Yesterday, I stepped away from working on my Extravaganza class artwork to finish up my Convention Studio J layouts (which I’ll share during this next week) and to create a special gift for my wonderful husband for Father’s Day.
I decided to create a few Studio J layouts for him and then make them into a wall hanging for the kids to give him…resulting in a hybrid project. My first attempt at that & I am fairly pleased with how it turned out.
I used a retired 9” x 9” My Creations Accordion Album I had leftover and layered the 8” x 8” Studio J layouts I printed (from my FREE jpeg files I got when I ordered my 12” x 12” Studio J layouts) with my printer onto some coordinating cardstock and then onto the album itself.
Here are the Studio J layouts I made using the Studio J Victory Kit which is perfect for Father’s Day…
Here is the completed wall hanging…
The greatest gift I ever had came from God, I call him dad! ~Author Unknown

The gift-giving season can be an uplifting time of merriment and joy... but it can also feel a bit hectic. It’s nice to know you can count on Studio J® to help you give meaningful gifts that don’t require a lot of time or money. Here are a few ideas to simplify your life and save time for both the giver and the receiver.
Make one family layout and print multiple copies for everyone. (Time: 15–45 minutes) With Studio J, printing extra copies of a layout is as simple as changing the quantity on the checkout screen. Or, if you prefer, create one layout, then copy it into a new project as many times as you like and customize it for each recipient.
Give a Studio J 5-pack along with a Quick Pic™ album. (Time: 5 minutes) Since a 5-pack includes free layouts, free shipping, and free Memory Protectors®, it’s everything they’ll need to create a finished album!
Present a loved one with a 3-month Studio J membership. (Time: 5 minutes) A 3-month membership costs just $30 US / $33 CAN and is the perfect way to help someone “get their feet wet” with Studio J and give them complete access to a product you love. Combine it with a 5-pack to make it an extra-special stocking stuffer!
Give a gift certificate for one-on-one Studio J training. (Time: 35 minutes) With Studio J, you can create two 2-page layouts in just 30 minutes. Give a gift certificate for a 30-minute session of one-one-one training where you help them create two layouts. Once you’ve shown them how fast and easy it is to scrapbook the Studio J way, they’ll be excited to create more pages on their own!
So put on the holiday music, pour yourself some eggnog, and pull out your holiday gift list. Studio J is a great way to help you give the gift of memories—without taking much time!
