November 2014 also brings us Lucky 5.

It is the 5th Anniversary of Studio J® and Close To My Heart is celebrating with reducing pricing and opportunities to win. I posted all of the details and then some on Saturday, October 18, 2014 because I wanted you to have the chance to start creating. Also on that post are links to videos that will help you get started using Studio J® or to refresh your memory if you have not used Studio J® for awhile.

If you are new to Studio J®, there is no software to download, install and maintain. Since Studio J® is web-based most computers are ready for your to start creating with Studio J®. You just need your digital photos, an active Internet connection and a web browser with the Adobe Flash Player plug-in to use Studio J®. The best part? You can create in Studio J® all you want and there is no charge until you want to print your layouts (or download a JPG of them).

I also recommend Studio J® for printing photos. There are some templates for creating photos in various sizes. When you sign into Studio J®, after uploading photos, choose "Start with an Express Collection". Scroll down a little and on the left you will find "Photo Collections". Click on "Photo Collections", then "Continue" and on the next screen there are seven pre-set photo wells collections. There is one for 3" x 4 photos", with half the wells in portrait format and half in landscape, just like the Picture My Life protectors.

On November 3 five new Studio J® Kits will be added. The new kits being added are Confetti Wishes, Snowhaven, Seaside, Pathfinding, and Scaredy Cat. The new kits will have alphabet Stickease and the Quick Title tool option.

Another "new-ish" product in November...

I do not have a picture to show, but CTMH is introducing A la Carte Picture My Life™ scrapbooking programs on November 1. A la Carte PML is an optional way to purchase the currently available Picture My Life™ scrapbooking programs.
