I have done this before with posts and custom post types, this will give you an option in the admin to pick and choose what posts to display on the page and what order to display them in. Edit the code as you see fit.

<?php

$posts = get_field('home_projects');

if( $posts ): ?>

    <?php
        $ids = get_field('home_projects', false, false);
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'portfolio',
            'post__in' => $ids,
            'orderby' => 'post__in',
            'posts_per_page' => 6
        );

        $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    ?>

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
        <?php
            $project_size = get_field('project_image_size');
        ?>
        <div class="portfolio-item-container <?php if ($project_size == 'Big') { echo 'item w2'; } else { echo 'item'; } ?>">
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                <div class="portfolio-item">
                    <div class="portfolio-item-image">
                        <?php 
                            $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'portfolio_main_image' );
                            if ($image) : ?>
                                <img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
                            <?php endif; ?>
                    </div>
                    <div class="portfolio-item-heading">
                        <h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
                        <p><?php the_field('project_categories'); ?></p>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </a>
        </div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

If this is not what you are looking for you can use the code on this page to get values from other pages and display them in your theme.

Hope this helps.
