March Challenge

Here is the March Challenge. We used the Magic Book, page 106. The Magic Book has a basic layout as well as a interactive element for that layout. We all did the interactive part, but we each did it a different way.

Here is the first one.

Kathie Sharp. You can reach her at: kathiesharp.ctmh.com.

The left side up close.

Here is the interactive part.

The right side.

Here is the second one. It is from Gail Vought. And you can reach her at: gail.ctmh.com.

Gail used the new paper pack - Wanderful. She also used some of the Complements from that collection.

The left side up close.

She also used one of the Embossing Folders - Arrow. She embossed it first, then took a sanding block to take away the top layer of the paper to expose the white core. A very fun techinque that can give you some texture.

The interactive part.

The close up of the right side.

Here is mine (Margaret). And you can reach me at this blog.

Up close of the left side.

The interactive part.

Everyone else did four flaps, except for me. I didn't have enough pictures to do all four flaps, but I still wanted to add the interactive part, so I just did two flaps. Again, you can make it your own by just doing what you need for your pictures.

The right side up close.

We have some late entries, so I wanted to update this post.

Here is Aisha Davidson's layout.

The left side up close.

She just added one flap to her layout. Again, just make it your own, by adding what you need. Don't box yourself into doing exactly what the book tells you.

The right side up close.

Here is Theresa Vagnoni's. And you can reach her at theresavagnoni.ctmh.com, if you have questions regarding her beautiful layout.

She also did a little of her own interactive on the right side using Flip Flaps.

And last but not least (and a little late...whoops!) is Jennifer's layout. You can also reach her on this blog or at jenniferspencer.ctmh.com. I made my layout with the NEW Blossom paper pack that will be available for purchase on April 1st! I LOVE the spring, fresh feel. Here are the layouts side by side:

And here is a close up of the left side. I did make my top photos interactive, but forgot to photograph that part! Whoops again! I used the Complements, new Oceanside Sequins (so much fun!) and Gold Shimmmer trim for a little bling. I also used the new Carnival Washi tape. I love all of the new products in the Seasonal Expressions going live on April 1st. I think I bought just about one of everything!

This is the left layout. I used Lagoon and Glacier photo mats, as well as some of our Kraft Cardstock for a fun twist!

Here is a closer look of my interactive piece. You can see the new washi a little better, too!

And here is a close up of the cluster I made with Blossom complements and the Coarl Reef sequins.

The banner is also made of Blossom Complements and sequins. Here I used both Coral Reef and Oceanside. And don't you just love the new Glacier Extra Thick Twine!

Hope you enjoyed this months challenge and a sneak peak of the new items coming available April 1st in the Seasonal Expressions!

The challenge for next month, we will be using the book Imagine, page 63. Come back and see all the wonderful layouts using this sketch.
