Random Number Generator chose #32 - congratulations to njr007/Norma

Welcome to April 2024!

Tam/Aztam submitted the idea to use the month as a Manufacturer. And since it's April, we will be choosing a manufacturer starting with the Letter A. You must list the manufacturer you used. For the TWIST, you must use an item that starts with the name of the manufacturer you decide to use. Use your imagination - it could be an embellishment, technique, color, title, etc.  

NOTE:  If you have an alpha you would like me to use for a future challenge, please let me know

Please list the manufacturer and what you are using for your twist.  We should be able to clearly see the product(s) that you do use for this challenge! I will pick a random winner to receive a $5 ACOT gift certificate.

Must be a new layout/card or altered project.
Limit to five entries.
Must post to the gallery by 4/30/2024 at midnight and also post to this thread. You may combine with one other February monthly challenge if allowed by that challenge. 

For my sample I used American Crafts (Vicki Boutin) and my twist was my title "American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz.  

I also used the April 1st Sketch from Sketch N Scrap.  (Come join us! You don't need to have a blog to participate.  You can link up your creation using the ACOT gallery. Or you can join our group on Facebook).

Love your LO and that song!! Lenny's version is great but the original from the Guess Who is my favorite.   Great idea for the mfg. challenge.

I'm singing along with Vicki! LOL!
Great letter for us this month!

Great layout, great sketch, and I am singing along with you ladies!  

I really like your layout, Chris! Neat challenge!

Good one. And I like your sketch I may use it. And I’m singing along too!

I’ll play along with this challenge, let’s see what I can come up with.

American Crafts (Dotted paper used as the mat) and Arrows. Combined with the Graphic Design challenge.

Im confused. Does your twist item have to start with A or with the name of the line. Example, if you use Authentique, must your twist start with Authentique or could it be an Apple?

American Crafts-Maggie Holmes paper is the black/white striped paper. And Animals...on cut apart card. Combined with the Grab 5 challenge.

My LO
American Crafts (papers and stickers) and Arrows.

American Crafts Dear Lizzy project pad
angled cuts on patterned paper

first from me, using Authentique.  combined with make-the-cut challenge.  ETA:  my twist is acrylic snowflakes--sorry i always forget this part! 

I used American Crafts embellishments and "Adventure with Me" journal tab

Sorry, I just saw this. Your twist does NOT need to start with the manufacturer of your choice. So if you use Athentique you could use an apple as your twist. 

I used American Crafts and an ampersand, I wasn't sure if that would count so I added an arrow as well. 

I used a 2006 patterned paper with the Birthday words from "American Traditional Designs" and the word "Awesome". Combined with the Music challenge.

another from me:  American Crafts (Paige Evans) and my twist is camera or cardstock stickers.  combined with cherry lift.

I used American Craft cardstock (Amy Tangerine's) and Alphabet letters and air pendant. 

Here's one. I used...
Asuka Studio Weathered Wood & Crystals line and Alphas.
