Roxybonds Creates

I am knee deep in packing boxes, and painting rooms in preparation for our move to our NEW HOUSE!  We bought a house after almost a year long search, then wait on answers on a short sale.  We closed escrow last week :-) Even though I have not done a whole lot in my craft room (other than prep for classes), I am still able to scrapbook via Studio J! I created this layout earlier this week:  I thought that Perfect Day went perfectly with these swimming pictures! And the pattern is exclusive to Members! Tips- * I used a sticker border on the left page in between the bracket and my picture.  * I used the stipple brush to create a speckled effect on the cardstock base. * I substituted a picture for the journal box on the lower right side. * I edited my pictures in Studio J to brighten some of them up. * I used the "Place kit alphabet area" feature to separate each stickease letter and then I was able to make some of them larger.  Remember you can try ...
