March Class Descriptions

Below are the classes we offer during March and explains a little more about them:

**Please remember that for nearly every class we offer YOU will need to bring: a trimmer, scissors, wet and dry adhesives and any basic tools.**

Cricut Original Class: This classwill take you through each step from plugging your Cricut in all the way up to showing you what each function button does. You will learn all the tricks and features of this great machine. (The Original Cricut cuts 6" x 12" paper)

Cricut Expression Class: This class is specifically for the Cricut Expressions (12" x12" or 12"x24" cutter). You will learn each button's function and help you get the most out of your Cricut Expression.

Scrapbook Basics: If you have never scrapbooked or are just getting started, this is the perfect class for you. Learn the basics of scrapbooking, tools to use and ideas to make beautiful layouts.

Cricut Design Studio Software Tutorial: This class will take you step-by-step through the exciting new computer software that hooks up to your desktop or laptop and allows you to do so much more with your Cricut. You may bring your laptop (please install the software before taking the class) and your Cricut to follow step-by-step OR you may just come and watch the demonstration.

Magnetic Board Class: Many have you have seen and admired the beautiful magnetic boards we have displayed around our store...now is your chance to make your own! You will be able to choose the paper that best matches your decor and we'll show you how to make a beautiful, useful magnetic board for your home or a gift.

"Preserving Your Heritage" Genealogy is so popular nowadays...seems everyone wants to know "who they are"! Now, we offer a class that will show you how to scrapbook your family's story and preserve all those memories for future generations. We will be making page kits from the wildly popular "Ancestory" collection and also get some tips on tracing your family's history.

Cricut Club: Cricut Club is a way for you to find out all the tricks of the new cartridges available for the Cricut (Original or Expression). Each month, we feature a different cartridge and learn all the "hidden" treasures of the cartridge and make a project with that cartridge to share with the class the next month. (We do ask that you HAVE the cartridge that is being featured.)

March Calendar

There are LOTS of opportunites to take classes and/or crop in March. Get a few of your friends together and join us for an hour or three for a "girl's night out" and learn something new while you spend quality time with your friends!

Emails

We have a new system for emailing customer information. I want to first apologize if you received the email more than once today. We had multiple people inputting the email addresses and I noticed after it was sent that we had some of the same addresses more than once. We thought (hoped) the program that we are using would catch that but it didn't look as if it did. Hopefully we can get that fixed before we send out another email. Sorry!

We are still working on inputting email addresses so if you have signed up in the past to be on our email list, we hope to have you added soon. If you have not signed up but would like to be on our list, please stop by the store to add your name. It is definitely a process and we're trying to get it all figured out as quickly as possible. I think you will like the new format-I know we definitely do!

Have a good weekend!
