate the other two. So - if you are with me on this - this is how "Take Two" came about:
Each month I will choose randomly a category, and each month I will choose a techniques by chance as well. You may choose to do either of the two selectred, or if you are really ambitious, use the technique on your layout from the category of the month. If you choose to do one, I will enter your name into the drawing once. If you do both category and technique, I'll put your name in twice. If you win with your name in once - I'll award a $5 ACOT gift certificate. If you did both technique and category, and you win - You will win a $10 gift certificate!! Sound like fun? This is open to any type - digi- hybrid - traditional.

NOVEMBER Challenge:

OK, since I pulled "Children - twins" for the category - I decided that that would be very hard if not impossible for most - I took the liberty of tweaking this week but am being honest that I switched it a tad to "Children - infants"

Technique this month is a lot simpler - BORDERS.

So if you do an infant layout with a border you took two.

Of course you always have the options of doing either/or - an infant layout only, or a layout about anything with a border.

Have FUN!!

I ddn't realize there was a technique called borders. I guess it means along the edges...all edges or one edge? Framed? I have the infant pics!! I should have no excuse for doing this one. Thanks!

Yes, ACOT has under their techniques "borders". Years ago - we'd take a 12 inch by usually about two or three inches wide piec of cardstock, and then put our title on it and decorate the begeeze out of it. Now borders is mostly strips of paper nicely embellished or using a border punch. You are correct - a border can border one side - or all around the page.

Any other questions - I'll be happy to answer any of them!

Hey Nancy - if you want to use the twin part - I have no problem with that instead of the infants! I just did it because I know a lot of people do not have "twins" to scrap. I have two friends - each are twins (not to each other) - but I'd need some of their childhood photos. Both would have been willing to donate - it would have just been a little harder than necessary - trying to keep all this simpler.

Lori, you can create a layout that is featuring an infant. OR....create a layout that uses Borders. OR......Create a layout that is featuring an infant AND borders.

Newbie here so just wanted to clarify. Are you taking about border punching? Like do a page that incorporates punched borders etc?

Back to the challenge topic, I was going through my photos of my 2 year olds birth and early days and realised I still have way too make beautiful photos to scrap of him as a baby so I like this challenge.

Don't feel bad, I've been avoiding the 4x4 Challenges because they confuse me as well, lol!

I love borders so this should be easy! I had an idea for last month's just never got to it.

Re: November Take Two Challenge
Just popped on here for a second to be sure all was ok with the challenge - You guys - in answer to your questions - may do a border ANY way you wish - no rules - I would rather you do a layout that you loved and fit into your books in the end than worry about it fitting into the challenge. In reality? I'd never disqualify anyone that did a page - that's the important thing - that you did a PAGE!!

Fighting a sinus/migraine today - sick to my stomach with it - but wanted to be sure there weren't questions on either challenge!

Nope, I 'm doing a lot better today - just a hint of a headache, but I'm sure that, too, will pass. Now I'm downloading all the challenges - printing them out and putting the on my scrapdesk to attack!!

I am planning on working on the afghan most of the day - but I'll need a scrapbreak, won't I????
