One Love...for Haiti

“One love refers to the universal love and respect expressed by all people for all people, regardless of race, creed, or color.”

Forty-eight designers from around the scrapping community have joined together to bring you this incredible kit with the common purpose of raising funds for Haitian aid and relief. Our theme, “One Love”, symbolizes not only our heartfelt effort to help the people of Haiti, but also encompasses the diverse styles of all the designers involved in this project. This kit represents the diversity of our community and shows that even though we are all different, when we come together the result is truly spectacular.

The proceeds from the sale of this kit will be donated to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. We chose the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund not only because it embodies the spirit of One Love, but also because 100% of the donations will go to the relief and recovery efforts in Haiti and because they are working to provide both immediate relief and long-term support to the earthquake survivors.

This beautiful kit includes 114 papers, 356 elements, 3 alphabets, 6 page templates and 1 hybrid template and 16- 12 in. x 12 in. .png quick pages.

This product is only available for a limited time.

You can purchase the kit, the quickpages, or both together as a bundle. Click the links below to go to the Scrap Orchard Market to purchase. The Kit is $15, the Quickpages are $10, and the Bundle is $20.

Now here's something else for you to check out!
On January 22 designers from Scrap Orchard, Sweet Shoppe Designs, After Five Designs, The Lilypad, Scrapbook Graphics, Shabby Pickle, Scrap Matters, Cat Scraps, and Peppermint Creative will come together to release a charity kit to benefit Haiti. Stay tuned for more information coming soon!

Taking a Moment...

I know that everyone has heard and is probably completely horrified at the devastation in Haiti after the earthquake that hit there. Through the wonder of the internet, I have become acquainted with and friends with a wonderful lady named Corey who as adopted FIVE children from Haiti, and right now she's just a mess. Her family have kept in touch with all of the birth mom's they've adopted from (as much as one can keep in contact with anyone in Haiti), and the orphanages they adopted through, and they have many friends that live and work in Haiti. At this moment, Corey has no idea if any of these people have survived. Estimates are that as many as FIFTY THOUSAND have lost their lives. Please, please take time to remember these people and pray for them. ALL the people in Haiti. This is a country that is fighting to survive on a daily basis and this tragedy has increased their struggle ten-fold.

Besides praying, if you feel led to help, here are a few sites worth checking out. I would trust any of them with my money.

I have personally donated to the American Red Cross and Yele Haiti via text message.

You can text "Haiti" to 90999. This will give a $10 donation to the American Red Cross Haiti fund.

www.yele.org is an organization dedicated to helping Haiti, started by Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti. They also have a text donation set up, text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5.

Heartline Ministries, an organization that works with women and children in Haiti. They especially need help so they can continue their work in Haiti.

Real Hope for Haiti This organization runs a rescue center for children in Haiti.

World Wide Village is another group that works with children and families in Haiti

Any and all of these organizations need your help. If you cannot give, that's ok, I know things are tight everywhere. But you can pray, and I beg of you to continue to do that. Pray for the rescue workers, the missionaries, the searchers, the medical personnel, the Haitian-Americans waiting for word on family members, families like Corey's, and most of all the residents of Haiti.

Also, there are MANY blogs who are donating money per comment by readers. For a list, please visit Money Saving Mom: HERE All this takes is some time, and you have contributed to helping Haiti. Please, please visit as many of these sites as you can and comment. Time is one thing we can all spare and share.
