Thread Tutorial in PSE

2012-01-29T00:00:00.000-05:00

One of my CT members asked me how to make thread for "tacking down a button" to a page she was working on. I quickly made her some "pieces" and made print screens as I worked so I could share it with anyone who might be interested. I used PSE6, but I'm sure you can use it in any version. So, let's get started!

I like to give my "thread" a rounded end, so I use the "rounded rectangle tool" found in the drop down menu when you click and hold your mouse on the Custom Shape Tool (indicated by the heart in your side tool bar). Or there is a teeny tiny arrow in the bottom right hand corner of the heart you can click to bring up the drop down menu. As you can see, I am really zoomed into my work area and the "stitch" I have drawn is less than 2/32nds wide. This stitch is for a 1" button. You may have to adjust the length a bit for your stitch, depending on how the holes are set in your button. Be sure to "simplify" (rasterize) your shape.

I printed this screen to show you the default settings at the top for the rounded rectangle tool. I did not change these settings any.

Now we are going to add some fiber texture to the thread. I "drew" my thread vertical because that is the way the fibers are preset to run. As shown in the print screen below, go to the filter menu and follow the path shown: Filter>Render>Fibers.

It's a little hard to see, but you can play around with the settings in this screen. I think the more variance the more fibers. I played around just a bit, but I forgot to keep a print screen of my settings I finally landed on, so this screen shot shows the default settings.

Here's the result (with the default settings).

Now it's time to add some color to your thread. I chose my foreground color and then just drew another larger rounded rectangle over the top of my threads. Simplify (rasterize) this new shape.

Now, we will change the blending mode of the new layer to overlay (see drop down menu shown in Layers palette on the right of the screen).

Now you can see the threads through the overlay layer. Group (aka clipping) the color layer to the fiber layer by following the menu path: Layer>Group with Previous (short cut key ctrl+G).

Next, merge the layers by following the menu path: Layer>Merge Layers (short cut key ctrl+E).

Voila! You are done with your thread! Drop your button in, rotate the thread as needed. Duplicate the thread (ctrl+J) and rotate it to criss cross the other thread if desired! My finished product is shown below.

You can further play around by adding a bit of shadow to the threads if you like. You could add a slight bevel to the threads, too, if you want. Depends on the look you like!

Now, suppose the thread showing through the overlay layer is not quite as dark (or light) as the color layer? Here is how you make an adjustment. Make sure your thread layer is selected and follow the menu path: Enhance>Adjust Color>Color Variations.

In the pop up window, at the top, you see a "before" and "after" window of your thread layer in the top portion of the window. Below that, you see a variety of ways to change the color of your thread. If you are only interested in making the thread darker or lighter, you will click in those boxes. If you want to go just slightly darker or lighter, just click in the appropriate box once and the "after" window in the top portion will change accordingly. When you think it is where you want it, click the OK button. You may have to play with this setting a couple of times before you get it just right.

I like to draw the color layer especially during my designing because when I change the mode to overlay, I can readily see whether or not I am going to want to darken or lighten the thread layer so it corresponds to my palette.

However, you COULD do an Edit>Fill Layer>Blending Mode: Overlay to your thread layer and skip drawing a color layer. BUT, sometimes it is hard to tell whether or not the thread is the correct color to match the kit colors. With practice, you will be able to determine which process you like the best.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read all the way through the tutorial. I hope it helps you in some small way! If you have questions or need me to explain any or all of this better, please feel free to leave a comment and I will try my best to answer your questions!

Tutorial Tuesday

2012-01-24T00:47:00.001-05:00

How would you like to learn to make a flower in PSE6 today? It is very easy. Just follow the print screens and instructions below.

First of all, determine how many petals you want on your flower. In my example below, I have 5 petals. We need to determine the degree of rotation for our petals as we duplicate the first one. Let's visualize how you determine this. If you draw a circle around your petals, they are going to touch the circle at 5 points. The space between each point is the arc. There are 5 arcs. Since the radius of a circle is 360 degrees, you will divide 360 by 5 to get the figure to use in your rotation of the petals.

