I keeping with our Sangria Theme this month, I wanted to share the layout as it is on Studio J. I also used the left side of this layout in a Facebook post with a darling little girl. I love how the focal picture on the left could be an explanation for the pictures on the right side. We have been doing Sangria in our Sketches this month, how are you feeling about the color theme? do you like the layouts? Have you tried them??
Leave a message and let me know!
I hope your Monday is starting out well. Last week I showed you the first layout in the Studio J Express Collection of Sangria. Today I have the 2nd layout for you. Please remember, if you want to do these layouts in Studio J, our digital scrapbook program, you only have 2 months they are available and then they are gone forever. I love Studio J for ideas, then you can add your own twist to make it your own.
This is such a sweet color set for a family of girls, but what do you think if you have a family of boys? Leave a comment below and let me know!
Our mailboxes don’t usually come with nice surprises. If you are like me, you set your bills and such up online so you don’t have to deal with them in the mailbox, and let’s face it… it is easier. But wouldn’t it be nice if when we did make the trip to the mailbox there was a beautiful card waiting to be opened with YOUR name on it ! I think we forget about snail mail sometimes, but just think of the smile on that person’s face when they see it. It is time to take back sending cards and making people smile. Every Thursday I will post a card sketch that is pretty easy to put together even if you are a beginner. I hear you.. “That’s easy for you to say!”. But what if I can guarentee you that you can make a beautiful card? Would you give it a try? That is my challenge to all of you. Here is a sketch to start you off with.
When your card is completed, send me a copy via text @ 801-597-4896 or e-mail and be entered into the monthly drawing for a Oldie but Goodie Stamp Set.
If you need help in how to get started, let me know. I am happy to create a set of tutorials taking you from the very beginning!
Start with a piece of cardstock of your choice and cut to 5 1/2 ” x 8 1/2″ and fold it in half. Next is a rectangle 3″ x 4 1/2″ use a punch for the bottom and go from there. What’s that I hear? You don’t have any tools to even get this far? Click on the links and take a look. Yes, some you can get at a local craft store with a coupon, but will they get online and help you out? I can always jump on Skype and show you what you need! Call me if you need help!! 801-597-4896
Memory keeping is about celebrating relationships. Whether you do it by just taking the pictures or by scrapbooking you are recording those great memories for your world to see. Family is important, whether it be your immediate family or your extended family. You might not think that recording those every day family moments are important to record but let me 
tell you a little story about a young man who was fascinated with bees. When he saw a picture of our great grandmother.
Here is a short video about celebrating relationships.
Leave me a comment below and tell me your thoughts on the subject of memory keeping.
It’s Motivational Monday so are you ready for some motivation for your scrapbooks? Today’s sketch is taken from the Studio J files. Do you do any digital scrapbooking? I know there are a lot of people that don’t have the time to scrapbook all their photos, but still want the ability to display their photos in a nice album. Studio J is just the ticket for those times. It is important to remember that Studio J is a limited time product and will be going away for good. If you have a project you want to do, you will want to get started soon because you only have until April to get things all finished. If you need to be more hands on, and feel and cut your way to a scrapbook page, studio J can also help with layout planning. Take a created layout like the one I have here and then duplicate it in paper. I will talk more about Studio J later this week, but if you want to check it out a bit, I do have a couple videos you might like to watch
Now, what you come to Creatively Carol for on a Monday Morning… Motivational Monday Sketch!
I look forward to seeing what you do with this sketch for yourself! Don’t forget to enter for a free stamp set by SEND ME THOSE PAGES! or text them to 801-597-4896. I hope this Motivational Monday scrapbook is a template you can use in your own scrapbook layouts.
At a recent baby shower everyone was privileged to make one of these very cute Mini Mix albums. I wanted to share the video with you today while I finish the one I bought to share with you in the near future. There are so many cute ways to use this book… from grandma’s brag book, to keeping a copy of school pictures through the years. The album has 12 – 4″ x 4″ pages in a mix of vellum, white cardstock, and kraft. It has a white chipboard cover which is perfect for decorating yourself. The spine is 7/8″ wide. Wouldn’t this be perfect for a momento of a baby shower, birthday party or bridal party? I enjoy doing parties where everyone is actually creating something – so much fun!!!
Please leave a comment below and tell me how you would use this album.
