Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2010
August 20, 2010 by Cijaye
Filed under Digital Scrapbooking Products, Other Scrapbooking Ideas You Might Like, Scrapbooking Products
This post is a little different from any others I have done before and I hope you don’t mind taking the time out to read it. It’s about Breast Cancer. This is something that many of us are effected by (whether it be directly or through a friend or family member) and Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) is coming up soon. So I wanted to share my story.
In 2008 I discovered that a very close family friend (whom I considered an Aunt growing up) had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She immediately took action, by removing her breasts. I was devastated for her at the time (as I could never imagine doing the same), but had she not done this, I am not sure she’d be here today. Then another friend went through the exact same thing that same year (knowing that she had the gene, but not yet the cancer), she too decided to remove her breasts. I still fill up with tears thinking about the incredible bravery it took both of them to do this (even if it wasn’t the only answer).
When I heard they did it, it REALLY hit home for me.
It made this once foreign concept of breast cancer VERY REAL in my life and something that I should acknowledge. Despite any sadness or tears…this is one illness that also joins forces with emotions of unprecedented pride! This illness has proven that women are strong and very resilient beings. Maybe more so than ever being given credit for!
To all of the women out there who are fighting Breast Cancer – I salute you! To all of those who have taken affirmative action like my loved ones did….I commend you for your incredible bravery! I tear up every time I think of you all.
If I could, I would send every woman with breast cancer (or the risk of) a token of my heartfelt emotions and ensure that this token would serve as a reminder that Women Are Fighters! We are all stronger than we think and as long as we put our minds to it, we can survive anything!
That’s why I am letting you know in advance that I will be releasing two completely free breast cancer awareness digital image kits (for scrapbooking or whatever else you wish to use it for) that you can download and send to friends in October!
You can come back to visit this page and download our Digital Breast Cancer Awareness Scrapbooking Kits from October 1st onwards.
For those of you who don’t work with Digital Images in any way, I would most definitely choose one of the personalized ornaments found here!
*Now I can’t possibly send these to everyone myself, but they are incredibly well priced and I think everyone should have one! These ornaments can hang on a bed post (seen every day) or come out on Christmas only. It doesn’t matter. The point is, a reminder of this strength is just one more way for the world to AFFIRM that Breast Cancer can be beat! Thank you again for taking the time to read this email. I appreciate it very much.
Sincerely, Cijaye DePradine
5 Secrets to Relieving The Stress of Personalized Christmas Giving!

5 Secrets to Relieving The Stress of Personalized Christmas Giving!
If you are anything like me, you will hit the panic button sometime around mid December when you realize that you have WAY more Christmas Shopping to do and not enough time to squeeze in the mall hopping it takes to do it.
But what would happen to that panic if you got smarter this year? What if you started NOW? Wouldn’t it be a breath of fresh air to know that by December 15th, everything was done? All cards were out, every gift was taken care of?
That’s my plan. And I thought I would share it with you!
————————————————————————————–
Here’s my top 5 list for ensuring that you get on top of everything and save time and money doing it this Christmas:
————————————————————————————–
1) Start NOW to collect all of the home / business addresses you will need to send Christmas Greetings and Gifts to this year. (Easiest methods to collect are via email, SMS, facebook wall posts / direct messages, and requests via twitter. ALSO if you have a business site/blog – you could create specialized contact form with all of the address data fields necessary – and start promoting it). But don’t forget the old reliable telephone either, it’s amazing how effective the good ringer is sometimes.
2) Convert your contact info to a spreadsheet and add a column titled: Gift Level. Then in this Gift Level column you can add terms like: Card, Card + Gift, Multi-Gift Pack etc. This way you can filter by Gift Level and act accordingly.
3) Visit a digital design company online such as DesignerDigitals.com to select your favorite holiday images or text graphics (ranging in price from $0.25/image to $6.99/image pack). AND/OR Select your favorite family photo (to use on your annual Christmas Card).
4) *If customizing the graphics start to finish, you can use a computer graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop (regular or CS4), Corel Draw or even Windows Paint to compile your graphics together in a standard size (such as 4.5 x 5 inches). OR you can simply upload the images to your favorite card maker program (if flexible enough) and design on demand.
5) Sign up for a print on demand “personalized greeting card” company (like: https://www.sendoutcards.com/storefront/cijaye/) where you can upload all of your contacts, personalize each and every card, select gifts or choose complete gift packs and hit send to have them post mailed to your recipients without ever touching the cards or the gifts yourself – all while saving yourself a trip to the post office!
And that’s it! Your Christmas Cards and gifts can be sent to all your family, friends, colleagues and loved ones in 5 simple but highly effective steps!

Yes…Damask Scrapbook Papers are the new HOT ITEM in scrapbooking.
They are a tad hard to find as not everyone is calling them damask scrapbook papers…some people don’t even know what to call this sort of pattern. They just know it’s beautifull.
But here’s the thing…Damask Scrapbook Papers lend themselves beautifully to your scrapbook pages as backgrounds, borders, frames and mats.
You can even take the scrapbooking skills you have and turn your damask scrapbook papers into wedding invitations or elegant party favors at your next shower.
Keep in mind as well that your damask paper products don’t need to stay BLACK AND WHITE – they can be black on ANY color and they can also be ANY COLOR on BLACK…Or…even Light Colors on other Solids. If you want to get even MORE creative with your damask scrapbook papers you can even touch up some of the intricate spaces (within your damask designs) with color – creating the mosiac or stained glass sort of effect.
Whatever you do with your damask scrapbook supplies I am sure it will be beautiful.

Bamboo Fun is Super Fun!

Wacom pen tablets make digital scrapbooking easy and fun!
Imagine sharing your new scrapbook of your grandson’s first steps not only to people who visit your home, but to friends and family around the world. That is the promise of the digital revolution starting with photography and now digital scrapbooking.
Your computer gives you a wealth of possibilities to expand your scrapbooking activities including how you make scrapbook pages and how you share them with others. From retouching and manipulating your photographs and items scanned into your PC, to creating textures and decorative items, Wacom’s pen tablet including Bamboo Fun small and medium sizes offer the perfect tool to make creating your scrapbooks easy and fun.
How does using a pen tablet make digital scrapbooking possible?
The pen tablet takes your mouse to a whole new level of control and speed. Now you can edit your photographs with the speed of a pro photographer. Using a pen to control your PC allows you to write and draw much more easily than with a mouse. Plus, you get the added benefit of natural arm position, reducing the chance repetitive stress injuries. Here are just a few of the things that using a pen tablet makes possible:
Need to take out red eye?
Just color it over with a paint brush in a photo editing software package such as Adobe Photoshop Elements. Because you handle the pen as you would any other pen or brush, editing out red eye, skin blemishes, etc. is as easy as coloring with a crayon.
Want to add a speech bubble or a handwritten message?
Just draw it onto the photo inside your photo editing software. Using a mouse to do it would be like writing “with a bar of soap” as one long-time Wacom user puts it. Natural looking handwriting on a PC can only be achieved with a pen tablet of the quality and technical sophistication that Wacom offers.
Create textures and other decorations!
A pen tablet gives new meaning to the term “handmade”. Instead of buying pre-designed paper textures and cutting and pasting, you can make your own! Share them with other digital scrapbookers in your community, or post them on worldwide internet forums for digital scrapbooking. Creativity is to be shared!
