The Earlybird Effect Video Tutorial

March 2014 Premier Top Pick
Our March 2014 Premier gallery was filled with humor and love! Animals, especially our pets, have a knack for providing both those gifts by the bucketload.
Many of you were inspired by the video tutorials, and it was also lovely to see some of the techniques learned in Linda’s Custom Shadow Mastery 1 and 2 classes woven into your pages as well.
Our March 2014 Top Pick layout, simply titled, Robin, by barb7 is a beautiful example of this.
Using the cropping technique from Susie’s “Outside the Square” video tutorial, barb7 has designed an elegant page that shows off the photos, taken with her iPhone, to their best advantage.
The titles and journaling complement the style of the page perfectly. Congratulations, barb7!

Congratulations to all of you featured as Top Picks! Your layouts are terrific!
All very inspiring. Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much for this very unexpected and humbling honor! You should have seen me this morning when I found out I got the Top Pick for March. I was jumping around in my pj’s and bathrobe with joy and disbelief. It certainly made my day! Heck, I’ll be riding on this for quite awhile.
I was very nervous posting for the first time to the gallery amongst so many talented people, I wasn’t even sure anyone would give my layouts a second look, let alone give me such wonderful comments. That alone was a wonderful gift.
Congratulations to all the people that were picked out this month, I am honored to be recognized along side you. Your layouts are beautiful.
Anyone out there that is nervous about posting, please join in, you never know what will happen, you could get Pick of the Month!
Thank you again for the honor!
