Got it done! I finished my March challenge layout over the weekend, only to have the storms knock out our internet connection for two days. I finally got back online today, and got my layouts online. M-C, if you want you can pull them from the website for the RCS site, or let me know and I will email them. I was very saddened to hear about Jessie and her boyfriend. I'm glad they are doing somewhat better, and my thoughts and prayers are with them both and their families. I pulled the paypal info from another post, and will be sending a contribution. I do hope they will be better soon. All the March challenge layouts have been so beautifully done, I hesitated to include mine, but I can't think of a better way to learn. Following the sketch was easier than I expected, and I was happy with the result. So much so that I think I'll go dig through my CK magazines to find some more sketches, and see what kind of layouts I can make from them. Using the brads was fun, too, as I have done very little of that. This layout took every single square gold minibrad I own, so it looks like a trip to Michael's is in order. (And Joann's, and Hobby Lobby, and Scrapbook Superstore, and...) I'm looking forward to attempting the April challenge. Now I know what I was saving all those little mint tins for.
