Day 8 of Blog Train, Wonderfully Wordy & Grab Bag Reveal!
I can’t believe that it’s already the 8th day of October! This first week has really flown by with all of the Digitals’ Birthday Bash events going on along with all of the normal beginning of the month things to tend to at home and also for designing … I definitely will need a nap once it’s all over. But as it is the 8th, that means two things ... time for a new challenge & to reveal my grab bag! First, the latest round of my Wonderfully Wordy Word Art (try saying that 3 times really fast – LOL) Challenge at Gotta Pixel has started. Each month for this challenge, I provide you with a wonderful piece of word art to use to create a layout with. And, if you post your page by the 7th of the following month, before the new challenge begins, you’ll also receive a posting bonus! You can read all of the challenge details and download the word art in the Wonderfully Wordy Challenge Forum by clicking on the linked text or the word art preview above. Hope to see you all there!
And as today is the last day of our Birthday Bash it’s also the last day that you can partake in the 30% OFF Sale as well as the last chance to purchase my Personal Use Grab Bag #2, containing three new designs for $3.00. All designs in this bag can be used for your S4H/S4O endeavors under my Angel Policy. If you’d like more specific details on what is and what is not covered, you can read my entire Angel Policy in the grab bag’s description. And in case anyone missed my links to the previews of the contents of my bag yesterday, here are the previews themselves. Included in my bag this time are my three newest designs - Autumnal Equinox Kit, Autumnal Equinox Brag Book, and Just Journaling Layered Templates – Set #1 (.PSD, .TIF, and .PNG files included):
And, last but not least, on to the blog train goodie for today! This download has now been removed.
I will be taking a break from blogging this long weekend (Jason actually gets the day off on Monday!), but please check back on Tuesday for more news and a new little goodie!
Happy Scrapping,
Jen
Day 7 of Blog Train & Scads of Sunflowers!
Each year for Christmas my husband always gets me a basset hound calendar to hang in my office, and I always get him the USPA’s Skydiving one for him to hang up in his office at work. While his is probably considered to be “cooler” than mine - LOL, I love looking at all of the different hounds each month. Generally, there is at least one photo in the lot that looks like one of our three bassets – Baxter, Molly, or Klaus - so that generally makes me enjoy it even more. This year though, for the first time in the past seven since we’ve had this tradition, none of the dogs pictured seemed to have the same look as ours. I did find one, however, that I absolutely loved despite of that, and it happens to be this month’s picture (above) … an adorable basset puppy surrounded by sunflowers! I know a lot of people often associate sunflowers with summer, but for some reason I’ve always thought of them as being perfect for fall. I think it’s because when I was younger, my mother had a grape vine wreath that she had decorated with all kinds of autumn-y craft things - a little scarecrow doll, silk leaves, acorns, fall colored gingham ribbon, etc. – but it also had silk sunflowers intertwined throughout! It always hung on our front door throughout the fall, coming down just for the week of Halloween so that one made of plastic canvas Jack-O-Lanterns could be put up for the trick-or-treaters.
While I like just about any kind of flowers, sunflowers are one of my favorites, so when we went to Cyprus Gardens here in Florida one spring a few years back when my Dad was here for a visit, I took tons of photos of them in their botanical gardens. Once I got home and went through my photos, I found that I captured a beautiful shot of one in full bloom with the light shining down on it just perfectly. Ecstatic, because I am generally not that good of a photographer – LOL, I extracted the flower from my photo and created an entire kit around it which I called Shabby Sunflowers with the result shown above. And, while it’s not your typical fall kit, I think it has fantastic colors for scrapping fall photos. This is another of my kits that will be retired very soon to be used in my “special project” so grab it while you still can, at 65% off (just $2.25) by either clicking on the linked text or preview provided above. This kit is also included in my Clearance Bundle, which is also still available in my Digitals store.
And because designer’s can never seem to stop designing once they get on a roll – LOL – I’ve also created a coordinating Basic Grey “BRACKET” Album, a 4”x6” Brag Book Album, and a cute pair of
12”x12” Quick Pages, all on sale for 30% off until the end of the Birthday Bash Sale tomorrow for $3.50, $2.80, & $2.45 respectively. You can get more details about the items or purchase them by either clicking on the linked text above, or on the preview provided.
