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 ...

Here are some of my recent Studio J creations. Once again, I am using Studio J to create my 2012 Calendar.  This year, I am doing them early, so it doesn't pile up on me at the end of the year!   April's calendar layouts using Sophia (yes, these are pictures from last week and YES, my daughter's dress matches the paper pack!)   March calendar layouts using Lucky.   Park day using Rough and Tumble- and oldie but goodie!  This may have been my very first paper pack I ordered through CTMH (4 1/2 years ago)   Batting Practice using Stardust   Lil Artists using Animal Cookies   1st Lesson using Splash Zone (studio J exclusive) I placed my order

I am continuing to use Studio J to create my calendar layouts! One page is my calendar layout, and the other is just a page for my general album.  I inadvertently used the same pattern on two different months layouts- but look how changing up the papers can make a huge difference: February- Left side is the Calendar layout Animal Cookies papers, added black cardstock. September:  Left side is the Calendar layout I really wanted to use a "rainbow" of colors for this layout, so I chose Tinkerin'.  But on in one photo, Allie's shirt was purple, so I was able to change the color of the paper to match the colors I was looking for (the purple and the red papers below) Tinkerin Paper For the last 3 years, I have created scrapbooked 12x12 calendars for both sets of Grandparents as well as for myself.  The first 2 have been traditional scrapbook layouts- where I was not able to fully embellish.  NOW- my new and improved calendars created with Studio J are fu...
