5 Steps to Scrapbooking with Studio J

I love the new Studio J online scrapbooking program that was introduced in April.  I have so many pictures and always feel "behind" in scrapbooking.  Will I ever get caught up?  With this new online program I can create layouts in minutes!  Here are five easy steps that will get you preserving your memories in no time:

1.  Upload and edit your photos.  Flip them, zoom in, rotate, or create black and white or sepia pictures!
2.  Select the paper kit that you would like to use.  Each comes with coordinating background & texture duos papers, cardstock, and stickease!
3.  Select the page patterns- from 2 to 15 photos per layout!
4.  Personalize your layout:  add title, journaling, fun embellishments, distressing and more!
5.  Order your prints and they will be custom printed and delivered directly to you! Each custom printed two-page layout is $12.95 with free page protectors when you order 5 or more layouts.  Even better get free shipping when you purchase 10 or more layouts!

I am loving the new features introduced at convention for Studio J.... did you know that you can now brighten teeth, yes TEETH, and even remove blemishes from your photos using the new Studio J online scrapbooking program?  Check it out on my website at http://scrapstudio.myctmh.com

Welcome to my blog! I am so excited to be able to share my artwork, thoughts, local happenings, and stamping and scrapbooking tips with you! I love to be inspired by the many creative blogs out there and I hope that you may be inspired by something you see here. I have been debating whether or not to start a blog for over a year and finally decided to do it! Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think from time to time- my goal is to make this an interactive blog where we can learn and be inspired together.
Here is a fun card that I created using the July Stamp of the Month: Happy Forever.
