Footloose Budget Club and Workshop!

Tissue stamping, bamboo badge buttons, and edging with the white stamp pad!  Don't miss this!  The footloose budget club meeting will be on June 12 at my home.  You can email me for details as to what to bring.  Place a $25 order and your page is free or pay $5 for your materials.  We will be creating a super fun layout highlighting our photos to create one of a kind titles and a large journaling space.  Also, use our new badge buttons to stamp on and add multiply colors to your stamped images using toilet paper! Plus, don't know what to use that white stamp pad for?  Create eye catching quotes or add the perfect soft edge to this gorgeous paper!

IT'S BACK - STAMPAGANZA!

As you know STAMPAGANZA means buy 2, get 1 FREE!  This means that everytime you purchase 2 stamp sets of your choice you get 1 of equal or lesser value FREE!  I have taken the time to break down the prices for you to see the best value!  You will still pay ship/tax on the free item (per CTMH).  The letter sizes can be found at the beginning of each item number.  I have calculated ship/tax based upon a gathering order of a percentage instead of direct ship costs to you.

A size $6.95 each - $8.20 with ship/tax
B size $9.95 each - $11.74 with ship/tax
C size $13.95 each - $16.46 with ship/tax
D size $17.95 each - $21.18 with ship/tax
E size $29.95 each - $35.34 with ship/tax

If you purchase 3 of the same stampsets you will save whatever the price of the 3 stamp set is (ie. 3 C size stamp sets saves you $13.95 off your total order).  You can mix and match the sizes of your stamp sets, just note that the FREE stamp set will be the lowest price item.  Remember if you purchase $50 or more you can also add the adorable SOTM for just $5.

Also, you are more than welcome to place an order online at my website, www.scrapali.myctmh.com - shop online

June Budge Club and Workshop

Looking for a great way to get lots of layouts done, more inspiration, new techniques, and more!  Join the Budget Club!  This year I am celebrating my 5-year anniversary and pulling out all the STOPS!  In June to kick off summer we will be using the new Footloose Workshops on the Go kit and album pages!  I love scrapbooking and I have pictures left over all the time.  I don't want to just throw them away, but there isn't enough left over or not that great of pic to put on a page.  To solve the problem and to help me scrapbook faster, simplier, and easier I am using the Album pages.  You may have seen these before if you follow Ali Edwards and her project life album, but I wanted to take that inspiration and make it my own!  Last year my family and I took the kids to the beach for their first time!  It was a great week and I came back with a ton of photos and many stories.  It took a while to scrapbook all those precious memories and even after my pages were finished I still had photos I didn't want to just toss out.  I order the Album pages and set to work.  This is also a great way to use up scraps!
Although, I had scrapped most of my pictures I couldn't figure out a nice way to introduce the trip, until I saw the new layout in the Footloose Workshops on the Go.  I used the right page as my title page (see below).  Of course, if you know me you also know I LOVE the flip flaps!  I love the ease in adding 2-4 extra pictures layered on top to create a mini album.  On this layout I also used the tissue stamping technique and the exclusive stamp set combined with the new Wooden Badge buttons to create one of a kind embellishments. 

After I had finally completed all my pages I still had over 40 pictures I just couldn't imagine tossing to the side.  I have always been inspired by Ali Edwards and thought her project life idea would be perfect for these left over photos.  I grabbed a couple album pages from my stash and set to work.  We will use the scraps from our layout and add the new colored Footloose Dimensional Elements to add simple and fun embellishments.  Just crop down a few of your photos, add a little stamping, and in a minutes you have used your extra pictures, but added a little extra special touches to those boring album pages.

More details will be posted soon about the date and location of the Footloose Workshop and budget club!  You don't want to miss this!

Where are children of abuse?

It happens more often than any of us want to believe. Each year, over 3 million American children are reported as abused... physically attacked, emotionally damaged, sexually molested, or severely neglected - often by the people they have loved and trusted most.

They are children like Jimmy - an eight-year old who has known more of violent tempers and cruel comments than he has hugs and kind words and loving encouragement. It is for children like Jimmy that we created Royal Family KIDS.

Most Social Services departments refer children to faith based camps such as those sponsored by the Salvation Army and Catholic Social Services when two criteria are met; namely, that no child is coerced to accept any particular religion, and that the foster placement program, foster parents or other caretakers are given a voluntary choice. Royal Family KIDS meet these two criteria.

Although each camp counselor and staff member is a committed Christian, the camps do not proselytize, and no religion is ever criticized or denigrated.

The camps extend Christian love and care, with adults modeling a non-violent, positive way of life as an alternative to many of the negative, abusive situations which children of abuse and neglect have faced.
