#18 - M IS FOR...MARCH
This is like when we play the alphabet game and we list things that relate to scrapbooking that start with a specific letter.
One point for every "M" you can find on your layout: theme (like a layout about Mom, or a layout about "me") technique (such as mixed media, or monochromatic, make a Mini-album, or use markers), item (could be metal, mini-market alphabets, mist), manufacturer (Maggie Holmes, MSE, MMBI, Mama Elephant, Making Memories), or title word that starts with "M".
#19 - Clusters are the new black - make a cluster of at least 5 items. 1 point/cluster.
#20 - Thread - use thread, whether it be stitching or nests of thread!
#21 - In honor of SPRING - with some of the Northern Hemisphere hoping to emerge from the depths of winter, let's celebrate the Vernal Equinox. Use: FLOWERS; BUTTERFLIES; BIRDS; PASTEL/SPRING COLOURS; GREEN; or the theme of SPRING or NEW in your layout/card. One point per item on the list.
#22 - In honor of AUTUMN - Since the other half of the of the world will be heading into their Autumn seasons, lets celebrate Autumn too: Use LEAVES or TREES; FALL COLOURS; A BROWN/KRAFT BACKGROUND; FRUITS or VEGGIES; HOUSES; or the general theme of AUTUMN (such as "back to school", or "harvest" would count) in your layout/card. One point per item on the list.
#23 - Title Time - one point for using more than 1 letter style/font in your title, 1 point per font beyond your first.
#24 - Punches and manual/electronic die cuts - 1 point for each different punch or die you use on a layout/card.

I would think we could earn points for scrapping ANYTHING about voting in ANY election, or even about democracy in general! |

41. March can still be chilly for us northerners and maybe getting chilly for southerners. This challenge is to stay frozen in March and only buy basic supplies needed for a project—like adhesive, black Cardstock, photoprints, etc..
If you already subscribe to a kit, that doesn’t count. New subscriptions or new purchases do.
Every day you “stay frozen” is 5 points. That could add up to 155 points for a truly frozen month.
