I didn't get any pages completed in March so my YTD is the same. I'll make my goal 2 for April only because I'm running out of supplies & I don't want to purchase any more while I'm down here.
I did get my 2 page flip layout put together & I'm very happy with it. I added photos & some embellishments to the left page today. I started the right page but my photos are to close up so I'm working on reprinting some of them as a collage then will cut them apart. I'm lucky Walgreen's is right around the corner & their prints are 50% off right now...LOL!
I did zero for march. I’m still good with what I have done this year. I will try for 10 again. Friends are coming over at the end of the month for craft day so I should be able to do something!

Yea, I finished my 2 page interactive layout today!!
I made a few modification to Brie Beaupre's instructions mainly because I made a couple of mistakes that I needed to cover up. I also had to much memorabilia for the pocket so I moved it from the right flip to the back & made it bigger. These layouts are a little time consuming but so fun to make. When I get home, I'll make the page protectors for it...Brie has instructions for that too.
The left page is 1 & 2 & the right page is 3, 4 & 5:
Lou Ann Wow! That grad layout is fantastic!
I can’t image how long it took. I watched a quick video or two after seeing your layouts.
Thank you! It was worth the time. The hardest part for me is making sure the photos & embellishments don't show when the pages are closed. My first layout had partial embellishments show but I couldn't fix it. I was careful with this one. I won't do them a lot but for special occasions where I have a lot of photos.
I am working on my last Ctmh kit, I am so disappointed they are closing. I have spent the week with my mother, and I did not bring much here. Mind you, it is only a few minutes from my house. I worked on whole kit and kaboodle page kits. And I made a few card fronts using some 6x6 pads.
We did get a snow storm. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm. 🤞

Pia, I heard Stampin Up may take over the scrapbook line. Maybe Lela will pop in & have some info.
I wish! My bff and I are opting to take our husbands to Dollywood in June! We can’t swing another trip. Maybe next year. It was so fun. Are you going with your group?

That sounds like fun! Yes, we are going again with a newbie so 6 in all. We'll have fun but most of us aren't impressed with the classes this year. The Paper Loft is actually doing classes I've already taken years ago. At least we'll have uninterrupted time to scrap & craft!
We were not in 100% of the eclipse path, but it was fun wearing our glasses and watching the progression. We were at 95%, it got darker, but not total darkness. It got just dark enough for a neighbor's outdoor sensor controlled lights to turn on.
I am hoping to craft this weekend. I need a bunch of birthday cards for BRAK and need to scrap! I didn't do any pages for March. I did finish putting together all the pieces for the page kits I had on hand. Those are portable and so I worked on those while I was with my mother. Now to add pictures! I think I have one CTMH kit to finish, I did 2 of the 3 layouts in that one. I try to use the scraps to make more layouts too. I found a bunch of SU stickers and have been making basic layouts with those, I will add pictures as I go.

Hi, everyone! Thanks for keeping this thread going. I was at a junk journaling retreat. So fun!
we all took lots of junk to share. So, I got rid of my stuff and brought home new to me stuff! LOL
i haven’t scrapped for awhile. Eek! I have to go check out what you did.
i did reach out to Amy aka Shirley’s Girl.. She says she is fine. She is just in process of selling a house and moving. Will try to get back to crafting after the move and getting craft room back together.
I have some kits done that just need photos so I decided to try & print some since Walgreen's has 50% off prints. I uploaded photos that appeared weren't printed but decided to call home to make sure. Of course, all those photos were either printed or scrapped. I think I'll bag it until I get home. I guess I could clean...LOL!
I decided to give it another try to order photos & put 2 layouts together today! I think I'll try to match up some photos to my kits, order more prints & work on a couple more.
Sharon,
I love the layouts. I did more pages yesterday but worked today. I too added pictures to layouts I made earlier. I will miss the Ctmh kits. Some of my layouts were made from scraps. One was from paper pumpkin pieces. I’ll try to post pictures tomorrow. I have tomorrow and then Wednesday off. It is Patriot’s Day here, signifying the start of the American Revolution.
at some point I need to order more pictures. I’m trying to hold off until I get through what I have. I at least want to make a list of what I haven’t printed.

