DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKINGProduct Spotlight~ Studio Chic
Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Hi everyone! It’s Lu here with this week’s Product Spotlight, Studio Chic (on sale for $4.25 this week only – and keep in mind that SP plans to retire this kit next year). This is a kit that I’ve always really liked, for a number of reasons. I love kits with black (Clementine is my fav)… it just makes everything “pop” and provides so much drama. But mainly I love the “theme” of the kit… creativity!
With word art such as “imagine”, “unique” & “create”… it certainly puts you in the mood to do just that! It also has lots of great border/corner accents and one of my favorite types of fastener. There are really so many fun embellishments in the kit, as well as bright color, you are sure to be inspired. Here’s a little sampling from the Shabby Artists, to show you what I’m talking about:

from SP:
from Mariquita:
from Trish:
and here’s a layout I created:
We also have some hybrid fun…
from Denise:
Now, as this kit is about creativity, it gave me the idea of how to organize some of my “art collection”. Like many moms, I struggle with what to do with my little picasso’s art work. Obviously, I can’t keep it all (although I tried for awhile), lol! Finally, it just overwhelmed me and I started placing it in a spare box. When I chose this kit to spotlight, the wheels started turning. I felt so much better (and organized) with my little cherub’s masterpieces tucked away in an bright & cheery storage box.
Studio Chic is all about creating… and that’s just what we hope we’ve inspired you to do! Looking forward to seeing those “masterpieces” in the gallery! Don’t miss tomorrow’s post with Beckie, it is sure to be a creative treat!

Great post Lu! Lots of wonderful examples of how to use the kit too!
And, Jasmine – I’m only assuming here, but because the scroll border has tiny breaks in it, it’s easy to erase sections and rejoin to make the rectangle size required without too much trouble.

exactly :o) THANK YOU, Kylie!

How do you get a square border into a rectangle without distorting the shape? I always have trouble with those. I love the way SP used hers in the layout.

thanks so much, Jasmine :o) and, Kylie answered beautifully! that’s exactly what i did…since there are little spaces in between some of the scrolls…i just erased and then rejoined at the appropriate size and spot (it would have never worked to try to resize it or transform it from a square to a rectangle). it wouldn’t work on just any square…but when you have spaces (even tiny one) – you can generally make it work :o) hope that helps! THANKS again!
