What better way to scrapbook the photos from  my CTMH team's Celebration with corporate CFO that with Studio J ! Back in April, we found out that my team had earned our very own PaRtY with a visit from a corporate executive in September.  We were soooooo excited!  Though many could not make the trip to Fresno to be with us, those of us there had a blast!   Take a look at my Studio J layout of the memories!   I love that I can coordinate the colors in Studio J with the colors from the All Star Party.   Be sure to get your Studio J layouts completed by November 30th for the Lucky 5 Promotion and $5 layouts :)

Welcome to the Studio J Blog Hop!!!! If you are coming here from  Rebecca's Blog  you are on the right path.  September's theme is   Anything Goes! Today I want to share with you a layout from my most recent Studio J order.  This one is from Convention 2013! I love my girls and we have the BEST time each year at convention! We've got Team Spirit, yes we do!!!!!! I used the Daydream paper pack, which I love for Princess and girly girl photos.   Hop on over to my friend Traci's Blog to see more Studio J fun!

This week's challenge over at Heart2Heart Challenges is Inspired by Food.   A couple weeks ago we went fruit picking at a local u-pick farm.  The fruits were delicious, the scenery was amazing and the company was fabulous.   I decided to scrapbook this adventure with Studio J.   I used the Flirty Kit for this layout. You've heard me rave before about Studio J , and this is no exception!  I took tons of pictures and was able to incorporate lots of them in this layout without having to print any of them, or crop any of them.  I just uploaded and dragged them into the slots.  EASY PEASY! I hope you'll play along with us a Heart2Heart this week!

One of the COOL things about Studio J is the ability to make duplicate layouts EASILY!!!! Today I want to show you a layout I created, once for each kid :) I used an Express Collection layout, in the sports  collection.  I changed the colors of the layout to match the school colors.  Then I dropped the photos of my son in the layout, added some journaling, changed the title and DONE! Then I went into my projects, found that layout and hit DUPLICATE.  I opened the duplicate layout, and dropped in photos of my daughter, changed the journaling/title and DONE!   This is great for when you're doing similar pages for each child  you have, or if you want to do pages for someone else, with different photos.   Faster, Simpler Easier just got even Faster, Simpler and Easier! Give Studio J a try today!!!!

I {heart} Studio J!! Studio J is a way for me to catch up a little bit with my scrapbooking, to fill in the gaps between the traditional pages.  This month, I completed 18 layouts, which include 5 pages of photo printing (for my traditional pages).  I will show you a couple of them today :) Disney on Ice: I used the Zippidee kit for this one :) These next 2 use the Express Collections- where all I do is drag in my photos, add some journaling, adjust the colors (if I want to) and DONE!!! At The Zoo I used an OLD kit- Expedition for this one- perfect!  Give Studio J a try today!  START HERE!

I want to (finally) share some of my layouts from our trip to Costa Rica in March. This year, I took my mom on this amazing adventurous trip.  These are the layouts I created in Studio J, that I will put in her album :) All of these layouts use the Skylark Kit.  I am a huge fan of Studio J because of how quickly and easily the layouts come together.  Give it a try!!!

Even though I use the Calendar on my phone quite a bit, there's nothing better than having ALL the family activities written on a calendar for all to see!  Each year, one of my most favorite projects is to create my STUDIO J 12x12 monthly calendars.  I create three of them, one for myself, one for my parents and one for my in-laws.  I actually work on them all year long in STUDIO J , which makes the job go a whole lot quicker at the end of the year :) Here's how it's done:  First, I get these awesome 12x12 calendars from CTMH : I stamp the name of the Month, then write in all the dates and finish it by adding some stamping that coordinates with the calendar page :) Now for the Scrapbooked part..... I use STUDIO J !!!!!  Why???  It allows me to create a layout ONCE, then print as many as I want!  I could make 20 calendars (but I won't, haha). Studio J makes 2-page layouts--- well, sure, it does.  Here's what I do:  1) ...
