New Idea Book Coming Soon!

It's almost time! (just like Christmas, we like getting ready early) The new Idea Book will be debuting Aug 1st.  All papers in the current book will no longer be available other than the Skylark collection. If you have a favorite paper pack in the current book be sure to get it ordered soon. Once the current paper collections are gone, they're gone!  I do have an option that is pretty darn good though.  ALL papers, even the very old ones, are available on Studio J.  And if you look close there are some EXCLUSIVE papers on there too.  This is a great and quick option to scrap with papers you may have missed.

Every year I make layouts for my husband and his friends that are attending the Indy 500 race on Memorial weekend. These layouts pay tribute to the fallen family members, telling unimaginable stories of courage and sacrifice.  Here are a couple from this year...

Notice the old paper which is CLASSIC!  Every year I can add to the race book with the same papers. In this instance it's fantastic to have the pages consistent. When you place your Studio J order you get web ready jpgs to share on any social media along with hi-res jpgs to print on your own. Truly, taking advantage of the 12x12 prints from Studio J is the best. Quality is outstanding and you usually get the prints in 4-5 days.

**It is recommended that the matting feature not be used with the photo-only templates, the Photo Express Collection, as matting may cause photos to appear misaligned.

Here are some benefits that I enjoy with Studio J …

Because the software is online, you can scrapbook from anywhere. You can create to your hearts content for FREE! Only pay for what your purchase. Family members across the miles can contribute. How great is that?  Here is a layout my husband (YES! he did it on his own) put together of his Germany trip. 

There are preset EASY, "drop your photos in" layouts or there are layouts that you have full freedom to drop in your pics to size, rotate how you wish.

How about using the Open layout to drop in pics just for printing?  The quality is outstanding and for $5 you can have a nice selection of pics any size you want to put on traditional scrapbook layouts.
