This month CTMH is offering a great special to honor the 5 year anniversary of Studio J®!!

1411-cc-lucky5

Last year I gave my first impressions on Studio J® {click here to read that post}, but I haven’t visited Studio J® since I had written then. But with the special that is being offered this month I knew this was the perfect time to dive right back in!

Here are the details for this month’s special:

First, throughout the month of November, all layouts purchased in Studio J® are $5! That is a savings of over 25% off of retail!

Your second chance to win big must come by sheer luck: every fifth order placed in Studio J® during November receives a FREE surprise Close To My Heart accessory in its shipping box! The accessory has a retail value of $5 or more.

If luck doesn’t smile on you in that way, you might stumble upon it by finding a little extra something in your Studio J® box. Five “golden tickets” will be sent out during the month of November with randomly selected Studio J print orders! This “golden ticket” is redeemable for one of Close To My Heart’s new D-ring albums loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors™.

For a fourth way to win, simply create new, gorgeous layouts in Studio J®, select your favorites, and then post pictures of them on Close To My Heart’s Facebook page using the hashtag #ctmhlucky5. After November 30, FIVE LUCKY WINNERS will be selected from the entries based on their artistry and creativity and each of these winners will receive their own D-ring album loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors!

And there is one last way to win: take your new Studio J® artwork and post a picture of it on Instagram using the hashtag #ctmhlucky5. Just as it is with Facebook, after November 30, FIVE LUCKY WINNERS will be selected from the entries to receive their own D-ring album loaded with 10 Top Load Memory Protectors!

To add to the fun, five brand new kits from the Annual Inspirations idea book will be made available in Studio J®, so you can create new artwork using the latest papers and embellishments from Close To My Heart.

Now let me give you a couple examples of the fun that Studio J® can bring!

The above layout is from the Studio J® Express Collection. There are predetermined layouts. You simply add your photos and text…layout complete. The above layout literally took 5 minutes to create, which is perfect for those of us who are short on time! The Express Collections also offer 12″x 12″ photo sheets in which you can print your photos in a variety of sizes. If you’re looking to express a little more creativity, Studio J® also offers Custom Layouts. You are in total control of the design….take a look below…

CTMH: Pathfinding Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

My project this month is based off this sketch. Starting with a Champagne Cardstock base I used a Waterbrush {retired} and Chocolate Exclusive Ink™ to create a splash pattern on the cardstock. I then added a layer of B&T from the Pathfinding Paper Packet to the top of the layout followed by a chevron zipstrip. Next I added my photos. {My son is so little here! These photos were taken Fall 2011. He was only 3….where has the time gone?!?! This is why I love scrapbooking- I love going through the old photos- seeing and remembering these special moments.} The border along the top edge of the photos is from One-Way Borders Stamp Set in second generation Chocolate Exclusive Ink™. I then used a {retired} tag set for the journaling & title. The title was created using the Vogue Alphabet Stamp Set and Chocolate Exclusive Ink™. The border of tags along the bottom edge of the photos was cut using another B&T Duo™ from the Pathfinding Paper Packet using the Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge. The strip of hearts is another zipstrip {LOVE zipstrips and they are on every B&T Duo™ in every paper packet} I also added multiple Pathfinding chipboard Complements & Pathfinding Assortments throughout the layout for the final touches.
