Hey everyone,
Just wanted to remind everyone that my studio @ Scrapbook Graphics will close its doors this Sunday, October 31st at 11:59PM EST.
Remember, everything in my store is at least 55% off. If you have been eyeing anything, now is the time to grab it, before it's gone.
I'm guessing some of you have already heard but if you haven't, I wanted to tell you myself.
After nearly 5 years in the business, I've decided to retire from my career as a digital scrapbooking designer. For any of you that have followed my career, you've probably seen that since I bought a house, my productivity and activeness in the community has come to a screeching halt. I've been debating retiring for about 6 months now and a month ago, finally got the guts to email Maya and do it.
It is so sad to be saying goodbye to this part of my life but in all honestly, I'm hoping it's only temporary and that after the wedding and the holidays and a few more renovations, I might get my groove back and jump back in the game.
But for now, I'm out. I will be closing the doors to my studio at the end of the month. In the meantime - everything in my store is at least 55% off. If you have been eyeing anything, now is the time to grab it, before it's gone forever.
I wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been my customers over the last 5 years. You have no idea how much it means to me that you would choose to spend your digital scrapbooking budgets with me. I hope that you will continue to share your creations with me even if I'm not hanging around the community much anymore.
I have got the mother load of sample templates for you this month thanks to the girls of Studio Rosey Posey's CT! A lot of them jumped up and tackled these templates and I'm so pleased that they did. They are awesome scrappers and Rosey Posey's kits are awesome!
First off, check out the sketches
They're up at Scrapbook Graphics, right here. Now, check out all of these layouts!
I showed you my sample the other day but I forgot to show you the finished collection!
So here it is. I have lots of samples to show you too.
Pick them up right here. Use coupon code jc-35blog25 to get 25% off (expires June 27 @ 11:59PM EST).
Even though I haven't digi scrapped since October of last year (and April before that!) I'm still a scrapper. I actually really miss it, it's been way too long. Will someone find me just a few more hours a day? I think 4 would suffice.
I scrapped my Milwaukee trip last night. I finished some new templates (that should be up in the store by Thursday) and they actually inspired me to push some pixels around.
I used Miss Vivi's To Do Kit @ SBG. Along with Sketch Collection #35 which will be in my store shortly.
I woke up a little early this weekend and got some new templates done.
And I have a whole bunch of samples for you!
You can pick them up right here if you like them!
I didn't have time to do up a fancy ad or anything so I'll keep this short and sweet :)
Happy (inter) national scrapbooking day!
40% off everything in my store using coupon code jc-insd10-40. Expires Monday, May 3rd at 11:59PM CST.
Have fun!

