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.

Digital Studio J Saves the Day!
Dear Friends,
It's hard to believe that it is already September and Fall is fast approaching.
It seems like I never take time to post on the blog, but I do want to share a
little of my special holiday with you.
My husband took me to Spain in May and we took a cruise around Italy
and a few other countries.
Having a busy summer kept me from crafting as much as I usually do,
but thanks to Close To My Heart and Studio J I was able to make a good
start on my memories.

Eventful summer, now time to SCRAP!
Dear Friends,
How can it be August already? I am so blessed with family, friends and events in my life that I have had no time to write about them! Since I last wrote I have had two beautiful little girls added to my family. Amelia Rose joined our family May 10th, and Olivia Rae was born June 30th. I feel I am too young to have 5 grandchildren already and another one to arrive early next year.
I know in past posts I have encouraged you to make memories rather than scrap them. Well, I have been following my own advice and have been enjoying the people God has placed in my life. It has been very rewarding and many memories have been made. Now that life has settled down a little, it is now time to scrap some of those precious times.
Please regroup, count your blessings, and join me in taking time to record your thoughts and pictures. I will be resuming my free papercrafting times on Thursday afternoons, between 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm.
I also want to remind you that I will be hosting an open house in my home August 25th at 9:30 am till noon. The new Idea Book will be featured and you will have a chance to see (and play with) some of the new colors and fantastic products offered by Close To My Heart.
There will be a chance for you to order the new Cricut cartridge ARTISTE at my price during the open house. It is a fantastic new cartridge that has endless possibilities. This is a great time to order this exclusive cartridge which comes with 3 stamp sets and 3 sets of dimensional elements. The price is usually $100, but you can get it for $77 on August 25.
So, I will try to be better about keeping in touch, but remember, even though I don't do a lot on the internet, I will always have time for you to come craft with me, or answer your questions on the phone or e-mail.
Have a great week!
See you at the Open House.
Always, Alayne

New Online Business Address has benefits for you!
I am excited that my friends and clients can now earn hostess rewards when they order Close To My Heart products online! It is easy and you can order while supplies last items and get hostess rewards for them also!
http://Alayne.ctmh.com
The next workshop is Saturday March 31st at 9:30am and we will try ordering on the web for this workshop. You can get your order delivered at home, or you can order at the workshop like we have previously. It is your choice.
I will also have a newsletter that begins early April that will have a lot more information to help you create fantastic projects using Close To My Heart products.
I have also recently made a you tube account. I am learning how to make videos to show you how to make things step by step and will try to embed them on this blog. I am apologetic for my lack of computer knowledge, but I know that even though my learning curve is large and slow to change I want to teach you how to celebrate your relationships through your creativity using special paper and products from Close To My Heart.
I have many blessings to celebrate, including a NED (no evidence of disease) diagnosis recently. God has reminded me during my times reading His Word that He gives us strength to deal with whatever comes our way. It sort of goes through God's filter before it hits us. That makes me very thankful for my family and friends that surround me. Let's make each other accountable to celebrate these blessings every day!
