Digi Scraps,
Family Scraps Our store designers as well as two additional Australian designers have put together a HUGE kit as a fundraiser for Bonnie Babes. The kit is on sale for only $15 which is amazingly cheap considering the kit is over 340mb in size with hundreds of pieces! (too many to count!) Click on the preview to go to the kit in store… here are a few details about the kit and charity.
A Whisper of a Dream — a collaboration digital scrapbook kit created by 8 very talented designers ; Robyn Gough (clikchic), Shelleyrae (Scrapabyt Designs), Debbie Mackenzie, Serenity Digital Designs, Bag of Scraps, Honie Designs, Trish Jones and Deb F. A Whisper of a Dream was created as a fundraiser for a very worthy cause, The Bonnie Babes Foundation.
From the Bonnie Babes website —
The Bonnie Babes Foundation is an international organisation which is the only one of its type in Australia and America. All proceeds the organisation raises are towards:
Perinatal Medicine for medical research projects and to counsel families who are grieving after the loss of a baby. We have 24 hour, 7 day per week grief counselling lines in Australia. The Foundation also assists in education to health professionals.
The Foundation is a non-profit organisation run by committee members and volunteers. Sadly, more than 50,000 babies die each year from miscarriage, stillbirth and prematurity.
The Foundation was established in February 1994. A passionate team of volunteers, dedicated to the aims of the Foundation provide group, individual and telephone grief counselling assist the charity. The Foundation also raises funds to assist vital medical research projects which aim to reduce the staggering statistics of one in four pregnancies ending in a loss.
All proceeds of the kit will be donated to the Bonnie Babes foundation.
I did some layouts with the kit that I have been dying to share but wanted to wait till we released the kit.
I did this one of Jaz, and one of Jacob, still have to do one of Kyan.
Click on the layouts if you want to see the larger version. The poem on Jacob’s I wrote shortly after we lost him. The layout of Jaz was of a photo we had done of her last year. I LOVE that photo.

Family Scraps I just can’t resist sharing Jasmine’s artwork! I just LOVE how creative she is getting and watching her imagination blossoming is so much fun!
Here are her two latest masterpieces!
She did this one the other day. She was given a Steve Parish butterfly book as a result of her Sad face last week. (see previous posts!) Thanks Grandpa for the book and lovely bits and pieces! She LOVED her surprise! (Thanks also to Oma who sent her a beautiful hand made card!)
Anyway, as most of our family and friends know, she LOVES butterflies and draws and paints them all the time. This time she opened the book on the table and drew this butterfuly using the photo in the book to copy from. We were totall blown away by her efforts. She asked what butterflies ate too and so she drew the flowers so the butterfly would have something to eat. Cute huh!
The other day she drew a mermaid with red hair and green tail like Arial which she gave to Oma last weekend, and the fins and fish on it were so cute. Today she drew a fish which I thought I would share as well!
She cut this one out as well. Her cutting is getting pretty good now and she cut around the edges of the drawing. But how cute is this fish! With little flower, butterfly and a rainbow and all! Don’t you love the smiley face, yellow fins and green tail!
We have been working on getting Jasmine to pack up her toys etc, a bit more and it has been a real challenge. Often when we have a cleanup we ask her to help and she says she is to tired and gets all sulky. I finally figured out that it is because she thinks we want her to do EVERYTHING which of course is not the case. I explained it all to her and have now implimented a sticker chart to help encourage her to pack up her stuff when she is done with it. I made a bunch of stickers with mailing labels and scanned drawings of hers. She did some stars and hearts the other day with a stencil which gave me the idea.
I made a chart and every time she gets 10 stickers she gets a little surprise, whether it be a sweet treat or a little present. Well today she made it to 10 stickers in only 3 days and she got a little strawberry shortcake notebook which I had leftover in my cupboard from Christmas (she had too many gifts! LOL). She now tells us all the time how much she loves packing up and the constant mess around here is no longer so constant. Ok, so still a bit untidy but not near as bad as it usually is. YEAH!
