What a Girl

This fun Studio J Layout was a fun one to do. I took my young teenage grandaughter out on our own little mini photo shoot. We had so much fun. It was great to be able to create this layout so quickly. Notice the heart made from buttons. Do you wonder how i got that almost perfect. Take a MY STICKEASE shape and put it on your page where you want you button outline. Add the buttons evenly all the way around. Then add the string to each button. When you are all done, delete the sticker. It goes away and leaves the button image. Voila..... how fun!!! Try it yourself. You will love it.

More Inspiration from Studio J

With Studio J scrapbooking you can change the color of your paper, or accents and embellishments. I changed these accents to yellow to bring out the yellow in the dresses. Notice too how one of the 'my stickease' on the left side is small making a tab, and the one on the right is expanded large to form a journaling box. OH SO MUCH FUN

Look at this fun idea using the same photo

This fun layout was created using the same photo on the right page lower corner, and dropping it into 4 photo wells. Enlarged to 163% then 'put together' like a puzzle to create this fun look!!! You need to try this! It is a blast.

What a FUN PRODUCT!!! Color Ready Kraft Borders!

Check out these Darling fun Kraft Color Ready Borders! There are 50 borders in each package for only $5.95 (order number Z1377) They are self adhesive and can be sponged to different colors to accent your projet. Each border is 12" long. I just L O V E these!!!

You Know you are a Scrapbooker when.....

I attended a special event of a friend yesterday. It was a happy occassion. As I sat in the crowded room and watched the couple involved, I noticed they both had on khaki shirts. My thought was..... GREAT!!! they wore close that went together well. They will look GREAT in a scrapbook layout. I did tell them my thoughts as I congratulated them. They giggled and said, it wasnt even planned. I told them to get lots of pictures and be sure to scrapbook the day. Too funny. Have you ever done that???? Do you 'dress your kids' for the occassion with layouts in mind????

Through the eyes of a child

I have been tending our grandson this weekend. Ya know, when you are the grandma, and not the mom, you just seem to watch them and their curiosity and wonder a little closer than when you have all the 'mom' duties. They are so fun to watch. He just finds delight in everything!!! We watched our 16 month old the other day. So curious, so busy, so cute as they develope their personality. I am so glad we have so many ways to preserve these precious memories. How are you preserving yours? I would love to help you in any way!
