For those of you unfamiliar with Studio J, I would encourage you to check out my past post here and the main site to learn more. In a nutshell, it is a FREE, online digital scrapbooking program from Close To My Heart. I am excited to say that I have completed a dozen + layouts in the last two days after dedicating about 6 hours in total. That is pretty impressive considering it normally takes me two hours for a two pg layout in traditional scrapbooking. While I would never totally give up traditional scrapbooking, I am pretty darn satisfied! Check out a few of my layouts :)

I hope you enjoyed my layouts! Have a great rest of your weekend!

My layout uses one of my new favorite paper packs called “Grace.” The colors and designs are very warm and trendy. These photos of my friends and I have been sitting and waiting for the perfect paper until I the moment I received this paper pack! I knew it had to be used for this occasion and it worked out perfectly!

–RECIPE–
Paper: Grace
Accessories: Buttons and Pearls ** (See Below for how you can earn your set of Adhesive Pearls!!!)

I used my Slice to cut out different sized flowers and then crumpled them up for some texture. The cluster of pearls or stacked buttons were the perfect finishing touch.

Now “Hop” on over to Lori Scott’s Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and see the great new Paper Packs and My Acrylix Stamp Sets!
