The Laundry List

I was hoping to get some scrapping done tonight but it is just way TOO HOT here, so it's the perfect time to update my blog and then work on some Studio J layouts in front of the AC in our living room.  I have a lot of info to fill you all in on! 

Please click to view larger!  Photos by Kelly Meyers Photography.  Kit: Discovery.

I am still loving Studio J!  Check out one of the new kits just added (shown above)...Discovery, it is absolutely adorable and so versatile!  I will be sure to use this for several more layouts.  I have quite a few new Studio J layouts that I will be sharing with you.  Notice that these two layouts are similar; to switch it up (besides changing the paper kits) is I rotated the right page of the layout!  There are just so many options in Studio J for personalizing your layouts!  Want to learn more or even how to start out?  Contact me!
