Hello, crafty friends! It's time for another fun month with Craftin' Around the World Facebook challenge group, and trust me—there's plenty to get excited about. Instead of just one sketch, there are two—one for cards and one for scrapbook layouts. Plus, there's a fun new twist: you’ll also have the option to choose between a Tic Tac Toe board or a colour palette moodboard to include in your project. But no pressure. If it’s not your thing, feel free to skip it and just go with the flow of the sketch. The theme is still wide open, so you’re free to create whatever inspires you—how awesome is that?
Whether you’re into card making, scrapbooking, or both, this challenge has something for everyone. It's a great way to stretch your creativity, try out new techniques, and be part of a super supportive crafting community. I can't wait to see how you’ll interpret the March challenge and get crafting with us!
For my design team layout, I couldn’t resist using the scrapbooking—though, I decided to take a little trip back to Christmas, even though it is now March. Sometimes it’s just too hard to let go of the magic of the season, right?
I chose this sketch because it had such a great balance of photo placement and fun embellishments, and I knew it would be perfect for capturing a special Christmas moment with Paige. You see, Paige had the biggest Grinchy moment when she spotted Grinch-themed Krispy Kreme doughnuts at the shop. She was so excited that she begged to buy them, and as soon as we got home, she made sure we paused everything for a few fun photos. You know how it goes—those spontaneous moments that just scream to be scrapbooked.
To make the layout truly capture that Grinchy vibe, I went with a bright green colour scheme, perfectly matched with some Christmas-themed patterned papers to echo the green doughnuts. I didn’t want to waste the adorable Grinch imagery on the doughnut box, so I carefully cut out the images of the Grinch, the decorations, and even the cute little girl, and added them as fun embellishments to my page. Waste not, want not, right? It added such a playful, personal touch to the layout.
The end result is a fun-filled layout that perfectly encapsulates the pure joy Paige had that day—and honestly, it was such a joy to create it. Sometimes, going back to those little holiday moments is just what you need to kick off a new month of scrapbooking.
