In Their Own Words: Advisors' Studio System Reviews
“As a Creative Memories purist, I’ve never used a product like this. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed using the Layout Studio System. I thought it might take up too much room on my craft table, but it has actually created more space since my layout is now vertical. The Desk Mat also creates a smooth, non-slip work surface.
I loved being able to see my layout the entire time I was working while using my trimmer and other tools. Usually, I would have to either move my page or place the trimmer on top of it. By seeing my layout so easily throughout the creative process, I could quickly tell what looked good and what I wanted to change. My page came together faster than ever!
I’m so excited about this product. The Layout Studio System will improve the way I scrapbook.”
— Donna Guest, CM Design Team Contributor
“I’m often stiff and sore after a long day of cropping, and the new Layout Studio is a game-changer in this department.
Now I can easily elevate the layouts I’m working on up to a 60-degree angle. I’ve only been using the Layout Studio for a few days, and already I feel a huge difference. It has helped alleviate neck pain while I crop, allowing me to scrapbook longer.
I’ve even started using the Layout Studio on my desk while reading and editing documents.”
— LeAnna Marr, CM Design Team Contributor
“I am so excited about the Layout Studio! I love that I can add my pieces to the base pages, set them upright and move them as needed. Being able to see my layout vertically helps me determine where inking and stenciling will have the most impact before adhering anything.
Such an amazing product with so many benefits!”
— Brenda Rose, CM Design Team Contributor
“I am over the moon to save my back while I scrapbook! I will no longer have to be hunched over my tabletop — I can place the Layout Studio at a 60-degree angle and look almost straight at it. Coming from someone who has had previous back surgeries, this is a HUGE win!
In addition to that, I love that I can create without commitment by using the magnets to hold decorative pieces in place until I know exactly where I want them to go. Once everything is arranged and I feel confident with the design, I can simply remove the magnets and adhere the pieces.
Having my layout in an upright position also frees up space on my desk. It is my new ABSOLUTE must-have!”
— Melissa Ullmann, CM Design Team Contributor
“I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy using the Layout Studio until I started creating with it. I love being able to step back and see my entire layout while moving pieces around on the magnetic surface.
It keeps everything organized, makes designing easier, and the angled position is much more comfortable for longer scrapbooking sessions. It has quickly earned a permanent spot in my scrapbook space.”
— Diane Gutierrez, CM Design Team Contributor
