Usually, March Madness pertains to Basketball. For us scrappers, though, March Madness is our challenge against ourselves to get more pages completed. It doesn't matter if you are a digital scrap-booker, or if you are a fan of paper and stickers, or somewhere in between, all are welcome here!
The daily challenge might have been a bit overwhelming, so this time around it will be weekly. It is a challenge against yourself (until week 3, anyway!)to get more pages done, so here is how it will work:
Week 1: Goal: get 4 layouts done
Week 2: Did you achieve the week 1 goal? If so, this week's goal is 10 pages. If not, this week's goal is double what you accomplished in week 1.
Week 3: Pair yourself up with a buddy scrapper. Do not tell each other what your goal is. Who completed the most pages at the end of the week?
Week 4: This week is more about applying new techniques. Stretch yourself creatively. Get yourself a real life, hold it in your hands, scrap-booking MAGAZINE and apply at least THREE new ideas that you find to whatever you work on this week.
FINALS: You've scrapped it, now what??? If you're a digi-scrapper, get those pages PRINTED. If you go old-school, make sure your pages are totally complete, with embellishments and JOURNALING and get them in the appropriate albums!
To help keep each other inspired, we will continue to use the #love2scrap hashtag! If you're a blogger, feel free to come back and comment below with links to your March Madness posts!

Great ideas here to "get things done" in the scrapping dept. (-: Thanks.
Partnering with my bestie for week 3!
I am totally craft-challenged so I admire those like you who are so committed and talented :)
Ado: You're welcome! I hope you stop by and join us!
Jen: Yahooo!
Alison: Check out my tutorial for using Microsoft Word for digi-scrapping! Easy, Peasy, especially with Quick Pages! MOST Of my March Madness pages will be done using Quick Pages!
I really want to be a scrapbooker but always start projects and three pages in get overwhelmed & stick it on the shelf. This is a very nice inspiration! Maybe I'll revisit those scrapbooks!
I'm the laziest person in the world. I wish I could get inspired to scrapbook. It looks like so much fun! Good for you for taking up a challenge!
This is a great idea - I am so behind on albums and scrapbooks that I'm just now starting my wedding album from eight years ago. Maybe I'll give this a shot and it will help me get it done?!?
Kvetchmom: I hope you do! It will be so nice years later to have the pics organized and journaled!
Katie & Susan: We would love to have you come along! I have lots of inspiration from the February challenge. Also, there are many many Quick Pages that are very cheap, and even FREE! I LOVE quick pages!
Oh you! What am I gonna do with you crazy scrappin' friends of mine? I feel so inadequate.
I love the idea of March Madness for something other than basketball. Maybe we should have one for blogging too. Nah. I am tired just thinking of that. Maybe something else. . .