And don’t forget to pick up my second-ever Personal Use Grab Bag, available for $3.00, exclusively at Digitals until tomorrow! My grab bag contains 3 all-new products valued at over $12.00. You can purchase it by clicking on the preview or link above. I also gave you a few subtle and one not-so-subtle – LOL – hints about what was in my bag, but if you really can’t stand the suspense any longer, you can take a peek at Part 1 HERE, Part 2 HERE, and Part 3 HERE. But shhhh … it’s a surprise remember!
And, last but not least, on to the blog train goodie for today! This download has now been removed.
Please note that each page will be available for only 1 day! And as a reminder, I will be posting to my blog every day sometime before NOON, EASTERN, so you should check back each day after that time for the download link. If you miss a day, don't worry ... the complete set of templates will be available in my Digitals store at the end of the promotion!
See you tomorrow with more news & goodies!
Happy Scrapping,

Day 6 of Blog Train, Little Bundles & A Missing Skunk!
There was some excitement for a half hour or so yesterday afternoon in the Maceyunas household when we couldn’t find our youngest skunk, Jasmine. Usually when Jason is home, and I’m going to work on the computer, I bring my laptop out of my office and sit on the couch beside him. And usually, little Jazzie is sitting (well sleeping more often – LOL) there right beside me. Jason took this photo of her beside me just this past week, and I thought it was so cute I just had to share! Well yesterday morning while I was working on getting everything posted for the blog train, she started to wander around instead of just sitting, so I let her down on the floor figuring she either had to use the littler box, wanted a drink, or something like that. Later, when we were getting ready to eat lunch and Jason went looking to round up all the skunks to put them in the laundry room while we ate (they’re shameless beggars!), he found everyone but Jasmine. We weren’t worried at first, because they have favorite places that they sometimes like to go to sleep … our bedroom closets, under my desk in the office, in one of the baskets of doggies toys amidst the stuffy/squeaky toys, under the couches, in any laundry baskets if they’re left out for more than 5 minutes with clean clothes in them … so we just started making the rounds of their usual spots and figured she would be in one of them – but no! So I started to get anxious thinking that maybe she snuck out when one of us was letting the doggies or perhaps she followed Jason out into the garage when he went out there for something earlier in the morning. So we frantically started looking for her outside and then out in the garage, but to no avail.
Amidst all of this, I accidentally knocked into the dogs’ water bowl and made a flood on our tile floor. So not wanting to make the situation worse by having someone slip and break something, I went over to our oven and opened the bottom drawer to get a cloth to wipe up the mess, and this is what I found … one small skunk, all bundled up amongst the pot holders, kitchen towels, and cleaning cloths – sound asleep! The camera just happened to be out on the counter, because I had been getting ready to transfer some pictures off of it, so I couldn’t help but take a photo of the little stinker.
She actually stayed sleeping until I called to her, and then she proceeded to climb out as if nothing unusual had happened – LOL – sniffing around to see why we wanted her. So, thankfully she was just in a new “hiding spot” and all ended well. Jason’s going to get a baby latch for the oven drawer on his way home from work tonight and that will be locked up just like all the cabinets in the house. Oh, did I mention they’re mischievous – LOL? Way more so than our nephew ever was when he was little that’s for sure. We installed baby latches on all of the lower cupboards, bathroom vanities, and bi-fold closet doors to the pantry shortly after we got Tinkerbell, because she was determined to get into each one to see if there was anything interesting to explore and/or any food to be had. Now that everything’s secure (or will be by this evening – LOL), we don’t have to worry about them getting into anything they shouldn’t. Other than their curiosity, they’re really excellent pets, and Jasmine is probably the sweetest of the bunch because she’s “the baby”.
