Studi J Digital layouts

I finally gave Studio J Digital Scrapbooking from Close to My Heart a try. I love digital scrapbooking but because of our not so great interent connection, I have been putting it off. Well, let me just say "I'm hooked!" I created 10 layouts over the past several days (could have been faster with high speed!). These are just a few of them, the rest are on my facebook page.

Want to check out Studio J for yourself? Go to my web site and click on Studio J, you can try it out for free! And when you purchase a membership, your layouts are half price!

Studio J

Have you been thinking of trying digital scrapbooking? February is a great time to check out Studio J, Digital Scrapbooking from Close to My Heart.

This month Studio J members get one layout free for every 9 layouts you purchase. It is a great way to scrap your digital photos quickly and have access to retired paper packs and stickease!

I have been playing with Studio J this month and have found it to be a great way to scrap my older photos quickly. I completed 10 layouts in very little time and now they are on their way to me! And...I didn't have to clean off the table when it was time for dinner, just put my laptop away and clean-up is done!

Check it out by going to my web site and clicking on Studio J! You can check it out for free. Create a layout and see how easy it is.

February Scrapbook/Card Workshop

Layout # 1: Wings Workshop on the Go

Layout # 2: Magic - Final Act

Cards # 1: Wings Workshop on the Go

Cards # 2: Wishes - Corner Shop

I had a lot of fun using the new spray pen on theses layotus and cards. I used the Wings Stickease on Layout #2 and sprayed the Colonial White Cardstock with the Vineyard Berry mixture.

If you are not able to attend but would like to create these layouts and cards on your own you will need the following:

G1016 - Wings WOTG

Z1039 - Create-a-Shade Pearl Paint

Z2257 - Vineyard Berry Reinker

1248 - Vineyard Berry Ink

I would also suggest an additional package of Z1393 if you would like to create both the layouts and cards. You will need at least a 3x3 sized block.
