H2H First Annual Bunny Hop!

Welcome to our first annual H2H Bunny Hop...I'm so excited that you Hopped on By!  I sooo wanted to share also that this is the First in a series of H2H From Our Heart To Yours series.  What an amazing Launch this is.  So all you have to do to participate is post your exclusive Close To My Heart product creation between 8am - 8pm and submit your name with your link back to your project via the H2H Blog (just click the title to this post to access)  Easy Peasy! 
Now on to my Awesome "Steal of a Deal" project!  I had so much fun creating this, that I could just Hop all around the house.  I actually purchased this photo frame at a garage sale for only $.25 cents. it was very fitting to use it as a base design for a Springy Easterish type of challenge.   
All the products used in this piece are exclusive Close To My Heart products and some of them were consultant only bulk products, though you can see I used very little to ribbon wrap the water can handle.   In fact, I love our exclusive designer ribbon rounds!  Thanks thanks to a dear friend at this years CU 2011 I'm addicted to ribbon.  I hope you enjoy the base project of what it looked like prior to completion...I did notice a huge difference between my computer and my husbands in the photos, I just need a new camera since the base photo was via my HTC Evo and the others my 08 Olympus.  I also am having a hard time with vision lately so bare with the colorations.  HUGS and TY for Stamping By...

& of course for the re-inkers above I mixed it with our exclusive Create-A-Shade Pearl paint Z1039 and used the spray pen to spray the paper prior to modge podge allowed it to dry and then colored my flower petal layers with it.  I LOVE using the spray pen to give the added flair!

Happy Anniversary!

Surely I wasn't going to let this day end without wishing the loving supportive Husband of mine a Happy Anniversary! 

Honey, you are the one that makes all things possible in my life, my dreams come true, and the rock that keeps me grounded.  You have stood beside me, carried me, and walk with me though all these years.  I just wanted you to know how much I truly appreciate you.  Every little thing you do never goes unnoticed and though I may not say it all the time, I truly do count my blessings that you are in my life.  I'm just as much in love with you today as I was on this day 7 years ago.  Always and forever, my eternal Soul-Mate.

This was my first attempt at using clipping masks, layers, different PSE9 exclusive elements etc. It certainly isn't easy creating a 5x7 card in digital format (flat), though it took a few hours to do and it wasn't everything I wanted, I certainly think it came out lovely.

StudioJ Basics (CC) - Incredible Options, No Fuss Scrapbooking!

Please take a moment to view this Awesome tutorial on our exclusive StudioJ program.  I'm in love with StudioJ and even more in love with having the opportunity to share with you a video tutorial that is also in (CC) if you click on the box to view with closed captions. :) I've long awaited for a video that can show you the difference between "classic scrapbooking" and our FREE online design software for "Studio scrapbooking" and how versatile the using it is. 

April is a month with no exception because you can incorporate these gorgeous lay-outs and embellish upon them to create vibrant classic pages as well.  As a StudioJ member through the month of April 2011, when you purchase 10 created lay-outs you receive our exclusive opaque pearls and sparkles to jazz up your pages. 
There are so many bonuses in utilizing my FREE software program here are just a few that I use it for: 
1. Not one single lay-out ever looks the same and it is exclusive to just YOU!
2. I can create several albums as gifts with an event like I did for CU 2011.
3. I can use quality .jpg images to share with all my social networking sites for family, friends, followers and the like by purchasing just the jpg image - though you do get them with the page purchases to. 
4. Sometimes I order a 2nd set so that I can cut the quality printed photos out and create a "classic" page to go hand in hand with my "studio" pages. That's right...no need for all the cutting and gas spent to go and have them printed and picked up because these come straight to my door. 
5. It is sooo Fast, Simple, and Easy Peasy to say the least!
So what do you get out of being a StudioJ member?
There are 2 membership options: 3-month or 12-month - You can get your feet wet with a 3-month membership.  Though the best value is packed with a huge punch in my 12-month membership. 

• Studio J members get 50% off custom prints: that's just $3.50 per page!
• Members get one free shipment a month of up to 20 lay-outs - that's 40 scrapbook pages.  My oh, my the endless possibilities. 
• Members save even more with members-only special promotions. (April opaques and sparkles)
• Exclusive members only patterns. 
• JPG files of layouts are available to members only, either for a seperate purchase or FREE with a custom print, so you can share your layouts online, print more copies, and archive them for the future.
• FREE Memory Protectors are inclued with each custom-printed lay-out.

The 5-Pack membership Perks:

• Perfect for gifts to friends and family. 
• Each pack includes 5 two-page layouts, 5 Memory Protectors, and FREE shipping and handling.
