I have had a tremendously busy year and my blog has fallen to the way side, but I would love to keep in touch with you and let you know what is happening in my family and my creation times.
So please forgive the absence in the last few months, and check out my blog on Fridays because I am going to start posting again.
Meanwhile watch this cute video on how to make some neat hair pieces. One of my friends tried the large cloth rosette yesterday and it came out great!
Always, Alayne

Amelia Rose.....a bit of art for my precious granddaughter!
These are snapshots of the album I entered in the CTMH contest at Convention. I didn't place, but I had the joy of making special pages for my sweet Amelia Rose's first birthday. Enjoy! Always, Alayne

ARTBOOKING: A chance to see the fantastic cuts from this cricut cartridge Thursday 7/11!
Convention has come and gone in a whirlwind and now I am ready to show you all the great new products from Close To My Heart. I will be having an official open house in September, but there is a sneak peak this Thursday in my Versailles, Ky home at 1: 30 PM.
I will show you why you must own an ARTBOOKING cartridge yourself and give you a 20% discount for pre-orders in the month of July.
My bundles have already arrived from convention so you can see a lot of the new products and innovations from Close To My Heart.
I also have a new Idea book for you that goes live August 1st.
Come "play" with me this Thursday.

Cricut Class: Additional Information
I have been having a great time sharing my limited knowledge with friends as they learn how to use ARTISTE and ART PHILOSOPY using their cricut mini's and craftroom.com. This is a new technique that you will want to try out, personalizing your cricut cuts by resizing and layering to make unique cutouts. Try it and post your creations!
There will be a new cricut class beginning March 30th. It runs for two Saturday afternoons from 1 pm to 4pm. You will have an opportunity to purchase Close To My Heart Cricut cartridges for my discount if you join the class. The class fee is $40.
Meanwhile, sign up for a free account at Cricutroom.com and begin designing on the ARTISTE and ART PHILOSOPHY cartridges, even if you don't own them yet. Then I will show you how to play!
Have a great week crafting.

Traditional, Digital or a little of each type of Scrapbooking?
I absolutely love papercrafting and scrapbooking photos of my family and life.
It is a joy to work with pictures, paper, accents, acrylic stamps, ribbon and many more fun products to capture my memories. But sometimes I can't take the creative mess so I use Studio j to create some digital scrapbook pages to fill out my photo albums.
One of the fun features found on Studio J (you can find this program, free, on my OBA website: Alayne.ctmh.com )is a blank page called "No Limits". This is a great place to upload 12 x 12 digital files that you create to add to your photo albums.
If you are new to digital you might not know how to create a page from scratch. I usually use Photoshop Elements to create my "No Limits" pages. Now I have found a new (and reasonably priced) digital photo program that is easy to use and a fun way to make digital scrapbook pages. I am so excited about this software, I have found a way for you to get it too—at an affordable price. Simply go to http://www.mymemories.com/digital_scrapbooking_software and use STMMMS58008 in the promo code box on the shopping cart page! You will get $10 off the software (reduced price of only $29.95), plus you get a coupon for $10 for the MyMemories online store.
I will be giving one of these software suites away in a random draw from anyone who leaves a comment about this program on this blog, or orders one of the my memory suites using my code (STMMMS58008 ) for $10 off. It would make a great gift for you or someone you love who loves scrapbooking.
If you have any worries about using this program or creating on Studio J remember that I offer free workshop and training in my Versailles, Kentucky home on Thursday afternoons between 1:30pm and 4pm. RSVP by calling 859.421.4423 or e-mail me: Alayneswillinghands@gmail.com.
I will continue posting pictures of my Summer Europe Trip and my beautiful grand children and will show you some of "No Limit" layouts using the new My Memory suite.
Have a great week and enjoy preserving your photos of the times and people you love.
