Happy November!  This is a really exciting month for me -- I love the lead-up to Christmas, but November isn't quite as busy, isn't quite as panicked, isn't quite as stressful.  We have time to be creative with our gift ideas and have fun with our shopping.  And we might even still have some time for ourselves!

Close to my Heart's Constant Campaign in November is designed to help you get creative if you want to make some of your gifts -- and maybe make something for yourself too.

Introducing Studio J's Lucky 5.  Studio J is our fabulous online scrapbooking system that helps you to create layouts (and other projects -- more on that later) with just a few clicks.  They look dimensional and they are printed on quality photo paper -- PLUS you get the jpegs so that you can share digitally too!

Lots of pictures, size them up or down, add your journaling, great embellishments, wide range of papers and themes -- even those old favourites that have been retired from traditional scrapbooking.

 If you haven't tried Studio J, NOW is the time to do it.  It's free to play and try it out.  Visit studioj.com today!

BUT HOW DOES THAT HELP WITH MY GIFT GIVING?

Multiple Albums
Well, your Studio J creations don't have to be limited to scrapbooking layouts for your own scrapbooks.  With Studio J, you can create a layout once, and print twice, three times or more!  Create an album for each grandma, aunt, special friend without all the extra work!

Photo Collage
Create a gorgeous collage with photos from the past year and place it in one of our gorgeous shadow boxes ($31.75 each).  A great gift that turns your layout into home decor.


Calendar
Create a page for each month and add them to a monthly calendar ($8.75).  It's the gift that gives all year 'round.


Photo Christmas Cards
Like to send a photo of your family but tired of the cheesy layouts the department stores offer?  Create your own!  So each to make them personal and fun.



The only limit is your imagination.  What will you come up with?
