Studio J Is Fun & Easy!

Nothing is more fun than spending a cold Midwest winter day scrapbooking wonderful memories of activities with our girls into Studio J layouts!

Close To My Heart's online program, Studio J, has a wide variety of paper selections and embellishments. It makes everything easy, fun, and quick!

Just being able to put these memories into albums for our family members is such a rewarding feeling. I know the girls will treasure them forever as they grow up and browse their albums. It's so fun to hear their giggles and comments. "Remember when we ...?" Oh, yes. It's imprinted into my "mind albums" too!

Tips for growing and stretching out of your comfort zone: Remember to add your faith statements, Scripture verses, prayers, and wishes to your pages ... and scrapbook the challenging, sad, sorrow-filled, and rough times too. Your layouts will reflect your beliefs and values and be a testimony/Christian witness to your family for their future!

I hope you enjoyed a happy Valentine's Day! Jesus says, "Love each other as I have loved you." (John 15:12 NCV)  I have a layout in the works to reflect the love of the Lord in my life.

God bless. He is always good all the time!

5. Quality SHINES! Studio J layouts are printed with the same silver halide process and 100-year+ paper used by top photo printing companies, so your prints will last for generations.
