LM 387 - National Month of Frozen Food/Nutrition

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "National Month of" and we are doing challenges based on things March is the month of.  March is the National Month of Frozen Food/Nutrition, so we are doing layouts that feature food in the photos, paper or embellishments.

I went to brunch with some co-workers, so these photos are from that.  We went to Sabrina's Cafe in downtown Philadelphia, so that's the title I used.

LM 386 - National Craft Month

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "National Month of" and we are doing challenges based on things March is the month of.  March is the National Craft Month, so we are doing layouts about crafting or craft rooms.

I had some photos of my friends and I at a scrapbook weekend last April.  I bought this "I'd Rather be Crafting" collection from Echo Park and it was PERFECT for these photos!

March Stick it Down

This is our March double page sketch at Stick it Down:

I have to be honest.  This sketch was VERY hard for me.  I am really not a fan of white space in scrapbook layouts.  When I create a layout, I like to use as many of the photos from the day as possible.  Most of the time, I take so many photos that I struggle to limit it.  

I tried making the layout with no photos on the left page.  I hated it.  I tried moving things around.  I even came back to the layout a different day, but I couldn't get the layout to work as sketched.  So I added more photos and I love how it ended up.  

I am still scrapping Christmas photos.  I have tons more.  About half of my scrapbook each year is taken up by Christmas events.  I don't do a separate December Daily.  

These photos are from my annual pollyanna with my sorority sisters.

LM 385 - Music in Our Schools

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is "National Month of" and we are doing challenges based on things March is the month of.  March is the National Month of Music in our schools, so we are doing layouts about music, kids and music or schools.

I don't have children and I didn't have any photos of anything music related.  However, my nephew graduated from 8th grade last spring, so I had these photos from his graduation.