The first thing you will do is "draw" a petal using the raindrop shape from the shapes palette.

Now, duplicate this raindrop (short cut keys are ctrl+J). You will now see from the layers palette on the right that there are 2 raindrops. Scroll your mouse over the boundary of the raindrop til you see an object that looks something like <-|-> and left click once. This will bring up the rotation menu bar at the top of the screen. The far left diagram is where you will tell the program to rotate the petal from the top center "reference point" of the raindrop by clicking on the top center point. (If you scroll over the diagram, you will read "reference point location." Further over to the right of this is a box with 0.0 (degrees) in it. Highlight these and replace by typing in the figure from your equation as determined by how many petals you have. If you enter a number with a minus in the front of it, your petal will rotate to the right. No minus and your petal will rotate to the left. Since I want to make a flower with 5 petals, I divided 360 by 5 and got 72 degrees.

Here's the result of your first rotation.

Now, click on your original petal (the one on the bottom) and duplicate it again. Set the reference point the same as you did for the first rotation. Since we rotated the first one 72 degrees, we will rotate this one 72 x 2 = 144 degrees. And here is he result of that rotation.

Now, duplicate the first petal again. This time we are going to rotate the petals to the right, so you will add a minus (-) sign to the front of your degrees (-72). Set the reference point and the rotation amount. Here's the result of that rotation.

And for the final petal, set the reference point and this time the degree of rotation will be -144. Here's the result of the rotation and your flower petals are evenly spread. Now you can merge all 5 layers and add your style or whatever.

Hope that helped you in some small way! Thanks for taking the time to read the tutorial and for stopping by Today!

Fall Fun for Decluttering and Some Shadowing Tips

2012-01-09T23:51:00.000-05:00

I signed up for a newsletter from "My Simpler Life" and received a Declutter Calendar. Not sure if that was a special deal when I signed up for it or not, but maybe you can check it out if you want. It is an Adobe PDF file that includes 12 monthly calendars and each is set up with a daily decluttering item. I won't be following it specifically, but if I get stuck, I thought it would give me some ideas for items to declutter.

Today's clutter came from my kitchen cabinets. I thought I would continue posting these to give you ideas if you have decided to take this decluttering challenge with me this year. And, also to give you some page layout ideas. This one is a very simple design. Lots of my layouts have more than one background paper. That is so that when I upload them for printing there won't be a problem of loosing any of the journaling because it helps me to keep my journaling within the boundary of the upper background papers, if you know what I mean. I used my kit, "Fall Fun" to create the page, mainly for the colors of some of the items I decluttered.

I wanted to give you a few tips on how I do alot of my shadowing on my layers. I use PSE6 right now. I have the full blown version of Photoshop on my wish list! But, unless my son can help me get it with a student id, I'll be saving for quite awhile! :D OK, go below these previews to take a look at how I do my shadowing, using today's layout as my example.

My Shadowing Technique

I like for my shadows to appear as if the light source is coming from directly in front of the page. In other words, as you look at my page, you would be the light source. But, when you apply the "low" distance drop shadow from the effects palette, the default settings are set for the light source to come from between 10 and 11 o'clock (120 degrees lighting angle as you will see in the next print screens) and this causes all of the shadow to be on the under side and to the right side of the element, the purple border in the example below.

So, this is how I tweek the settings to get the effect I want. In the layers palette, you will see the border element layer is highlighted. With my mouse, I double clicked over the "fx" to bring up the Style Settings dialog box.

I first change the "opacity" from the default setting of 75% to 50%. As you can see the only thing this does is to lessen the harshness of the shadow on the bottom of the element.....there is still no depth or dimension at the top of the element.

But, when you change the "distance" of the shadow to zero pixels, you now see there is a slight shadow at the top and bottom of the element. I am satisfied with this shadow and so I select the OK button. (If you want to apply this exact style setting to the other items on your page, instead of applying the style and then editing the style settings of every item on your page, copy the style setting by doing a right click on this layer that is still active in your layers palette and "copy layer style" then select the next layer you want to apply this style to and right click on the layer in the layers palette and "paste layer style.")

