I've had so many wonderful comments on my Studio J Christmas cards. Thanks so much! Since we are all so busy this time of year, I've decided to make it easier for you to create the cards, or for consultants, to offer them to their customers for only $10.
Here are the four layouts:
Mistletoe
Pear and Partridge
Sparkle and Shine
Yuletide Carol
When you order, you will receive the top quality jpg files. You will simply drop them back into Studio J and add your photos. Full instructions will be included in your files. You will then order the prints from Studio J and you will receive the top quality prints from Close To My Heart.
After payment, you will receive your files via email.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.
It's getting close to that time! Can you believe Thanksgiving is less that two weeks away? And, we all know that as soon as Thanksgiving is over, it's Christmas! Have you thought about your Christmas cards yet? I have!
Look at these cute photo Christmas cards I created using CTMH's Studio J software.
Pair and Partridge
Mistletoe
Sparkle and Shine
Yuletide Carol
Each set includes eight 4" x 8" cards, plus two random 4" x 4" photos. Let me do the work for you. Simply send me the photo that you have chosen for your cards, plus two random photos for the 4" x 4" slots. Minimum order is 4 of the double pages, mix and match. This is a deal with the $5 Studio J special. You'll get 32 cards for $20 plus shipping and tax. That's only a little more than $.60 a card, plus you will have some that are different from the standard photo cards sold in the stores.
Use Studio J®, Close To My Heart's online scrapbooking software, to create a festive layout in just minutes by watching this month's Love Your Layout(sm) video. You'll learn creative techniques on how to add your own stitching, create a top border with journaling, and more. Log in to Studio J to create it yourself while you watch!
The paper packet used for this layout is Pear & Partridge. I loved that paper! Be sure to check out the layouts and cards I created with it. Pear & Partridge is no longer available in the paper pack, but it's always available on Studio J® to do your holiday layouts.
Good morning! I think it's still morning here :) I'm sorry that I have been neglecting my blog lately. I need to get back into the swing of it!! I will!
First thing today, I need to brag a bit. :) For Christmas this year, I got a Roku box for my husband...see...I can't watch tv with him as he can't stay on a channel more than one minute at a time. Drives me nuts! I tell him he must have the strongest index finger in the world from all that button pushing :) Anyway, he usually watches tv in the kitchen, so I got a box for that tv. I scored one! It's so hard to find something for him for Christmas, as it is for me, as we usually just buy what we want when we want or need it. So, now that he's got the Roku box and there must be 1000 old time western movies, he's no longer interested in having cable. It seems like the cable channels play the same things over, and over, and over again! Take "The Green Mile" for instance, it's been on just about every day/night for as long as I can remember. LOL!
He had an epiphany and thinks we should cancel our cable, with the exception of the basic package that gives us local channels. Me...I'm not so sure! LOL! I watch a number of shows on the USA Network, some on TNT, A& E, AMC and Lifetime. Now..what can I do to watch these programs, yet save us $100 a month? We just got a brand new 42" tv and now all I'll have is local programming. LOL! That said, probably 80% of my tv watching is on local channels...but, I'm going to miss my DVR!! I looked online to see how to hook my computer to the new tv and found out I already had the cable. YEA! Hooked it up this morning and it's looking pretty good. Only problem was, the sound was still coming from the computer instead of the tv. Off to Google again! I found a couple of options...after spending about an hour trying to change settings on the computer. Then off to the basement to see what other cables/cords I have that might work. Found one, hooked it into the computer and the tv and we are rocking it! Now I just need to figure out how long these channels keep their current episodes online. My only regret is I'll have to watch commercials again, rather than fast forwarding through them :) Of course, if that's all I have to worry about, I'm a lucky gal!! So, that's my brag for the day! :)
If you would like a chance to be a guest artist, please send me a link to artwork on your blog, or, if you have no blog, email me pictures of some of your art. Put Guest Artist in your subject line.
On the first of every month, I will choose the guest artist for that month.
Upon choosing the artists, I will send you one of Close To My Heart's Workshop on the Go kits.
You will need to create the featured layout in the kit (you may jazz
it up or put your own spin on it). Then, with all the products left
over in the kit, you'll make as many items as you can. You may choose
to do another two page layout and some cards, or a one page layout
& cards, only cards, or choose something of your own to alter.You
will have until the 15th of the month to get all of this done :)
When you finish creating, you will send me photos of everything
you've created so that I can post them on my blog. If you have a blog,
you'll also post them there.
You'll get high praise and recognition on my blog.
Does this sound like something you'd like to do? If so, send me your
blog link or photos of your artwork.
Boy, does it seem to you like the weekends keep coming faster and faster? It seems like every time I turn around it's Sunday again. LOL! Yea..I know...it's not Sunday yet, but it will be before I know it! My mom used to say how fast the weeks went by. As a kid, I could never understand it as there's 24 hours in every day. I sure know now what she was talking about!
I'm headed to the basement for a day of sewing. What are you doing this weekend? Hope it's something FUN!!!
******************************************************************************* Just a quick reminder of a couple of things going on right now.
Christmas Card Workshop
I've been busy last weekend making Christmas cards! I love how they turned out. I started with the CTMH Pear and Partridge Workshop on the Go kit. Then, (as Carson Kressley says) I tjuzed them. LOL! This is a quick and easy workshop!
The kit contains enough products to create 15 cards, 5 each of 3 designs. The cards in the front are the basic cards described in the color brochure you receive with your kit. The second and third cards of each design have been tjuzed. I'm not sure if you can tell with the picture, but, I dry embossed with my Cuttlebug or ran the cranberry card stock pieces through my crimper on others. I matted some parts with New England Ivy card stock. Be sure to click on the pictures to get a better look at the cards.
Included in the kit:
1 – My Acrylix® Pear & Partridge Cardmaking Workshop Stamp Set (C-size)
2 – Pear & Partridge B&T Duos® Papers
4 – Cardstock Sheets (Cranberry, Colonial White, 2 Cocoa)
15 – Colonial White Cards & Envelopes
1 – Red Glitter Gems (108 pieces)
1 – Tan Twill Ribbon (5 yards)
1 – Instructional Brochure
Some basic tools you may already have, such as inks, stamp blocks, or tools are needed to complete this project.
Would you like to make these cards? There's plenty of time to get them done! Whether you are local or across the country, you can do these cards!

I just finished playing around in Studio J®. Yes, there are other things I should be doing, but you know how it is when the creative bug hits. I just had to let it out before heading to the shower to re-caulk it. LOL! Anyway, here's the layout I just created using CTMH's Pear & Partridge paper packet.
While my layout was created digitally with Studio J®, you can easily reproduce it using paper products. The products you can use are:
