I tell you, I'm really loving using Studio J for events that have LOTS and LOTS of pictures! I think this just may cut down on the # of pages that go in the albums and I can save my paper playing for the fun every day shots :) Besides that, I can use it for paper packs that I either don't have (like this one: Magic Moments) or ones that I've used up all the paper and don't want to buy another whole set (like I did with Rough and Tumble, the last birthday LO) OR for paper packs that are retired (there are a few that are in Studio J but are retired now)

UPDATE::: The Winter Cozy textured cardstock will be available for purchase through Friday, February 12, 2010 until midnight (MT) with one slight difference. Any orders placed as of today through tomorrow at midnight will not contain the Blush nor the Crystal Blue textured cardstock. Instead, it will contain four sheets of non-textured Blush cardstock and four sheets of non-textured Crystal Blue cardstock. And as an extra bonus we have included four sheets of White Daisy textured cardstock with this pack bringing the total sheets of cardstock to 28—a great deal for you and your customers! After Friday at midnight, the Winter Cozy textured cardstock will not be restocked for the remainder of the campaign and will be placed on the unavailable list until further notice. Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we’re eager to help. We’re excited to announce Close To My Heart’s February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Hait...

Just wanted to share yet another Studio J layout I created. Now that I've done a couple, its getting faster, simpler, easier! Seriously. This one took me less than an hour :) And I don't have to blow up the big photo or resize the other 3. Just place them in the photo well and adjust from there :) I love the distressing I can do, adding whatever embellishments I want (or leaving the standard ones that they have "pre-set" for you). I urge you to give Studio J a try when its available to all!!!!!

As a consultant, I was finally granted access to CTMH's newest adventure--- Studio J. Studio J is yet another way to make your scrapbooking faster, simpler, easier! It is digital scrapbooking that does not require you to download any software. You simply go to my website and click on the Studio J link and create! There are several paper packs (retired ones and an exclusive one), many layout patterns to choose from and then tons of embellishments to make your projects shine! This layout is my first with Studio J. I used the exclusive paper kit "Boo". I looooove it! This layout was pretty easy to create, once I got used to how it worked ;) Now that I've created this fabulous layout, all I have to do is order it. BUT there are some package deals for when you order 5 and 10 layouts at a time, so I'll wait :) This program will be available to EVERYONE in March, so stay tuned :)
