Birthday Quiz Book

Usually I wait until the weekend to share with you the books I create, but this one couldn't wait. I'm so thrilled on how it came out!

This birthday quiz book is filled with 36 pages. There are 18 birthday quizes like the one picture above and 18 pages for photos to go along with that year's quiz.  I had a great time formating the pages that were predesigned by the customer. Isn't it just the coolest birthday book ever?

I'm thinking of adding a few of these to the shop where you can pick your cover, what do you think?

Tomorrow I'll be back with sneak peeks of the goodies you'll find at the Holiday Artisian Market at the Pajama Factory this Friday!

Tuesday's Card Video

It took me most of the day, but I'm so proud of myself. Granted, I still have lots of room for improvement when it comes creating video tutorials, but hey this one had music!

And, they say practice makes perfect, so I'm off to practice. Much more the wiser, I promise the next tutorial won't be upside down. Boy has offered to be my cameraman. He's such a sweetie to help his Mom.

Tomorrow I'll be in the studio setting up for Friday's open house event at the Pajama Factory. It's their 2nd annual Holiday Artisian Market. Lots of food, crafts, art, music and fun. What better way to spend a Friday night, right?

Give The Gift of Scrapbooking This Christmas

Today begins the offical kick off to Christmas shopping. I'm happy to say I'm almost done. :) But for those of you out searching for the perfect gift this Christmas, I wanted to share this one special thoughtful idea.

Do you know someone who loves the handmade creations of your scrapbook layouts and cards? Are they always saying they wish they could be that talented or have the time to create their own scrapbook layouts?

Instead of just any old gift card this Christmas, why not give a friend or family member their very own passport to perserving memories and discovering their creativity?

Starting today, when you purchase a Studio J membership or layout gift card from my site, you'll receive the stocking gift card holder FREE as my special gift to you. :)

Why Studio J?

For those on your Christmas list this year who admire your scrapbook pages, love perserving memories, and don't have time for traditional scrapbooking... introduce them to a whole new way of creativity and creating their very own scrapbooks - digitally.

Each year, I make digital scrapbook layouts and place them in an album for my husband's father. It's become a treasured gift throughout the years.

Now you can give someone else the gift to create their own digital scrapbook layouts and have them printed and sent straight to their home.

Studio J memberships are available here
along with gift cards for 5- two page layouts with memory protecters here (includes shipping and handling).

Happy Holiday Shopping Everyone!

Thankful For You All

I just wanted to post how much I appreciate you all and how thankful I am for all you. I love working with each and every one of you to customize your book designs according to your color schemes and event themes.

As many of you know, I began this business a few years ago as a way to contribute to the piling medical bills of my daughter Bella. I can't get over how much she, like my book business has grown in so little time. I love the process of creating handmade books. Just as much as I love meeting new people and working with all my customers to create designs that are especially for them.

When I make a book, it's more than just the colors of the cover and the inside pages, it's about the person, the couple, that the book is intended for that counts. I can't help squeezing something a little extra between the pages, and no dear friends we're not taking about paper. I mean the thought, the customization, the getting to know you and putting that little bit of my customer's personality into their creation.

I'm thankful for this talent that I have to share, for all of you whom have made my little business possible, and for your continous support to come throughout the new year.

God Bless
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Holiday Christmas Card Video

Sorry about no post yesterday. I had planned on sitting down in the morning after the kiddos were off at school to share a new video with you all when I got a phone call and had to rescue a family member out of a jam. Needless to say, by the time I got home it was time to pick the kids back up from school and the day was gone.

But what is family for? And today I have to say I'm especially thankful for good friends, too.

So without out any further delay... here is yesterday's holiday card tutorial video for you all.

Christianing Book

Last week, I finished up this custom order for a special christianing. I couldn't wait to share it with you all. It's so sweet!

The inside pages are full lined with "Blessings for Baby Colton" writing on top and a small line on the bottom for the Guest to sign after writing their special message for the baby to read when he's older!

Tomorrow I'll be back with a new project for Christmas and Tuesday's we'll have a video by yours truelly! Yeah!

See Ya Later!