You are probably wondering when you would change the "size" of the drop shadow in the style settings dialog box and I am going to show you an example of that right now.

It depends on the "size" of your element. I copied the same style settings of the border above to the leafy flourish element shown in the print screen below. For me, this is too much of a shadow effect on this element. So, I opened the styles settings dialog box again by double clicking on the "fx" of this layer in the layers palette.

Then I played with the "size" until I found a setting I liked, which happened to be a size of 6 pixels.

Something else to keep in mind is how the elements are "laid out" on your page. For instance, since these 2 flowers are in different "layers" on the page (the one on your right in the print screen below is lying "closer" to the background paper while the one on your left is lying on top of a frame that is on top of the paper) I determined that I wanted more shadow on the flower on the left to give thickness to the frame, whereas the flower on the right is lying close to the background paper and therefore does not need much shadow. Same principle was applied to the orange paper and it's relationship to the purple paper. Clear as mud?? :D

Also, I did not put any shadow on the glitter splotches behind the frame because of the extra texture of the glitter I didn't feel it needed any shadowing. Plus the glitter would be kinda "glued" to the bg paper.

Thanks for stopping by Today! I would be interested in hearing if this tutorial helped you in any way! Scrap those memories before they fade away!

Decluttering of a Different Kind and FREEBIE Reminder

2012-01-08T21:29:00.002-05:00

A designer friend of mine, who retired from designing, pointed me to this blog, 365 Less Things. This is a decluttering challenge with the idea of getting rid of one item per day through the year. So, I've decided to take the challenge as my 365 project for 2012!

Today being a day of rest, I took a different approach to the challenge! I think you will like my decluttering today!

Make sure you check yesterday's post for the FREE Template! It will probably be gone by Thursday! Pass the word!

If you are interested in receiving these blog updates via e-mail, sign up on the right. There are 2 things you can sign up for.......I do a newsletter every so often and include an exclusive newsletter gift to those who subscribe to that. The other sign-up below the newsletter sign-up is the one for the blog post updates that I am trying to be better about doing this year!

Here's today's declutter page. I used my "Love, the Greatest of These" page kit.

A New Adventure for 2012 and a FREE Template

2012-01-07T20:49:00.000-05:00

A designer friend of mine, who retired from designing, pointed me to this blog, 365 Less Things. This is a decluttering challenge with the idea of getting rid of one item per day through the year. So, I've decided to take the challenge as my 365 project for 2012! And I thought I would share with you what I've done so far. This is only my 2nd day, but I think I've made up for the first 5 days that I missed, since the object is to do ONE item a day so as not to get overwhelmed with the project. These items were in the same general area, so it was not overwhelming to get rid of more than one item at a time!

I used my "A Fresh Start" kit and bits and pieces from the add-on and sampler. The kit is 20% off through January and the sampler is free and the add-on can be had for free through January, too (see store for details).

So, what do you think? Are you interested in taking the challenge with me? The layouts are linked to my gallery at Digitals if you would like to leave me some luv! Thanks in advance!

FREE TEMPLATE

I was in the mood to make a template out of my first page shown here, so I thought I would whip it up and include it in this post. It will be available for approximately a week, maybe more maybe less. It depends on when I remember to unlink it, LOL!

In the download, you will find the PNG files, the JPG file and the PSD file. Hope you enjoy it! Click on the preview for the direct download.

Newsletter Gift

2011-12-22T00:00:00.000-05:00

I've been working on a very icy cold kit that will release tomorrow. And I had a few extra papers that I did not include in the kit, so if you have not yet signed up for my newsletter to receive exclusive gifts such as these papers, it's not too late! Sign up is in the column to the right. Here's the current gift that I will be sending out.

$2 Tuesday on Wednesday.......

2011-12-21T01:22:00.000-05:00

I gave you wrong information about the $2 Tuesday items. They are also available on Wednesday, too! And even thought today is the first day of winter (here in the States, anyway) you have another day to buy my Glorious Autumn Days kit for $2 and get scrappin' on those Fall pictures before your memories fade away!