And while we’re talking about babies - LOL, all parts of my Little Bundle Boy & Little Bundle Girl Collections are on sale for 30% off during the Birthday Bash. For each gender I created a full sized kit (separate element and paper packs also available), brag books, coordinating felt alphas, quick pages, and digital sticker sets … everything you could possibly need to scrap about baby! As my DH and I don’t have any children yet, I have to live vicariously through those who do – LOL – so I had originally made these kits for one of my very best friends who was pregnant but had chosen not to learn the sex of the baby before it was born. I don’t know how she and her husband managed … I just would have had to have known – LOL – but, she said several of the mommies to be that she met during both her pregnancies chose to be surprised too!
When she told me that fact, I had the brain storm to create my Little Bundle Add-On Kit, Little Bundle Add-On Felt Alpha, and Little Bundle Add-On Brag Book in shades of gray and white for those in that same situation. I also thought that these would be great if people wanted to scrap their little ones in colors other than the traditional blues and pinks, because they could easily recolor the gray to whatever they wanted! This kit, alpha, and brag book are currently in my clearance section and will be retired very soon as they’re going to be used in a special (but secret at this time – LOL) project. So grab these three designs, while you still can, at 50% off (just $2.25, $0.75, and $3.00 respectively), by either clicking on the linked text above, or on the preview provided.
And, last but not least, on to the blog train goodie for today! This download has now been removed.

Day 5 of Blog Train & Fabulous Fall Things
Let me start off today by saying how excited I was to see several girls from Wisconsin post in the comments section that they call water fountains bubblers in their home towns too. I just had to show my DH, because I think he secretly thought that I had just made this whole term up or perhaps that my family did – LOL!
Last night while Jason was watching all those MMA fights that were on CBS (not my cup of tea to watch people punching at kicking at each other - LOL), I took a few minutes to finally make my October desktop calendar. As I've mentioned in the past, I usually “feature” some of our pets on them, and I usually ask Jason who he wants me to use pictures of when I create them. Well, last night he was so engrossed in this martial arts thing … men and their TV - sheesh … that I decided to just pick this time! I chose one of our prairie dogs, Porter, to use because I thought he would “go” with the fall colors of the desktop quick page that I chose, and because he’s so small (only about ~8” tall & ~ 6 lbs – maybe pushing 7 now that he’s packing on his winter weight – LOL) it was easy to crop the photos to fit in the filmstrip and still be able to get a good look at him. So, the above is the resulting desktop that’s now on our laptops and will soon be put up on Jason’s computer at work so all of his co-works can see yet another of our menagerie. It was designed by Kim of Simply Sweet Designs @ Scrap Matters with her Hoo’s Ready for Fall Kit which is just adorable – love those owls!
The fall things that I’ve designed thus far are more “realistic” style-wise, having used some of my own foliage photography. First, I have my Collage Frames – Fall Edition that are great to use either as page toppers or to create photo gifts for family and friends. Secondly, I created a set of photo-realistic papers from some of my pictures that I took during a visit to a friend’s house who lived in beautiful Burlington, Vermont at the time. I called this collection my Fall Flair Paper Pack. I’ve also included a pumpkin patch photo-realistic background that’s not shown in the preview above that I took at a local farm when we went pumpkin picking … definitely not something I get to do here in Florida – LOL! I also created a kit using some of the close-up foliage photos that I called … what else … Fall Foliage - LOL! These are all on sale for the Digitals Birthday Bash as well. The Collage Frames and Fall Flair Paper Pack are both on sale for 30% off, making them just $1.75 and $1.23 respectively, and the Fall Foliage kit is on special for 54% off, making it just $1.50! If you’d like to check them out in more detail or purchase them, please click on the linked text or previews above.

Day 4 of Blog Train & Home and Hearth Kits
Well it seems that with all of the great goodies being given out of late on 4shared, they’ve been having some problems handling all of our traffic! I hadn’t checked back on my blog last night, because when I tried out the download it worked just fine, so I apologize to those of you who had some problems not being able to download due to all the traffic. One of my creative team girls actually e-mailed me to alert me to the problem this morning (thank you Teri!), so what I did before preparing this post was upload yesterday’s zip file to an alternate location, so that if 4shared is still giving you some troubles, you can download it (this download has now been removed) instead. I’ll also keep both links active until I post my entry tomorrow morning. As with the download links at 4shared, please do not share it with others, but please do send them here to my blog to download it from here.
