March Pages

Happy Easter!

It's time for my March round-up of pages, and this month I've concentrated on my Scandinavian Cruise album from last year, which is a mixture of 12x12 pages and pocket pages. I'd done two ports out of six before Christmas so it was far from finished.

20. Bolette
I actually made this one in February, but it was to be my first March DT page for Twilight Crafts, using their Arrows Where Shall We Go? cut-file (with the wording removed). It will be the final page in the album and has a large pocket to hold our cruise log.


Supplies: Cardstock - DCWV, Craft UK, The Craft Place; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Simply the Best, Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Route, Studio Calico South of Market; Letters - Pinkfresh Studio; Puffy Stickers - Pinkfresh Studio; Filmstrip - 49 and Market; Enamel Dots - My Mind's Eye

21. City of Roses and Ruins
This is Visby, on the Swedish island of Gotland, a walled medieval city with the ruins of about a dozen churches which were abandoned after the Reformation.


Supplies: Cardstock - Craft UK, Bazzill; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Out & About, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now, Studio Calico South of the Market; Numbers - Jillibean Soup; Stickers - Pinkfresh Studio; Gloitter Tape - The Works;  Enamel Dots - Pinkfresh Studio, Freckled Fawn, My Mind's Eye

22. Drotten
The first church we visited. (The photos on the other side determined which style of page protector to use.)


Supplies: Cardstock - Bazzill; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Out & About, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Washi Tape - Unknown; Enamel Dots - My Mind's Eye

23. St Lars
Another church - St Lars or St Lawrence. I titled the pages with the Swedish names but used English names in my journalling.


Supplies: Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Letters - Pinkfresh Studio; Label - Tim Holtz; Puffy Stickers - Bella Boulevard, Pinkfresh Studio; Glitter Tape - The Works; Enamel Shapes - Doodlebug

24. St Clemens & St Nicolaus
Two more ruined churches share the next page.


Supplies: Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Letters - Elle's Studio; Enamel Dots - Altenew, Hey Little Magpie

25. St Olaf / Botanical Garden
The last ruined church that I am recording, and a couple of photos of the Botanical Garden that it sits within.


Supplies: Cardstock - The Craft Place; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now, Pinkfresh Studio Simply the Best, Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode; Letters - Pinkfresh Studio; Glitter Tape - The Works; Enamel Dots - Pinkfresh Studio, My Mind's Eye

26. Sankta Maria Domkyrka
A page for Visby's Cathedral.


Supplies: Cardstock - Bazzill; Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Echo Park Capture Life; Washi Tape - Unknown; Enamel Shapes - Obed Marshall, Maggie Holmes, My Mind's Eye, Carta Bella

27. Visby Ringmur
The last page from Visby is our walk round the city wall.


Supplies: Paper - Pinkfresh Studio Tourist Mode, Pinkfresh Studio Brighter Days, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Puffy Stickers - Pinkfresh Studio; Label Stickers - Teresa Collins; Glitter Tape - The Works; Enamel Dots - Pinkfresh Studio

28. This Could be the Last Time
This was my second page of the month for Twilight Crafts, using their Bauble Border cut-file. I used two copies and flipped one design over to make a column of six baubles rather than the three on the original cut-file.


Supplies: Cardstock - DCWV; Paper - Ha-Pi Little Fox Un Conte Nordique; Enamel Dots - Simple Stories, Carta Bella


29. & 30. Freddie Mercury - A World of His Own
A double page from last summer when Sotheby's put on a public exhibition of Freddie Mercury's possessions, before they were auctioned. I used the double page sketch from Stick It Down.


Supplies: Cardstock - The Craft Place, American Crafts; Paper - Heidi Swapp Hello Today, Stampin' Up!; Washi Tape - Unknown; Enamel Dots - Papermania, Eyelet Outlet

Finally, I made a card for Mother's Day, also using the card sketch from Stick It Down.


Disclosure - I receive digital cut-files free of charge from Twilight Crafts as part of my DT role. All other supplies are my own.
