Here's a Studio J digital scrapbook layout I made...

I don't use Studio J very often, but when I see retired papers I like, plus the chance to catch up on my scrapbooking...can't pass that! =)
You can give it a try for free! All you have to do is create a user account (click HERE to go to the website).
And if you would to purchase the layouts you created, you can purchase just the files (and print them at home) or printed pages (with files included).
CTMH is going to have a special promotion for Studio J next month...stay tuned for more info!!!

I'm entering it in:

Mixed Media {Monday}: Gratitude Art Journal Part 2

Remember my Art Journal pages that I almost forgot to post end of last month?

Here's the photo inspiration again:

I didn't have time to write the how-to...so here it is!

How-to:
1. The background was half done! I chose the orange pages from my Smash (the red one)...
2. I had an old overlay cut from Artbooking Cricut Collection (CTMH) and I used it as a stencil for the modeling paste;
3. I painted the modeling paste using 3 different colors of reinkers;
4. Added some splatters with a paintbrush, using the same 3 colors;
5. Then, I stamped on pages using different background stamps (Script is Stampabilities, others are CTMH - D1604 Season of Thanks);
6. I stamped the big flower (Inkadinkado) on a piece of cardstock, colored it with regular markers and watercolored using PearlEx Watercolor CD;
7. I also stamped Script Background stamp on flower, cut it out and adhered on page;
8. I added the dragonfly (Unity Stamp Co.) and sentiment (C1559 Always Grateful - CTHM);
 9. Finally, I colored the dragonflies with Copic markers and added Glitz Glitter Gel (CTMH - retired).
