Digital Scrapbooking Studio J: Back to School

   School is a great milestone in every child's life. It is a great time to take pictures. The shoes are shiny, the cloths have never been washed and if you are like me you make sure their hair is styled and cute (give it a few months or even weeks and you are just glad they made it to school with it brushed out and in a pony tail). Now among all the busy new responsibilities like homework, fall soccer and piano lessons those pictures could sit on your computer and/or memory card for months even years before you get to printing them. OR you could upload them to Studio J and quickly create beautiful layouts that will be in their albums before they have grown out of those new shoes and cloths!  I like option B.

 To help you out I have even created step by step instructions to walk you through recreating the 3rd layout I made for Mikele's back to school pictures. Just save and print the images below (with the instructions), hop on to Studio J and get your back to school pictures scrapbooked in hardly anytime at all.

Don't have a Studio J account yet? No worries...it's EASY! To create an account and make layouts is absolutely free. There are a few cost options to order your layouts.

• You can purchase a membership. There are two memberships available to choose from: a 3-month membership or a 1-year membership. In my opinion, becoming a member is the way to go! It allows you free shipping on one order per month (between 4 and 20 2-page layouts)! That's a $7.95 value! You also get a GREAT savings on the price per layout than if you were to purchase them without a membership. Finally, memberships give you access to "Members Only" layout patterns and paper kits. WOO HOO!
• You can purchase a 5-pack. This is five 2-page layouts as well as the shipping for them included (all 5 must be ordered at once).
• You can pay for your layouts one at a time. I don't recommend this one. In the long run you are paying much more per layout and don't get the perks of "Members Only" kits and patterns, nor do you get one free shipment per month. But, just to let you know, this is an option. LOL.
