Studio J makes capturing moments fast and easy....and done!

 This past week we had a special event happen in the Fleming household when our youngest daughter had her second son.  So I took some of the hospital pictures and made a few captured memories. These are special to us, but might bore someone who isn't a grandparent. The joy for me is doing the pages simply and fast using Studio J so I can have more time to actually enjoy the grand kids!  Always Alayne

 

 

What memories do you want to capture this week?  Use Studio j your way....and if you need help contact me at Alayneswillinghands@gmail.com for a free tutorial.

Picture My Life: Blossom and For Always Transition

 

Picture My Life cards come in a variety of themes and colors, but sometimes you might want to make your own cards using one of your favorite paper packs.  Here I used the Blossom paper pack and stickease to create some simple pages for my Michigan trip I took recently.  I used a few stamped images and some washi tape also decorated some of the cards.  When I was ready to transition into the For Always cards I just used some paper from Blossom and some For Always cards on the same 2 page layout.  There is no reason you can't add any cards or paper together on your layouts.
