Retirement Reminder

jencaputo-retirementsale-banner

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.

Retiring...

jencaputo-retirementsale-banner

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.

jencaputo-retirement-sale-500

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.

Still a Scrapper!

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.

Milwaukee-2010

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.

New Double Page Sketches

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!!

jencaputo-collection33-preview

Here's a few sample layouts from Denali, Nikki, and Brandi.

New sketches! And Lost!

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.

_web-2010-02-02-1 

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...)

_web-2010-02-02-3

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.

_web-2010-02-02-2

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?

DIY Wall Hanging & New Sketch

I did a little DIY project for Adam's aunt Karen's Christmas gift. 

_web-2009-12-25-4

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.

_web-2009-12-25-1

The K's & M's are for her initials.

_web-2009-12-25-3

Sewing these stems sucked.  But they look cute right?

_web-2009-12-25-2

The buttons are from the Vintage button collections at Papertrey Ink. 

 

I also got my template together for a 2009 Year in Review layout.

jencaputo-2009yearinreview

And Rebecca W (aka Denali) created this layout with it:

RebeccaWilken-2009YearInReview

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!

End/Beginning of Year products

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:

image

Or maybe you've decided to tackle project 365 this year! (Or want to scrap your Project 365 pics from last year)

image

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.

Shutterfly Photo Book Giveaway!

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:

  • New 7x9 photo books with personalized soft photo covers starting at $15.99. These are great for people who like to make 8x11 books but want a smaller, more affordable option to use for gifts.
  • Soft photo covers on the existing 5x7 and 8x8 books, both at great starting prices of $12.99 and $19.99 respectively.
  • The flagship 8x11 photo books with a hard photo cover.

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:

  • You'll need to make your book by the end of the month as the coupon code I'm going to give you expires 11/30/09
  • All entrants must be in by 11:59PM CST TODAY (Saturday 11/7/09)
  • I will send out the coupon codes on Sunday so you can get started on your book!
