What’s the date? September 8. Just an ordinary day? Not by a long shot! Today is a historic day for Close To My Heart—it’s the day we launched Studio J memberships, complete with amazing new patterns designed just for online scrapbooking. Our new memberships mean that layouts are an unbelievable $6.50 US each (yes, that’s just $3.25 per page, and that includes free shipping and Memory Protectors, too!).
Words can’t even express how impressed I am with our great IT and marketing teams who have designed, developed, tested, coded, corrected, created, written, revised, and worked, worked, worked nonstop for months to make Studio J a truly unique and incredible way to make scrapbooking faster, simpler, easier (and now, even more affordable) than ever before.
I’ll always LOVE classic scrapbooking; it feeds my soul and helps me express myself perfectly. And now, I love Studio J too—I can create layouts in minutes, so I have even more layouts to love.
Studio J really proves that ANYONE can fall in love with scrapbooking. Last night, at 4 am, while the IT team was finalizing the launch, our Vice President of IT, Brian Holman, sent out a message—he had completed four new layouts in the software using a membership and had this to say:
“Studio J is helping me celebrate relationships and prove to my kids that we do fun things! We should be very proud of what we have created together! We have a world class product that now has a world class business model to support it. Here’s to the future success of Studio J!!!!”
I share Brian’s excitement! And of course, I wanted to share his layouts, too. (Not bad for four in the morning, eh?) When Brian started at the company three years ago, he was already an excellent technologist. But it’s been great to watch his transformation into an excellent and ardent scrapbooker as well. I think he’s even surprised himself. Here’s to you, Brian, to Studio J, and to all those about to discover a new love of scrapbooking for themselves!
Faster. Simpler. Easier. and always getting BETTER!

Brian's layouts are top notch! Way to go! Please pass on my sincere thanks to Brian & the IT team for all their hard work & diligence in getting Studio J ready for the exciting launch today. My customers & I send a big mahalo across the sea to you all.
ReplyDeleteBrian rocks! I heard Brian's presentation on Studio J at Convention this year, and he convinced this die-hard classic scrapbooker to give it a shot! He and the IT team are amazing! I think hiring Brian was one of Jeanette's smartest decisions ever because when I first joined CTMH a few years ago, I was NOT at all impressed with our technology. Now, I am proud to show off and SELL Studio J to everyone I meet!
ReplyDeleteHis layouts look great! I'm so excited about the new Studio J memberships! What a deal!! (of course...for only about $30 more, you can be a consultant too! What could be better?!)
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Brian!!!!
ReplyDeleteHistorical indeed! I'm so proud to be apart of Close To My Heart and even more so with StudioJ. Not only can I get my SD cards cleared and my memories preserved quickly but as the tireless efforts demonstrated by Brian in these very nice lay-outs (I might add), that this is revolutionary and a PERFECT fit to our "classic" line.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much for sharing.
