March 2025 - Challenge #1 - Birthday Bash!

 It is time for our first March challenge. We always start off with a reminder of the inspiration kit we are working with.

A Beach Tale

March is my birthday month!  I want you to scrapbook any birthday – but if you've got photos, start with your own!  Include a list on the layout – this could be your guest list, a list of birthday wishes, the menu that day, anything, but include a list.  

Guest Designer Martha says, "I love these beach themed papers and embellies! I couldn't find a birthday and beach picture but love this picture of my son's 15th birthday. I had fun playing with some simple embellishments and "dressing up" my layout."

Hello crafty friends! For Challenge #1 I am documenting all the family members that went on a Spring Break cruise. We were actually celebrating 2 birthdays, my oldest niece turned 20 and the youngest turned 10!

The Spritzed cut files were such a fun element to add. They make the blue ocean in the photo pop!

We had so much fun and made some great memories with such a big group! Hopefully we'll do it again soon!

MF Christine

Hello my scrappy peeps!!  I am documenting my daughter's 20th birthday since we spent time out of town in Houston and Galveston...so the beachy/travel papers seemed to fit perfectly.

My list is basically the things we did for her birthday (or I suppose we could say the vibes since that's the title!)  My color palette is a bit more muted than the inspiration kit, so you'll notice some softer blues and pinks.  My inspiration was more around the travel and beach, rather than the colors this time.  Huge shocker as usually the colors start my curation. 

MF Brandi

I decided to highlight a "birthday buddies" photo taken at my nephew's 2nd birthday party in 2022. We have a crew of four birthdays in just six days in my family (my sister, my son, my nephew & my sister-in-law) - I managed to capture a photo of the 4 of them together and knew it deserved a special spot in my album! The two little guys are actually less than 12 hours apart!

Now, let's see what we have lined up for the rest of this month:
