Help Bring Brady Home


This kit is not just any ordinary kit; it is for an amazing cause and an amazing little guy that needs a family, a home, and someone to love and care for him. The Hartman family, are in the process of adopting the sweet boy below. They feel called to rescue this little boy "Brady" from a mental institution in Eastern Europe. Because he has Downs Syndrome, Brady was abandoned at birth, just like the majority of children with any sort of disabilities in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. lt is standard procedure when these children turn between 4-6 years old (depending on region) that they are transferred from Orphanages to full blown Mental Institutions. This transfer is very traumatic, and many times these children suffer and sometimes die due to the conditions. Brady has already been transferred and The Hartmans are trying to get to him as quickly as possible. So I told this sweet family that I would ask the girls at "Stuff to Scrap" to Help!! The cost of this adoption is well between $20,000- $30,000 and so we just want to be able to contribute a little toward that huge amount. The amazing designers at "Stuff to Scrap" have put together an awesome collaboration that can be used to donate to this great cause. All proceeds from the sell of *Brady* goes directly to the Hartman's adoption fund.
Please consider helping in this amazing endeavor to BRING BRADY HOME!!

FREE FULL SIZED KIT & A SPEED SCRAP

This post is copied from Tammy's Blog with information about sweet Kiya.

In Memory of Kiya

This kit was made in memory of my husband’s late daughter, Kiya Renee. Today is the 5 year anniversary since she passed away. Each time my husband sees a butterfly, he thinks of Kiya; we say she is flying with the butterflies. She lived for 5 ½ years with cerebral palsy, battling surgeries and many illnesses. Through it all, she always had the most amazing smile & laugh. There’s something beautiful about those moments in your child’s life that may seem insignificant to others – my husband can remember all those moments with Kiya. The next time you see a butterfly, remember all those parents who have lost a child and remember to hug your child every night.

For ONE DAY ONLY, the wonderfully sweet designers (Amy & Dana) behind AmyDane Designs, are offering Something Beautiful FREE. Instead of spending $3.99 on the kit, if you could, please donate that to United Cerebral Palsy at http://www.ucp.org/ucp_general.cfm/1/5.


Here are a couple layouts that I did using the kit and the add-on (which is free until the end of Jan)

Also there is a Speed Scrap tomorrow hosted by Rainamoon Scraps. Check out the flier and the cute participation prize. Click HERE to be taken to the forum to let us know you'll be there.
