Time to Catch Up on Holiday Scrapbooking!

Now that Christmas is over & done with, I have to ask you just one question.  Have you scrapped all of your Holiday memories yet?  If you're like me, the answer to that question is probably not a YES!  

If not, then I have just the solution for you!  The NEW Yuletide Carol Express Collection in Studio J can help you complete your Holiday Album in a jiffy!

This new Collection features 10 different layouts that are already designed for you, using the Yuletide Carol papers and embellishments.  The layouts include titles and a spot to add your own journaling. There's even a front and back layout designed for your first and last album page.  

Now is the time to capture all your recent holiday memories! Express Collections make documenting your memories even easier by doing most of the creation for you. Just drop in your photos, add some journaling and personalized titles, and order your layouts. Using this Express Collection, you will have your recent holiday photos scrapbooked before you know it! The Express Collection will be available only from January 1 to February 28, so make certain to place your orders before the deadline.  

The great thing about Studio J is that it's FREE to try it out.  You only pay for the layouts you choose to purchase.  Close To My Heart prints them out for you and ships them right to your door!  How sweet is that?

You can access Studio J from my website or by CLICKING HERE.  Go ahead, Give it a try!  I think you'll be surprised how easy it is to use the Studio J Express Collections.
