Here is the official Project 12 sketch that Becky Fleck created (for April actually, but I used it for my March layout)...
and here's how my layout turned out (click on the image to see it larger)...
I stuck pretty close to Becky Fleck's April sketch for this one. I know it's confusing, cuz I get super excited to use the sketches as soon as they come out, (instead of waiting for the next month), so I will always be a month ahead on the sketches, hence the April sketch for the March layout - LOL. The black and white striped Happy tape, and turquoise ribbon are from my own stash. Writing the journaling for March was a bit of a challenge, because our family had some big health issues to deal with. I don't normally scrapbook about hard stuff; but I want these monthly layouts to be a true reflection of our life, so after consulting with some friends at Studio Calico, I came up with some words that felt right. Thanks Ally and Astrid!After I finished that, I dove right into the calendar layout, and I must say it was fun to do them right together like that. I think I will do that every month. Here's how it turned out (click on the image to see it larger)...
Speaking of Project 12, Denise asked on the February post, if I got two sheets of the (exclusive Studio Calico) Newsprint paper in my kit, since I made a double-page spread with them. I didn't get an extra sheet in my kit, but one of the cool things about Studio Calico, is that with each kit, you have the option of buying an extra set of their exclusive papers as an add-on, which is what I did. I love that option because when those papers are gone, they are gone, and I almost always want more! Thanks for asking Denise!
So, now I'm off to start my next project. I will see you tomorrow with another update! Thanks for visiting and have a super duper Saturday!!!
