Studio J Helps Fight Depression

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 ...

I was a winner and I didn't even know it!

You may have noticed a gap in my blog from about July 2012 until now…sometimes events in life knock you out of the game and that's just what happened to me. I am building a new life and I knew that when I started scrapbooking again this summer, I was on my way. So, I joined Close To My Heart again as an Independent Consultant. It felt so good to reconnect with my dear sweet upline Jillene Moen and our Loony Scrappers community. Of course I love the Close To My Heart products and find that I can create anything I want to with them. From Workshops On The Go, Studio J, our exclusive Cricut cartridges and coming soon our Picture My Life products my creative possibilities are unlimited. So here I sit in my new studio. I've begun blogging again. I am building my new life piece by piece (or should I say scrap by scrap?). Yesterday I visited one of my favorite sites, Let's Scrap. I love their sketch challenges. They help me to stretc...
