{Helping Hand} charity collab

You can become quite involved in the digital scrapbook community but you become even more so involved when you are on Creative Teams. Many of the CTMs become friends and try to support one another. With that, many of the best designers have come together to support Mary (marnel). She was a former HoneyBee and she just lost her daughter, Charlie, to a tragic accident. This beautiful collab features designers from many stores & is available for purchase at Scrap Orchard, MScraps, & Sweet Shoppe Designs. All of the proceeds (minus paypal fees) will go directly to the Charlie Gonzalez Memorial Fund which will help her family pay the hospital & funeral costs.
If you click on the ScrapOrchard link, it'll take you directly to the kit in the store. From there, you can read Mary's blog post about the tragic incident. You can also just donate directly to the Memorial Fund. The details are also there.

jady day studio

i'm a few days late but i'm back to show off my new CT! Jady Day Studio had a CT call a few weeks ago and i HAD to apply. i promised myself that i wouldn't join anymore teams but i made an exception for her. her products were my very first purchases. i still have them even (Autumn in Hooville & Jolly Jingle Days)! her last CT call was in december/january and i was dying to know what this was all about. i explored around the stores/forums/galleries and it was all downhill from there! anyways, she retired but has now started back up again and is selling at Scrap Matters! i was one of the very lucky ones to get chosen. so, now that i've rambled, here's her new releases...

Harvest Happiness is my new favorite kit! i looooove the bold colors and all the flowers! Yari did an amazing job with this kit. here's a few of my layouts.

Honey Bee CT Call!!

The Queen Bees are looking for 3 girls (2 Honey Bees & 1 Hybrid Bee) to add to the team! They haven't held a call for 2 years so hurry & apply! They also keep all the applications so if you don't join this time, you might be asked to join later. Being a Honey Bee has been so fun for me. I love "meeting" new people, learning new things & laughing everytime I make my way through the Orchard. The designers we "work" for are some of the best out there & I'm honored to make pages for them. So...hurry & apply! I can't wait to see who joins us :)

8/27-Fresh Fruit!

I know it's late, but yeah...oh well ;) Here's what I scrapped this past week with this weeks' Fresh Fruit at Scrap Orchard!

First up is SuzyQ Scraps. She's released calendars! You can purchase the templates for them or she's even made some that you can purchase & print. Either way you want it. I scrapped with the "2011 Calendar Topper Templates".

The "September Fruit Basket" has arrived! It's filled with mini kits, add-on kits, an alpha & templates. Right now, it's only $3 so hurry up and grab it today. I scrapped with Amy Stoffel's contribution-Retro Stuff.

DeCrow Designs is celebrating her birthday with a grab bag! It's color palette is one of a kind & neutral enough to go with plenty of pictures.

Amy Stoffel is a girl's best friend at the moment with her new release.

It's been a long time coming but Ziggle Designs by Kami (one of the Queen Bees) has released a fall bundle! You can buy the bundle or everything separately.
