Scrapbooking with Studio J: part 3

If you have not seen my first post about Studio J, please
click here to read it first! I have another great layout to share
today! This one was from my honeymoon!
I do need to stress to y'all if using Studio J, please proofread!
Studio J does a good job of hounding you when checking out to make
sure you proofread, but of course I didn't and clicked yes I did
and I mis-spelt 'Honeymoon' oh well... lol

(Please not these are photographs of my layouts so the
quality is a bit diminished from the real thing)

Scrapbooking with Studio J: part 1

So I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that are not
scrapbookers. Maybe not even papercrafters, or even crafty
for that matter. I'm also pretty sure y'all have friends
that make those pretty little scrapbooks and think to yourself
that would be a pretty cool thing to make but in the words of Sweet Brown,
"Ain't nobody got time fir that!"

Well you are in luck! Close To My Heart has a great thing
called Studio J Online Scrapbooking. 
There are many ways to use it and all you need is
a computer, the internet, and some digital photos. There 
is no software to buy or even download. You can make an
account with CTMH by clicking here. 

With Studio J you can go the simple route by picking a paper pack
that goes the best with your photos and then choosing 
from the available layouts what you like best, or you can search 
through layouts and pick from there, or you can make up your own!

What does is cost you ask? Nothing to create your pages and
they are saved for a year! Once you decide that you
want them in print, just buy a 5-pack card for only $39.95 
and that gets you 10 pages printed and shipped!!

Here are the first two pages I did on Studio J. They are fabulous
in person! I was shocked by the quality!:
(Note that I took pictures of these, they are much prettier in person!)



Keep checking in as I will be posting more Studio J layouts!

Twisted Tuesday #65 with CTMH

Hello friends! Sorry this has taken me so long to post...
and sorry I haven't posted much this last month, just been so
busy! There is a fabulous challenge going on over at
Twisted Tuesday and I hope you'll join us!

Cutting Corners

The Challenge:
Fussy cut something on your project

The Twist:
Do something fancy with some corners on your project.
Use a corner rounder, ticket punch, or some nifty border punch.

For my card I used paper from the Sarita pack from 
Close To My Heart. I also used the hostess rewards stamp set
The Party is On which I stamped in Lagoon and Outdoor Denim ink.
I rounded the corners with a Marvy corner punch. The banner
that I fussy cut I popped up on pop-dots.
