Studio J....Not Just for Scrapbooking!

Do you think that Studio J is only for scrapbooking?  Think again!  Here is an example of a recipe book that was made using Studio J.  You can take your JPG’s and have them printed any size that you want.  In this example, they were printed in 6” X 6” size so that they would fit into a My Creations Display Album.  You could make a book with a collection of favorite Christmas recipes, family favorites, soups, etc.  Make each recipe and take a photo of the finished product and include it with the recipe for a gift that is sure to be cherished. 

On the Seventh Day of Christmas....

Another storm is rolling in here is Utah as I type...another perfect day to stay home and stamp! So, I made another talking Christmas ornament...this time one for my son. When I showed it to him, he took it into another room so no one could hear him record on it. When he brought it back I about cried as I played it to hear him sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It was so sweet! I love these MyPages Talk recorders!

On the Sixth Day of Christmas....

Here is a little treat to celebrate the sixth day of Christmas! A talking Christmas Ornament. Really! I made this Christmas ornament with our fabulous MyPages Talk Voice Recorder. I simply decorated the cover and added one my daughter's school pictures. Attach some ribbon to hang it with (liquid glass is fabulous for attaching the ribbon to the slick surface on the back!). Then I recorded my daughter singing a Christmas song. The voice recorder can record up to 30 seconds. Just press the little white button on the right side to play. The locking feature on the side prevents her voice message from being erased accidentally. This will be a priceless ornament that preserves her sweet voice.

On the Fourth Day of Christmas...

Today it is snowing here in Orem and everything is totally covered in blanket of pure white snow! It really makes it feel like the holiday time. I love it! All the snow also makes me want to stay inside and stamp! Hee! Hee! Here are a few gift tags that I created this morning as I hibernated indoors. They just flew together! The trick is to find one gift tag layout you love and change it up by adding different accents or different stamped images. It makes tag making faster, simpler, and easier!

On the Second Day of Christmas.....

"On the second day of Christmas, a dear friend gave to me.....

An Acrylic album under my holiday tree!"

:) This is holiday acrylic themed acrylic album would be a fabulous gift for any friend or family member! The clear acrylic pages are fun to dress up with rub ons and fun dual-sided paper that you can see on both sides! This album uses the Evensong paper packet, Holiday buttons, Love Letters rubon ons and Cranberry ribbon. To order, go to www.tracy.myctmh.com.
