My Life… March

Posted on by

March brings with it a feeling of springtime. Bright colors, lush greenery, and a sense of cheer that winter is ending seem to appear as soon as March rolls around. My Life… March brings the happiness of springtime to your scrapbooking pages. This adorable kit packs quite the punch, whether you’re telling everyday stories or celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Bold yet airy papers add a punch of pattern to your layouts, while adorable doodled elements steal center stage. A cheerful leprechaun, shamrocks, and a rainbow with a pot of gold tip their hats to the biggest celebration of the month. But those of you documenting the day-to-day have a lot to celebrate too: this kit is packed with journaling cards, banners, word strips, and accent elements for those little slices of life. Everything is brightly colored and ready to go, including the layered card templates and two fun alphas. If you need help getting started, My Life… March comes with a calendar and a quick page to help you get started on telling your stories. Celebrate the best parts of springtime’s arrival with My Life… March.

This kit is on sale at both Scraps N Pieces and My Memories.

I have two layouts I’ve made so far with My Life… March. The first is for my P52 project, week 9. This year is already flying by.

The second is from our recent Home Depot kids workshop. Journaling reads: Home Depot puts on great kids building workshops the first Saturday of every month that are free. This month Jessica and Janette built rain gauges. The wooden birdhouse structure has a screw that a plastic rain gauge sets on (not seen in the pictures). The painting is both Jessica and Janette’s favorite part of the workshops.
