Fix Me Up Doc

Early this month my girls both had a stomach bug for about 3 days. We spent a lot of time visiting doctors offices during the month! Since I spent so much of the day sitting in waiting rooms, I had lots of time to be inspired to come up with a doctor themed kit.

I have created a kit called Fix Me Up Doc which I think is just right for scrapping all of the photos of bumps and bruises that I have taken as well as for creating some fun get well cards. Fix Me Up Doc includes 14 papers, full alpha, and 68 unique and original elements with a doctor/nurse/injury/sickness related theme.

Fix Me Up Doc is available at 20% off through the weekend HERE at my guest store at Pickle Berry Pop. (**Edited: Fix Me Up Doc is now available exclusively HERE at After Five Designs.) Please enjoy an additional 15% off my guest store with this coupon code: DISCOUNT15

My CT and the CT at PBP have been busy scrapping away with Fix Me Up Doc. (Layout artists: AmandaC, JulisMama, LorieM, MummyD, Mumure, NZMumof4, Olka, Paula, RealRach, Rena, Sundri and Yogovonne.)

I LOVE the look of punch labels. In real life, and in digi. I have created a sampler pack with 28 doctor & sick themed punch labels that coordinate with the Fix Me Up Doc kit. Please enjoy them as my free gift to you!

Hands Across the Gulf

Recently I was invited to participate in a charity collaboration to support clean up efforts after the oil spill in the Gulf. I feel so honored to donate a small portion to this beautiful collaboration. This beautiful kit ended up being so large that not all of the elements, papers, templates and photo actions are included in the preview. You can see more detailed images of the included items HERE in the store.

For more than 90 days, oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico before the leak was finally "capped" in late July. It is estimated that approximately 4.9 million barrels (or 205.8 million gallons) of oil spilled into the waters. It has been one of the biggest environmental disasters in decades. Hundreds of miles of beaches, wetlands, and estuaries along the northern Gulf Coast have been impacted. The spill, though temporarily "capped", continues to cause extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats as well as the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries. Families are without work and marine and land animals continue to suffer. And there are still many unknowns about the long term effects of the oil and of chemical disbursements used in attempts to curtail the flow and impact upon the regional coastline and waters.

Forty-five designers across the digital scrapbooking community have united with one shared cause: to raise awareness and to support recovery efforts for the environment and those impacted by this tragic disaster.

Participating designers include: Aja Abney, Amy Martin, Biograffiti, Boutique Cute Dolls, Createwings Designs, Deena Rutter, Designs by Cindy Schneider, Designs by Crystal Livesay, Dido Designs, Dunia Designs, Emily Merritt Designs, Fiddle Dee Dee Designs, Fizzy Pop Designs, FruitLoOp Sally Designs, Laurie Ann (Heaven's Gate Designs), Holliewood Studios, Holly Designs, Holly Spring Designs, Jazzmin Designs, Jennifer Barrette Designs, Jacque Larsen, Juliana Kneipp Designs, Kay Miller Designs, Kaye Winiecki, Kitty Designs, Kristin Aagard Designs, Lauren Grier, Leora Sanford, Loreta Labarca, Micheline Martin, Nikki Beaudreau, Paislee Press, One Little Bird Designs, Sabrina Dupre, Sahlin Studio, Sarah Cornish of My 4 Hens Photography, Shabby Miss Jenn, Studio Basic Designs, Sugarplum Paperie, Tickled Pink Studios, Tiny Toes Designs, Tracie Stroud, Vera Lim, Vinnie Pearce, and zinnias and swallowtails.

Hands Across the Gulf is our heartsong for this cause. This gorgeous kit representing the varied styles of the scrapping community, is positively overflowing with beautiful papers, unique elements, templates and Photoshop actions. All told, designers have contributed more than 100 papers and 200 elements, 2 full alphas, 18 templates, and 4 PS actions to Hands Across the Gulf.
Available for sale for one month only, 100% of the proceeds from this kit will be donated to the National Wildlife Federation and to the United Way's Gulf Recovery Fund.
