Playing around with Facebook

March 5, 2010, 2:47 pm

I was searching online for information about whether you could search your Facebook statuses (still haven’t found out if you can) and came across a really interesting blog post by Rob Banagale called 5 Creative Ways to Hack Your Facebook Profile Photo. Now, I wouldn’t really call these “hacking” because you’re not doing anything wrong and to me, hacking implies malice. He’s got some cool tips on that blog post and I decided to play around with a photo and came up with this:

You can click the image to see it a little bigger. Or, if you are on my friends list on Facebook, check it out for yourself on my profile.

Now, I’m not normally a whimsy/fantasy type of scrapper,  but I like how my profile pic turned out! When I read Rob’s blogpost, I had that photo in mind. It’s one from 2006 of Lauren on a swing and I thought it’d be perfect for this “hack.” The chain link on the swing didn’t extract very well so I had to use a graphic for it and then decided to add the cute critters all around. (Those critters are actually a NEW PRODUCT of mine. Yes, I said new product! I have not created something brand new for sale in a long time. They’re not available just yet, but keep an eye on my iScrapbook store and they’ll be there within a week.) Here is a preview of them:

There are 16 items all made out of construction paper. How cute are they? Just to see if there is anyone reading my blog, if you want them for free, give me a little comment and they’re yours. Limited time offer!

All new 2-Day, 1-Dollar Debut Special! Monkey Boy!

January 11, 2009, 9:10 am

I’ve got a new kit and with it, I’m going to start a new promo for my SBB and ShopJMT kits – 2-Day, 1-Dollar Debut. For 2 days when I debut the kit, it will be at the low price of just $1. AND, better yet, I’ll have a bunch of $1 specials running those 2 days at ShopJMT, too. So, here is MONKEY BOY – get it at ShopJMT or SBB for just $1:

Wanna see more?

and elements…

And, here it is in action – some layouts by me & my creative team:

This one is mine & it’s my dog, who turns one the end of this week. Everything is from the Monkey Boy kit with the exception of the orange letter stamps from Comfort Zone:

Here’s one from Melissa, using just the Monkey Boy kit:

And two from Anna – she used the Monkey Kit and then in the 2nd one, my Photo Frame Basics (which are only $1 because they are in the “retired” section of my shop) for the negative strip:

And one from Julie:

Aren’t they all so adorable?! The kit really lends itself to those photos of your kids in trees, but you can see it’s versatile, as I used it on a dog layout & Anna for a baby layout. There are certainly enough elements for those little climbing monkeys of yours, but enough other stuff for any other layout.

Finally, don’t forget to check out the rest of my $1 specials at ShopJMT - there are a couple of full kits, some separates, an 3-pack alpha set and some element packs.

Happy New Year!

January 9, 2009, 4:33 pm

Oh, what? It’s a whole week into the new year already? Well, boy, where does the time go? I’ve taken a break from blogging, but am back & I have a little giftie for everyone. First off, have you picked up “I like it LOUD!” at SBE yet? For $4.99 you get one fabulous boy kit. It’s available only at SBE and here are some previews:

And, at the request of one of my CT members, I’ve created some frames to match the ones in the kit. Right now there are 2 pretty small frames in the kit – they are about 2×3 inches. So I’ve made a pack of 6 frames (3 plain, 3 embellished) in larger sizes – they are approximately 4×4, 4×6 and 5×7. The image is linked, so grab them here on my blog for free:

And, to see this kit in use, please check out these LOs by my creative team! Just click the image to go to the DST gallery with the bigger version.

Enjoy & be sure to check back on Sunday for a brand new product coming out that will be at a fabulous price! I’ll be starting a new 2-day, 1-dollar Debut for new kits, so be sure to stop by Sunday and Monday for information about the new kit!

Green: The New Black now in store!

September 7, 2008, 8:03 am

Here it is! Green: The New Black – And it’s In the Spotlight this week at SBE, so you can pick it up for just $3.74!

Go Green – it’s the new black!

Although I’ve been an environmentalist for years now, it seems that lately “going green” is very trendy. So why not go green with the digital scrapbook kit? Included are 6 green and brown papers – 2 solid greens, 2 solid browns and 2 patterned (recycled and solar power). Each is grungy and dirty. Elements include 4 different trees (not all shown in preview) and the trees come with separate tree trunks, 7 different leaves and then 4 pre-assembled trees. There are 3 birds (1 owl, a robin and a bluebird), a bunch of paper pieced grass, 3 sproingy strips, a sun, 3 epoxy buttons, 2 flowers (in 2 versions each), a postage stamp frame, a staple, a journaling label and some word art pieces. Word art includes a unique “Remember you Roots” colored stamp, a “Fragile” earth, a “Fragile” label, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, “Go Green” and “The New Black”. Finally, there are 2 hemp pieces – one plain and one adorned with beads that spell, “play.” Finally, there is an epoxy button lowercase alpha with numbers and {}!&,.?-* also included.

Everything has been created at 300ppi. Papers are 12×12. Some elements do contain drop shadows, as many are pre-assembled and require internal shadowing for realism. Special thanks to Atomic Cupcake.

Some additional previews:

Go and pick this up now. It’ll be at this price (which is 25% off) through Saturday. Tomorrow I’ll be revealing the details of a layout challenge and you’ll need this kit for it. You’ll have a chance to win a $10 coupon to my store at SBE with some second-chance prizes for $3 coupons to my store at SBE.
