March Passport...How are you doing?

There are 9 days left in March (honestly, I don't know where this month went. LOL!).

How are you doing on your March Passport challenge LOs?

Do you have any challenges that you are struggling with?
 
I have 6 to go.
My Grandpa passed away on Wednesday and that has kind of made scrapping a bit more challenging (added to the challenges we're having with my oldest son). I'm leaving for CA on Sunday to help my mom.

The one that is challenging me the most is #2 - scrap with a designer outside my comfort zone. I think I've scrapped with kits from every designer here at SSD, and I'm comfortable with them all, so I'm not sure what to do with this one. :)
 
I'm so sorry about your grandpa...but what a blessing to have had him for so many years!

I just finished my 14th layout and down to the last 4... for one, I need a friend to send some pictures, so I hope she hurries up with that! Then I'm down to seasonal, featured designer & wild-card. Featured designer is hard for me because I think toooooo much about the "inspiration" piece. I really can't believe I've done 18+18+14=50(!!!) pages this year. Last year I did 3 besides my weekly PL. (Full disclosure, I'm suuuuuper behind on this year's PL!)
 
I've got 6 left to do, I'm not struggling with them as such because they're all easy but I've got a scrappy block which sucks, I have deleted so many pages the past 2 weeks because they annoy me lol. Tonight once I've ate I'm going to try and finish 2 pages I have saved so fingers crossed for me.
 
I was really inspired this month and breezed through the challenges. I think I was finished by the 15th, which is crazy for me. I think I've only finished blackout once, so I'm pretty proud of myself! I also got 2 GSOs and an almost GSO... which made me feel really on top of my game.

I'm so sorry about your grandpa Tammy.

Maybe for the challenging one, scrap with a kit you don't like. That's what I did. I hate the colors orange and brown together (the Gamer kit)

Only 9 days left in March?? I'm screwed!
I still have 6 to do after I finish the one I'm working on now.
 
This is the first time I've been able to participate, and i'm having a lot of fun with it. I have one more to do to finish the entire passport! It has been helping me to feel more creative. As I have been completely lacking in that department lately, but still have the itch for - if that makes any sense. Haha!
 
I am officially DONE! I still need to post a couple, but all the prompts have been finished!!!

Tammy, for the different designer style one, maybe try scrapping in a style you don't normally scrap? If you don't normally do pocket pages, try one of those? I scrapped a heavily paint splatter layout (I'm really bad with paints). Or look through you stash and see who you don't have many kits from (like maybe only 1 from a certain designer?) And scrap with that kit or purchase a new one from them? Just some ideas!!!

There are still 9 days left in this month....so those of you struggling, if you did 2 layouts a day, you could have a total of 18 more layouts finished!!! You can do it!!!!!

Thank you, Rebecca! He was 104 (2 months, 3 days shy of 105) :)

Wow!! You're doing an awesome job, especially with going back to work! LOL! I think in the description of PL it should have the disclosure "you will always be behind" ;) You can do it!!

Aaaw! I'm sorry, Gemma! It sucks when you don't like the way your LOs are coming out. Hang in there! I'm sure you'll get them where you want them!!

LOL! I saw that your note about not liking the colors of the kit. It made me laugh!
You can do it! Only 6 in 9 days!!

I'm so glad you're participating this month, Janice! And, finishing the whole thing in your first month, that's awesome!!

Congratulations, Dawn! That's fantastic!!
After I posted about struggling with #2, I realized that I haven't scrapped with anything from Simple Pleasure Designs yet, although I've bough a few... maybe I'll do that :)
 
I have two to go and a few more comments to leave in the gallery so I'll be aiming to be done by the end of the weekend. I'm not completely happy with some of my layouts but they will do for the challenges and then I can decide later whether or not to add them to my photo books for printing. The ones I have left are the easy ones, the font and wild card so I'm done with the tricky ones.

That's awesome, Kim!!
LOL! I always tell myself to do the difficult ones first, but then human nature takes over and I do the easy ones :p
 
I'm so close.....I've got 3 left to do!!!! Yay for me! I'm glad I worked a lot last week on my challenges so this wk is totally doable to finish them up.

Season 3 and 4 of 'The 100' on Netflix stole my nights this month (oops!). I think I've completed 5 layouts from March's Passport.
 
I haven't scrapped much this month since my old computer has finally just slowed down too much. Conveniently Dell had a sale, so I ordered a new one and spent a lot of the last few weeks organizing and purging my scrap stash. I'll try again in April.

Absolutely no desire in the month of March to do any scrapping. I think I have created maybe 6-7 and they actually all were for CT duties Hoping my mojo comes back in April.
 
I am SO behind!! I don't know how I'll finish. I think I only have done. I'm going to try though!
 
Yay.....one to go for me and its the wildcard challenge so that means I can scrap anything I want. What a great way to finish this up!

You can do it, Ella!!! Enjoy spring break! Did you go on a trip, or just enjoying relaxing at home?

That's a great one to leave for last! It's kind of a reward to get to scrap anything you would like!

I'm at my mom's in CA helping get ready for my Grandpa's funeral, and clean out his house. I brought my laptop so I can scrap at night. My plan is to finish all 18!! I still have 6 to go

Just wanted to send hugs for you as you help your family in this difficult time. I hope scrapping gets your mind off things and brings joy. It's not easy losing loved ones.

Thank you so much, Rae It was really strange being at my Grandpa's house without him there. I am looking forward to scrapping in the evenings.
