Hey Digi Scrappers...check out this kit!

Someone I know from an online digital scrapbooking forum is doing the Susan G. Komen 3Day for a Cure in Denver this August. It's 60 miles over 3 days and she has to raise $2300 to participate.

She got together with other digital designers and created this awesome collab kit called pink=power. Many popular digital designers contributed to the kit. The proceeds for this kit will be donated via Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure to support walker Kristi Mahrt.

The kit is quite a bargain at $8! You can purchase it at Shabby Pickle: here I really love the papers in the kit!!

**PLEASE NOTE: I use digital scrapbook kits for blog designs, but this kit is not approved for blog/web design!**

A Ladybug's Legacy

Nikki contacted me last week to say that the child they were about to adopt had passed away. She wanted to quickly put together a charity blog in McKenna's name that collected donations for Grace and Hope, which is group on China that finds foster families for Chinese orphans. They want to create a legacy in McKenna's name. I was able to design this for her family. Visit A Ladybug's Legacy for more information about Grace and Hope.
