Buzz and Bumble is the paper pack for March.  It has great earthy colors and Diana added some blue to help your photos pop.  Perfect for either masculine or feminine and lots of great details that won't show up much on the photo, but you will love in real life.  So here is the photo...

I love the fun honey comb stamps on this one.

If you want to do these pages and/or cards let me know.  I am working to cut paper for my expo class, so it isn't too late to join the fun for March.  Cost is $20 (this includes the tax and shipping)  Also if you do the pages and cards, the cost may be $1 more to cover the card bases.  If you can't attend, but want to do these pages, I can cut and assemble your kit and send it to you with an additional shipping cost of about $6.

For the card makers...the cards will be very similar, but I usually change up a few things and the cost is only $10 for 8 cards.

I am considering doing a Friday night scrapbooking get together at least every other month in addition to my usual creative classes.  I have room for 8 (4 per table) and I thought it would be fun to have an evening to get pictures on pages.  No projects from me, just time and space together to create.  So let me know if you are interested in attending something like this here in the Orem area.  I miss my old page exchange group....

Here is the schedule for March:
Tuesday, March 12       start time anywhere between 5:00 and 7:00
Thursday, March 14      start time anywhere between 3:30 and 7:00   (not 12:30 this time)
NO SATURDAY AVAILABLE this month.  Expo, baseball, etc....

Do you have a group of friends who would like to do my creative classes, but these times and place don't work.  Let's talk and figure a time and place for me to come to your group. 

STUDIO J.  I am happy to help you get going with Studio J digital scrapbooking.  I have a non-scrapbooking friend that is doing a memory album for her son's mission and is doing the whole thing with Studio J.  I did a telephone tutorial with her and she is making great progress to finish the whole album in a month (to get the special discount $5/layout until March 15.)  We talked on the phone and I walked her through the entire process with me at my computer and her at hers.  It is a great program with lots of great features, that you could easily figure out on your own.  However there are a few helps that I can give to make things go smoothly and quickly...and I really like helping.  So if you would like your own telephone tutorial, I am here for you.

One thing I love about Studio J is that you can continue with your regular scrapbooking style and add pages throughout your book that are done with Studio J.  They come back looking like regular scrapbook pages, except flat and you can put them right in your albums.  I am currently working on a tribute album for my mother in law and her friends and family members from all over the country are uploading their photos onto my site.  Then all I have to do is make the pages and add their sweet comments about her. I can tell the book is going to be a treasure.  A few people are sending their tributes and photos via snail mail and I will make their pages in the traditional way and they will fit right in with the Studio J digital pages.
