March is the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring, and the Artisan Notebook is here to bring you a touch of both seasons! Whether the layouts be brimming with snowflakes and swelling with flowers, each and every layout will inspire you with unique ways to enhance your own pages. Our theme this month is Brushes & Overlays and our pages are just overflowing with new ideas, fun techniques and striking designs. Our featured designer this month is a true treasure in the digital scrapbooking world, ScrapShana.

We welcome Lisa Carter with her amazing tutorial on how to create your very own brushes in Photoshop. Julie Mead is back with us again with her article about grunging up your photos, it truly is a must read that will get you hopping for Easter! Our Design Chefs have cooked up a fun recipe for a little Hand Jive, and our Color Cuties have gone "down town" with rich brown in their Pigment of Your Imagination layouts. "Just Write" this month is getting in trouble! Play Scraplift Tag with inspiration from a beautiful paper layout by Stacy Cohen. Inspiration Station will certainly not have you brushing over the pages, or will it? Our Hybrid Corner project is beautiful home decor item to show off your layouts, and ChrissyW's sketch is so versatile for any themed layout. Our heritage articles include a lesson on keeping clean and mothering throughout the times. We take a look at the Amazing Digi-Scrap Race in its fifth run! As always, we have our Hot Trend and Happy Ending. Our photography articles include Photo Clinic where Nancy asks, "What inspires you," and Portraits Plus talks about Blending.
