Four Scrapbook Layouts Using Studio J

Posted on by

Since I was out of town, but wanted to get a scrapbook page done each day for the Layout A Day challenge, I decided to turn to the Studio J free online software from Close to My Heart. I knew I had plenty of digital photos, and Studio J would be easy to access while I was away!

When I get ready to create a scrapbook page, I often look through my photos and find some that I haven’t done anything with, but I want to make sure the story gets told. This week I created a page of my daughter’s graduation, a firetruck ride my grandson took, and my granddaughter’s t-ball experience last summer, and photos of a crashed car and new car of another daughter.

The most recent event was a graduation.

This layout uses the digital kit, Notebook and the layout is 6-photo, Through the Lens.

tball digital scrapbook layout
This next layout is my granddaughter while playing t-ball during the summer. This is from the digital kit Discovery, using the 7-photo layout Sweet Symphony. I guess my time spent with cameras shows in my journaling, as I spelled “cannon” as “canon,” making it a camera. Luckily I can go back in and fix the  mistake before I print the pages!

This final layout shows photos of not only a new car my daughter got, but the reason why. A friend of mine said it was sure a pretty layout for such photos! Might as well make it better looking, right? This layout used the digital kit LaBelle Vie, and the 4-photo layout Leading Lady.

If you’d like to find out more about Studio J and how to use it, please let me know by signing up below and you’ll have access to our live and recorded sessions showing what’s it all about and how to create layouts. During each session, we’ll walk through a specific kit and do a layout! Hope to see you there!

iScrap-n-Snap April Sketch Challenge

iScrap-n-Snap April Sketch Challenge

Some people create their scrapbook pages based on different online challenges that they participate in. Beth over at ScrappingWonders.com has started having a monthly challenge.  Beth is a great source for learning how to work with your mobile phone to actually use all those pictures you take with it.  She regularly does reviews of apps that are very useful for just that!

The April scrapbook page has a template to use, as well as an idea for a color palette in honor of Earth Day this month.  You will find information about the challenge here.  This month’s sponsor is Cara from CaraMiller.com.  If you like to do any die cutting, you’ll be interested in finding out more about Cara’s Whisper products!  Cara even has a digital template for Beth’s challenge, if you like to do digital!

Once you’ve created your page, and uploaded it, go back to Beth’s site and link it up on this page.  Just go towards the bottom of the page, and you’ll see the little thumbnail pictures of people’s pages.  Under the last picture, you’ll see a little bluish button that says, “Add Your Link.”  Click that and add your info!

It not fun to play alone!  Above is my page I’ve made for the iScrap-n-Snap April challenge.  Once you see the sketch, you’ll notice that I turned the sketch 90 degrees so that it would better fit my pictures. You could also you 2 or 3 pictures and use 1 or 2 of the areas for journaling. That’s the beauty of a sketch!  You can really do so many things with it. We talked about varying how you might use a template here.

I can’t believe how old these pictures are.  I always remember it was a great day, but never have gotten the pictures onto a page.  I am also making a companion page to this that has more of the “people” pictures from this event.

What pictures will you use for the challenge?