Here are some of the pages I did Friday and Saturday. I did a total of 11. I should have time today and this week to get some more done. I asked my bff if she wants to come over and craft on my day off this week. We will see, I do have a few cards that I need to make too. I don't know about you all, but when I have scraps I try to make a layout and will add pictures later. Some of these were made with supplies I bought at a thrift store. I have a friend who volunteers there and she called when they had a donation. I bought it all, took what I would use, sorted it all for them and then donated back what I wouldn't use.
No crafting today, I ended up going prom dress shopping with my mother , sister and niece. We had fun and she chose the dress that I picked! Her school has a jr/sr prom. She is a jr and just decided to go last week.

Oh how fun! I had boys so never got a chance to do that. Did you take pics?
Lou Ann,
I have boys too! My sister took a few pictures. My niece needed a dress for a party today too, but the poor kid had a fever and couldn’t go. This is a school vacation week in Massachusetts.
I did get 5 layouts done today. And I have tomorrow off, more craft time for me.

Poor kid! I hope she's better soon.
I chose photos for 2018 to upload to Walgreens since they're 50% off. I just need to see if I need to make or can make any of them into collage photos so I have some smaller size photos. I do have some photos selected that will fit some of my kits so I may be able to scrap later this week. Now all I have to do is upload the photos & edit them to order.
I selected my classes for CKC. Only taking 3. Two are for coloring & shading using pencils & markers. The other is for a beach themed frame by Mud Puddles. A little disappointed in classes this year.
You girls are inspiring me! I just took a trip through our gallery! Maybe I will start scrapping today. I have made almost 30 junk journals for my Bible study group, and a 60 page junk journal for a friend’s birthday, this month. I have been doing a few weekly card challenges but, no scrapping this month!

You have been busy, Sharon! That's a lot of junk journals!
Pia and I are plugging away but we'll be glad for some company!
Wow Sharon you have been busy! I made cards instead of scrapping today. I found an old queen and co shaker card kit that I have had for a bit. It was either use it or pass it on. I decided to use it. I haven’t finished it yet, but I did make 17 cards. I decided I don’t like shaker cards! I also used up a good amount of a 6x6 paper pad too. I still have a few more to go. I am really working to use my stuff and buy less. Slow but steady progress here.

I was able to find photos to fit these kits before I pack to go home! Happy to get 4 more pages done this month!! Looking forward to get pack to my craft room & stash!!
Just looked at my layouts again & I realize I did my title wrong! I wanted it to be "pickin' worms", not "catchin' worms"! To late now...LOL!
I am always seeing something I do wrong on my layouts after the fact! Your title still applies.
i don’t know how many times I do a layout and put the wrong year! Christmas 24, instead of 23! I writ over but it is already in my gallery. Oh, well!
Hi everyone. Decided to drop by and see how everyone is doing. I haven't posted here in a while because life has been busy: homeschooling + BSF leadership + team mom/chauffeur for my DD's softball team + my blog + coordinating Lasting Memories challenge blog + hosting 2 challenges over at Scrapbook.com! I have been scrapping but not as much as in past years. Actually have gotten more done this month (6 LOs so far) than any other month this year. My YTD as of March was 11, and I hope to get ten LOs done this month. Only four left to go, and I have three in the works, so I may make it. I will try to post a couple of layouts and check out what you all are working on. Any VSBN coming up this summer?

Nice to see you on here Cheryl! Looking forward to seeing your work!
Sharon,
I put wrong journaling on a page recently. I thought we went to the beach for my birthday, nope! I had to cover it over.
I've done that before! I even have a photo in a layout that doesn't belong & I don't have another photo to put over it so I just hope no one notices...LOL!
Two layouts I have completed this month. Last month my goal was to finish my oldest son's elementary school album (he's now 22), and this month I am working on my second son's album (he's 19).
