This sweet, delicate kit celebrates the early arrival of spring. It is sure to work well with a variety of spring, Easter, garden and other similarly themed layouts. The kit includes 10 12×12 .jpeg backgrounds in soft greens, bules and pinks. There are more than 50 spring-themed elements, a matching alpha and a set of stacked backgrounds with coordinating frames.

This month’s issue focuses on the idea of using our scrapbook layouts to express our feelings of “Gratitude and Blessings.” Every article and challenge focuses on this theme and our creative teams shine in the challenges: title, color, journaling, scraplift, lyrical and recipe.

Maya de Groot is our spotlight designer; get to know her and her creative team, plus download a lovely template that she designed as a gift to our readers.

Editor Stacey Jewell Stahl has included a primer on creating a journal-rich layout inspired by the idea of a “30 Days of Thanks” calendar.

Heather K has created a wonderful hybrid project with step-by-step instructions. Amy Martin hosts our Monthly Template Inspiration and shares a link for a free template. Tiffany Landry’s “Girl + Story” article features some very creative ideas about making a “list layout.” Susan Reynolds takes us on a heritage journey that involves the touching story of two little orphaned boys.

Dee Bee Designs has created a darling spring-themed cluster set using the elements from the March Guild kit and a beautiful mini kit that are FREE gifts with the purchase of this issue.

As always we have our Hot Trend, Inspiration Station full of layouts expressing gratitude and our Happy Ending.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the articles in this issue:
