I am also loving this warmer weather, and the long days full of sunshine! I know the warmer weather is more intermittent where we live, but I'll take it! Thank goodness Spring is finally here! Have you started your Spring cleaning? Have you had a chance to be outside to enjoy the weather? Well I hope so! It's refreshing to be able to be out-and-about again!
Well with the end of March here, I would like to do another monthly recap of my favorite CTMH products that I used this month! Here are my top 5 product picks for March and why I chose them:
5.) "Feathers" stamp set!
- This super cute stamp set caught my eye when I thumbed through the new Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book, but I did not have it in my hands to play with until close to the beginning of March! I have not been able to stop playing with it this month, though! The images are so cute and really add a lot of texture and simple embellishment to any project! I love layering the different stamped feathers together to create clusters! It's so fun and only $13.95 for the whole set! Check it out on page 57 of the Idea Book!

4.) Picture My Life: Skylark Scrapbooking Program!
- I love the Skylark paper pack and Workshop-on-the-go Kit, so I absolutely had to have the PML: Skylark Scrapbooking Kit! The colors, patterns, beautiful phrases and quotes, and of course the coordinating Skylark theme is perfect for adding quick pages, journaling cards, and accents to my traditional scrapbooks! This kit is so versatile! I have used it for family, baby, masculine pages, travel, and just everyday memories! I love it, and cannot wait to use more of the 122 cards that came in the kit!

They were inspired by the latest "Pajama Party" project featured on Big Picture Classes! |
3.) "True to Life" stamp set!
- This super cute stamp set caught my eye on the cover of the new Idea Book! I love all these versatile images, and have used them often on my recent projects (like the Binder project posted under the "Feathers" stamp set)! I have a thing for tags and tabs, so this was the perfect set to add to my collection! I also love stamping the smaller images, like the "Way Cute" image, on a separate piece of cardstock or matching die-cut to use as an embellishment on my layout, card, or even on my PML pictures! It's so fun to add just a little element of detail to your projects!
2.) Lollydoodle paper pack!
- I loved using the Lollydoodle paper pack as March's paper pack-of-the-month! Its bright, cheery, and colorful patterns were perfect to start thinking Spring! I especially loved how the papers came together on the LOTM for March! Working with bold patterns and bright colors can sometimes be challenging, but if you use the papers on a smaller scale or as detail pieces, you can make a statement with the colors without it overpowering your project! You really should get your hands on this cute set! It will have you thinking happy, Spring thoughts in no time!

1.) Studio J Photo Express Collections!
- My #1 choice for March are the Studio J Photo Express Collections! I loved playing with these this month! One, because it made printing my photos in different sizes super easy, and two, because it was a really great deal this month at only $5 for a 2 page spread of photos! I was able to print 72 of the 2x2 sized photos from my phone for only $5! That's less than 7 cents a photo! Plus, the printing process that Studio J uses is archival safe by using a high-quality silver halide processing system! The colors are beautiful on my photos no matter what camera I am using! I simply love it! Plus, I love that Studio J is a FREE program that any one can use and play with! If you haven't already, you need to check out these Studio J Photo Express Collections, and get this special pricing while you still can!
