This week I was feeling depressed after returning from a trip to Seattle where I spent time with Daniel, Tiffany and Laura. Tom and I had time to relax and do a few Seattle things so of course I took pictures. I uploaded my pictures but the thought of cleaning up my space to start scrapbooking was overwhelming. Then I got the idea to do some Studio J layouts. The pictures of my loved ones lifted my spirits. Picking the layout components felt a bit like shopping, which can be good therapy. By the end of the week my depression had lifted quite a bit. I think I'm back on track and now I have something to look forward to - the arrival of my layouts. Instant gratification=jpegs! Here are my layouts! If you click on them you can see them full size. I hope they bring you some cheer. If you have questions about Studio J visit my CTMH website or contact me. If you sometimes battle depression, you are not alone. Help and encouragement are available. Here's an article from suite

Okay, so I still also love classic scrapbooking. Last week I completed my Maui scrapbook. Tom said it was beautiful and romantic (which is also a good description of the trip). I used The moon doggie paper packet throughout the book. Here are some of the pages. If you want to complete a scrapbook project but don't know where to start, contact me. I'd love to show you how

The new features for studio J are terrific. I created 5 two-page layouts in one day! As I worked I kept discovering new features. These are some of the the things I discovered: "Members Only"Benefits New Easy photo editing options Lots of new color options (like turning the Background & Texture papers from full color to a matching single color or solid Great Lower pricing As well as all of the things listed on page 7 of the new Fall/Winter Idea Book. Studio J is definitely the way to be that elusive Scrapbooking term so many desire - "Caught Up". Then, when I purchased my projects I was delighted with my total!

This month's Stamp Of The Month is particularly cool and different from the normal CTMH style. The card pictured is designed by Cori Rovang. Cori is actually pictured on the flyer for the stamp of the month - she is the one on the right! The paper used is from the Hooligans set. So many uses! I love the colors for layouts of my non-girlie girl daughter. Check it out on pages 16-19 of the idea book! And be sure not to miss the coordinating felt Hooligans on page 91! I'm buying them just to add to my cheering squad! For the first time Workshops on the Go are pictured in the Idea Book( page 24). These are great kits to have on hand when you want everything in one kit so you can 'grab and go' when heading out to a crop or when you are low on ideas! They come with an exclusive stamp set that coordinates with the paper but cannot be purchased separately, a Level 2 paper pack, a coordinating embellishment kit and step by step instructions. The instructions show you a 2 page l
