Welcome to March scrapbook challenge! While I was creating the layout for this challenge I thought about how to stick with an ongoing challenge like this and actually complete the entire year.
If you’re struggling with this here’s how I do it that you might find helpful. I pick a project to work on throughout the challenge. Last year I made layouts for a mini album that I gifted to my boyfriend for his birthday. Each month I used monthly recipes to make a spread for the album. And this year I’m committed to find the missing pages in my current album and complete those with challenge content of 2021.
Not only I get to scrap alongside with you but I actually get things done this way. I hope it helps you complete some projects as well! Now, onto March challenge.
As usual scroll down to find out the winners of February challenge at the bottom of this post.

Need some new goodies for your page? I’ve discounted a few products for you. Shop select products 50% off throughout March here at my store. You can use your February participant discount code on these items as well.
Let’s start scrapping!
Word of the month
Use the word “bond” to guide you on picking/taking your photo, writing your journaling or use the actual word somewhere on your page as a title, word art, or on an embellishment.
Related words can be used instead of “bond”. For example; connection, connectedness, tie, attachment, relation, etc.
When you share your layout in the galleries/social media, write the word you used for your layout in the description part.
How to participate
Make your layout using the word above. You can interpret the word, use related words to complete your layout. You may use the word to take your photo, write your journaling or actually use it somewhere on your page as a title, a word art or embellishment.
Your layout can be digital, hybrid or pocket page but it must be made using 75% current Sahin Designs products that are offered in the store at the Lilypad or at www.sahindesigns.com/shop.
Once you’ve made your page, post it to your favorite gallery, image sharing website or social media and give me a link below in the comments section. Post your layout link below in comments before March 31st, 2021 23:59 CST.
The winners of March challenge will be announced here on the blog when the new challenge recipe is announced next month.

For the word, I used bind, as in the ties that bind.
thank you for the inspiration. The word Bond led me to think about the bonds that come from of being family, and the bonds formed by going on adventures together. We’ve got both as we adventured as a family right from the very beginning. So I created a page created with a family photo taken on one of our adventures when the children were small.
