March 2011 Artisan Notebook (tm)

Our March 2011 theme is All About Color.  Contributing Editor Debb Cozzi shares features on working with a color wheel, using the color gray as a foundation for your layouts and an article about the color orange.

Our Site Spotlight features Catscrap and its amazing designers from around the world.  The designers have a beautiful and light-hearted kit for you to use in the Scrapped Contest as well as a coordinating kit as a free gift called Orange You Glad?  You’ll love the fun word they chose for the One-Word Photo Contest.  A generous discount coupon is also offered to our readers.

Meet Shen Guthrie aka Creashens and her talented creative team in our Designer Spotlight.  Shen has a beautiful gift for you too!

Our inspirational challenges focus on color, from our title challenge to our journaling challenge to our lyrical challenge and more.  Our Scraplift team picked a super cute layout to lift and our Design Chefs cooked up some fun using our Recipe for Design.  Sandy Mauk brings us a unique idea for a hybrid project.  Our Real Photographers continue their journey of documenting and researching their local history and photographing crumbing and stellar barns.
