Here is a closer look at the kit:

The Guild kit is an exclusive benefit of Guild membership. In addition to the kit members also receive the monthly online magazine The Artisan Notebook:

This month at the Artisan Notebook we showcase hybrid project tutorials for the first time and begin a new feature, the Hybrid Corner. There are 13 hybrid projects in this issue, four advanced, five intermediate and four beginner. In addition, we feature several FREE GIFTS this month: a postcard tutorial and coordinating gift from Julie Mead, a Ready Made (tm) Card Set by Amy Eileen Head, A Ready Made (tm) CD Album by Dee Bee Designs and Sarah Meyer provides a free gift for the tutorial by Stacy Carlson.

Theresa Hernandez is our spotlight designer and unveils her amazing Pop-Up Book template and we show two versions of it, one all digital and one hybrid. Three creative team members from The Hybrid Chick are featured.

Our new feature this month is Just Write and four layout artists show us their version of Growing Up, Up and Away. Their beautiful title work and journaling will inspire you to Just Write.

Our Learn by Lifting article features paper greeting cards that have been scraplifted digitally with design tips and techniques.

As usual, we have our Hot Trend, Photo Clinic, Lifelines, Project 365, Stretch a Sketch with ChrissyW, Mixed Media Motivation (the inspiration this month is from the television show “Samantha Who”) and Happy Ending.

It’s our largest issue ever with 73 pages!

March Guild Kit: Remember This

Scrapbooking was born of the desire to preserve special memories. As the artistic skill of today's scrappers grows the idea of preserving memories can sometimes be pushed aside for the sheer joy of creating something wonderful to look at. With this month's kit the Guild wants to encourage people to get back to their 'scrapping roots' by creating a kit designed specifically to be used as part of a "memory book." The set includes 12 softly textured backgrounds that are versatile enough to be used with a variety of memories. The coordinating element set includes more than 40 charms, feathers, journal mats, flowers and a variety of other decorative elements. In addition to a stone alpha we have created a full set of memory book titles that can be used as word art as well as journal prompts to help record your special memories. Finally to give you a jump-start on your memory book the kit includes four layered templates and four Ready Made (tm) pages. This kit is sure to inspire layouts that will have your family and friends saying, "oh yes, we REMEMBER THIS!"

The Guild kit is an exclusive benefit of Guild Membership. If you are not yet a member, we invite you to join today! Guild Membership entitles members to the monthly Guild kit along with a monthly issue of the Artisan Notebook. Membership information can be found HERE.

February Guild Kit is Sweet & Sentimental

February is the month of love as we celebrate Valentine's Day and take time to tell the special people in our lives how much they mean to us. To help create layouts that express that love we have come up with a very special kit; hand-made papers with bits of glitter and hearts, hand-crafted paper love birds, a bit of grungy word-art and even a sweet pair of rag dolls are the elements that will help you create layouts that are "Sweet and Sentimental" and filled with expressions of love.

The Guild kit is an exclusive benefit of Guild Membership. If you are not yet a member, we invite you to join today! Guild Membership entitles members to the monthly Guild kit along with a monthly issue of the Artisan Notebook. Membership information can be found HERE.
