Fresh Baked: October 17, 2014

Good morning! The weather was all fall-like, and now getting some warmer temps in the afternoons. Completely fall, but makes choosing what to wear wicked hard. The designers aren’t letting the weather get them down! They’re in the autumn and Halloween spirit. Templates to make scrapping those pictures even easier, and kits to make those pictures just pop off the page!

Before I show you the new goodies, I have to show you some amazing layouts using the new Buffet and the Monthly Mix, “As the Leaves Turn”.

Created by emscraps. I love the clusters. They’re so wonderfully done.

Created by lorigaud. I love the paper squares mixed with the picture that’s cut.

Created by ScrapinMama. I love the layers. The picture is so cool, too!

The wonderful thing about being a part of the digi-scrap world is the way we come together from all over the world to raise money for a cause, a catastrophe or a friend in need.

This time we come together for one of our own, Melissa (aka LissyKay Designs)

Melissa Melanson-Dawes (aka LissyKay Designs) just underwent her 14th spine operation and now has to face yet another operation. She has had to take her 3rd leave of absence from work and will have to stay on bed rest following this next operation through the end of the year. With all the medical bills and cost of living, the family is not in a financial position to do this, but has no choice as Melissa’s spine damage has worsened to the point that she was losing the ability to walk.

Still recovering from the last round of surgeries, the family now finds themselves in an even worse position than before. Melissa still needs more treatment and the family is facing losing their small condo due to their finances being drained. We hope that you will join in and help the Dawes family during their time of need so that Melissa can continue to receive the life-saving care she requires. They have kept the drastic nature of their situation quite private, but it is at a point they stand to lose what little they have and this will impact the further care Melissa needs.

Many thanks to the 20 amazing designers have come together to help raise money for this wonderful family:
