  2. Do I need to download any software to my computer to use Studio J?
    Not at all! You only need a web browser that supports Adobe Flash (how do I download Flash?) and an Internet connection, and then you simply log in to your Consultant’s Online Business Address or studioj.com to get started. Feel free to design to your heart’s content—you are not required to buy anything or provide any personal information to get started! To purchase or save layouts, however, you will need to create an online account.
  3. Once I create an account on Studio J, can I share it with my friends and family?
    No. For your protection, your account cannot be accessed at the same time by two different machines, nor can two separate accounts be open on the same computer at the same time. Since creating a Studio J account is free of charge, all users may create their own accounts so each can create in Studio J at his or her convenience.
  4. Can I save what I am working on and come back to it later?
    You bet! You can create a customer account that allows you to save and return to a project in progress at a later time. Your active projects will be saved for up to 90 days, giving you plenty of time to work on them. You extend that timeline for your active projects by 90 days each time you make a purchase, and your purchased projects will remain archived for one full year after purchase. We’ll email you when your active projects are set to expire so you can be sure to purchase them before they are deleted. You can upgrade the storage time of your active projects by becoming a Studio J member; see Products & Pricing for more details.
  5. Do I need a Consultant in order to use Studio J?
    When you create an account, you will be asked to select a Consultant, but you can also choose to shop anonymously. In this case, you will receive a Consultant’s contact information in case you need customer service, but the Consultant will not receive any of your personal information.
  6. Do I need a printer that can print 12" × 12" pages to use Studio J?
    No. While you can opt to purchase JPEGs of your layouts to print on your own, you can also let us take care of the printing for you. When you purchase your designed layouts, we print and ship them quickly and directly to you using only top-quality silver-halide processing and archival papers.
  7. What kind of printing or processing is used when I purchase Studio J layouts?
    Studio J layouts are processed, not printed, using a silver-halide process considered the highest standard in the photo developing industry. Unlike printed papers or images you might print from a home photo printer, the silver-halide process yields “100-year+ quality” that has long been tested and used by the top photo labs in the world. We use the same papers and equipment used by leading labs to produce long-lasting photo prints, so you know your layout will be reproduced with high fidelity and will last throughout the years.
  8. Can I order classic products and Studio J layouts and have it ship to me in one shipment?
    Studio J orders cannot be combined with any other type of order. Studio J layouts are processed and shipped separately from all other Close To My Heart products.
  9. What kind of receipt do I receive when I place my order?
    When you place your order, you will be directed to a printable receipt page. You will not receive an email receipt at this time; however, if you are shipping to the continental United States or Canada, you will receive an email notification sent from FedEx or Landmark when the order is shipped.
  10. What if I don’t like my layouts when I receive them?
    All Studio J products are backed by the Close To My Heart guarantee, but user error is not covered by this guarantee. When you are ready to purchase your layouts, you will be asked to look at them again and give final approval. Projects that print as shown on the approval screen will not be eligible for returns. When there is a manufacturer’s defect, however, we will be happy to replace your layout. See the Studio J terms and conditions for more information on our return policy.
  11. What is the difference between custom layouts and Express Collections?
    The only difference between layouts you create through the custom creation path and the Express Collections is that with Express Collections layouts, most of the creation is done for you; all you need to do is drop in your photos, add your journaling, and order your layouts! Express Collections are ordered the same way as custom-created layouts, can be combined with layouts from other collections or created via the custom path, and cost the same as the custom layouts.
  12. What is the Photo Express Collection?
    The Photo Express Collection is an assortment of templates meant for photos only, allowing you to print photos on the highest quality paper for use in your layouts. There are 7 mixes from which to choose, and your options for photos sizes are very diverse! Choose to print several small photos or an array of larger photos according to your needs. You will find this photo-sizing option especially valuable for use in your Picture My Life™ albums, where an assortment of photo sizes is needed.
  13. What guidelines accompany use of the Photo Express Collection?
    The capabilities you already enjoy with any other Studio J™ collection are still available to you within the photo-only templates of the Photo Express Collection, including photo editing, resizing, and more. Note, however, that using the mat feature within the Photo Collection may cause your photos to become misaligned. For this purpose, we do not recommend using the matting feature whatsoever in these specific templates. Should you choose to do so, your layouts may print unevenly and Close To My Heart will not be liable to reprint or refund them.

    These photo-only layouts are meant to give you the highest quality photo prints at an outstanding price, and once they are printed and in your hands, you can mat, embellish, and beautify to your heart’s content!
