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

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.

it's impossible

Its impossible to tickle yourself.

it's impossible to hold a basketball and not want to bounce it.

It's impossible (for me at least) to drive the speed limit.

It's impossible to make a window look really, really clean.

It's impossible to move your leg in a clockwise circle and simultaneously draw a "6".  It's impossible to not try it now!

It's impossible to get married and not have your photos show up on Facebook.

Speaking of pictures...it IS POSSIBLE to finally get your pictures in a scrapbook.  I am a photo medic and I can help you rescue your pictures and precious memories once and for all and get them in an album to treasure for a lifetime.  You can also do this and SAVE MONEY!  With Studio J online studio scrapbooking you get one free layout for every 9 you purchase in January.  Seriously let's get this thing started!  Contact me and I can show you how.  E-mail me at create@awescrap.com for personal assistance.

perfect 10

 

Have you tried Studio J scrapbooking with Close To My Heart yet?  In January you'll get 1 free layout for every nine, hence a perfect 10!! I never knew how much I would love this product. I love getting my hands "dirty" with papers, glues, stamps, and inks: but you know what? Life got in the way...somewhere in between doing laundry, changing diapers, and running a business. And guess what else? I have an awesome scrapbook for my daughter (the envy of all who see it) AND I'm all caught up AND I've given copies of my pages to Lexi's Grandparents, Birthparents, and God-parents...all at the click of a mouse. I know studio digital scrapbooking isn't everyone's cup of tea but if you are drowning and overwhelmed with all the scrapbooking on your to-do wishlist it's time to come to grips. I am beyond thrilled at the relief of staying current with my scrapbooking and you can too!! I am getting more pictures than ever and am on a first name basis with the staff at kiddie kandids. They know all I am interested in is the digital images, we shoot, I'm out the door with my CD and can be scrapping the moment I walk in the door. So simple, so easy, no fuss, no muss!! I even have the time to create some special hand-crafted extra-special wowie pages that I display in my home. Without the ease and time-saving I get from getting pages done in Studio J this would never be possible.

If you have questions and want to talk or would like to have a free personalized session I am just a phone call away. Really! Your memories are too important and so is your time. Believe me I understand. If you want to finally get serious about your scrapbooks (or lack of) this perfect 10 promo is just a step in the right direction. Save money, save time, save your sanity!!
