Studio J June 2007

I've been working on Studio J layouts since last February.  I figured I'd better get in and finish a couple more and order them.  Couldn't resist with this month's great special!  Studio J members can buy 9 layouts and get one FREE!  Not a Studio J member yet?  February's special will be perfect for you.  You can buy a 5-pack of layouts and get a 5-pack FREE!  That's 10 two page layout, including page protectors and shipping for just $55.  It's the perfect time to try Studio J.  

I love Studio J because it uses the same embellishments and papers as my regular pages, so when they are in my scrapbooks alongside regular l layouts, you can't tell the difference unless you run your hand across the page.  I also love that you can play with Stickease, titles, and paper colors.  So much choice and fun.  

I placed my order last night, so I have 13 layouts to share over the next few days.  When you order the layouts, you get a free JPEG file of your layouts to share.  These first two layouts I was digging back through old photos I hadn't scrapbooked.  They are from June of 2007.  I can't believe how little the boys are.  It makes me sad to see how fast they are growing up!

Rock the Block Valentine's Blocks

I haven't had a whole lot of time to play my Rock the Block set, but I did get one side done today.  I want to use mine to be year-round decor for either my fireplace mantel or entertainment center.  I am planning to create the following six sides:

1) Valentine's Day

2) Spring/Easter

3) Summer/Fourth of July

4) Halloween

5) Thanksgiving

6) I haven't decided.  Originally, I though Christmas, but I have so much Christmas decor, I'm thinking maybe just a general family theme.  

I'll post them as I finish.  Here's the Valentine's themed side.  I used retired Sweetheart papers (on clearance now on my website).  I also used Mad About You (December SOTM) and Rock the Block stamps. The hearts and letters were cut on the Cricut.  

Remember, you can get the blocks and the exclusive E-sized stamp set for just $15 with a $25 purchase.  It's a great deal for the stamp set alone!

What's Happening in January

Pair-a-Phrase Artwork and National Stamping Month Special

There has never been a better time to place a CTMH order.  We are offering so many specials, it's unbelievable!  Starting today, when you order $75, you earn the Pair-a-Phrase DOUBLE stamp set for FREE!  This stamp set has so many adorable images and sentiments.  I want to share a couple of my favorites today.  First up, is the adorable owl.  I used Lucky papers and Twill ribbon for this guy.

This card used the same image and sentiments, but I used the new Mischief papers and several elements front he Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I cut the fun border and sentiment frame with the cartridge.

The last card for today uses the snowman image.  I kept this one really simple, just using Twilight cardstock and my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.

Here's the full view of the images and sentiments in the Pair-a-Phrase set.  You can click to make it larger.

Now I said lots of great deals, Pair-a-Phrase is the first.

Your $75 purchase also qualifies you for the Stamp of the Month Special.  For $5, you can get the August SOTM, Wicked.  Plus this month only, when you order the Stamp of the Month, you get a FREE alphabet set.  

If you've been thinking of ordering the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, this would be the time to do it.  For $99, you get the cartridge, three coordinating stamp sets, and coordinating chipboard pieces.  Ordering this, plus the additional $5 for the SOTM, would give you and additional four stamp sets.  What a deal!



Not sure you want to spend $99 for the Cricut bundle?  Host a party with $250 in orders, and you can get the Art Philosophy bundle for 50% off!  Contact me for more information!
