Quick and Easy with Studio J

I like to get right into paper and embellishments -- that is why I scrapbook!  There is something to be said for taking pieces here and there, and putting them together to make a page that captures memories.

However, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately and decided to I wanted to recharge my batteries by putting together a few digital pages.  Once again, I was AMAZED at how quickly they come together.  Close to my Heart has put forth a great deal of effort and resources to make digital scrapbooking with Studio J very EASY and USER-FRIENDLY.  They have brought out a feature called Express Collections.  You simply choose a paper pack, and there are a bunch of pre-designed layouts where you literally DRAG and DROP your photos in, add a little journalling and VOILA! It doesn't get much easier than that!  All you simply need to do is upload your photos and the rest is very easy. Of course, for those of us that want the freedom to be creative -- all the great full features of Studio J continue to be at your disposal.

Here are a couple of samples using the Express Collections feature in Studio J.  After I uploaded my pictures, these layouts literally took me about 15 minutes to complete!  Seriously?!?  It's that simple.








Here are a couple more sample using the full features of Studio J.  These took me a little longer to put together, but I had more creative options and layout flexibility.




I have used a number of different digital scrapbooking companies and programs.  What is great about Studio J is that you DO NOT commit to a membership, minimum, etc.  You have full access to the online software for FREE!!  Yes, no charge to try it out for a test drive!  The only time to have to pay for anything is when you want to order.  You have the option to purchase JPG files to print out yourself, or have them printed by us.  The quality is IMPRESSIVE!!  You WILL NOT be disappointed!
