ACOT Message Board

   THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT DECIDED TO PLAY ALONG!  THERE ARE TWO WINNERS THIS MONTH AND THOSE RANDOMLY CHOSEN CHERRIES ARE . . . GayleChurches and blfonty!   



Hello, sweet Cherries!  Welcome to July!

This Challenge works just like Tic Tac Toe!  Pick a row, any row, up, down, sideways, or diagonal! (You must use an entire row -- this is not a pick 3 challenge.)  Then, create your project!  You can submit a layout, journal page, or a card, and it can be paper or digital.  You may enter as many times as you like, and you may combine with any other board Challenges that allow combining.  Please link your creations to this thread indicating which row or column you used.  The deadline for entries will be July 31, 2026 @ Midnight!  A randomly chosen winner will receive a $5 ACOT GC from Flasher! If you use all 9 elements on the board, you will receive a bonus entry!  Let me know if you have any questions!

Here is your July board!

Right vertical column, 2 or more photos, green, at least one circle

Here is my page:



I used a banner - Free Space - 2 photos

Here is one for middle row down: Outdoor theme, free(die cut) any yellow.

Thank you!
Umbrellas of LIfe : Gallery : A Cherry On Top




 

Outdoor theme, free, yellow

Used top row: orange, outdoor theme and 2 photos. Combined with July Mood Board.

Middle: Use a Diecut, Free Space, Any Shade of Green

Everything except Outdoors.... unless I can count the apples on the paper and the ones I die cut as outdoors since they are grown outdoors

Again everything except outdoors... or outdoors if apples are accepted

Middle: Banner, Free Space, Green

Good grief! I always feel like I caught the largest trout in the lake when I get 3 in a row (usually I get mostly 2 of each row then fail). Anyway, I have bows & banners, Free (punched edge), and 2+ photos

For this layout I used the middle row down:  

Outdoor theme (Outside at theme park)
Free space (Mickey head buttons)
Any shade of yellow (scalloped border)

2 photos, green, circles

My 3 in a row: banners; 3 sets of 2 banners/ any shade of yellow; deep golden yellow/ circle; one circular item on each of the pairs of banners and a great bullseye's circle of a typhoon on a photo. I also submitted this for 1/2 IT With a Twist

I used diagonally. 
2 or more photos, free space and banner

I chose the bottom row
Banners, yellow, circle\

My first entry, using the right hand column with 2 or more photos + any shade of green + at least one circle.

Swoosh! Crack! Thud! Whack!

Middle column: outdoors, free, yellow. Combined with June/July Baby/Kid Challenge (Summertime photos).
