Fun Times-Studio J class

Once again time is flying by.  I am been a busy little bee getting ready for a team retreat.  Our retreat is the end of October.  I will post the projects here after the retreat.  It's been so fun to prepare for so check back often. 

It's time for another Studio J on-line class. It's so simple.  The class is taught via the Internet. This class uses some really fun techniques that will knock your socks off.  To sign up just email Lynette for details at myhandsyourheart@aol.com  there will be just a few homework items you need to do to be ready for the class.

Virtual Classroom and Photo Shoot-Join Me

I am so excited to offer something so fun and exciting.  Let me introduce you to my Studio J Virtual classroom.  You might ask "What is a Studio J Virtual Classroom"?  Virtual classrooms are an easier and more convenient way to attend classes, and you can choose when to attend and you can complete the course from the comfort of your own home. It's like having a web conference or on-line meeting where we will desktop share as I walk you completely through the layout at your pace .  All you need is a computer and internet.

Come give it a try.  We will start with the below layout called "Beautiful You"  of course with Studio J you will be customizing the title and colors to fit your photos and needs.

If you don't have photos for the layout no problem.   If you live in the Salt Lake City, UT area just contact me and I will be more than happy to come do a photo shoot of you, your family or anything you choose for me to photograph.  I charge a very minimal fee for the photo shoot.

Before we begin our Studio J Virtual Classroom I will need you to do a couple of things to be ready for the class.  If you are interested please email me at myhandsyourheart@aol.com for further instructions.

I look forward to seeing you in my classroom.-Lynette

More Fun with Studio J Layouts

Hope everyone had a great weekend.   I promised I would post the rest of my Studio J layouts I completed last weekend (where did this last week go).

London:
Lets start with my London layouts.  I think for the most part I have finished our London trip.  I did all of London with the "Passages" paper pack.  So now I can move onto France.  HUMMM any suggestions what paper pack I should do our France layouts with?  So many choices.  Well for now it feels great to have London finished.

Remember to click on layouts to enlarge.



I journaled on the photos since I didn't add a journaling block.  The photos tell the story so I didn't need too much journaling.



This will be the first page in the album.

You have not experienced London until you ride the "Tube"  It is an experience we will never forget.



 Disney:
I did a few Disney layouts that needed to be done.  Feels great to have these done as well.



I used the Hooligans paper pack with this layout.  It fit the characters perfect.

 As always thanks for stopping by.  Hopefully this week will not speed by so quickly and I can get more done.  Talk to you all later.

Lots of Layouts

Boot Camp or bust.  Haha that was my frame of mind last weekend.  CTMH is hosting a Studio J (online/digital scrapbooking) boot camp for consultants.  Registration was open to only 40 participants.  Last month I decided that I have way too much on my plate and that I was not going to go.  However, this last weekend I just felt so inspired that I needed to go.  My family all said "I can't believe you are not going" and trust me anytime CTMH has an event it is so worth every penny and minute.

So when I sat at my computer I had all the criteria to go with the exception I needed to have completed 20 Studio J layout.  UGGGHHHHH I think I had only completed 10.  So I kept telling myself there is no way I can get 10+ layouts done in a weekend.   It was going to be a busy weekend with me finishing up my workshops, Fred had a treatment and lots of other things going on.  So I just came to the conclusion that I would work a little here and a little there on the layouts and after I am done with all 20 if registration is closed that will be my answer that I was not suppose to go.

So I completed my layouts and ohhh yes registration was still open so I took the plunge and registered.  However I think I got the last spot because when I went back to the computer a few minutes later  the registration link had been taken down.  WOW that's what I call a "close call"  and yes I think it was a sign I needed to go and have a good time.  I am very excited to go and spend time with my CMTH friends for a two day boot camp.

Ohhh I almost forgot.  Do you want to see the layouts I did?  Of course you want to see them.  HAHAHA.  I will post half of them now and half later.

DISNEY LAYOUTS:  It was good to get some of these Disney layouts done.  We are going to Florida this year so I will have more photos so it feels good to have 2009 almost completed with a combination on traditional and Studio J scrapbooking.

Ok now I have to admit the greatest thing about doing your vacation layouts in Studio J is you can click "Copy" and print as many as you would like to have a layout for each child's book.

Thanks for stopping by.  I will post more later but hope you have a fantastic day.  OHHH and by the way I was not around yesterday to wish all of you a Lucky St. Patrick's day so I am wishing you one now.

Sharing Some Successful Studio J

Wow, did you all notice that "Sharing Some Successful Studio J" is a lot of "S" words.  That could be a real tongue twister don't ya think?  Anyway I hope everyone is having a fantastic day.  I just wanted to share some Studio J layouts that I have recently done.

As you all know I LOVE Studio J .   It is not an abandonment to traditional scrapbooking,  but works as a companion along side traditional scrapbooking or looks beautiful all by itself .  That is the beauty of it. 

Have you noticed at the top of my blog there is a page tab that says "Online Scrapbooking"  I am in the process of adding a few Studio J tips, tricks, tutorials and techniques under that page so check back often to view some great Studio J information to help you.

What I love about this Studio J layout is that you can easily journal on the photos.  Notice the journaling on the photo in the right hand corner.

With Studio J it's so easy to edit your photos.  Alyssa was wearing a bright orange shirt that was so distracting to the overall layout.  With one little click I changed my color photo to black and white.  It made the world of difference.

Journaling in white.  I love that look.

I added lots of layering and matting to this layout.

This layout I used the background and textured paper as the base.  It really added to the theme of this layout.

Of course my favorite thing in the world to do in Studio J is re size all or any of the embellishments to the size I want.

Have a great day.  That is all I have for today.  Thanks for stopping by and if you have not played around with Studio J give it a try.  You will LOVE it.

Score 10 with Studio J Special

Happy Friday everyone.  The questions of the day I have for you are have you tried Studio J yet?  Have you signed up for a Studio J membership yet? If not NOW is the time to give it a try.  CTMH has a fantastic special for the month of February. 

I still love traditional scrapbooking, but I have to say that I also love Studio J online scrapbooking.  A few days ago I had taken these photos of  Lauren.  I then went over to the Close To My Heart website and saw this beautiful Studio J layout on the home page that I just fell in love with it and to be honest was drooling over it  So I logged onto my Studio J account and approx. 30 minutes later I had this layout completed with photos and journaling.  It was so fun and EASY.

During the month of February Studio J members who purchase 9 layouts will get the 10th layout free.  All 9 layouts with the 10th one free must be purchased in one single order.  That makes this special a PERFECT 10 or as I would say "Score 10" 

Click HERE to get started with your Studio J journey.  Have a fabulous weekend and I am off to complete more Studio J layouts today because I plan to get the 10th layout free.  I have been working on my Europe trip in Studio J.
