I'm a little late to the party with my Month in Numbers this time round. But then, I've always been a bit slower with maths. That's changing thanks to Julie from Notes on Paper and her cunning plan find out all the details here). The others marvel, here, when they see me keeping count - but I'm a complete convert. It's such a neat way to pull the month together!
My numbers for the month -
30 pieces of homemade potato bread. That was 6 bits each, for St Patrick's Day
20 Things: my favourite Scrap365 article
22-6: the score in that Rugby match I was telling you about. A win.
2 new dresses: well, I hadn't bought anything since before Christmas and they were in the sale!
140: the biggest number of the month. The number of entries in The (Not So Small) One's Dance Competition. That's a lot of dancing girls to enjoy. From a bench in a Sports Hall. All day Sunday. But we did get to the end and they were second in their group.
For this page I used another variation on the strips of paper idea - it's a sketch I spotted on the October Afternoon blog - and some Kraft tags I made with the Slice, Vintage Findings card.

I really enjoyed your 20 things article too. Love the stips of paper on this LO
No such thing as 'late' - especially when you make a layout too. [And those strips are great - worth a scraplift I believe!]
I knew all those dancing girls would have to make it in here somewhere! And I can't wait for glimpses of the dresses.
I've pinned you to the board now: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/
Thakns for joining in Sian.

I so enjoyed reading your 20 things article so I can see why that made it into your numbers. I too want to see your dresses and loving yet another variation on your strips idea.
Such a lovely pretty layout. What gorgeous papers you've used. Sounds like a good month :-)
really beautiful LO, Sian. love it.
I love the idea of the background paper strips peeping through those cut out hearts :o)
Your layout always seem so calm and simple, but then I just keep noticing more and more fabulous details. Not simple at all . . . But still calm and soothing. Love the floral paper - just the right amount .

I loved 20 Things, too. Love the sweet colors on the layout.
Looks like March was a pretty successful month! Love the kraft tags against the colours.
Beautiful papers and love the little house embellies!

you're not late.....i am I still haven't put my layout together!
Enjoyed your numbers on your beautiful layout - good to read that you won the rugby match.
I love the crispness of your layout ...ooohhh new dresses :)
Love how you've used the strips.
That was a fair few slices each!!
I keep being tempted by these - they look like such a fun way to put together a monthly review.
I like the home made tags with the slice - very nice.
Love the colours and placement in this!
This is such a fresh and spring-like page, Sian, with the papers behind and those lovely tags in front. Six pieces of potato bread EACH? Oh my word!
Wow that is a lot of little dancing girls!
You may think you're behind with your March numbers, but I'm still working on my photo layout for March. I didn't do as well keeping track of my numbers this month. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I love the design of this layout and the beautiful soft colors. I bought 2 dresses this month, too. Can't remember the last time I bought a dress!
Love the strips you have used, looks so effective. 140 is a lot of dancers to watch! Congrats to your girl for coming 2nd in her group.
Gorgeous layout and so effective even without photographs.
Oh, I love those strips, and tags, and colours and ... well just about everything!
I agree the strips make for a lovely page,not to mention a great way to use up some scraps :) I also love the small punch of black with the lettering and the mix of papers. Where do you get those little clothes pins?
Wish I could have popped over for some homemade potato bread! Great layout - I like the use of the tags.
What a lovely springlike page. I'm loving the cut-out tags too, with the patterned papers showing through.
This is such a lovely Lo Sian, I love reading your month in numbers.
Super cute page - great use of tags. I haven't seen the article yet - but I will!
Love your month in numbers x
& the kraft tags on the strips of paper certainly have a look of spring.
I too am loving this different perspective at looking at life :)
A really, really beautiful layout. I have so missed looking at your eye candy and reading your beautifully told stories.
Thanks so much for stopping by earlier in the week. It's really very much appreciated after such a long time away xxx
I enjoy every single layout you make for your Numbers and this one is no exception!!! Love the design, the colours and the bits of information it gives :)
The colours you've used on this page are beautiful, and I like the bird cut from music paper. And I think 2 new dresses is a well deserved purchase! x
