Studio J - I Heart Snow

I never realized how much Donner patrolled his yard until winter when the snow recorded his travels.  After one particular snowfall, I looked out into the yard and saw what appeared to be most of a heart.

This layout was created in Studio J using the In Focus sketch, rotated, and the Sweetheart kit with the Black and Cotton Candy cardstock switched.

Studio J - The Day After

I wasn't sure how I was going to scrapbook these random photos I took during and after the snow.  Studio J made it easy to quickly pull together an attractive layout that shows off my photos and captures my memories.

This is the Backstage layout, with the pages swapped (right to left and left to right), and the (now) right page rotated.

Studio J - First Snow

One of the many things I like about Studio J is that I can use photos that may not be good enough to be featured but that I don't want to exclude from my layouts (like some of those pics of Donner enjoying the snow from his vantage point in the garage) - and it allows me to resize and crop the photos on-the-fly. 

This is the Primadonna layout with each page rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees with the Aspen kit.

Sweet Surprises

I have a workshop this afternoon called Sweet Surprises to showcase both the wonderful simplicity of Close to My Heart's My Originals Sweet Surprises Treat Cards,

the whimsy of the Dotty for You paper packet, and the variety in the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.

Pemberley Magic Layout

In March, the Magic Layout Workshop used the Pemberley paper and embellishments to create the Parlor sketch.

The envelope on the right page can be used to stash programs, tickets, receipts, additional photos, journaling, or anything else you can think of!

Supplies:

• Pemberley Paper Packet
• Pemberley My Stickease Assortment
• My Acrylix Love Clusters
• Bouquet Assortment
• My Acrylix Large Friendship Alphabet
• Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Studio J - Disney's Boardwalk Inn

Someday I'd like to stay at Disney's Boardwalk Inn, but for now I'll settle for visits to the property.  Their lobby had this giant edible gazebo featuring Daisy, Donald, and Stitch.  Note that there are thirteen (13) photos on this two-page layout. 

This layout uses the Snappy sketch, rotated, with the Jingle kit.

Studio J - Disney's Grand Floridian

When we were at Walt Disney World last November/December, I made a point of visiting various hotels to see their trees and lobby decorations.  The Grand Floridian is decorated in traditional Victorian fashion, but there's also a near-life-size, completely edible gingerbread house in the lobby.

I had taken pictures of the decorative stained glass details in the windows of the gingerbread house and really liked how this layout allowed me to showcase them in the trapezoidal shapes on the outside edges of the pages.

 

The top layout uses the Understudy sketch and the both uses the Sideline Surprise sketch, both with the Mistletoe kit.