Here's a preview of the kit and I have a free sampler in the store for you to grab, too, while over there. That preview is below, too. And, in case you missed yesterday's post, I'll share some inspiration with you, too, to give you some ideas!

There are other deals in the store, too! And if you sign up for the newsletter while you are there, you will ALWAYS know about the goodies on $2 Tuesday and have access to other exclusive freebies!

Thanks so much for stopping by Today! Be sure and stop by every day through the 1st day of the new year! There's LOTS of fun ahead! Let's just say it could have something to do with FREE items! :D

Remember, scrap those memories before they fade away!

Here's some inspiration for you. Some page templates and word art used in some of the pages are from other sources. Click on each preview to find out more information or leave the artist some love!

$2 Tuesday

2011-12-20T00:00:00.000-05:00

I know tomorrow is the first day of winter (here in the States, anyway) so TODAY is the perfect day to buy my Glorious Autumn Days kit for $2 and get scrappin' on those Fall pictures before your memories fade away! The older I get, the faster those memories vanish into thin air, too! My problem now is that since DH and I live so far away from the kids and grandkids, we don't get to take many pictures anymore.....and we don't even get out that often to take pictures, so I resort to stealing pictures of the family from their Facebook posts! Ya gotta do whatcha' gotta do to get those memories in black and white.....and Glorious Autumn color, of course! :D

Here's a preview of the kit and I have a free sampler in the store for you to grab, too, while over there. That preview is below, too. And, I'll share some inspiration with you, too, to give you some ideas!

Hey, thanks so much for stopping by Today! It means alot to me! There are other deals in the store, too! And if you sign up for the newsletter while you are there, you will ALWAYS know about the goodies on $2 Tuesday and have access to other exclusive freebies!

All You Need is LUV!

2011-12-15T03:00:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm pretty much back into the swing of things.....but I am sooooooooooo behind! And I'm going missing again for a few more days, but for a much NICER reason than my latest disappearance! We are going to visit DH's parents to give them their CHRISTmas presents! I'll be taking my laptop and doing some "work" on the road (can we REALLY call this FANTASTIC hobby "WORK????" I think not....but it does give me a legitimate reason to "spend so much time on the computer!" :P

Anyway, before I start getting my files ready to travel, I wanted to remind you of the challenge I am in charge of at Digitals.....Going Postal! YUP! That's the name of it! What does it take to participate, you ask? Glad you asked! ALL YOU NEED is LUV! Every time you leave some LUV in the forums and the gallery, you get a point towards the goal of 50 for the month. Now, how totally simple is that? AND, who doesn't LOVE to have LUV left on their posts, be it photos or forum posts? Check out the games in the forum for some quick ways to tally up some points! Check out the other challenges.....DO check out the gallery! And be sure to post your pages that you've created there, too! We want to leave YOU some LUV, too!

Now, as with the other challenges in the forum, you get a prize for reaching the goal of 50 comments/posts for the month! Each month the designers put together a bunch of coordinating mini kits as prizes for all the challenges. It is so neat how they all come together so beautifully! I said all of that to tell you that this month, we made a special kit for the sweet daughter of the owner of Digitals. And any proceeds made from the sale of the mega kit (in the store soon!) will go to Rylee's choice of charity. How neat is that?! OK, if you participate in my Going Postal challenge, your prize is below. As you can see, this is a VERY girlie, girlie kit! :D

OK, click on the preview of the prize to go to the forum post to learn more about the challenge and be sure and check out all the other great challenges while you are there!

Thanks for stopping by Today! I'll see you in a few days! Who knows? I may even have a freebie or 2 to tell you about! :D I wanna see you scrappin' those memories before they fade away, too! HUGS!

PS - We had so many contributions to this CUTE, cute kit that there are some pieces that are free for the taking in the store! Click on the preview to get started collecting this mega kit today! MERRY CHRISTMAS from DIGITALS to YOU!

I'm Sick and Tired.............

