New Ideas, New Ideas, New Ideas

Hello!

My last post was in February.  Sheesh!  Well, now that summer is over, and school is back I feel like it is back to business.  Crafty stuff that is!

This summer flew by even though it was a lot of lazy days.  We did visit my sister in Colorado and got to see my new niece for the first time.  She is so cute and so cute...did I mention she is cute?

I've still been playing with Close To My Heart products but did get a little sidetracked with Graphic 45.  The patterns in their lines are all vintage!  And I got to practice my layering, layering, layering.  It makes such a difference in the artwork.

Close To My Heart is still my number scrapbook supplier.  Their exclusive colors and matching kits make my scrapbooking so much easier.  Especially since my scrapbook time is usually chopped throughout the day or week.  Don't make me think about what is going to go with what.  I have pictures waiting for layouts.  Although, with all of my workshop layouts I now have layouts waiting for my pictures and journaling.  It's kind of nice...

The Close To My Heart Idea Book went live August 1st and I didn't even share the news!  Our Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book has so many new designs and coordinating products that you are going love!  I can't wait to introduce them to you.  We also have a special Holiday brochure coming out that you won't want to miss.  I got my sneak peek today and it is gorgeous.

There will be an upcoming Open Craft Night to hang out with some friends and finish your projects, or pay your bills, or paint your nails.  Join me for the crop and an introduction to the new Idea Book.

Lets hear it for Studio J!

I just finished scrapbooking my wedding photos.  Yes, I've been married ten years and I'm just now scrapbooking them.  Better late than never, right?  Anyhoo, I decided to try my hand at Studio J, Close To My Heart's online scrapbooking studio, and I must say...it was so easy.  Not only did I complete my layouts in record time I used a paper pack that has been discontinued but I LOVED!  Customization was quick and so was shipping!  Plus I get jpgs with my layout purchases or I can purchase just the jpgs files for less!  I love it!  Share them in an album or share them online.  My layouts are now neatly in an album waiting to be shared with family and friends.  Below is one of my Studio J layouts.  Just gorgeous!

 

 

 

For this month's Constant Campaign Close To My Heart is celebrating Studio J!  There have been some awesome changes like, no more memberships and more affordable pages.  You get the benenfits of an unlimited paper pack, stickease, embellishments, ribbon, stitching, and various distressing all at your computer!  Plus if you purchase nine layouts you get the tenth for free.  Click here for more info.  Create a focal point on a wall with a few 12x12 (or slightly larger) picture frames and add a Studio J layout.  Create one layout and purchase multiple copies for the other scrapbookers in your family. 

 

You don't need an account to play with Studio J.  Just visit and see all that you can do.