Here are a few layouts that Carola from the Studio Crew created with my templates and the rest of the Creative Fusion collab.
I promise ;)
Coming April 18.
There's so many different trends out there in the digi-scrapping world but I remain a bit of a traditionalist. I like simple designs with the focus on the photos. I'm more of an event scrapper than anything. That's why double-page sketches really tickle my fancy. You can display lots of pictures in big and bold style :)
Anyway, that's what inspired my latest set of double-pagers. Hope you like 'em!!
Here's a few sample layouts from Denali, Nikki, and Brandi.
If you like them, you can pick them up right here.
So have you guys been over to Scrapbook Graphics lately to see the total site re-design?
Pretty swanky, huh?
I decided the new look required a new sale - my first of the year!
35% off my entire store (at a minimum as some items are marked down even lower!) through Sunday night. You don't even have to use a coupon, just click here to start shopping. Of course, if you are a newsletter subscriber you can expect an even bigger discount :)
First off, who wants to talk about Lost? I'm obsessed... currently watching it for the 2nd time of the evening... leave me comments, tell me your theories, lets chat all things Lost!!!!
To celebrate the big premiere, one of my favorite people in the whole wide world came over and I cooked up some dinner. I made salad and brought out pizza toppings and hand made dough so we could cook up our own pizzas.
Kris (that awesome person I mentioned earlier) snapped these pics of me getting dinner ready.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the way you are supposed to toss dough but it worked well enough. (how do you like the random coffee pot on the floor in the background? Anyone want it? we got a new one and can't figure out what to do with the old one so it's just sitting on the kitchen floor...)
How 'bout that big burnt spot huh? Ha! Ok, let me tell you about this pizza. First off, I started off with this Sweet Provençal Flatbread with Anise Seeds dough. I topped it with honey, dates, pear, mozzarella, and goat cheese.
O. M. G. This was our first course but it pretty much tasted like dessert. It was so so good.
The burnt spot - that's honey that leaked off the top (and then burnt itself up). Did not affect the pizza flavor at all of course but Kris didn't take a picture of it looking pretty on the cutting board without the burnt spot.... oh well. Trust me... if you ever make your own pizzas, try topping it with honey, dates, pear, mozzarella, and goat cheese - your taste buds will thank you!
I put some new sketches up the other day, I just ran out of time to tell you all about them :) So come look now?
And a few sample layouts for y'all.
They are available right here for just $4!
I did a little DIY project for Adam's aunt Karen's Christmas gift.
I started with a $10 frame from Homegoods. Then I stamped on some pieced of canvas, sewed on a bunch of buttons, and called it good!
Here's some upclose shots of each panel.
The K's & M's are for her initials.
Sewing these stems sucked. But they look cute right?
The buttons are from the Vintage button collections at Papertrey Ink.
I also got my template together for a 2009 Year in Review layout.
And Rebecca W (aka Denali) created this layout with it:
She was quite the crafty girl last year wasn't she? You can pick up the new template, right here. I've got it marked down just over 20% right now!
Since I haven't gotten my booty in gear to make any new ones for this year yet, I thought I'd remind you of some of my prior products that are perfect for this time of year.
For instance, you may want to do your Year in Review page now, in which case, this template would work perfectly:
Or maybe you've decided to tackle project 365 this year! (Or want to scrap your Project 365 pics from last year)
Or... perhaps you are like me and have resolved, yet again, to drop a few pounds. Well how about joining me and creating a Weight Loss journal to track your progress? It helped me lose 26 lbs last year!
Use coupon jc-newyear2010 to take 35% off these goodies now through January 10, 2010.
Hey digi-girls! Need a last minute gift for someone? Well everyone knows that Cash is King but how about gussying it up? I threw together a few Money Card Templates for digital/hybrid scrapbookers based on the one I shared yesterday.
Check them out:
I've got them marked at just $1.50 right now, so go pick them up and whip up an extra special holiday card to make someone's day!
I'm a BIG fan of the Shutterfly Photo Books. In fact, you can see my previous ventures in printing Shutterfly books right here.
They turned out like this:
I love 'em! Anyway, I hear Shutterfly has some new books and that they have expanded their line to include personalized photo covers on ALL book sizes (and with lower prices). In addition to the existing hardcover photo books, they're now offering the following:
You can see the entire selection of photo books here: http://www.shutterfly.com/photobooks
So, I'm whiling away my Saturday morning over on Shutterfly's site making myself a book and I thought you folks might like to make one too!
I'm giving away 2 photobooks. All you have to do is leave a comment and let me know which of the new Shutterfly books you are most interested in!
Here's the fine print:
First up, let's see who Random.Org says won the new sketches! There were 141 entries so I'm choosing 10 winners!
So then I had to start counting...

Hey digi pals. I know some of you are still out there :)

For each one of the above things you do, you can leave another comment on this post giving you another chance to win!
Good luck!
I know this may sound hard to believe (since I haven't had a new pack out since April!) but, I have new sketches in the store today!
These are my favorites I've done in a long long long time (longer than April even, LOL!)
I was even inspired to scrap with them and we all know how long it's been since I've scrapped!