Now without knowing that all the business with my 4shared download was going on – LOL – I was thinking what a beautiful morning it was when I went outside to let out doggies out. Here on the East coast of Central Florida today it’s clear, sunny, and in the upper-70s with a nice little breeze … just perfect for sitting out on the lanai. That’s what they call the little covered porch areas behind the houses here in Florida. Back in New England we just called them patios, and not too many people had them. While I was standing out there, it actually reminded me of the first time a friend who’s lived here in FL since she was small invited me over to scrapbook. It was just about this time of year and the weather was equally lovely, and she asked if I wanted to go and scrapbook on the lanai. I said “Um, sure!” not knowing where the heck we were going - LOL. And then when we got out there, I said, “Oh, you meant out on the patio!” and she started laughing and asked what the heck a patio was. It’s really funny how different areas of the country have different names for the same things! The one my husband loves to tease me about most is that in Rhode Island, my home state, we call water fountains (the kind you drink from), bubblers. Nowhere else in the country, except for maybe a few areas of MA that border RI, call them this apparently! On our first date I took Jason on a tour of the UF campus where I was going to graduate school, and when I took him inside one of the buildings, he asked if there was a water fountain around. So, I promptly told him there was a bubbler just down the hall. Well, after looking at me like I had three heads, he asked what a bubbler was, because he just wanted a drink of water – LOL! He’s from CT, so I thought for sure he would know what a bubbler was! To do this day he still teases me about it.
But I digress … the whole weather & lanai thing made me think about while I do miss being in New England at this time of year because the foliage is just beautiful, I really do love living in Florida. And I also really love our home as well. We must have looked at (without exaggeration) about 50 houses before we finally found the one we're now in, which we both loved. This house, our home, was definitely the inspiration behind one of my newest kits that I ended up naming Home & Hearth, pictured above. I know designers say this all the time once they finish a kit – LOL – but I really do think this is one of my most favorite designs. In fact, I went overboard when I was designing and ended up with so many extra pieces that I decided to create an Add-On kit as well, pictured below. Both are on sale for 30% off during the Birthday Bash Event, making them only $4.55 and $1.75 respectively, until October 8th! You can see larger images and find out more details about both by either clicking on the linked text or the previews. And don't forget to check out my second-ever Personal Use Grab Bag, available exclusively at Digitals for $3.00 until October 8th. My bag contains 3 all-new products valued at over $12.00. And I'll give you two little hints about the contents here! First, if you like my Home & Hearth kits pictured here, you'll love the full-sized kit that is one item in my bag as it's been designed in a similar style. Secondly, if you look at the preview (you can see it in my Day 1 Blog Train post HERE) you can get an idea of the beautiful, muted colors used to design the kit and coordinating brag book. I guess that's really three hints now isn't it - LOL?
And, last but not least, on to the blog train goodie for today! This download has now been removed.

Day 3 of Blog Train & October Sketchy Details Challenge!
As I mentioned in my first birthday blog train post, I’ve been scrapping a lot of pages in the 4”x6” brag book size, but I’ve also been using a lot of quick pages lately as well. With having so little time to actually scrap, I find they’re a huge time saver, and I am guessing that many other scrappers feel the same way. As a result, in my designing I’ve also been trying to create Quick Pages to go along with all of my kits, and this set shown above is my latest creation! This set was created with my Shabby Romance Kit and Shabby Romance Mini Add-On Kit which have recently been added to the Clearance section at 50% off for just $3.00 and $1.00 respectively! You can get more details about the kit and the mini add-on kit by clicking on the linked text above or on the previews below. As I’m also a perfectionist and a “filler” (I like to have all empty space filled with photos, embellishments, or journaling – LOL) so I love to be able to add to the Quick Pages with the matching kit. Doing that makes me feel like I’ve actually scrapped the page instead of just plopped in photos … I know silly – LOL!
I also have my regular Sketchy Details challenge going on this month at Digitals as well! If you'd like to participate in this month's challenge, you can find all of the details in the Sketchy Details Forum. And, if you post your layout in the Sketchy Details Gallery before October 31st, you'll get the very cute and funky Artisty of Digitals mini kit (shown below) designed by the very creative & talented Denise Liemert; one of my personal favorite designers … I love her cute style!
