All of the proceeds from the sale of the kit will go directly to the family for whatever needs the see fit to fulfill. A Tribute to Tyler is a very cute and adorable little boy kit, but it is really versatile with the amount of elements provided. I used the kit to scrap a page of my children. This is one very special kit for a very special family who truly need your love and generosity this holiday season. Be sure to swing by Scrapable or Funky Playground to purchase this amazing kit!

Here is my layout I made using Tribute to Tyler.

It's still available. . .

Hey everyone! I am truly sorry about my really short entry the other day. I have been extremely busy trying to prepare for Thanksgiving and failed to post all of the previews for the kit.

A Tribute to Tyler is still available at Scrapable and Funky Playground. It is truly an amazing kit and such a steal at only $10. There are over 100 papers and 100 elements. All of the proceeds go to Tyler's family to help them in their time of need. Tyler's Dad was let go from his employer while he was away taking care of his very ill son. Their story truly touched me to my core. It is devastating what they are having to endure this holiday season. You can read their story on their CaringBridge site.

Below you will find a preview of the full kit, the ad made from the contents of the kit, and a bonus alpha created by me. Remember all proceeds from the sale of the kit go to Tyler's family, who I am sure will greatly appreciate the help.

Charity Collab

Hey everyone! I am so sorry it has been forever and a day since I have posted. Things around here have been extremely hectic with baby #3 on the way. Anyway, I wanted to share some news that is going around the digi-scrap community.

A little over a month ago I stumbled across a family who was facing devastating circumstances via a friends Facebook update. I personally do not know this family, but there story touched me so much, especially considering I am a parent myself. This family has three boys, one of which was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 4 months. He went into remission and then relapsed when he was 2. Sadly they lost their sweet boy not to long ago. The Father lost his job while being away to care for his son. So not only have they lost one of their children, they also have no income.

Since there story had touched me so, I asked a dear friend of mine if she would head up a charity collab kit for this family. My dear friend gladly accepted the challenge and has been working very hard to attract as many designers as she can to help with this very special kit. All the proceeds of this kit, minus fees, will be going to the family for whatever expenses or needs they have that still need to be met. A Tribute to Tyler will be hitting the digi-scrap stores hopefully this weekend.

I am asking for everyone's help in passing the word on this very special kit. It really is going to helps some wonderful people who are faced with the tragedy of losing a child. All help is greatly appreciated. If you would like to read more about their story, please feel free to visit their CaringBridge site.

Roller Coaster Ride

Today has been full of emotions. Sometimes I find it hard to put my feelings into words, but this time I am really going to try.

My younger sister has been fighting renal failure for several years. While I have no idea how hard and difficult this is for her, I can imagine. Knowing that you are fighting for your life can only be energy consuming. After several years of waiting and doing the necessary steps in order to prepare herself for the transplant, she has gotten "the call" twice. Both times something has happened that prevented her from getting her kidney. These blows keep tearing her down. Today, in the wee hours of the morning my husband woke me telling me that my sister was on her way to the hospital for her transplant. I wept. Not from sadness, but from relief, joy, and overwhelming feeling of gratitude towards God for giving her this precious gift. Just a few moments ago I received a phone call from my sister's friend informing me that the transplant has been postponed, yet again. The reasons are valid. The Dr. performing the transplant has concerns about some of her medical history and wants answers. Answers that, a previous hospital, should have provided before now. She now has some more testing that she needs to undergo. Testing that will hopefully reveal why her kidney's failed in the first place, as well as why her heart became so weak so quickly after her seizure.

I completely understand the reasons. That does not mean I am not heartbroken and devastated for her. She has been fighting for so long. I know that her transplant will happen when it is meant to happen. It is hard to not feel a sense of sorrow though. She has fought so hard and so long that one would think she wouldn't have to endure this any longer. Yet she continues to fight for her life and take the necessary steps to insure her future with everyone here who loves her. She is a fighter. I pray that God gives her the strength to get through this. I know this can't be easy for her. I know how hard it is on me. I can only imagine that it is 1000 times worse for her.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to her in her time of need. I love you sis!

Until next time. . .
