What will YOU create in March? Easter cards? (It’s early in April this year) Pages for an album? Maybe finish that last vacation album on the hope that we may some day be able to vacation again? some spring decor? Will you be playing along with the March challenges? Maybe finishing off (or making a START) on the 28-4-28 challenges from February? Maybe you will be playing Calvinball over at ScrapHappy? Are you making plans to join the fun of sleepingbooty’s weekend crop? Whatever it is, snap a pic of your creations, and share it here. And don’t forget to share your appreciation for what others create. |

Linda - YAY! You are sharing again! Great colours, as you always choose. And I love that cat paper and don't know what brand it is??? I finished these two in February and will score them for February, but just got around to taking pictures today. Both are based of gramma's challenges to record ourselves in our albums. Admittedly, I would NOT have scrapped these pages without the push! Both are also based on colour palette challenges from @lilacgirl. I ended up putting together scraps and old papers that fit the bill. It feels good to use the stash.  layout you hear with your ear by kirstendrew, on Flickr  layout ocean playground by kirstendrew, on Flickr

I finished up some quick cards for the Cards for Cubs drive using some butterflies I colored for my 100 day project. Keeping it simple, trying to work through a bunch of supplies I’ve had on hand for too long, but I thought these came out pretty well. ETA I might’ve finally used up all of the colorful word paper!! http://instagr.am/p/CL7cVEEJNSh |

azcrafty - LOL boy cards! Awesome colours. AussieMeg - those colours are so different and eye catching! I love the woodgrain background and your splatter. My DD would go to the mall in her owl onesie, probably until she was 13... And my announcement: I finished all the challenges for 28-4-28  This one was the last 2: memorabilia and "firsts". My student card has been sitting on my scrap desk for my entire scrapbook life I think - 20 years - waiting. I sewed it into a plastic pocket which flips over to reveal more journaling underneath plus you can see all the renewal stickers on the back of it. I die cut the letters out of the background paper, and layered them up 4 layers of cardstock to create dimension, but still have the text line up. That took some time   layout first life student by kirstendrew, on Flickr

I wasn't sure how this was going to come together, but I love that all the product on here is over 10 years old, that I got to use some really "themey" type items, and just generally I love how it came out!!!  layout dogs for dinner by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

So this March Sheetload took me a little longer because I wanted to use a variety of birthday stamps that fit the design. Then I decided to use my new Hero Arts Flower Garden Fancy Die. I die cut it twice and cut it apart for the die cut flowers & leaves, then colored it with ink using brush tip Fantastix. I used 4 patterned papers that are ancient (over 10 years old!) from my stash. They make such cheery feminine Birthday cards!

zingermack how did it go with the foam? I have some I want to try with my cricut but haven't gotten around to. It went well. This time I picked a font that is thin and formalish since that works in a light of tighter spaces and themes. The other one I did was thin, but a bit more casual. Here are the letters cut:  Here is my first test stamp from a few of them. I stamped them from a block vs. my TH stamping platform so I couldn't go back and restamp them. But foam carries the ink pretty well - even on a single press.  |

This one started out with absolutely no design in mind. The photos are pretty lousy (taken by DH in low light on his phone. 3 strikes). I pulled out old die cuts that came as perforated pieces in a 12x12 sheet (Scenic Route, Cosmo Cricket) and designed around them, and a scrap strip of cosmo cricket paper that gave me the title. The newest thing on here are the strips of pp at the top and bottom - scraps of Echo Park "Scoot" line from 2014.  layout too much of a good thing by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

Linda , I really like the combo of blue and gold papers. Those are local High School colors here. I can’t see exactly what is going on in the photos, but your grid and title look great.~ That’s a cool new haircut. Is her hair naturally curly? I love the big long banners and the multicolored title.~Those are some cool “old” things in your collector’s layout. Your Smokey kitty is very well named!~ LOL, I love your Fins title cards. Cute.~ Into the Wild looks like some beautiful outdoor photography. Nicely arranged with your title and the flamingo. kitbop , and AussieMeg , @angel97701there is love in the gallery for your beautiful layouts. joblackford , those butterfly cards are beautiful. I love your coloring. Will you share what you used to color them. I love that plaid and the script paper. You choose the best backgrounds. azcrafty , I love your sheetload cards. It is such a great original card using the Sheetload as a jumping off point. Those cute super wrestlers make me chuckle. You know children will love these. ~ I love those toucans. Did you stamp those? They look so great against the leaf paper and the patterned deep greens. Beautiful. jjpeapea , I love your layered animals. Are those made with dies? I need instructions. They are sooo cool. That shamrock garland is very pretty. I’m sure your daughter is thrilled. I love the design on your Sheetload cards. It neat seeing them in all different papers. Such a great way to use up pretty paper. @gingermack, those letters look great. I’m sure you will get a lot of use from them. Are they a foam stamp? I think I caught up with all the pretties made so far this month!
