A Little Help from My Friends

Posted by Aaron aka Sir Scrapalot on Apr 18, 2011 | View Comments

The digi world is a funny place.  Where else would you form such strong friendships with someone you’ve never actually met?  Where else could you feel pain for someone you have never even spoken to?  The wonders of the internet allow us to grow close to each other, creating strong bonds and supportive friendships, even though we may not be geographically close.  That’s pretty amazing.

I can’t tell you when I “met” La.  I know it was a while back, and I know it was because she wanted to check on me about something.  I can tell you that we quickly became friendly, and before I knew it, we were talking often on Yahoo!  It was still early in my designing career, and I remember having tons of questions.  La never hesitated to answer the questions I had, to share ideas, to help me make my products better.  More than once a kit preview got changed because La was sure it wasn’t showing off the kit the best.  She had become a friend, and a mentor.  I learned how to doodled in Illustrator from her, she taught me how to make full and useful kits, and she challenged me to always try to be better.  As all friendships do, ours has changed over time.  However, I am always thankful to know that I have a friend out there and a mentor that was always willing to help.

Now, La needs our help.  La is a single mother, and designing is her only income.  Recently, she has been hospitalized with some serious health problems leaving her unable to do a lot, including design.  I believe that the strength of our community is so powerful, that we can help La get through this difficult time.  La has helped me so much over the years, that today I am asking you to help me help her.

This past weekend, a fundraising kit was released at Sweet Shoppe Designs to benefit La.  I purchased it almost immediately, it’s truly a stunning collection of designs from designers who want to help their friend.  Unfortunately, I was unable to participate, but today I want to share this kit with you in hopes that it will inspire you to help La as well.

Here’s a layout I did with the kit:

The kit will only be available until the end of April, so please take a minute and consider purchasing it.  You’ll be helping a friend of mine, as well as making a difference in the life of someone who truly needs us right now.

Who Says – New from Sir Scrapalot Designs

Posted by Aaron aka Sir Scrapalot on Apr 15, 2011 | View Comments

I started out making this kit with a whole other theme in mind.  However, as it came together, I started to notice how girly, but powerful it was.  Soft and strong at the same time…slowly, the new Selena Gomez song “Who Says” became the theme of the kit.  This may be due to the look and feel of the kit, or the sheer fact that I have two girls who would listen to that song on repeat if they could.  Whatever the case may be, I give you “Who Says.”

My team was SO excited to have a new kit to work with, they really went above and beyond with this one.  I even scrapped with it!  Check out our layouts.

As always, “Who Says” is 20% off this weekend!  Make sure you check it out!
