SCKC - Southern Cross Kids Camps

Yep, its that time again! If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that at this time of the year, we set to and create 6x6 pages which are then made up to create albums for kids that attend the Southern Cross Kids camps.

The camps are amazing. They bring together kids who don't have the best start in life, and give them a week of amazing opportunities and memories.

Often the kids don't even have enough food at home and are amazed at the variety and amount of food they are able to eat. That's how tough these kids have it.

So for the last few years we've been working to make those memories stay alive for the kids in an even better way. We scrapbookers create the pages, then the buddies who are with the kids put them together with photos and journaling of their time at camp.

Often the photos the kids go home with, are the only photos they have of themselves.

After last years efforts, we had people creating pages during the year. I have about two pizza boxes ready to be sent. THANK YOU so much for helping!

But we need more.

For the Dunedin camp there will be 36 children. Each child receives a book made with 25 pages. That means we need 900 pages. That seems like a lot. And it is. But when we all pull together like we have the last few years, it becomes not only achieveable, but a wonderful fulfilling way to scrapbook.

Please can you do some pages for us?

Details:

Page size: 6x6 inches (that means you can get 4 pages from one sheet of paper!)

Type of pages: Very simple. Both boy and girl styles.

Leaving room for journaling and titles to be added.

Here is one link to an entry I did last year giving you an idea of what was created.....

And here is another.

Plus there is this one giving you inspiration from some ladies who were so generous with their time.

We don't have much time. Just over a month. 39 days to be exact. I'm happy for you to send me your pages, or once you've done some I can give you an address to send them directly.

Dates: I would need to have your LO's by Jan 10th at the latest, alternatively, once you've created them I think you could send directly to the camps in Dunedin (I will need to confirm this) and that would give you another couple of days....

I recon we can do this. Bring it on!

PS: For anyone who does 50 or more pages, I will be giving a rak (and Scrappin Patch will be contributing in this area. THANKS so much SP!)

Hi Trina
I have a bundle that a have made over the year, if you can email me your address I can get the bundle off to you. Will get my A into G and get some more done.

I'm sure you know that things are a bit hard here at the moment. Today was our monthly scrapping day and I was in no frame of mind to scrap l/os for me so I made 16 of these for you. Maybe I'll have time to do some more

[Angela]

Hi Trina. I've got about 45 layouts here...... do you have enough for this camp, in which I can save these and make more for the next camp, or shall I send them to Dunedin? Let me know an address if they are to go to Dunedin and I will get them away tomorrow.
