The rest of the layout

These are the final steps in creating my layout:

Stamp the title then cut it out (I love the cutting part)

Move the dog again

Lay everything out

I inked the edges of the papers. I decided to ink the edges of the photos because there was not a lot of contrast between the photos and the background.

Laid everything out again and decided to change the left part of the title because

I just didn't like it and I changed the color of one of the pinwheels for better balance. You can see I cut some clouds out from my patterned paper and used foam tape to pop them up. This is an easy and inexpensive way to make your own embellishments that coordinate with your project.

A few more details and now it is complete. Happy National Scrapbook Day!

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
