pretty in pink

Ok here is just another reason to love Studio J scrapbooking.  I was able to customize this layout to add a pink photo mat.  The Wonderland paper kit mix I selected for these pictures uses greys, blues, white and even a lavender color but no pink.  I needed to add just a touch of pink to make it flow better with the pink stocking hat.  In Studio J you are able to switch things around and customize to fit your pictures and personality. Brilliant!!  And remember there is no start up fees, nothing to download, nothing to pay to get started creating with this amazing program.  You can play and create to your hearts content.  You pay only when you want your layout to be printed and sent to you.  Go ahead and try it here.

Bonus!! Only in February you get 5 for Free!!  For each Studio J 5 pack you purchase, you'll get another 5 pack for free!!  Order your 5 pack here

family dinner idea

Keep a jar of strips of paper with conversation starters on the dinner table.  Take turns taking out each one and discuss.   

all caught up on scrapbooking

My daughter is almost a year old and I have captured all her special first moments and they are all scrapped and documented and safely tucked away in an album on my bookshelf. Now before you start to think I am some kind of super over-achieving mom I'll be the first to set you straight. I have a secret weapon, it's called Studio J. It's an online scrapbook program. It's web-based so nothing extra to purchase and nothing to download. It's available to you anytime and anywhere you can get internet access.

It's even better right now since you can get a free 5 pack for each one purchased in February. It's a fantastic deal!

For some reason I can't get any of my photos to download or for the links to work on my blog. Once it gets sorted out I'll post them for you to look at.

In the meantime feel free to check out the Studio J on my website at www.cherielynn.myctmh.com

Contact me if you are interested in snapping up some of the five packs. They are $55 and you'll get 5 completed two page 12x12 layouts plus the page protectors so you can load them right into your album plus free shipping. For each 5 pack you'll get another 5 pack free. I just ordered three sets of them so I got 30 layouts, woo hoo. Have any questions just ring me 720.988.7687 or drop me an e-mail create@awescrap.com Be sure to check back in a day or two to see the fun layouts I did.

If your home is over run by stuffed toys here is a great cause to donate to.  SAFE, stuffed animals for emergencies gives gently used stuffed animals to homeless shelters, hospitals, and emergency aid workers.  Children are given these soft toys by first responders when they meet their calls.  How nice to do a little clean up for such a great cause.  Get your kids involved and help make the donations to these kids in need.

neat and tidy

I love this tower to keep all my inks organized.  It holds 60 ink pads plus 76 markers.  It has a swivel base so all my inks are within reach.  The tray has all my often used items and is also a handy way to keep stuff up off my work table to keep make way for current projects. It even has a convenient carrying case to make transporting all my inks a breeze.

tuesday's technique - masking

Masking is the way to create a dimensional or layered look.  This technique will help your stamped art look like your images are in front ir behind each other.  You'll do this by creating a "mask".  Start by stamping the desired image.  Now stamp it again on scrap paper (i love using Post It notes with their sticky bit).  Cut out the scrap, this will be the mask.  Now just place this mask over the original image to protect it from being stamped on and stamp your second impression.  When you remove the mask it will reveal that the second image looks like it is behind the first.  Neat-o!

My personal reccomendation is to select stamps that are fairly easy to cut out and not too intricate for this particular technique.
