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

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!



About Author

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.

    So happy I found your page! Studio J has been my saving grace in staying on top of scrapbooking my daughter’s many milestones. New tricks are always nice to learn and pass on to my customers!

    Who 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!

    Pretty 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.
