For those of you who love scrapbooks, but may not have time to create them, don't have the resources, or feel like you're not creative enough... Close to my Heart now offers online scrapbooking! It's easier than digital scrapbooking and offers you so much more! Now you can design your scrapbook layouts online, using the same fabulous products that CTMH offers in paper...only virtually! It's fool-proof...simply upload your pictures, choose your layout, choose your paper, and add your embellishments. Voila! Professional scrapbook layout.
But it gets better. It's not going to just stay stored on your computer. Once you are finished designing your two-page 12" x 12" layouts, you order them and CTMH professionally prints them for you! So you can put them in your real scrapbook! And if you want, you can add real ribbon, brads, and other embellishments after you receive them for a more 3D look...but you don't even need to.

I'll let you in on a secret: When Studio J was first released for Consultants to try out last year, I thought it was really cool, but didn't think I'd use it much. Maybe just to catch up on my scrapbooking when I’m behind, I thought. I’m such a paper-to-hands person that I thought I’d just want to continue scrapping traditionally. Well, although I do still love the touch, feel, smell, and look of real paper, I am also in love with Studio J! Close to my Heart has created this FREE online software that is so intuitive, so fool-proof, and so professional, that you can’t help but love it! Studio J online scrapbooking makes me feel more productive because I can get a layout done in less than half the time as with paper.
Now, don’t get me wrong, as I said I will always be a real paper scrapper, but there’s nothing wrong with also being a studio scrapper. Especially when you can scrapbook ANYWHERE you have an internet connection...because there's no software to buy or install. You don’t need to lug all your scrapbook supplies around to get your mojo flowing. You can even start scrapbooking your vacation photos while you’re still on vacation! What a trip!
Here are the first four layouts I created. They look AMAZING in person! They are professionally printed and professionally packed for safe delivery.
For this first layout I knew I wanted to use the Back Country paper, but I don't own it, nor would I use it often, so I didn't want to buy the paper kit. But with Studio J, you have access to every CTMH paper kit...perfect! There are even some retired paper kits on Studio J, plus with the release of every Idea Book, CTMH creates a paper kit JUST for Studio J!
I can't tell you how much Aspen paper I go through. My husband and I go to Mammoth several times every winter. Our dog, Oslo, LOVES the snow...it's definitely where he feels at home (as you can see from my scrapbook layout below). I have so many Mammoth pictures I don't know how to be creative with them anymore, so Studio J was the perfect way to change things up!
This Magic Moments paper pack is my very favorite kit from Close to my Heart, so I love that it goes perfectly with our professional family photo shoot. I was running low on my stock, plus I don't usually buy the My Stickease, but with Studio J you have access to all the My Stickease, and you can resize and rotate them, too! Plus, look how big these photos are! I would have had to print two 8"x10" photos to create this layout, costing at least as much as the whole Studio J layout cost!
This last layout was a challenge for me. I love the Jingle paper pack, but wanted to use it in a non-Christmas layout. So this is what I created. I couldn't use many of the My Stickease, because most are Christmas-themed, but the "Happy Moments" sticker was just what I wanted.
So, What Can Studio J Do for You?
