I just ordered a whole bunch of Studio J layouts and would love to share with you some of them! My daughter's Pinkalicious birthday party was at the beginning of the month.  I used the Sophia kit to create these layouts. The first layout is a "lift" of the layout featured when you go to Studio J.  I used a tutorial from Studio Scrapping to create the stitching.  Mine is not perfect, but I love it! On this second layout, I changed the paper colors to fit the Pink theme :)  I created another Pool layout :)  I used the Caboodle kit, which accented the pool pics nicely! We recently went to Legoland- this layout uses one of my favorite paper packs--- Animal Cookies Have you ordered your FREE Studio J jpeg yet???  Time is running out... Head on over to Studio J and get started!  Its super easy to use and you will love it :) Thanks to Studio J, I've also completed a custom scrapbook- Baby's first year - for a customer!  I have lots of ...
