Paperclipping Roundtable #12: Heart on Fire, Brain on Ice

Paperclipping Roundtable #12 was all about balancing scrapbooking for our families versus ourselves! This week’s panel consisted of Noell Hyman, Stacy Julian, Steph from The Daily Digi, and me (along with our resident non-scrapper Izzy).

[Digital] Buy Digital Kits for Charity!

songbird-avenue-endless-summerAt Songbird Avenue, you can fulfill your need for cool new digital scrapbook supplies while you support worthy charities. The digital scrapbooking boutique does only one kit per month, and proceeds of that kit – minus Paypal fees – are donated to a different charity each month.

Each month’s kit costs $8.00 and currently $7.47 of that goes straight to charity. Kits are each primarily designed by a guest designer, and the designer gets to select the charity. July’s guest designer is Dani Mogsted and her selected charity is S.A.F.E. House, a domestic violence shelter in New Mexico.

The kits are only available during their month of release. Since doing their first kit in May 2007, Songbird Avenue has donated over $15,000 in kit proceeds to charity.

Since the only costs deducted from the kit proceeds are Paypal fees, the costs of hosting the site and other Songbird Avenue expenses are paid for via unobtrusive ads on the site.
