Official Blog Transition! :)

After 4 years...YaY!  It's totally gone OFFICIAL, working, transitioned and I'm absolutely tickeled pink over it!  I've been in talks with my dear Mother for over a year regarding updating and transitioning my blog.  There are several reasons for this change: 1. Ease of Use in Finding my web-site. 2. Setting up relevant information, posts, pages...that You my readers can rely upon. 3. Though I've worked with this blog for a couple of years I just could not get google to transition my domain that I purchased over 2 years ago.  As a result...Creatique Candy is born.  Though still in it's infancy my hope is that you will enjoy the changes and follow Creatique at our new location and in return my promise is to keep it updated continuously!  Whether I'm posting creativity, photos of whatnots, or just sharing about other inspiration I've found...I'm sure you will find it a TREAT!  I want to Thank Fabulously Artsy for inspiring this transition as she is always my #1 Inspiration.  Check out her really Fabulous changes by clicking on her name in bold!
Here is the new web-site for Creatique: www.CreatiqueCandy.com There is already a new "Bliss" card post there today! HUGS & TY for following me there...

Kottan Kandi A Beary Special Friend!

I'm smitten over our newest video tutorial in our Love Your Lay-Out series so much so that I decided to incorporate some familiar photos that I did in my "classic" pages for our "You & Me Stronger Together" campaign.  

When I watched this video I knew right away the story I wanted to tell about Kottan Kandi and what a Beary Special friend she's been to our precious angel.  I also entered it into our "StudioJ Free-for-All" Close To My Heart Facebook Contest!  I couldn't help myself with the FREE .JPG promotion I have all month long on my StudioJ tab via my web-site.  After all it was absolutely FREE!  You can get yours too by clicking the title to this post.  There is a lot of creativity going on and I would love to see what you do with your FREE .JPG.  You can also enter the contest or view all the "Studio" lay-outs, just click HERE today.

StudioJ "Some I Love"

StudioJ is one of my FAVORITE FREE online software tools to utilize for something quick, fun and easy!  I had taken some photos of our darling daughter before picture day this year and I went a little camera happy so I was wondering what to do with all these digital photos on my card.  It just so happens that Close To My Heart introduced our first in a series of "Love Your Layout" tutorials.  Of course it was a perfect opportunity to do a special page on "Someone I Love"!  Too cool.  Of course K was wearing a bit of pink, some animal print and there was tons of foliage in the backgrounds.  

I had a lot of fun creating this after viewing the tutorial on it.  The FUN part is that I have a StudioJ membership so the cost of just having a .jpg file was only $3.00.  Yes it is in high quality so I can re-print these lay-outs on a cool textured cardstock to put inside of her album using my 12x12 printer.   If you have extra camera cards lying around, You too can create some fun, quick, fast, and easy pages to display on your family blog, Facebook, or anywhere online.  Just click the title at the top of this post to be directed to our StudioJ and play for FREE.  

Bonus: If you do decide to purchase your page creation using the below tutorial and post your .jpg image via Creatique Innovationz Facebook Album "StudioJ" I will enter your name to win a FREE Level 1 paperpack out of our Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book. (The Creatique FB Link is located to the left column of my blog).   I hope you ENJOY the video it is also in CC.  Have a Happy Scrappy Day...