I've also created Scrap-A-Sketch Template #27 in two sizes, 12”x12” and 8.5”x11”, based upon this month’s sketch. You by no means have to use the template to participate in the challenge, but if you wish to do so, they're both now available in my Digitals Store, and you can purchase them by clicking on the previews below. During the Birthday Bashe Sale, these are also on sale for 30% off, making them just $1.05 each! These templates include the layered .PSD and .TIF files as well as the individual PNGs, so they should be able to be used in all of the different graphics programs.
And, now on to the blog train goodie for today! This download has now been removed.
Please note that each page will be available for only 1 day! And as a reminder, I will be posting to my blog every day sometime before NOON, EASTERN, so you should check back each day after that time for the download link.

Day 2 of Blog Train & Designer Element's Challenge!
After some Internet troubles yesterday afternoon and evening (for no apparent reason mind you, our skies were clear), I was worried that I wouldn't make it for Day 2 of our train. But, a technician from our ISP came out and fixed us back up first this this morning. I think they've been out about once per month for the past 9 months or so having to fix this or that for us. Do you think they might need to upgrade the old “stuff” they have us working off of - LOL? But, at least we're back on-line now, and I am able tell you about another fantastic event that I have going on at Digitals this month ... so all is well with the world again - LOL. Each month a different designer hosts the Designer Element's Challenge where they offer a free mini kit for scrappers to use to participate in the challenge, and this October is my month! You can read all the details about the challenge and sign-up HERE. Above is the preview of the mini kit, and it coordinates with my Hugs & Kisses Kit and Hugs & Kisses Glitter Alpha. I thought this was the perfect mini kit to use to scrap someone you love! No purchase is necessary to participate in the challenge, but if you are interested, the full Hugs & Kisses kit is on sale for just $2.00 (that's almost 70% off!) and both the coordinating glitter alpha and brag book are on sale for 50% off as well ... $1.00 & $2.00 respectively ... throughout the month of October. You can get more details about the kit, alpha, and brag book by clicking on linked text above or on the previews below.
And there is also a posting goodie for participating in the challenge! It is a mini kit that coordinates with the "Artistry of Digitals" October Mega kit and has been designed by my very talented friend Katie Mann! Here is a preview of the posting bonus for you:
And, now on to the blog train goodie for today! This download has now been removed.
Please note that each page will be available for only 1 day; however, I will leave the Day 1 download link up for a bit longer to make sure that everyone who wants to be on the train has gotten aboard! As a reminder, I'll be posting to my blog every day sometime before NOON, EASTERN, so you should check back each day after that time for the download link. If you miss a day, don't worry ... the complete set of templates will be available in my Digitals Store at the end of the promotion!
Also, I wanted to post a reply to a comment made by Betty yesterday about not being sure how to go about using layered templates. First, I want to say thank you for posting that, because you reminded me that I forgot to post something yesterday! I meant to tell everyone that I have included a .PDF tutorial in the zip file so that anyone who hasn't yet worked with templates with be able to learn how to do so! The first portion is specifically geared towards Photoshop users as that is the program that I design and scrap with myself. But, the second portion is written in a manner that is non-program specific and gives you all the basic steps for “covering” layers of the templates with background papers and/or recoloring them. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post here, and I'll do my best to answer them for you when I post on the next day. Just please be aware that while I'm well versed in PS & PSE, I'm fairly ignorant about PSP, so I may have to do some digging to get answers which pertain to that program – LOL!
And, last but not least, I also meant to post (I sure forgot a lot yesterday didn't I – LOL!) that while I generally include just layered .PSD and .TIF files with my Scrap-A-Sketch templates, I have begun to include the individual PNG files as well! One of my lovely and talented Creative Team ladies, Nancy Caulderon, explained to me that the program she uses to scrap with does not allow her to open those types of files, but she can open PNGs and use those to create pages from templates. So one of my “projects” one the blog train is over will be to generate and add PNGs to all of my layered templates in my stores. If anyone has purchased any of my Scrap-A-Sketch layered templates in 12”x12” or 8.5” x 11” - Letter Sized, my 1st set of Scrap-A-Sketch Layered Brag Book templates (5”x7”), or my Scrap-A-Card Layered Template #1 and you need the PNGs to be able to use the templates in your program, please contact me by e-mail (contact widget on the right-hand side on my blog), and I can get them to you. Also, if you are interested in purchasing any of them now while the sale is going on but have not done so because you need the PNGs, you can also buy them as is, and then contact me via e-mail, and I will get them to you as well.
