YouTube Saturday - Love Your Layout

With the Digital Delights promotion in the month of February, I knew I had to share this Studio J video.  As you watch, and if you're new to Studio J...don't be discouraged as it appears the video is "sugar rushed" through the step by step process of customizing this layout.  I am offering a free Studio J class this month and I will show you how you can preserve your holiday memories, just like in this video.

So many options are available in Studio J...give it a try!

Studio J - Shining Bright

Many of you know that my husband, Ken, transports new semi-tractors from the manufacturer to the dealerships across the US and into Canada.  During the week of Halloween, he came home with these trucks heading to British Columbia, Canada...and coincidentally the trucks were color coordinated for the Halloween holiday.  One of his friends mentioned it looked like he was driving a big ol' pumpkin down the road.  

Ken was so excited to show me all the amber lighting on these trucks...normally the trucks just have the bare bones, and aren't much to brag about.  These trucks were decked out with exterior lights.  Even the full moon was shining bright during our photo op.

I don't want Ken to feel like I am leaving his interests out of my scrapbooking pages...so I find that Studio J is perfect for these pictures.  I can get a quality layout finished from start to finish in a matter of minutes, and don't have to worry about whether or not I have the right size photos...the Studio J software does it for you!  I know he's going to enjoy looking back at these pages someday.

Do you have lots of digital photos?  You'll love Studio J, CTMH's patented online design software that gets your photos off the memory card and into your life!  Have you tried Studio J yet...click here to try for free, you only pay when you put your layouts into your cart and check out.

Enjoy!

A Studio J Experience

I was given a Studio J assignment for Convention.  With each assignment, we are shown new techniques that you can achieve using Studio J...

• Rotate a page
• Use a vellum text box to lighten a color
• Convert a photo well to a text box
• Create my own embellishments

This layout uses the Lucky kit, and the Portrait Collection pattern.  

I learned how to:

• Add a photo mat behind my photo using a journaling box
• Use letters as embellishments
• Create a title using several journaling boxes
• Use a My Stickease image to make a border

This layout uses the Magic Moments kit, and the Powerful Trio pattern.  

I learned how to:

LeaderShare & Studio J

I realize you may not have even noticed I was away last week, with the exception of no postings. Sorry! I had lots of new artwork to post, but I had to keep it all secret...until after the big event. I left for Omaha, NE last Tuesday to do the final preparations for LeaderShare, a corporate event for CTMH consultants. The event took place in Omaha on Friday and Saturday and was a HUGE success...and seems that everyone who participated had tons of fun. The feedback we've received has been very rewarding. Shari and I were completely exhausted after the 2-day event and months of planning...but we're thrilled we have had such positive feedback, and pulled it off without a hitch.

Each of us taught two creative classes...Shari taught a 12 page workshop using Footloose, which I will be offering as workshop in May, and a 2-page Pemberley layout too. I taught a 10-card workshop with a card box (which will also be a upcoming workshop!), and another 4 card workshop using the die-cut cards and Stella papers. I promise to post artwork pictures very soon!

We also had an opportunity to create 5 amazing layouts on Studio J in preparation for a Studio J business class during LeaderShare. We had very specific instructions to follow, showing lots of techniques you can do digitally to enhance your layouts. If you haven't at least tried Studio J yet...I strongly encourage you to do so. Give Studio J a try (click on Products, then Studio J Online Scrapbooking), it's free...you only pay when you purchase your layouts, what do you have to lose?
