a. March #25 - As March is the 3rd month of the year, it's the perfect time to learn about the Rule of Thirds. Study up and use the rule to create a layout that follows this simple and effective design technique.

b. April #10 - Use the AMAZING color inspiration at House of Turquoise to create a layout that celebrates this gorgeous springy color! Don't miss checking out the links to various rooms to see the color in action throughout various areas of the house too!

c. March #7 - Create a layout that features journaling using Text on a Path or fake it by running your journaling around the edges of your photo or page by turning single lines of text in 90 degree angles. (mine uses text on a path for writing inside the circle)


33 - April Showers bring May FLOWERS! There are so many amazing ways to make hybrid flowers, and this month we're challenging you to make your own flowers using printed papers to create a gift that's perfect for Mother's Day or a dimensional hybrid layout that you'll treasure. Don't skip this challenge because you're afraid of hybrid - you can do it! Here's some amazing inspiration... (10 points)
