Studio J™

Studio J is a free online design software for scrapbooking and its almost ready for release.  There is no software to buy or even download to your computer.  All you will have to do is go to my website and create an account and log in and start designing.  You can create and immediately purchase your layouts or save them for later.  The software is extremely intuitive and easy to use. The software walks a user through five simple steps that include:

1. uploading photos;
2. choosing the desired themed kit;
3. selecting an exclusive layout pattern;
4. adding photos, embellishments, title, and journaling;
5. and purchasing custom-printed layouts ready for a cherished album.

All Studio J patterns are two-page layouts, chosen from Cherish™ and Imagine™, with additional combinations forthcoming from Reflections^®. The initial launch of Studio J will include 25 layout patterns that can be swapped and rotated for even more variety.

There will be many kits available on Studio J when it launches and more added with each new Idea Book release.  Additionally, many retired, favorite classic kits will be available on Studio J.  There will also be one new, themed kit available only on Studio J per Idea Book cycle.  All the same B&T Duos papers and cardstocks found in a classic My Reflections paper packet are available within a selected kit in Studio J. 

The same favorite My Stickease assortments that you have come to love with the My Reflections^® Level 1 and Level 2 kits are available for you to use with your studio artwork. Even better, you can change the size of My Stickease in Studio J to suit the style of your projects. 

Studio J will include many embellishments you can choose from to add pizzazz to your artwork, including coordinating My Stickease^® artwork that you can place yourself. There are also a number of pre-placed embellishments on each pattern called “toggle accents” that include ribbon, buttons, and metal embellishments from brads to photo hangers. For maximum flexibility, you can “toggle” the accents on or off as desired. You can also colorize these embellishments to suit your style in colors that coordinate with the kit’s palette.  The software also allows you add distressing such as inked edges, scissor distressing, torn edges, and more. You can distress as much or as little as you’d like—using your computer!

Studio J  software will include basic photo editing and manipulation such as changing a photo to black and white or sepia tone, cropping, and photo sizing with a zoom feature.

We are excited to announce the official customer launch of Studio J™ on Tuesday, April 27 at 8:00 am.    With this launch, we're offering you  a special introductory promotion. You may purchase each two-page layout for just $12.95 US / $14.95 CAN. Also, when you place a single order for 5–9 layouts, you'll receive a pack of 5 Memory Protectors FREE! For placing an order for 10 or more layouts, you'll receive FREE shipping/handling plus a FREE pack of 5 Memory Protectors for every 5 layouts in the single order.
