Zoe in Studio J

You can find some new Zoe paper collections in Studio J. I took advantage of the Studio J Flash Sale a couple weeks ago and just couldn't resist one of the new Zoe Express Collections. Using this digital program is very easy, affordable and the prints are beautiful.

Here is what the collection looks like when you are in Studio J. You select the layout you want, upload and arrange where you want your photo's and add some journaling.

Not only do you receive the beautiful printed layout in the mail, but you can also download a JPG file which is what I'm sharing here with you.

I was able to capture the memories from our recent summer travels. I typically scrapbook the "old fashioned" way with papers, lots of thick embellishments and stamping, however when I have several pictures from a vacation, scrapbooking digitally just makes it so much easier!

Log onto my website and click on Studio J. You will need to create an account first, then you are ready to click and drop! The Zoe collection will only be available until September 30th!

Thank you for stopping by!

Studio J Sale Extended!

Close To My Heart has had a tremendous response to the Studio J flash sale. The increased traffic is causing the system to respond a bit more slowly than you are probably used to. In an effort to alleviate some of that traffic, we are extending the sale through Monday, August 3 at 11:59 pm (MDT). But don't wait until then to get your order in—submit yours as early as you can so that you can take advantage of this phenomenal deal on Studio J layouts.

I am personally taking advantage of the great price of only $5 per layout. I returned from Summer vacation with over 100 pictures. It would cost much more for me in printer ink alone just to print all the photos I have.

Plus, starting tomorrow, you can order some brand new products. Check back here tomorrow for more details!!

Ode to Pinterest & Celebrating 40 ~ Studio J

I have two more layouts to share with you that I created on Studio J. The first one is a collage of all those recipes and projects I finally stopped hoarding on my Pinterest boards and actually tried.

 

This second layout is a collection of photo's from my 40th Birthday celebration! So often I'm scrapbooking for my kids, family, Holidays or travels. It's very rare that I'm in front of the camera and scrapbook my own personal events or accomplishments. I figure turning forty is a worthy accomplishment and I really should document it! {My husband and I were also celebrating 20 years of marriage which is also quite an achievement!}

You still have time to create your Studio J layouts for only $5 and win some prizes too! Click on the Current Specials tab for more details. If your on Instagram you can search #ctmhlucky5 for some inspiration and I have recently "pinned" ideas on Pinterest that will surely make you think beyond a traditional two-page layout!

Seeing the Sights~Studio J

This Studio J layout was created using another Express collection similar to the layout I posted yesterday. I love the big bold circle shape {sprocket} in the center of the layout. I also like how your eye simply flows across the page to view each photograph. It was a great way to showcase the few pictures I captured from this year's parade and carnival.

Gateway to Bryce Canyon~Studio J

This month Close To My Heart is celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Studio J. You can create two-page layouts for only $5. This is such a great deal and an amazing time saver also. I was getting a little behind on my personal scrapbook so I took advantage of the deal and I'm hoping to be a winner this month also!

Here is a layout I created using one of the Express Collections. From the time I logged in, chose my layout, uploaded my pictures and arranged the final product; my layout was complete in about 30 minutes! The Express 'Travel' Collection was perfect for my Bryce Canyon photo's.

When you design a layout in Studio J it will be mailed to you and you will receive the JPG for download, which is what I'm sharing with you here. I love that I can easily upload photo's from my computer directly into the Studio J program. This saves me on the cost of photo paper and ink for my printer. I designed a total of 4 layouts in no time at all and for only $5 each! {I will share my other layouts soon!}
