Seriously, every single new paper kit and lots of the new embellishments are available to play with on Studio J right now! I've only ordered 1/6th of what I want from this new Idea Book (I try to pace myself!), but I feel like I have the whole thing as a result of Studio J. Check out this quick tip video and let me know what you think.
I completed a layout while cropping with a friend last night and another one today on Studio J! I love weekends like this. Only 1 1/2 weeks left of school and then I hope to spend my summer in many such creative endeavors. Be sure to check out the video on my new blog, Studio Scrapping! I'll post my other layout after I talk to my sister and iron out the journalling for it. :-)

Yikes...I haven't updated my blog in ages. I have several new Studio J video tutorials up on my YouTube page, so be sure to check them out!
I'm really excited about the Studio J tutorials I've made over the past couple of weeks. Studio J is so quick and easy, so it is perfect for beginners. Yet, it is also ideal for those of us with some digital scrapbooking experience and Photoshop skills. I'm going to start making tutorials to help advanced users get the most out of their Studio J membership, as well. Until then, here are the last three videos I created. Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel, createwithamy, and leave me a comment!
I'm so excited about sharing this video with you today. The photo editing tools in Studio J are awesome...especially if you don't have Photoshop or another editing program on your computer. I demonstrate how I can remove an unsightly wrinkle with one of the editing tools built into Studio J...cheapest face lift ever!!!! I'm also happy to report that this video didn't take me very long to produce and I'm far more relaxed. That makes a big difference in my ability to find my words. :-)
Comments and suggestions for future topics are appreciated!
I finished the second half of the tutorial tonight! I think I did a much better job with avoiding the "um"s, but there is one really long pause as my mind was searching for a word. I really wanted to say "rotation thingy!" I eventually settled on "rotation symbol"--still not the right word, but at least I didn't say thingy. :-)
My login video is a little long winded with an annoying clicking sound. I think I figured out what that was and fixed it, but now I'm "um"ing all over the place! I will get better at this with more practice! This tutorial walks you through uploading photos, choosing a paper kit & pattern, coloring embellishments, and converting a photo well into a journaling box. Now I'm going to record finishing up the layout!
Again, please let me know when you start playing around with Studio J. I currently have one friend who is a member, but I would like to hear from more of you. Send me your questions/needs and I'll work them in to future video tutorials.
I'm so excited about my Studio J Membership! I just ordered four layouts (8 pages total) for 1/2 off with FREE shipping, FREE page protectors, and FREE JPG files for the web and for printing. Studio J membership seriously rocks!
Although one of the main goals of Studio J is to do layouts quickly, I actually spent a lot of time on these two layouts about Kit. After losing her a week ago, I needed to scrapbook her stories to process my grief. I wanted to take the time to make sure these layouts honored her and expressed my love for her. I think they are pretty amazing...just like my sweet Kit!
We had a fantastic family photo shoot in Moscow at the end of July, and the CD with all the photos arrived today! I've been having fun playing with Photoshop and then importing the photos into Studio J. My 12-month Studio J membership starts next month, and you can be sure that I'm going to take full advantage of all the member benefits...such as FREE shipping once a month! I can't wait! My goal is scrapbook at least one Studio J layout a week since they are so quick and easy...assuming I don't spend a ton of time in Photoshop first. These quick layouts will (1) allow me to capture memories I don't ever want to forget, (2) help me to scrapbook more frequently, and (3) motivate me to use my classic supplies since I'll be in a scrapbooking groove.
In case you don't know, Studio J is FREE! That's right...FREE! Log in through my website and try it for yourself. You can test your photos against different paper packets and sketches before scrapbooking with your classic supplies. You don't pay a thing unless you want to purchase the layouts you created. If you love it as much as I do, let me know and I'll share the membership options with you.
I completed another batch of Studio J layouts and they are waiting to be filed away into albums. I love how quick and easy each layout comes together. The quality of the photos I used on the "Love Story" layout were really bad--complete user error--but the layout still looks great. I did journal about the fact that the photos are blurry so that anyone looking at the layout will know that they were used intentionally. My favorite LO is "Enjoy" which is a CTMH scraplift!
Close To My Heart’s Studio J will launch in a few months, and I can't wait to share it with everyone I know! Since I attended Leadership, I was given early access to Studio J but have only now had a chance to play with it. I placed my first order a few minutes ago and thought I would share my LOs here.
So, what the heck is Studio J?! It is a FREE online scrapbooking studio. It's like digital scrapbooking, but not nearly as time consuming, expensive, or difficult to use. You’ll be able to try the full, web-based program through my CTMH website when Studio J launches in March. Until then, enjoy this little sneak peek!
Good news--if you are a digi-scrapper, you can import PNG files to drop in the photo wells like I did here with Katie Pertiet's Postage Frame Clusters!
If you know nothing about digital scrapbooking, never fear...Studio J was designed just for you! The following LOs were designed in a flash; choosing my photos and writing my journaling was the longest part of the process.
