Studio J Digital addiction- only $5 per 2-page layout - Time to update "My Life" theme scrapbook

Remember just pick a memory and tell a story. 

Double click on any lay-out to see the story.

As many of you know my first love has always been "Classic" scrapbooking, however with that being said the digital age has come and for all those people storing their photos in the computer and on memory sticks, where no one can see them. you need to try Digital, start designing for FREE now, then develop in November for just $2.50 per 12x12 page.. wow ! GET ALL THE DETAILS HERE

Been adding to "My Life" Scrapbook this week. Wanted to show you what I did, in hopes to inspire some of you to do the same. I love digital because it forces you to pick THE BEST photos and to tell the story NOW, not later...when you have forgotten the details. Each 12 x 12 page comes to me printed on silver-lined photo paper ready to slide into my album. And yes I am addicted !

Offer valid November 1, 2014–November 31, 2014. 

November marks the five-year anniversary of Studio J^®, and that means it’s your lucky month, with five amazing ways to win through Studio J and Close To My Heart social media!

First, throughout the month of November, all layouts purchased in Studio J are $5! That is a savings of over 25% off of retail! Your second chance to win big must come by sheer luck: every fifth order placed in Studio J during November receives a FREE surprise Close To My Heart accessory in its shipping box! The accessory has a retail value of $5 or more.

If luck doesn’t smile on you in that way, you might stumble upon it by finding a little extra something in your Studio J box. Five “golden tickets” will be sent out during the month of November with randomly selected Studio J print orders! This “golden ticket” is redeemable for one of Close To My Heart’s new D-ring albums* loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors™.

For a fourth way to win, simply create new, gorgeous layouts in Studio J, select your favorites, and then post pictures of them on Close To My Heart’s Facebook page using the hashtag #ctmhlucky5. After November 30, five lucky winners will be selected from the entries based on their artistry and creativity and each of these winners will receive their own D-ring album loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors!

And there is one last way to win: take your new Studio J artwork and post a picture of it on Instagram using the hashtag #ctmhlucky5. Just as it is with Facebook, after November 30, five lucky winners will be selected from the entries to receive their own D-ring album loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors!

And to make things even more exciting, starting November 1, five brand new kits from the Annual Inspirations idea book will be made available in Studio J, so you can create new artwork using the latest papers and embellishments from Close To My Heart. With so many ways to win, five may be your new lucky number! Log in to Studio J and start creating today.

Sweet Christmas Memories

I had a wonderful time revisiting Christmas' past as I prepared for my Nov/Dec Scrapbook workshop using the new Yuletide Carol patterned paper.
Mail Order Option also available

I just love this time of year, when I work on my theme albums... it is so much fun, I think I better start an Easter one this year !! So I dug out the Christmas photos and decided on Christmas of 1994 & 1989 (yes 2 years this year). 

The memories quickly relived as I looked at the photos, 1989 was my twins first Christmas, everything seemed so magical. Then as I looked at 1994 it reminded me how they were still riding with Santa 5 years later and this was Laverne & Shirley's (dalmatians) first Christmas . I definitely feel all warm and nice inside when I look at these lay-outs. I love them!

So whether you are starting or continuing a Holiday theme album or simply getting ready for this years Holidays. Please come and join me on one of the evening or morning listed on the left hand side of this page. Remember you must RSVP so that I am expecting you :)

I will teach three 2-page 12 x 12 lay-outs from the Cherish/Imagine/Magic/or Reflection lay-out books or my own original design. One will be more complicated with new techniques or interactive, while the other two will be more basic. That means that you will go home with 6 completed pages & 3 page protectors ready for photos.

All this for just $25.00. Must RSVP
