March Scrapbook Layout Title Page

Hi, Crafters!
This year I have been adding some traditional scrapbook pages in the mix with my Project Life pages. I love this idea. It's the best of both worlds in my opinion. I'm a month behind on my scrpabooking. I know, GASP, right? But we did have a lot going on last month with moving. So tonight I sat down and created my March title page, and started to print photos. Hope you like what I came up with!


Would you like to see the finished page with photos?


Cricut cardstock (Cuts so well in my Circut Explore Air, and I love the texture of it.)

Cricut cartridge, Elegant Edges for photo matting
Gate and Fence pieces are from Cricut cartridge, Bloom
March 2017 cut out with Cricut cartridge, Sesame Street Celebrations





Thanks for stopping by today.
I'd love to hear from you in the comments.

Here is a review of the projects I posted to my blog in March.
You can see all of my projects posted so far in 2017 
in the page tab above, 2017 Project Gallery.





Sunny Day Crafting April Challenge - Spring

Before I show you my scrapbook double layout,
I want you to be sure and know this was not my idea.
I made this page after watching the Close To My Heart
video for the Cricut Flower Market Cartridge, Key 29. (See below)
I did change a few things about it.

I forgt to change my post title. I'd change it now, but I've already entered several challenges and then that would cause a broken link... just go with it.
