Grand Prix Museum

I made these great layouts so quickly with Studio J. They use the Game On paper pack. On-line scrapbooking is so convenient for pages like this where you want to squeeze in a lot of pictures.






I am a racing fan from way back, and on a recent business trip in England, I had the good fortune to come across this wonderful museum. I was blown away by all the cars they had on display. So much history.

New Orleans Layouts

I recently got to spend a weekend in New Orleans with my good friend Lora. We had a blast! One day we went to Mardi Gras World and we loved it - it was a great place to take pictures.

I made these layouts using Studio J, using the Hooligans Paper.

Here is another great layout using the Wings paper design. This one was made (By Close To My Heart - not by me) with Studio J, the on-line scrapbooking design studio. It's super easy to use, just upload some pictures, select a paper package, pick from tons of different layout designs, add titles, stickers, buttons, distressing - anything you can do with paper. You can then use this as a guide to make the same layout with your paper supplies, buy a digital image and print it yourself, or order the 12 x 12 print. The pages slide right into your album and you can display them mixed in with 'traditional' pages or make a whole album of Studio J layouts.
