Welcome to the "One Month At A Time" Challenge!

Every month we'll be working on scrapping photos from that particular month and every week we'll post a new series of challenges to use on your montly photos.

And now it's MARCH! Our fifth month of this challenge! It's the time of the year to bust out greens and shamrocks and some springtime creativity!

This month, we're working with photos you've taken in March ONLY, it can be from any year, last year, this year, ten years ago - whatever! The pics just has to be from March.

Each week I'll post 4 things you need to include in your layout. Then we'll take the week to post our layouts (with our awesome March photos) and share some love and some work together!

You can post any week's LO at any point, just make sure you tell me which week your layout is for.

Sign-ups will be open all month, you can join at any time!

At the end, we'll do a vote for our favourite layout from the challenge and I'll send you a little something!

Any questions, just ask!

This is where you can view the weekly challenges. The pages must be completed with MARCH pictures, but they can be from anytime during the month. The only reason we're separating the weeks here is to see the challenges I give out for the layouts to have :).

The new challenges will always be posted by Sunday nights or Monday mornings at the latest!
