Love me some Studio J!

I created this Easter layout from CTMH's Lucy paper pack, using Studio J digital scrapbooking.  I always love CTMH paper, but Lucy was a little feminine for most of my photos.  Having two boys, I rarely get to use my favorite color, pink, in my layouts.  That's what I love about Studio J though.  You can change the color of any of their patterned or cardstock paper.  And, using Studio J is as simple as click and drag.

Favor Boxes

I love making little favor boxes for parties or special events.  Recently, I was invited to a Mother's Day Tea at my church.  I offered to make favors for each guest.  Here's what I came up with:

I used CTMH's Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the box, flap, flower and butterfly.  Then, I used the stamp set from the Lucy WOTG to stamp the flower and the butterfly.  Adding a bit of Sweet Leaf ribbon and some sparkles, I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

A week after the tea, I was initiated as Secretary of my boys' PTA Board for the 2012-2013 school year.  The outgoing president invited us to a breakfast at Eggspectation to transition the board.  I made these favors again for this event.

I really enjoy being able to add a pretty touch to a special event.  Let me know if you have something unique coming up and I'll help you create your own favor box!
