More Studio J from CTMH from the Texas Convention 2012

Well I still  have a couple more pages to share from the pages I made using Studio J. These are from the Close To My Heart Convention last year 2012 in Texas. I had such a great time there, That was my 2nd convention with CTMH and so worth going. I can't wait for this years, which is next week I am so excited.

This layout is of the General Session. Meeting up with friends and meeting new ones is so much fun. I love seeing all the ideas and all the creativity that is at the convention.

Here is another layout I did, the page on the left was taken in front of the Hilton.  The two smaller pictures on the left are of my BFF Jann and she made everyone on our team a cup. She did a great job!!  The page on the right is of my BFF Jann and a friend's daughter. Jann had lived in Texas before and introduce me to some of her friends, they were all awesome. I was really impressed with Texas as I have never been there before. I really want to go back there and see the sights there again.

Jann also introduce me to another friend, Kay, she is really awesome and loves making things, beautiful quilts and she does scrapbook. Her and her husband took us out to dinner, loved!!!!! the food. It was so good, I would go back just to eat the food there again. I am sure she thought I was strange as I was taking pictures of her grass, I have never seen grass like that. It was so green and beautiful there. She also had such a cute little dog.

Well I hope you enjoyed these layouts I did in Studio J, if you would like more info about Studio J click here: Studio J  It is so easy to use.

Studio J, Digital scrapbooking, Close to My Heart Dallas Texas Convention 2012

Well I have finally found some time to work on my Studio J Digital scrapbooking.I wanted to do some of the 2012 Dallas, Texas convention. I had a great time there, I have never been to Dallas before and that was so cool to be able to go. It is really green there. I live in Arizona where it isn't so green, just the cactus are green.
The Convention was awesome, had so much fun, learned so much and loved all the great stuff we received.
Here is a few of the pages I did using  Studio J. 

They had a area where you can take pictures, My BFF and I did the wanted signs, so much fun!! I used the Dakota scrapbook pages to make this layout. YOu can check out my Close To My heart site and find info about using Studio J to create some awesome pages. If you have any questions please email me or leave a comment and I will get back to you. click here for more info about Studio J.

We also had a banquet and that was a lot of fun as well. Wow I am using the word fun so many times because I really did have fun and enjoyed my time there with my friends.
 On the right side of the page is my upline Kelly Hammonds, there was a contest to see who can raise the most money for Operation Smile, and Kelly worked very hard and won the contest, so proud of her. What she one was a chance to go to the Philippines and help with Operation smile for a week. All I know is it was an awesome experience for her. She will share about the trip in June when we go to Disney World for the 2013 convention. If you want more info about Operation Smile, click here.

Well I hope you liked the 2 layouts I shared I will be sharing more this week.