See you tomorrow with more news & goodies!
Happy Scrapping,
Jen
All Aboard the Digitals Birthday Bash Blog Blowout Train!
I've determined and come to accept that I'm just a decidedly poor, or rather, inconsistent blogger – LOL! I had intended to take a short break after the Digitals Christmas blog train back at the end of July to get my house in order and catch up on designing things, but then one thing seemed to happen after another in the month of August, and we all know how that goes! Then, just as I was hoping for a quieter fall that would give me a bit more time to get back into blogging and working on some designs that have been “in progress” for a while, September came upon us and some other things came up – LOL! Isn't that always the way? I also have been teaching the fall session of my Digital Design Fundamentals Workshop that just ended last night. So as I haven't gotten a a chance to blog in a long time, when the ladies at Digitals decided to do another blog train to celebrate Digitals 4th birthday (I can't believe it's been that long!), I knew that I just had to participate ... so here I am! I know I have a lot to catch up on - LOL, but I'll try to do it in bits and pieces as the week goes on.
As far as what's going on right now ... I have so many fabulous things for the birthday bash it's hard to know where to start! But seeing as I have to start somewhere, let me start by telling you that you're going to want to visit my blog each day, starting today and going until Wednesday, October 8th after NOON, EASTERN to grab my goodies for the blog train! In addition to the train full of goodies, there is also a store-wide 30% off sale taking place where you can get a great deal on *all of my designs, both personal and commercial-use. (*Excludes classes, E-Books, and items already in the clearance section)
Also, as part of the Birthday Bash, I have my second-ever Personal Use Grab Bag, available for $3.00, exclusively at Digitals! My grab bag contains 3 all-new products valued at over $12.00. You can purchase it by clicking on the preview or link above, from October 1st through 8th.
In addition to the blog train, 30% off sale, and grab bag, I've also put together a collection of many of my classic designs for an incredible price ... just $30.00 for over $120.00 worth of items. The designs in this collection will be removed from the shelves of my stores this fall, so get them while you still can! You can see larger images and purchase this collection HERE. It's perfect for the new digi-scrapper just starting out or even for the seasoned scrapper wanting to add a variety of designs to their collection for a bargain price! All items are also available individually at clearance prices (see links in the store description) AND there are also over 90 additional items available in my section of the clearance category at reduced prices as well ... many newly added.
And, last but not least, the blog train goodie! With the holidays right around the corner, for this blog train, I've created a series of Scrap-A-Sketch Layered Brag Book Page Templates (4”x6”) as I thought they would be great for using to create little brag book albums to give to family and friends. I've actually started scrapping a lot of my photos in the 4”x6” brag book size, because they're so economical to have printed and to buy cute albums for! This download has now been removed. Please note that each page will be available for only 1 day. I'll be posting to my blog every day sometime before NOON, EASTERN, so you should check back each day after that time for the download link. If you miss a day, don't worry ... the complete set of templates will be available in my Digitals Store at the end of the promotion!
Please note that my TOU have been updated, and the most up-to-date version is contained within the zip file along with the template files (.PSD, .TIF, and PNGs). The new TOU has been updated to now specifically address freebies, samples, and any other promotional items that I offer. You can also view & download this new TOU document as a .PDF file HERE. Essentially the TOU states that while you may you any of my designs that you've purchased for S4H/S4O endeavors under my angel policy, you MAY NOT use any of my freebies, samples, promotional items, collaboration kit contributions, etc. for any commercial endeavors; you must purchase the graphics if you wish to use them in that manner. Please contact me via e-mail (contact widget on the left-hand side of my blog) if you have any questions on this. And thank you in advance for respecting my TOU :)
