Stuff to Scrap Charity Kit-Brady and a Speed Scrap

http://covenantbuilders.blogspot.com/2010/10/brady-and-heath.html
This blog has a post about Brady. She met Brady while adopting their son Aaron. It brought me to tears!!

This kit is not just any ordinary kit; it is for an amazing cause and an amazing little guy that needs a family, a home, and someone to love and care for him. The Hartman family, are in the process of adopting the sweet boy below. They feel called to rescue this little boy "Brady" from a mental institution in Eastern Europe. Because he has Downs Syndrome, Brady was abandoned at birth, just like the majority of children with any sort of disabilities in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. lt is standard procedure when these children turn between 4-6 years old (depending on region) that they are transferred from Orphanages to full blown Mental Institutions. This transfer is very traumatic, and many times these children suffer and sometimes die due to the conditions. Brady has already been transferred and The Hartmans are trying to get to him as quickly as possible. So I told this sweet family that I would ask the girls at "Stuff to Scrap" to Help!! The cost of this adoption is well between $20,000- $30,000 and so we just want to be able to contribute a little toward that huge amount. The amazing designers at "Stuff to Scrap" have put together an awesome collaboration that can be used to donate to this great cause. All proceeds from the sell of *Brady* goes directly to the Hartman's adoption fund.

Please consider helping in this amazing endeavor to BRING BRADY HOME!!

There's a speed scrap at Stuff to Scrap this evening.  Check out the flyer.

Choo Choo

This month I worked with a kit called Choo Choo by Flower Scraps.  I picked this kit because my kids are so into trains right now!  All we do is read books about trains.  We're having a train themed birthday party and they're getting train sets for their birthday so I figured this kit would be perfect to have.  It has such cute train cars and other train elements like stitches that look like train tracks (so cute!), railroad crossing signs, etc.  Here's a look at Choo Choo.

Here are my layouts.

Speed Scrap and Challenge Point Changes

There's a speed scrap today at Stuff to Scrap in just a couple hours.  Hope you can join us!   Here's more info and the participation prize.

There will be some changes in the challenges at Stuff to Scrap starting in February.  Here's some more information.

A Sale!

My store at Brownie Scraps will be closing at the end of the month and low and behold January is almost over!  Time sure flew this month!  My entire store is 30% off through the end of January.  Head on over to my store to pick up some goodies while they're on sale.

February Brownie Addicts Club

The February Brownie Addicts club will be hosted by Marni Designs and Jacabean Designs.  It's now in the store and you can get it for just $7 until the end of January.  When February starts you can still join the club put then it will cost you $10.  Take a look at what you will get.

The club is so much fun!  Image is linked to the store.  When you purchase the addicts club, you can immediate access to the kit Hello Love.  Here's a look at it and a layout I made.

Retiring Bundle

Marni Designs is back and getting ready to release new kits in her store.  She's making room for the new kits by retiring some of her older kits.  You can get 9 kits a nd 3 template packs all for the low price of $10!  How fabulous is that deal?  To make it even better Marni Designs has a kit included with the download links that is only being released with the retiring bundle.  It will never be released again!  Here's a look at the kits that are retiring-image is linked to the store.

I had the opportunity to work with several of these kits just recently and I worked with a couple of them a while ago.  Gardening Memories is one of the kits that is retiring.  It's a perfect kit to scrap pictures of your garden, you gardening or your child gardening.  Here's a look at the kit and my layout.

Another great kit in there is Blue Jean Baby.  It's so cute for a little boy!  There is also a template pack called Templates 3: Circles.  Here's a look at the kit and my layout.

Here's Bohemian Rhapsody.  My layout uses Paper Stripes Templates that is included in the retiring bundle.

Remember I told you that you get a bonus kit if you purchase this retiring bundle?  Marni Designs designed a brand new never before released kit just to give to you with this bundle.  Here's a peek at it-it's called Retro Fall.

Previously I worked with Zoo, Retro and Gingham Love.  Here are the kit previews and my layouts.

Phew, that was a lot of layouts!  I hope you stuck around.  Can't you see that this is one fabulous deal that you should NOT miss out on????  So many wonderful kits will be gone very very soon!  Head over and pick up this Retiring Bundle.

Someone's In The Kitchen

I have a new kit out today called Somone's In The Kitchen.  It's a kit made for pictures of my kids and my niece cooking in the kitchen.  All 3 of the kids love to help cook and bake even if it's a little messy.  If you have a child who loves the kitchen, this kit should be perfect for you as it has both boy colors and girl colors.  You could also use this kit to scrap pictures of your kids eating-however messy they get!  Here's a look at the kit.

You can find this kit in my store at Stuff to Scrap or my Brownie Scraps store.  The kit includes the cardstocks at my Brownie Scraps store.  It'll be 25% off today only at Brownie Scraps!  Take a look at what my CT did with this kit.  Some of them used templates from my new template pack called "Templates: Split Apart."

 I went just a little overboard with this kit!  I had a lot of cooking pictures that needed to be scrapped and I'm still not done!

I have a set of coordinating cardstocks and a set of QPs that use this kit.  Here's a look at them.  Images are linked to my store at Stuff to Scrap.

I also have a set of blank recipe cards for sale.  If you purchase my kit from my store at Brownie Scraps, the recipe cards are included in the downloads.  If you purchase my kit at my store at Stuff to Scrap, you can use the coupon code: B2N2S_SITKrecipecards to get them free.  Coupon expires 1/31/11.

My CT and I have recipe freebies for you.  I asked them to give away recipes that are good for kids-whether it be recipes that kids love to eat or recipes that kids can help make.  Here are their cards.  Images are linked to their blogs except for Debbie's (the second one).  That one is included with my download.

Blue Valentine and a Speed Scrap

The Scrappy Kat and Mommy Me Time Scrapper have a new collab out called Blue Valentine.  This kit is a Valentine's Day kit but has moved away from the traditional colors.  They are beautiful kits that will work for so many other types of photos too.  Here's a look at their kits.

Here's my layout.  I made it for the template challenge at Stuff to Scrap this month.  The template is by HD Creations.

I made a brag book page freebie for you.  You  can download HERE.

This Little Missy is hosting a Speed Scrap on Tuesday at 2pm MST in the Stuff to Scrap forum & chat.

Plus, snag this BONUS template from her newest Template Pack "Think BIG" FREE when you come play along.

See you there!