2011-12-12T21:56:00.001-05:00

Hello, beautiful people! I guess you have noticed my absence, I hope? Well, I've been sick! Not over it yet! But, at least I was able to do some designing yesterday! YAY! Problem is.....it is a kit that will not be released until January 20th! YIKES! But, I wanted to give you a sneak peek at it, anyway! It is a boy's kit. I don't do many boys kits, but this one came together pretty nicely! Anyway, I've got more to work on now, so I'll close out with the Sneak Peek preview!

Thanks for stopping by! I've got LOTS to be working on for the first of the year and later this month! Remember.....scrap those memories before they fade away!

Black Friday thru Cyber Monday Sale at Digitals and a FB FREE Gift

2011-11-25T00:00:00.003-05:00

All weekend long, any product that is normally $2 or more will be 30% or more off at Digitals! Thanksgiving has ended and the Christmas season has officially OPENED for business! And, with that in mind, I've got a kit that will make a wonderful Christmas gift for everyone on your list! This is the perfect time to grab it! Just click on the preview below to find it in my shop at Digitals! Happy Christmas Shopping, everyone! Be sure and keep reading to find out about the Facebook Exclusive Free Gift I have waiting for you!

This kit includes 12 quick pages, one for each month of the year, the size of a CD cover. All you have to do is drop your pictures in and print them out. Decorate the case for a personalized gift. The picture on the preview shows how the calendar works. You actually fold the bottom of the CD case back to make a stand and the pages fit in the front of the case. As the months change, the pages can be shuffled to the back and at year's end, the case can be used as storage for the pages, or reused next year!

Knowing that some of you are more into creating your own pages, I made templates for you to use in creating your own pages by adding your own backgrounds and/or embellishments and putting the calendar wherever you want on each page. Each monthly calendar is included in transparent PNG format.

If you click on the ad below, you will be directed to my store at Digitals. Because of the time difference between me and where the site server is located, the sale may not be started yet. Please try again soon!

OK, now let me show you the Facebook Freebie I have for you. It coordinates with my newest kit, "Snowmen Melt My Heart" which is included in the storewide sale in my shop at Digitals, so you better grab it while you can! You also need to sign up for my newsletter so you can get my exclusive newsletter freebies. See this post for the current freebie.

Just click on the previews to see about these!

The Facebook Exclusive Gift

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by Today! Remember to scrap those memories before they fade away!

Thanksgiving Free Gift from Me to You!

2011-11-24T00:00:00.002-05:00

If you live in the States, I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Even if you don't live in the States, I hope you have a very happy November 24th! :D

And just in case you need a little something to cheer you up today, I have a free gift for EVERYONE who signs up on the right for my newsletter; if you aren't already signed up, that is. This list is only for those who want the exclusive gifts I offer through the newsletter. Any other news or specials can be found right here on my blog. I did have a sign up for those who wanted to receive my blog posts. If you would be interested in that, just leave me a comment and if I get enough comments, I'll put that sign up back in place for you.

OK, let me show you the exclusive gift I have that will only be available through Cyber Monday. In other words, if you don't sign up by midnight Eastern Standard Time (my time) on Monday, Nov. 28th (which is technically Tuesday) then you will miss the freebie included in a separate newsletter. But you will be able to get it in my shop at Digitals after that! Below is the preview of the original kit which you can click on to find it in my shop at Digitals!

Thanks for stopping by Today! Scrap those memories before they fade away!

New Challenge at Digitals and LO Shares

2011-11-19T09:12:00.000-05:00

Here's a couple of pages I created using my 2 newest kits, Snowmen Melt My Heart and Precious Gifts (which are 20% off this weekend only as an introductory price). Click on them to leave me love at my Digitals Gallery.

