Studio J "Lucy" Bath Time Layout

Studio J Lucy Layout featuring my three gorgeous grandkids: Daci, Livvi and Street

This year, for the upcoming annual CTMH National Convention (July in Dallas!), we had a little homework with Studio J (Close To My Heart's SIMPLE was to complicated looking digital pages).  We were sent the instructions for 5 layouts to complete before Convention. CTMH even gave us a 5 pack card FREE ($55 value) to pay for having the layouts printed and shipped to us before Convention. Gosh, I love this company.

This is the first layout of the five I created, using the "Lucy" digital kit.  LOVE how it turned out. I hope you do too! Feel free to click on any photo in this post to see it larger and in more detail.

Some of the fun techniques I learned and used making this layout were:

• Deleting unwanted photo wells
• Using text boxes to cover up portions of the pattern and filling them with paper
• Cropping My Stickease borders to created ribbon streamers
• Resizing, cropping  and clustering My Stickease
• Adding digital stitching
• Layering text boxes to create journaling strips

If you are interested in learning more about our easy, breezy, beautiful (wait, that might be another company's slogan) Studio J digital scrapbooking program, click here for a  quick written overview and many questions answered, then open an account (free!) and start creating.  You can purchase a membership for $10 per month that allows you to pay only $6.50 per 2-page layout and you get one order of between 4 and 20 layouts each month with FREE shipping, and page protectors included.  Nifty, snifty!
