McKenna's Charity Kit Is Ready To Go

Sweet little McKenna needs all of your help!  Come to our charity chat on Sunday night at 10pm EST for the launch of McKenna's kit "A Mother's Love."  

A Mother’s Love was created by the thoughtful and generous designers of Scrap Outside the Box to help the family of McKenna Elise Conrad. McKenna was born January 12, 2008 with a cleft lip and cleft palate, which occurs in one in every 500 births. Now one-year-old, McKenna has already undergone numerous procedures to repair her cleft lip, resulting in $5,000 in medical bills. She is scheduled to undergo palate surgery on March 6 and that amount will more than double. Sadly this is all after health insurance has been paid. Her family is in dire need of financial assistance and you can help.  McKenna is very near and dear to our hearts, because she is the niece of Scrap Outside the Box owner, Dani Fenning. It seems only natural that we reach out to her family in the best way that we can, by creating a sharing a fabulous charity kit and donating the proceeds to this needy family. A Mother’s Love is the perfect title for this warm, colorful collaboration full of flowers, butterflies and rainbows. What better way to show that you care while getting a beautiful kit in return.  All proceeds from the sales of A Mother’s Love will go directly towards the family's medical expenses. Your help and support are greatly appreciated.  To read more please go here:

Just A Warning

I've recently heard about some nasty viruses being sent through 4shared and, of course, that's where my freebies are hosted.  Because of this, from this point on, my freebies will be hosted on mediafire or box.net.  So far, it seems that those sites are safe.  I don't want anyone's computer to come to harm, I've been through it.  Not fun at all!  Download previous freebies at your own risk.  Any from this point on will not be on 4shared!

Hope For McKenna

McKenna was born on January 12, 2008 a happy, healthy baby. Now one year old, you might not notice the small scar on her upper lip, but when she gives you one of her ear to ear grins, you'll discover the huge hole in the roof of her mouth. You see, McKenna was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate.

McKenna has already undergone a number of procedures, including wearing an uncomfortable contraption called a latham appliance in order to bring her upper palate close enough to sew together her lip.

But her trials do not end there. McKenna still has several surgeries to go through to repair the gap in the roof of her mouth and dental reconstruction and then years of speech therapy to help her speak normally.

McKenna's parents, already struggling with lost jobs, expensive health care and the burden of childcare, are facing mounting medical bills with no end in sight.

In her short life, McKenna has already experienced more discomfort and pain than most of us will in a lifetime, but that doesn't stop her from being the most smiley baby you'll ever meet.

So if you would like to help McKenna and her family, please purchase our "Hope for McKenna" charity kit. All proceeds will go directly to the family to help with medical bills. If you are not a digital scrapbooker, but would still like to help, you can click the donate button on
McKenna's website.

My New Store!

Ok, I had a quick mention of my store yesterday, but didn't have time to go in depth because I was at my sister-in-law's for the weekend!  A wonderful kid-free weekend!!!  But, now it's back to work and I have to tell you all about what's happening.  My store officially opened yesterday, it was very exciting!  Right now, I only have a few things for sale because I'm just starting.  More will be added pretty often, I'm working my little designer butt off, lol!  Here are some previews of the kits for sale right now:

This first one is called Inspire Me, you can find it by clicking here!
These two beautiful layouts were created with my Inspire Me kit by Vero The Sahm and you can find her blog by clicking here!

The other kit in the store right now is called Tranquil Evening.  You can find it by clicking here!


I put this layout together with this kit and a picture of my youngest.  Of course, this layout doesn't even scratch the surface of what is available in this kit, but it gives you an idea!  

I made a Quick Page for you out of my layout for your freebie today!  Enjoy and go check out my new store!!

Designer Challenge

This is the first week of a new challenge I am starting where I can win an awesome Wacom Tablet package deal!!!  I have wanted one for ages, so I'm hoping I can win one!  We had to make our own doodles for this round.  I made my doodles into glitter puzzles, the castle, the frog prince, and the wand.  Each round we receive points for the kits we make and then our points are added up at the end.  Lucky for you, you get the chance to receive each kit free before it goes into the store.  So, here is the first round.  Grab it before next Friday on my blog, and after that in my store!  Wish me luck!