I am thrilled to be hosting the newest challenge here at Digitals, "Going Postal!" Normally, that phrase has a negative connotation, but we are going to change that with this challenge. This challenge is all about leaving love in the gallery and forum each month to help build community! Digitals has always been like family to me and it is all because of the friendly people who hang out here. Everyone likes for their posts in the gallery and forum threads to receive comments and generally, the more you give the more you receive in return! This will be a very easy challenge for you to participate in. All you have to do is post away and leave the rest to me! Here's how it will work:

1. Post your intent to participate in the challenge in this thread. Include the number of posts you are beginning the month with. (You can find that number on the right hand side of your last post, or click on your user name beside the “WELCOME, username” that shows at the top right of this thread. Then look to the right near the top for your “TOTAL POSTS.”)
2. Post at least 50 comments/photos total in the gallery and forums through the month.
3. On November 30th, edit your "participation" post from step 1 to include your final number of posts for the month.
4. I will confirm and send out the bonus shown below to those whose totals are at least 50 posts for the month.

Here's what I do.....I go to the GALLERY'S first page and post a comment on the pages that are showing there on one day. It takes about 5 minutes. Do that and in 3 days you have your 50 posts in no time flat! It's that easy!!!

That's it! If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks, in advance, for participating! Have fun!

Your prize this month is from Laitha’s Designs and coordinates with the rest of the monthly challenge prizes.

Snowmen Melt My Heart - 20% Introductory Discount

2011-11-18T01:50:00.000-05:00

This kit was totally fun to make! I love snowmen! There's a lot of whimsy for making your scrapbook pages FUN! The introductory price will go through the weekend! Click on the preview to find it in the store! I'll be putting some freebies out in the next few days! Stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by Today! Scrap those memories before they fade away!

New Kit - 20% Introductory Discount

2011-11-18T00:29:00.000-05:00

In thinking about Christmas and what it means to me being a Christian, I created this Christmas kit with a twist. The word art included focuses on the precious Gift we received more than 2000 years ago when God sent His only begotten Son to earth in the form of a baby so He could grow and live a sinless life and then die in our place on the cross of Calvary. That is the most precious Gift I can think of! My gift to you is the introductory price of 20% off for 3 days!

Even though this is the first time it is in my store here at Digitals, this is a reworked kit. I got rid of alot of stuff that just didn't fit, reworked most of the elements that were left and came up with what you see. Enjoy scrapping some Christmas pictures with traditional red and green and the added royal purple color which is fit for the King of kings!

The kit includes nine 12x12 papers @ 300 ppi in JPG format and 23 unique elements @ 300 ppi in PNG format. Included in the kit:

9 papers
3 borders
1 button w/string
2 flourish elements
2 flowers
3 frames
1 gift box
1 leaves
1 straight pins element (with slight shadowing)
2 ribbons (1 grosgrain, 1 curly)
1 staples (with slight shadowing)
2 tags
4 word art

And a special THANKS to the families who have family members who paid the ultimate sacrifice in giving their lives so I can enjoy freedom at their sacrifice. Words could never express my gratitude for their sacrifice. I hope I will be able to say THANKS to them some day in heaven.

I have to admit that I did not know how or when Veterans Day celebrations began. From Wikipedia, I found the following information about Veterans Day:

"Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It is coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."

The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting that the President Calvin Coolidge issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'."
In 1953, an Emporia, Kansas man named Alvin King the owner of a shoe repair shop, had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. King had been actively involved with the American War Dads during World War II. He began a campaign to turn Armistice Day into "All" Veterans Day. The Emporia Chamber of Commerce took up the cause after determining that 90% of Emporia merchants as well as the Board of Education supported closing their doors on November 11 to honor all veterans. With the help of U.S. Representative Ed Rees, also from Emporia, a bill for the holiday was pushed through Congress. President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26, 1954.
Congress amended this act on June 1, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since.
Although originally scheduled for celebration on November 11 of every year, starting in 1971 in accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. In 1978, it was moved back to its original celebration on November 11.

Because it is a federal holiday, many American people have the day off from school or work for Veterans Day. A Society for Human Resource Management poll in 2010 found that 21 percent of employers planned to observe the holiday in 2011.
Employers in Iowa are required by state law to provide a day off on Veterans Day to each employee who is a veteran if the employee would otherwise be required to work on that day, unless the employer would experience significant economic or operational disruption.
Non-essential federal government offices are closed. No mail is delivered. All federal workers are paid for the holiday; those who are required to work on the holiday sometimes receive wages for that day in addition to holiday pay. The holiday is often celebrated by having a ravioli meal. This tradition dates back to the ending days of World War I when President Woodrow Wilson, aware that the returning soldiers would be longing for home cooked meals, invited 2,000 soldiers to the White House and helped his staff chefs cook them ravioli, which had just become a mainstay in mainstream American kitchens due to commercial canning. In his Armistice Day address to Congress, Wilson was sensitive to the psychological toll of the lean War years: "Hunger," he remarked, "breeds madness."

