Art Attack!

Happy Thursday!

I have been busy this week getting ready for my youngest daughter's birthday.  Payton Marie is turning 10 on Saturday.  DOUBLE DIGITS...I still cannot believe it!  Anyway, turing 10 is a BIG DEAL and calls for a BIG celebration.  Payton chose to have a GLAMPING party this year.  She and 5 of her friends will be glamorous campers on Saturday and will be sleeping in our family tent out in the backyard Saturday night.  I have been having a blast making decorations and goodie bags, etc.  The CTMH Cricut ARTISTE bundle has made it so easy!

Below is a fun video showing how to add "POP" to your party projects and every day projects, as well.  Gotta love the sponge daubers!  I think I order a pack with every order I place-thats how much I love and use them!

Enjoy the video!

I am so excited to start this club!  It is designed to help everyone become better educated with Studio J, offer a new approach to preserving memories and for us get the most out of the Studio J Scrapbook Program. Enjoy companionship, challenge, and creativity either in person or virtually.  Each month we’ll learn a new technique while creating a 2-page layout.  Complete step-by-step instructions will be handed out (or emailed to virtual members) at class.  These are yours to take home with you.  They will make a GREAT reference as you create more Studio J layouts at home.

Studio J has had some amazing updates!  No longer do you need a membership, and Studio J orders can now be associated with a  Gathering, meaning Studio J purchases may qualify for and contribute to Hostess Rewards.  

I will be hosting a monthly online meeting where participants can call in and log in on their computers and actually see and hear me demonstrate the monthly layout-this is especially for virtual Divas but all Divas are welcome!  Information about each virtual class will be given out one week prior to us meeting.

Our first class will be held on MONDAY, OCTOBER 22nd

Diva Drawings will be awarded for every layout you purchase and send me the JPEG!

I am eager to hand out prizes so we will get started right away:

I am inviting you to watch the first “How-To training video in Studio J titled “Step-By-Step Basics”  and then create a layout-when you do you will get your name in a drawing. One in every 5 people will win a prize.  If you purchase a layout and send me the purchased JPEG, you will get your names in twice.  

To get started log into StudioJ.com and scroll down to the bottom.  You will see a link to “Videos.”  Click on this to watch! Then you can go to my website (amy.ctmh.com) and set up your account (if you have not done so yet).  Click on Online “products” and then “Online Scrapbooking.” The computer will take you step by step through the process.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Wait!!!!  there’s MORE!

During the month of October when you buy 9 custom-printed layouts in Studio J, you will receive a 10th layout for FREE!  To receive the discount you just add 10 or more layouts to your cart during the month of October and the discount will be reflected in the order total.  Buy 9, get 1 free.  Buy 18, get 2 free.  Buy 27, get 3 free.  Up to 4 FREE layouts!  Give Studio J a try (or continue to use it)for fast and easy memory preserving!

Are you organized?

Happy Friday!!!!!

I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!
Do you have craft supplies scattered all over your house?  Do you find that you purchase duplicates of certain things because you can not find them?  Close To my Heart introduced a wonderful new organization system back in August when the Autumn/Winter Idea Book came out.  I absoutely LOVE these boxes and foam inserts!  They are perfect for housing all your stamping and scrapping supplies but are also fabulous for organizing other supplies and items, as well.  I recently purchased the medium organizers for my daughters to put all their American Girl doll accessories in.  They had so much fun organizing all their miniature funness and love having everything in one spot that is easy to pick and go play whenever and where ever!

Take a peek at the video to see more!

And don;t forget that Sunday is the last day to purchase the September Stamp of the Month and the NAtional Stamping Month Exclusive Stamp Sets...for just $5.00 each with a qualifying order!

Studio J Express Collections

Happy Friday!

Today I am sharing a video with you about the Studio J Express Collections that made their debut in August.  Have you tried Studio J yet?  I was thrilled when my BFF FINALLY tried Studio J.  She is in LOVE!  She had lost interest in scrapbooking with paper, adhesives, stickease, etc.  She went to my website and started playing with Studio J and fell in love.  She has created over 10 layouts in the past 3 days.  She is hooked and her love for scrapbooking and preserving memories has blossomed again.

Take a peek at the video below and then hop on over to my website to play today!  It is all free.  You only pay for what you purchase!

I hope you will make a layout today!

Make it a wonderful weekend!

Spanning the Space

Today I am sharing another fun technique video that highlights the wonderful Close To My heart Acrylic stamps.  CTMH was the first company to come out with Acrylic stamps and they are, in my opinion, far more superior than any other acrylic stamps in the industry.

The video below will teach you how easy it is to stamp on a variety of surfaces and shapes using the CTMH stamps.  I absolutely LOVE the stamp set highlighted in the video.  I think it is one of my all-time favorites!

Enjoy!
