I’ve talked about text boxes a lot in my tutorials, but this simple tip bears repeating, because it makes Studio J such a versatile program. I can use text boxes to create journaling strips, ribbon clusters, change the shape of my layout, and mat photos. I can rotate text boxes, send them behind photos and other text boxes, and layer as many as I want. I can fill text boxes with vellum, cardstock, and patterned paper. I can even leave my text boxes transparent so that I can place text or distressing on top of photos. Text boxes are our friends, so watch this quick tip and then log in to Studio J to try it yourself!

I was so inspired by Jeanette Lynton’s Cricut Shape-a-Day series last month that I decided to do my own in November. I love being a Close To My Heart consultant, and I’m so thankful for Studio J! I want to share with you at least 30 of the reasons why I’m so passionate about Studio J, but that’s not all…I’m also giving away a free Studio J 5-pack this month!

Why I’m Thankful for Studio J #1—Text Boxes

My adventures as a CTMH consultant began in April of 2007. My goal was simply to meet my minimums so that I could enjoy the consultant discount. Little did I know that my passion for the products and teaching scrapbooking and stamping techniques would lead me to so many new friendships. I've had the good fortune to travel to a variety of CTMH events and was even asked to teach at the Studio J Boot Camp in 2011, Convention Extravaganza in 2012, and on the main stage at Convention 2015.

November 28, 2011 at 2:17 pmWho would have known that a text box can be used from so many different techniques? Adding distressing to your photos and creating a mat without decreasing the size of your photo. Awesome!

November 28, 2011 at 2:31 pmPretty cool-I have used the right click “move to the front” or “move to the back” but didn’t know that you needed to select it up to 9 times. Thank you for making this tutorial.
