The challenge for March at The Paper Teapot is to use the Tic Tac Toe board to create with. A line up or across or diagonal.  Or if you are like me, you can use all the squares!! On my layout are: circles, stencil, enamel dots, a paper clip, a camera, die cuts, water colour (on the stencil), a tag and blue (on the stencil and the doily). The photo is of me when I was younger, maybe 2 years old.

This month the challenge at Kraft + is to follow the sketch and add fussy cutting onto your layout. I don't often do fussy cutting, it takes time and a bit of skill, and something to cut out! I've had a piece of beautiful 49 and Market paper in my stash for almost a year now.  So pretty but I never knew how to use it.  When I saw this challenge I figured it out. I cut the frame from the middle of the paper and used that over the photo.  I fussy cut the two bits on the sides of the frame and popped them up. I also cut out the rest of the flowers and leaves on the paper to add to the layout. So much cutting but such a pretty layout of a wee cutie with her spiky hair.

The colour challenge for March at White with One is Crispy Lettuce, lots of lovely fresh green colours. I used two cute photos of Chelsea wearing my headband, makes her look much older than 2 years old.  I like the darker green of the wall beside her against the lighter greens I used. I managed to use some scraps of green I have and struggled with a title as many of the green alphas I wanted to use were gone, so a little title is best.
