Today I want to share with you about Baby Ella! I first heard about her from a fellow SBG Designer, Wendy who is organizing a super special Life is Precious grab bag to help. Many of SBG Designers – including me – are contributing something into this super special grab bag: there are mini kits, quickpages, clusters, bits and pieces and coupons! My contribution consists of a little something that is new and not available yet in the store, plus two coupons! This is such a good deal for a worthy cause!
Here’s the details from Wendy:
Ella Hollingsworth is a very special girl, with a very special family. You can read about her family, their journey and their needs on the Hollingsworth blog. A few of my designer friends were touched by Ella’s story and wanted to help, so we got together and created a small grab bag of products and coupons. It’s not much, but it’s free to anyone who donates ANY AMOUNT directly to Ella’s fund at tendoves.org. Your contribution will be tax-deductible since you are donating directly.
Just send me (wendy at scrapbookgraphics { dot } com) a copy of your receipt (minus any private information) by FEBRUARY 28th, 2011, and I will send you a direct download link to the Life is Precious grab bag on MARCH 1st. The grab bag is still receiving contributions, but will include AT LEAST 5 minikits, 1 paper collection, 7 QPs, 1 mini album, templates & coupons to a variety of designers.
Thank you for supporting Baby Ella and her family!
Go ahead and do something good today :)

Yay! See what Maya of SBG has organized…
The season of giving, gratitude and joy upon us. It is also often a very busy and hectic time of the year, creating a challenge for those of us with lengthy To-Do lists. However, no matter how busy we all get, it really is important to remember that when it comes to charity, Every Little Bit Counts.
To demonstrate this simple truth, a call went out across the digital community to designers everywhere inviting them each to contribute only one element to a charity collaboration for the Sick Kids Foundation.
The end result is an eclectic collection of unique elements, ranging from classic to quirky and everything in between.
For only $5 you will receive…
…87 unique digital elements. You will also receive your own digital print drawer converted to a 12 x 12 size, with back removed as a separate layer for easy element placement. Plus, as an added bonus you will also receive a really fun Photoshop action that will automatically insert your choice of elements into the print tray drawer. That’s more than your money’s worth, plus, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that the money you used to purchase the collection will go directly towards helping Sick Children.
The Every Little Bit Counts collection will only be available until the last week of December. 100% of the profits will then be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital Foundation.
Find out how you can receive this very special collection for only $5 and let your little bit count towards this very worthy cause. Thank you very much in advance!

We all have heard about the devastating catastrophe befallen Haiti again and again. In the face of this gigantic suffering we feel so small and helpless. But, we do realize that every little help matters. Action is better than inaction. Each of us could help according to our own capacity and means, however small it is. Within our own digi-community, Songbird Avenue, a well known – and the one and only – digital scrapbooking charity shop, is organizing a mega collaboration kit to raise some fund to help the Haitians. There are 56 participating designers – and the result is just amazing… The kit is called ‘Port Au Prince’ in honor of the people – and it will be available on February 1st 2010. Watch out for it!
Meanwhile… here is a little sneak peek: my small contribution for the kit! There are a LOT more gorgeous stuff in the kit, so be sure to visit Songbird Avenue on February 1st! Thank you!
