  1. March 17th (Layout #3, Friday):

    Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I think we need a little more madness this week...  Add to your layout at least one of the following:  A shamrock or clover, a pot of gold, a leprechaun, a coin of some sort, or a green flower.

    Now add a bit of sparkle somewhere on your layout!  I know we did this last week too, but I love glitter.  

    I hope everyone has a lucky day today!

  2. Oh boy, do I hear a little grumbling?  :shycouch:

    March 15th (Layout #3, Wednesday):

    Two tasks for today:

    1. Add a page border.  The border does not have to go around the entire page, you can place it just along one side, or two, or three.  You may use a premade border - our designers have made some beautiful ones!  Or, you may create a border yourself; this is why I had you wait to place your embellishments, in case you'd like to use some or all of them in your border.  If you need to find a ribbon or string, etc to use as your border base, that's fine; add whatever you need to your layout in order to create your border.

    2. Arrange your embellishments.  You can duplicate/multiply any of them you'd like and use them more than once (so if you used some in your border, you can use those same embellishments again elsewhere on your page.

  3. March 14th (Layout #3, Tuesday):

    1. Add a fourth paper, but find some way of using it without blending it into your already-blended background.  Some suggestions - you can use it as a matte behind your photo(s), or angle it into one of your page corners, etc.  

    2. Next task, find 7 unique embellishments to use for tomorrow's (Wednesday's) task.  Just throw them onto your page for now.

    I think I'm not being hard enough on you all.  There's not enough madness to my methods!

    I'm using a photo of my paternal grandparents and I used these papers - BMU_FadedRose_Gray_Paper_Gray, BMU_FadedRose-Gray_Paper_LtGray, BMU_FadedRose_Gray_Paper_Text and used ink spills blenders to blend them. I hope it was okay to use the blenders?

    Yes, definitely!  You can blend the papers any way you like - blenders, masks, blending modes, opacity differences...

  5. Awesome job on last week's layouts, everyone!  I'll try to do the drawings for the first two weeks later today (Monday).

    March 13th (Layout #3, Monday):

    Choose any number of photos you'd like to work with this week, but then turn them either black and white, or sepia.  Choose three papers, and find some way of blending them to create a blended background. 

    Woo hoo, off to a good start!  😃

    You made it to the end of layout #2 - awesome job!  Add a little journaling, finishing touches and date, then upload your layout to the Slow Scrap Gallery and come back to this thread to leave a link to your layout.  

    Make sure that if you want to be eligible for the week 2 drawing (for a $5 gift certificate to the SG store), post your layout by midnight Sunday night, March 12th.  Thank you for a fun week!  There will be no task tomorrow (Sunday); we'll start layout #3 on Monday.

    Well, you all handled that last task very well!  I'm pretty sure I even heard a few sighs of relief.  😂  

    Today, create a title using two different fonts.  Then, angle at least one of your photos; doesn't matter what angle, just not straight up and down.  If you've already done this (like I see Jane has - very cute layout so far, btw), then you're done for today!

    Welcome to week 2 of March Madness!  Let's start off by choosing two or more photos to work with this week.  Then, choose 4 papers, two of which must be patterned papers.  

    You don't have to post a thumbnail of your progress throughout the week.  If you would like to, though, it's fun to see how everyone's layouts are shaping up!

  9. Day 4 (March 4th, Saturday):

    Include journaling on your layout,  add finishing touches (date, location, animal name, etc), then upload your first March Madness layout to the Slow Scrap Gallery.  To ensure you're entered into the drawing for our first week, post by Sunday night (March 5th), midnight ET, and come back to this thread and leave a link!

    Not too bad for our first week, right?  There will be no task posted tomorrow (Sunday), so work on the weekend challenge layout.  I'll see you guys back here Monday for a new madcap layout!

    Good morning Mikelle, I was listing the items I was using for this layout when I realized the kit(s) were not purchased from Scrap Girls. I'm so sorry and I will delete paper/photo from this area. I'll start again on Monday.  Stay safe, be well and have a great day!

    @LindaH57  Linda, you don't have to use all SG supplies to be able to post layouts here - it's OK to use some non-SG stuff.  When you list the non-SG supplies, though, just don't include a link to the supplies (no outside links).  Please, keep going with your layout!  😁
