March 2026 1-2-3+ Sketch and Layout!

Welcome back for another 1-2-3+ Sketch and Layout! I am so happy to once again be creating these layouts for you each and every month!

Each free 1-2-3+ Sketch uses just one piece of double sided designer paper, two base pages of your choice and is made with three cuts to create a quick two-page layout. Then, if you want to level up your layout, you have the option of following the +Cutting Guide using just one additional piece of paper or cardstock to yield photo mats and other decorative borders and shapes! Both versions are easy and versatile, and you can determine which one you create depending on your time, energy level and stash that you are working with!

I'm continuing to use the Your Own Way collection from Creative Memories for all my 2026 1-2-3+ layouts. For March I debated using Island Waters or Bright White Cardstock for the base pages, but in the end used two pieces of subtly patterned paper from the Your Own Way Tone-on-Tone Paper pack. Grab a beverage and watch as I talk through my thought process of selecting products and assembling this quick layout in the video tutorial below!

I love how this layout came together - the turquoise and plum colors combined beautifully for a fresh take on a March themed layout!
