March 2010: Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker

I have a bit more time this month so I am going to try again and see what I can do for this month! The portfolio challenges have been really amazing! Here is my lil spot!
 
My spot! Now to get to work using all these kits I've purchased!

#1 - TOTM - 1 pt Lift a layout by Rubia Padilha, our Treat of the Month for March, and get to know her better in this month's special feature.

25 - As March is the 3rd month of the year, it's the perfect time to learn about the Rule of Thirds. Study up and use the rule to create a layout that follows this simple and effective design technique. (Used NR Traci Reed's Pot of Gold - extra point! 3/13/10)

ruleofthirds1.jpg




28 - In honor of Robert Frost's birthday on March 26, use this portion of his poem "The Road Not Taken" to tell the story of a time in your life when this happened to you...

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

30 - The Napkin Dad is not only a really fun place to poke around, there are a lot of life lessons to be taken from his fun & funky drawings too. Taking a page (or a napkin) from his book, scrap one life lesson you think is especially important.

journal block reads:"If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm. ~Napkin Dad"


32 - Book of Me 2010 - this year SSD is encouraging you to create a Book of Me Album! So often we focus on scrapping everyone else in our lives, but we're challenging you to record more of who YOU are on a regular basis throughout the year too. Pick 3 of the 5 topics below and scrap 3 layouts to earn 5 points:

32a - 10 pictures of me doing different things...

33 - Album in a Tin - This month we want you to create a mini album in an altered tin! Your album can be on any topic you like and you can use a store bought tin with album inside or you can make your own using altoid tins and your own handmade ATC cards or accordion album. (1 Album in an Altered Tin Required) Don't skip this challenge because you're afraid of hybrid - you can do it! Here's some amazing inspiration...
