I recently tried out CTMH’s Studio J which is CTMH’s version of digital/online scrapbooking. I am a hands on scrapbooker. I like the feel of the paper, cutting the paper, the dimension effect of embellishments so to be 100% honest I was leery on whether or not I would like digital/online scrapbooking.

Well…I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked what Studio J had to offer!!!

Here is a look at the layouts I created using Studio J….

Here is a little info for those of you who are not familiar with Studio J.  Studio J uses the same great paper patterns, colors, and embellishments as classic Close To My Heart scrapbooking. There is NO need to download or purchase any software. You only need a web browser that supports Adobe Flash and an Internet connection, and then you simply log in on my Online Business Address to get started. (Click on the “Products” tab, and then click on “Studio J-Online Scrapbooking”.)

One of the biggest and best benefits that I found was by using Studio J I didn’t have to print or enlarge any of my photos. My photos were printed directly onto the layout! I LOVED that!  I was also very impressed with the print quality of the layouts.

Another great benefit is you can choose how detailed you want to be when designing the layouts. There are “Express Collections” which means you choose from completed layouts; just add your photos, title and print!! Or you can “Create Your Own Custom Layout”. You choose your own kit; pattern, and embellishments to make your layout one of a kind! Studio J layouts can be created quickly for those who are limited on time, but also have many flexible options for artists who want a custom look.
