The March stamp of the month (SOTM) features some cute animals and clever sayings.  It was fun pairing it with our new Cake Day paper collection!  This festive collection features bright colors and birthday fun!  I hope you enjoy the SOTM Card kit.  Remember, this can be yours with a $75 purchase and the SOTM.  If you are a VIP, you will earn the SOTM FREE!  You can sign up on my website at: https://ldiamond.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/vip.aspx Happy Crafting!

 I made this beautiful shadow box for my niece who just moved into her own house for the first time!  My sister passed away suddenly, over 3 years ago and I wanted her to be a big part of my niece's house.  They both love pinks and roses and I love one of our older paper packs, called Heartstrings.  It worked beautifully for this project.  I hope you like it.

 This is going to be a GREAT month!  CTMH is having their CARDSTOCK CARNIVAL!!! Yay!  It's the best time to stock up on your favorite colors...or all the colors!  I try to take advantage of this whenever possible because you can never have too much cardstock! Also included with the carnival this year is our exclusive Coated Cardstock pack.  This pack comes with 24 sheets of glossy UV-coating on one side so you can make artwork that displays beautifully without fading and discoloring! Find more details here: Cardstock Carnival Also, this month, you have to opportunity to sign up for an AMAZING April Album Retreat!  I signed up for the album retreat in January and learned so much!  The best part, you can participate from home either live or at your leisure!  There are so many techniques and special hints for using your tools that it is totally worth it.  Plus, you will have 11 2-page layouts to either use on their own or add to your scrapbooks.  What a fun way to create and learn!  Y