I hope you enjoyed learning about this celebration as I did. I decided to run a sale to coincide with the 11-11-11 date by having an 11% off sale in my store in honor of Veterans Day. It will extend through the weekend. Click on the ad to go to my shop at Digitals.

I hope you have a blessed weekend! Thanks for stopping by Today! Scrap those memories before they fade away!

Going Postal - New Challenge at Digitals

2011-11-01T02:43:00.000-04:00

I am thrilled to be hosting the newest challenge here at Digitals, "Going Postal!" Normally, that phrase has a negative connotation, but we are going to change that with this challenge. This challenge is all about leaving love in the gallery and forum each month to help build community! Digitals has always been like family to me and it is all because of the friendly people who hang out here. Everyone likes for their posts in the gallery and forum threads to receive comments and generally, the more you give the more you receive in return! This will be a very easy challenge for you to participate in. All you have to do is post away and leave the rest to me! Here's how it will work:

1. Post your intent to participate in the challenge in this thread. Include the number of posts you are beginning the month with. (You can find that number on the right hand side of your last post, or click on your user name beside the “WELCOME, username” that shows at the top right of this thread. Then look to the right near the top for your “TOTAL POSTS.”)
2. Post at least 50 comments/photos total in the gallery and forums through the month.
3. On November 30th, edit your "participation" post from step 1 to include your final number of posts for the month.
4. I will confirm and send out the bonus shown below to those whose totals are at least 50 posts for the month.

That's it! If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks, in advance, for participating! Have fun!

Your prize this month is from Laitha’s Designs and coordinates with the rest of the monthly challenge prizes.

Last Day for Introductory 20% off - Thankful Hearts

2011-10-23T00:00:00.001-04:00

I hope you are having a beautiful weekend! In my part of the world it is the Fall season! I love the beautiful orange, yellow and red colors that paint the scenery! It is such a beautiful time of the year! I'm in the mountains of WV this weekend!

This week I've been reworking a fall kit and also created an addon for it. Thankful Hearts is a kit that can be used to scrap pictures from early Fall to late Fall, right on into Thanksgiving. The original kit had blue and pink papers and elements in it. I decided they did NOT belong with this kit! So, out they went! Then I added some tanish-colored papers, split the papers and elements into more managable sized kits. I have to say it looks MUCH better and more inviting! I hope you think so! But, I couldn't leave these beautiful colors alone, so I created an addon.....mainly so I could use some flowers I photographed about a week or so ago. Now you can pick between them for a little.....or you have the option of getting everything for a great deal in a bundle package.

I held off on having an introductory sale price on them purposely til the weekend because I know that is when lots of you get to do your online shopping and playing! So, for 2 days only, (yesterday and today), I am selling the kits at an introductory price of 20% off. Click on the previews to get your pick from my shop at Digitals.

And, after I completed the addon, I decided to use the elements to make a cluster. This cluster goes almost all the way across a 12" page. All you will have to do is add it to your favorite paper with a photo and some journaling and you are finished!

To get this cluster (and other NEWSLETTER EXCLUSIVES I will be offering from time to time), SIGN UP in the right hand column TO RECEIVE MY NEWSLETTER. After signing up with your e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail to confirm your e-mail address is correct and that you really want the newsletter. I will check daily to find out who signed up and send the special newsletter with the download link to the cluster. You can see the cluster at the bottom of this post.

Thanks for stopping by Today! I'm looking forward to sending you the cluster after you sign up for my newsletter so you can scrap those memories before they fade away!

And here is the exclusive freebie for those who sign up for my newsletter.
