Skylark: On This Day Layout

Hello all!!  I know, I know...I have been MIA lately.  I have been busy with this and that and just haven't spent a lot of time in my craft room.  I actually made this layout several weeks ago and thought I should post SOMETHING!!  I really love this layout.  It is simple and I used more cardstock than I did B&T paper.  I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and get more crafting done.  I will be going to a retreat in a couple of weeks, so I should have some fun stuff to post when I am done with that. :)  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Ivy Lane: Be Yourself Layout

Another quick post today.  I was not a super fan of this paper when I saw it in the Ideabook.  But once I started making cards and this layout...I am starting to warm up to it.  I got inspiration for this layout on Jeanette Lynton's blog seen here.

Did you know that March is all about Saving with Studio J™?  Have you tried Close to my Heart's online digital scrapbooking?  The reason I ask is I am planning on loading up on just pictures to fit on my already made layouts with Studio J™ .  During March, purchase Studio J™ layouts or photos for the discounted price of just $5 each! Visit my website for more details.  I am going to purchase photos for this lovely layout.  It is really easy to do.
