Scrap in a Flash #2

This layout was so fun to make with Studio J because I didn't have the embellishments on hand that would have allowed me to color coordinate. But with Studio J all I had to do was click on the buttons and I could choose to have them match the clothes we were wearing. I made all the other pictures black & white to allow the colors to really pop.

As a side note this was such a fabulous trip. When you have a family of your own it is hard to find the time to get extended family together. It was so worth what ever sacrifices had to be made to spend time with just the women that I love and admire the most.

True sisters...My sister and I live in different towns. When we went to get dressed the first day in Mobile we realized we packed identical clothes. Used to happen a lot when we lived together in the same house so it just warmed my heart to see that sometimes we are two of the same even after all these years.

Love that Wings Stamp

Here are a few Thank You cards that I made using the stamp set that comes only in the Wings Workshop on the Go. Love the pretty B&T that I was able to make with it. I was inspired by the skirt worn by one of the ladies at our church last Sunday.

Mayberry March Workshop

This month I am ordering the Mayberry Workshop. It has beautiful spring colors and the layout actually has a wonderful fruit theme. You can create either the layout, the cards, or both. And the Workshop Guide steps you through each step, so no need to worry. Once you have completed the layouts/cards there are plenty of extra paper, badges, and stamps (of course with stamps you can never use them too much) to keep on creating. All for $29.95!

Scrap In a Flash

In February, Close to My Heart ran a Studio J promo for the first time. I wasn't going to miss out on saving a little money and getting to catch up on my scrapbook to do list. So, I will be posting (via the FREE jpeg files you get when you are a Studio J member) the quick and easy layouts. I have to say they turned out fabulous.

If you don't think you have time to scrapbook any more but still long for a beautiful album full of all of your family's memories there's isn't an easier fix than Studio J. You just upload your photos, drag and drop, and they automatically resize to fit the layout of your choice with the paper of your choice, add a title and journal and viola! Best of all you only pay when you order and no software to load on your computer.

Triple Thanks

I hope you didn't miss February's stamp of the month (Friendship) because you can create your own beautiful B&T (background & texture paper)using it. I was making Beate Johns Triangle Trifold card to create a few Thank You cards. Love the way it turned out. All materials Close To My Heart.
