I am still working on creating my Studio J layouts this month so that I can earn my FREE layout :)  I'm not sure I'll make it to 10 layouts though.... Here is a layout I created with the retired Daydream paper kit in under 20 minutes tonight! I did not do a whole lot to the design of this one.  I switched the flower/circle over to the right side, added my title and journaling.  I added sponge distressing to the papers and it's complete!

I created these two layouts today from my daughter's birthday party! This one is using the Daydream paper pack! And this one uses Life's Delights (retired paper pack)!

I used my markers and my waterbrush and ink pads to color in all the images. I also used some stickles to give them that extra pop!
