So, the other day I posted I was at a crop over the weekend and I would post photos today of the pages I did...well, I am here to show you some cute pages! I used the "Believe" paper pack and the oh, so, cute stickers that go with this paper! I did cover up my kids faces (can't be too careful these days!)...but you can still see how great this paper pack is! As you can see in the photos these pictures are from 2005...I am so behind but working to get them done! Anyway, hope you enjoy them.

Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book ~ Silly

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?"

~"I didn't lose my mind, I sold it on Ebay."  

~"Life is tough, get a helmet!"

~"Crazy is a relative term in my family."  

~"When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane."

I thought I would share some "Silly" type quotes today. I thought with the holidays coming we could use a good laugh. The next few weeks will be busy for everyone...but at least we have something to make us laugh. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards.

Check Out The Rubber Brayer ~ Is It A Tool You Need For Your Tool Box / Bag? Get It Before It's Gone!

Over the weekend I went to a crop and made a bunch of scrapbook layouts using the "Believe" paper pack and the "My Stickease Assortment". They came out really cute! I still need to take photos of the layouts...so make sure to check back on Friday...since I hope to have them on here then.

In the meantime, I thought I would let you know of a product that will not be available once the Autumn/Winter 2011 catalog is done (at end of January...or sooner if it sells out). The product is the "Rubber Brayer" (Z616). This product is great to have if you like to make paper crafts. You can use it to make sure that your paper is nice and smooth and really glued down. It also is great if you need to cover a good size item with ink. So, check it out and if you think it's a tool you want in your tool box/bag...don't wait, buy it today!

I know I've posted a few other videos for Studio J...but I thought with the holidays coming up Studio J would make a great gift...either by buying a membership as a gift for someone, or making a scrapbook with Studio J for someone special. Either way it would make a really special gift that would keep memories close to their heart...for a lifetime! So, check out the video and start working! If you have any questions about Studio J email me!
