2024 Layouts of the Week Sign-Ups

[Flasher]

Happy New Year!  We're looking for a few good Cherries!

Often times, depending on challenges and schedules, the gallery is jumping with submissions which sometimes means layouts and projects get bumped before really getting noticed.  Other times, Cherries are often busy and can't make it to the gallery as often as they'd like.  The Layouts of the Week feature will allow us to put some of our Cherries in the spotlight!  The rules are simple -- once you've signed up, find your assigned week.  At the end of that week, preferably on Monday, post your selections for featured projects.  Start your thread in the Layouts of the Week forum.  Choose one item from each of the categories listed in the gallery.  It is usually Traditional, Digital, Cards and Tags, Planners, General Crafts, and sometimes Photos.  Be sure to tell us why you chose the projects for that week.  If there is no action in any particular category, then simply skip that section.  Also, if you are really torn between two great creations, feel free to post an "honorable mention".  Please link your choices so that we can go and leave love on them!  You may choose a specific week, and you may volunteer for more than one week.  Simply let me know!

A few little things . . .

1.  DO NOT POST YOUR SELECTIONS DURING your assigned week.  If you do, submissions made after your post will be overlooked.  Your posted week is for review.

2.  Be sure to only post projects that were submitted to the gallery DURING your assigned week.  This will help eliminate the possibility of overlapping.

3.  We've all been enjoying the LOTW Badges created by Art_Teacher!  But, one final note on those:  As mentioned above, you may have an "Honorable Mention" in addition to your primary chosen project.  That is fine and you may mention however many you want.  But, ONLY THE PRIMARY SELECTION in each category will receive the Badge.  Please, please, even though there are tons of gorgeous projects in the gallery, do your best to choose one primary project in each category.  If it helps to narrow it down, check and see if the person has actual posts here on the message board by clicking on their name under their avatar.  Some people only post projects in the gallery, and they will not see that they have been selected.  

4.  Please remember to link your selections!  This will allow Cherries to go straight to those layouts to leave love, and will also give Laura (Art_Teacher) an instant link to distribute badges!

Here are the weeks for the first half of the year!  You'll notice there are three slots for the week of May 6.  Assuming that we will be celebrating NSD here at ACOT, we will need to really break up that week because of the large number of layouts that will surely get posted that week!
