My Latest Studio J Layouts

Thanks to the awesome Studio J special last month, I got a lot of layouts completed and ordered (some I ordered duplicates of) - and thanks to this month's special, I will get even more done!  I love filling up my books so quickly and easily!  Some of these I kept really simple, and some I had fun playing around with the stitching and layering Stickease.  Here is a quick look at the pages I've done lately.

Thanks to Studio J...

...I got 24 scrapbook pages done in less than a week!  David is the Scout Master in our Ward and he took the boys on a 3 day hike and then they participated in a Triathalon earlier this month.  He asked me to make some sort of display to share the pictures - the scrapbooker in me immediately wanted to do a scrapbook page, so I turned to Studio J and completed twelve 2-page layouts in just 4 days.  I loved that there was no mess to deal with afterwards, and the best part is that if any of the parents want a copy of the pages I can order more with just the click of a button or share my free jpg file with them to print their own!  My pages will get here tomorrow and then we can display them at the church.  Here is a quick glance at the pages I did - I used the Free Spirit papers on the camping pages and Lucky papers on the Triathalon pages.

Thanks for looking!



Productive Day

Yesterday David had the day off so I took advantage of the available 'babysitter' and made a trip to the chiropractor to work on some problems and I think it did the trick, I had quite the productive day today!  By 10 a.m. this morning I had already (1) been to town to pick up my Bountiful Basket (love this program!), (2) made homemade Buttermilk pancakes, bacon, and fresh cut fruit from my basket for breakfast, (3) baked 2 loaves of banana bread, and (4) started dinner in the crock pot.  That's a lot for me for a Saturday morning!  After that, it was time to relax and hang out with the family and I got the following Studio J layouts done so I could place my order before the end of the month and get my free Sparkles and Opaques (and free shipping and page protectors of course)!

Here are my pages:

This one is a flashback - 6 years ago, look how they've grown!  I had fun 'trimming' the Stickease on this layout.  These papers are from Splash Zone, which is a Studio J exclusive.

My next layout uses the same papers, even though it's not a water layout - I love how versatile the CTMH papers really can be.  The colors in the papers went with my pictures, plus the circles in the patterned paper reminded me of the game pieces.  I didn't do a lot of playing around with this layout - this one was quick and to the point.

Another flashback layout - these pictures are from 2 1/2 years ago, and they were taken with my cell phone, so the quality is not good, but the memories sure are!  I used the Take the Cake papers which are another Studio J exclusive kit.  I had fun playing with the different Stickease in this kit as well - I especially love the banner border that I turned into a title piece by adding text and alphabet Stickease.

This layout uses the fun Cherry-O  papers - I had fun playing around with the Stickease and stitches for my title.  I am going to use Flip-Flaps to add even more pictures to this layout once I add it to my album.  She was such a goof and kept pulling silly faces and I kept snapping away - I love that about digital cameras!

Here are a couple of Sophia pages.  Both are more flashback cell phone pics - the quality once again is not the best, but I just love all pictures ;-)  I had fun playing with the titles on both of these layouts by combining Stickease and Journaling Boxes.

Can you tell I just love that stripe paper?!?

I finally got some pages scrapped from Kaylee's baptism.  I have one that has been in my 'to-do' pile for quite a while now and I hope I can get it done and complete this event.  It uses the Voice Recorder and I recorded Kaylee playing a song on the piano that she learned and played at her baptism.  Here are the rest of the pages for now.

On this page I turned the journaling box into a photo well.  I played around with the Stickease once again.

On this layout I added a touch of Topiary since green is Kaylee's favorite color.  I also played around with the title/journaling box and added a fun shadow effect by layering two identical journaling boxes - one with Bamboo lettering and the other with black.  I really love the look it achieved!

On this layout, the horizontal picture on the left page is actually two different photo wells - I just put the same picture in both wells and enlarged them and lined them up so they look like one!  Thanks to a fellow CTMH Consultant who shared this idea - when I find the name and video where I saw this, I will post it here!

One more - more cell phone pics.  I played around with some ribbon tabs on this layout and created some ribbon flowers - love them!

I love that I got so many pages done in so little time, at a great price, and clean-up was a breeze - just logged out and closed the laptop!  Have you tried Studio J yet?  What are you waiting for!

Thanks for visiting - I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Scrapbook Update

I just added 36 pages to my scrapbook yesterday (plus 4 more pages for gifts) - all for less than $100 (which included free shipping and free page protectors) thanks to Studio J.  Eighteen of those pages were duplicates from the ones I gave to my mom for Christmas, without any extra work, just the click of a button.  I couldn't have done that many layouts, that quick, or that cheap with traditional scrapping.  I will NEVER give up my traditional scrapping (I actually have a current page in progress that I hope to share soon) but I am sure loving Studio J right now!  Here are the pages I added:
