I will give this a go.
I take it that doesn't include cardstock and patterned paper?
And is it the item name or brand that has to start with the letter A or can it be either? _________________ Cheers

Got you all down so far , now I think perhaps some more details in the instructions might help ... now what to put. This one was Ebony's baby, but we can add a couple of further details. _________________

I have added this to the main instructions .
Now to help with the thought process, what I can come up with (feel free to add to this if you can, to help others) is:
Angels, Applique, Aqua (colour), Alphabets, Acrylic Paint (yeah its an A), Arrows, Anchor, Adhesive (of course), Antique, A4 paper, Aluminium, Acrylic Stamps (another one stretching a little, but I think its fine ), Airoplane , Apple .
Does that help . _________________

Okay so all the accents must begin with the letter A!! whew at first I was thinking cardstock and paper don't begin with A what would you use, and then I reread it and its just the accents
Will give this some thought  _________________ <---------- I'm Feeling Purple

I almost did my layout tonight with the airshow pics, for this. But I decided instead to use the sketch for this week and stopped trying to wrack my brain so hard for A's!
I'm going to have to start an 'A' bucket... every time I come across an 'A' embellie, I'm going to drop it in, and see what I come up with after a couple weeks. _________________ Di
