How we play this game:

Earning Points:

• 1 point for doing any ACOT challenge--if combining challenges, count each as a separate point
  
• 1 point for posting your project to the ACOT gallery
  
• 1 point for participating in the 100 sheets challenge
  
• 1 point for participating in the 30 Items challenge
  
• 1 point for each item used from the Stash List
  
• 1 point for any project not related to an ACOT challenge (i.e. challenges from other groups, home decor, just for fun projects, etc.  if you make multiples, such as cards or bag toppers for a party, count points for each one.  any questions, please ask!)  
  
• The highest total for each project is 26 points including the challenge points.
  

 Rules:

• NO DOUBLE DIPPING!  Each item on the stash list counts for its own point, for a maximum of 15 points total. 
  
• You may substitute ONE item from the stash list, as long as it's a comparable substitute (i.e. gems instead of enamel dots) and you must list what you sub 
  
• Everyone is responsible for keeping track of their own points and reporting them to their captain in a timely fashion at the end of the month.
  
• HAVE FUN!!
  

Any questions, please ask here or in your team's thread or PM Laura (Art Teacher) or I. For those that don't know, I live in Alaska so I’m 4 hours behind east coast time.  I will get back to you, but it may not be super quickly.

OOOOH Just saw Crafter's Choice - how generous!!!!! Thank you for another creative list - I love this challenge because it not only makes me think how to use the same prompts differently but I am using my stash at my quickest pace - which is akin to a water turtle (compared to last year's slower land turtle and sloth). My goal is to pick up the pace to at least a waddling porcupine by the end of the year!
