March is National Craft Month

March is National Craft month according to Spotlight.  I'm all in!  Kellie Winnel is also doing #31minutesfor31days this month and I have decided to join in! Most people have projects planned for the 31 days before it started, but I jumped in at the last minute (or day 1 on March 1st).  So, every day in March, I will need to create/craft for 31 minutes (or more hopefully).  I have a craft event coming up this weekend so that is two days accounted for.  I just need to be consistent for the other 29 days in March - how hard can that be LOL!

Here's how I am going so far:
March 1st - created a military themed hat for a party
March 2nd - Worked on a Heidi Swapp layout from CAD2018
March 3rd - Mini accordion album for the above layout
March 4th - Memory Planner prep for March
March 5th - Memory Planner for Feb (awaiting photos)

I deliberately decided to prepare March in my memory planner yesterday so I could join in with this weeks challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.  This weeks challenge is Anything Goes.  Here's my prepared monthly page:


On this layout I decided to use some Heidi Swapp rose gold foiling flakes I got in my last order from Simon Says Stamp - yes, they ship internationally!  I had not used them before and just winged it.  Unfortunately the Heidi Swapp glue pen I have I a wide tip one so it is bulkier than I would like.  I also coloured some Prima number stickers with a coral alcohol ink pen to match the layout (this month's colour theme in the book is navy and coral so I ran with that)
