Update added.

Happy anniversary!

Since I didn't get a whole lot done in May, I was thinking about skipping this time, but I decided to give it a go. 1. A layout with a sunrise or sunset 2. Use ONLY black and white, including photo 3. Use at least one plaid and one stripe pattern paper 4. A layout about smiles 5. Put your title down...

I'm not sure you want to include the double page challenge in the rewind... it was just submitting a sketch for me to pick from for my June challenge.  I've already selected, but it's up to you if you want to accept entries.

How fun!!  I have some NOLA pictures to scrap still!  I assume it's ok to do the simple thing of just using photos from the particular place..

Not me, but I hope it's restocked!  I had an OLD Heidi Swapp one and need a new one!!

Yes!  It was my favorite tool.  Vicki gave me one of HS ones when I posted about it previously, so I'm good for now, but I know I'll be needing more and wanted to stock up.
 

... bought up all the Uniquely Creative edge distressing tools??


Vicki told me about it and I had it saved in my basket (hoping to combine with a bigger shopping trip) but now it's all sold out
Please, please restock these!!

Here's my layout, also an example for the June double page challenge. 
The twine used with the flags has a gold thread wrapped throughout.

Here is my layout I used for my June double page challenge:

1 - premade title diecut (MME 2012!)
3- banner/flag strips
5 - photos
7 - punched circles
 

UPDATE 6/2/24:  I'm very sorry if my instructions were not clear.  I provided a link to the May double page post so you can all check out the inspiration FOR YOUR OWN USE, but I meant for the challenge to consist of the two sketches that I chose.  I will accept Sharman's layout (let me know if you ...

I used Creative Imaginations stickers and my twist is Castle.

My package arrived today with the EP collections. Will have to do a zoo layout soon. Thank you so much!

Does the string have to be solid gold?  I have twine that is white with gold running through it.  Would that count?

I have been on the ACOT message board for years, and between the challenges and gallery, it's always been my go-to place for inspiration.  So I would definitely like to thank all the hostesses over the years for keeping me going.  I started hosting the double page challenge last September, and as I ...

Hope your recovery is smooth and quick!

Sending prayer and positive thoughts

OMG!  Thank you!  My main goal for the short time I had for NSD challenges this year was to do enough layouts to complete this challenge.  I had planned to do it in 5, but when I found myself 2 short of the 25 items, I threw together a 6th layout yesterday.  I guess it paid off!

Ok, winners are picked, but you all are going to have to wait until the reveal to see what the sketches are.

I tend to gravitate toward sketches, and I didn't get to any... so there are 2 double-page ones and 1 single.  Also I wanted to do one of the cut file challenges.  But I also need to make my examples for my monthly double page challenge, and I won't have time to start until Wednesday... so we shall ...

You!
