CADAVEROUS CHARM | NEW BUNDLE & PAGE DRAFTS

Wow what a great DSD weekend! We have raised $744 USD so far for the Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser, which is fantastic. There is still time as we have until October 31st before I do a final tally on all the sales of the GENTLY GOES BUNDLE. Thank you so very much to everyone that donated this past weekend, the conversations and pages created were so heart felt and wow what a community of scrappers we have at Sweet Shoppe Designs, you are all such beautiful women many of which have been touched by BC and other cancers!

This week I'm re-releasing an old collection called CADAVEROUS CHARM. This one has had a dust off and a complete over haul and is filled to the brim with so many new goodies. Check it out in the store and I promise you you’ll be scrapping all those spooky costumes and neighbourhood Halloween decorations with flair and much charm! I also designed a coordinating set of page drafts so you will be well on your way in capturing all your Halloween festivities with these nifty goodies!

Last but not least I have a freebie, you can grab this gift from either my newsletter or The Nifty Pixel Fans and Friends Page on Facebook you’ll find an invite for the group is below.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone and again thank you so much for your donations so far!

Stay Safe and happy scrapping!

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY BREAST CANCER FUNDRAISER

So we did it! What an awesome effort from our Lilypad community and family. Everyone that subbed a page  helped raise much needed finds for breast cancer research. each and every page was beautiful, some incredibly touching and raw. Its sad how many of us have been touched by cancer or watched loved ones endure it. We are all warriors in one way or another and that grace, resilience and strength is inspiring. Our amazing community of creatives subbed a whopping 91 pages in the October Inspiration Challenge!

Because of your incredible support $91 was to be donated from the Inspiration challenge submission final tally and well I couldn’t do that I had to round that total up to $100, even numbers work better for me hehe.

I also wanted to donate my share of profits from the sales of my and Lynn’s collaborative Templates 'LIFE RECORDED' that were on special for the month of October. Lynn Grieveson kindly donated her profits too! Wow, love you girl! So together we raised a further $184.95! That equates to a lot of packs being sold and we are eternally grateful for those of you that purchased them. I didn’t want to buck the trend so that total also got rounded up to $200, which means we have managed to raise $300 from the Inspiration challenge and the sale of those templates and I donated that amount to the NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION here in Australia on behalf of all of us!

Don’t go just yet because we haven’t finished, there’s more...our lovely, awesome sauce boss lady Laura  will also be donating $91 to her chosen organisation the SUSAN G KOMEN BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION. How awesome is that! This extra boost of funds gives us a grand total of $391 donated on half of THE LILYPAD. Well done everyone!

Thank you again for your incredible sense of community support. All donations no matter what organisation will help in funding research into breast cancer prevention and treatment and in the mission to attain zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. This is totally achievable and by tapping into our creative energy we have all been a part in helping researchers potentially reach this goal!

On behalf of myself, Laura and Lynn we thank you again for your love and support, we should be very proud of our TLP family, I know I am and am so grateful for everyone in this awesome community.

MY HEART IS FULL!

LIFE RECORDED | BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FUNDRAISER

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a wee while since my last post here at the Nifty Blog. It’s been a hectic few months. I’m at the pointy end of my Breast Cancer treatment, nearing the final few rounds of Herceptin and the final surgery to get myself some new tata’s! Wooho getting excited for 2020 to roll around, for me its going to be significant, a new year, no nasty’s and nothing but blue skies!

To say the last 12 months has been quite a journey would be an understatement but its also had plenty of blessings, I’m here and happy so thats gotta be a good thing right?! hehe October 4th 2018 was my first round of Chemo and so its really timely that October has rolled around again! This month is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS and with DSD here what a perfect opportunity to raise some money on behalf of Breast Cancer Research.

So to kick start the fundraiser Lynn and I have collaborated again on a new template pack for the SPECIAL SATURDAY SALE. This time I designed 4 new 12x12 designs using Lynn’s stunning product. It’s such a buzz to be able to bring you this new set called Life Recorded. Each template focuses on positive moments in life. No matter how tricky life gets you can always find a positive in the little moments & the everyday magic. They are the stuff that ultimately matter at the end of the day. So lets scrap the everyday joys of life and immortalise those precious yet fleeting moments.

So here is how the fundraiser is going to work!

For every LIFE RECORDED TEMPLATE PACK sold during the month of October, I will donate my share of the pack sales to the NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION!  Yep its that simple, if you like it, then by all means buy it and I will donate the money but that is not the only exciting opportunity to help out, see below for another fundraiser!

I’m also hosting the OCTOBER INSPIRATION CHALLENGE over at The Lilypad. This month as a cheeky nod to Breast Cancer Awareness, the challenge criteria is to add either/all a Pink Ribbon, Pink Bow or a strip of Pink paper to your designs. If you want to go all out and create a Pink page then go for it.

Heres the cool part!

For every page that is subbed in this months Inspiration challenge I will donate $1 and Laura the lovely boss lady at TLP will match my amount! How amazing and how good would it be to have the same turn out as we do for the MOC challenges!? So tell your digi scrapping friends all about these two fundraisers, I can’t wait to see what the total amount is at the end of the month and will be sure to keep you posted on the final tally!

And since its DSD I wanted to give you all a gift!

Here is LIFE RECORDED Mini Kit for you to download! Hope you enjoy this lil' pretty!

Don’t forget to check those Tata’s ladies and gents. 

Happy scrapping!
