Hoot! Hoot! Hooray for these Beautiful Papers!
Today I want to give you a little introduction to the March collection of the month, Life’s a Hoot!
Whether crafting scrapbook pages, cards, décor, or anything else, the Life’s a Hoot product collection will infuse your projects with playful designs and lovely color combinations! Coordinating papers, stamps, die-cuts, and more take the guesswork out of the creative process!
Let’s start with the building blocks of this collection — the papers! These papers are packed with amazing background designs. In fact, even though this suite of products features adorable owls, this theme does not appear on any of the patterned papers which makes them perfect to use for a wide variety of projects.
You can get these beautiful papers with our without the coordinating sticker sheet. There is also a pack of solid cardstock that will match perfectly. This sticker sheet includes titles, borders, images and other designs with shiny gold foil accents to add extra pizazz to whatever you are making.
If you’d like more patterns, titles and journaling spots, the Picture My Life cards are perfect for adding the theme throughout your projects. I love using them both on my pages, in pockets and on cards!
This pack includes 24 cards — 12 each 4″ x 6″ and 3″ x 4″. The double-sided cards feature unique designs, sentiments, journaling space and icons. Typically one side has the design in landscape and the other in portrait, sometimes in different colors in the collection’s palette.

Now let’s take a look at the stamp sets. There are two in this collection with the first is geared primarily for card makers and the second for scrapbookers.
One of the things I hear from scrapbookers often is that they have trouble finding stamps that with the scale and sentiments appropriate for scrapbooking. Each of our collections includes a stamp set just for memory keeping and there are lots of other scrapbooking stamp set available in our catalog and website.
This particular set is available with or without thin cuts to save you from fussy cutting out those owls! The shapes that have coordinating thin cuts are designated by the grey shading. In addition to the owls, you also get dies to cut out the flowers.
Bonus: both of these stamp sets are included in this month’s Stamptacular celebration. Get them now at the discounted prices!
If you prefer to use your Cricut or other cutting machine, there is also a Digital Collection which includes both individual images and layered projects. Once purchased, you can load these images into Cricut Design Space or other software that uses SVG files.
Finally, this suite of products has a set of lovely embellishments to help you finish your projects in style. This embellshment pack includes assorted acrylic shapes and a 6″ x 6″ sheet of Grape paperboard die-cuts.

Now it’s time for the fun part! Check out the artwork below for inspiration from the amazing Close To My Heart art team.
This collection also includes two workshops. The Scrpbooking Workshop makes the three fun 2-page layouts shown below. The kit includes materials needed to make these projects. You just need your favorite adhesives and cutting tools to finish them. Enhance your layouts with an optional technique of added detailing using the Teal LePen journaling pen.
The Cardmaking Workshop makes 16 cards, 4 of each of the designs below. To create the projects as shown, pull out your watercolor pencils to color these beautiful butterflies. Additional supplies are listed on the website and in the included directions, which also give you lots of tips and tricks.
