Spirit of Summer - Victorian Bushfire Charity Kit

Spirit of Summer is a charity collab benefiting the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Not only has this affected Australians, but human beings the world over. 34 Australian and international designers have banded together to help support many Australians, animals and communities decimated by one Australia’s worst national disasters.

What happened?

On Saturday, Feb 7, the temperature in Melbourne was 33C by 9am. By noon it was 40C and by 2.50 pm soared to 47.9C (a state record). Thousands of people were also about to start running from the inferno that would become one of Australia’s worst peacetime disasters. Trees ignited in the blink of an eye. By the time people heard the roar, it was too late to flee ahead of the flames. Unfortunately no one or thing could have stopped this inferno that wiped out communities, bushland, and lives within minutes. Many towns now cease to exist! After watching interviews with survivors, many say that they can't put into words what they went through, saw or felt on that day.

Why is this charity kit different?

No money will change hands at Snap N Tag (our host website). We are asking for your support by donating DIRECTLY to one of the following charities:

Donations
can be made
here: The Salvation Army or here: Australian Red Cross
What do I get for my donation and where:
You will be helping the people of Victoria, Australia most importantly, but you will also receive this amazing MEGA kit (see below).
There are:
167 papers,
326 elements,
2 Alphas and a glitter styles pack as well.
How amazingly fabulous is that and you can receive all of this for as little as a $5.00 donation.
(**Vouchers will be emailed upon receipt of proof of Donation**)
But that's not all! For showing us how much you all really care, you not only get the MEGA kit but receive a Quickpage Album if you donate over $10.00…WOW how awesome is that!

To receive your Charity collab go here at Scrap N Tag (** Don’t forget your receipt of donation**)

I want to personally thank those involved in the creation of this MEGA kit?
34 ladies have done an amazing job planning, creating, collating and advertising for this Charity appeal!
Below is a list of blogs with the names of these people.
Please leave some love for them all to let them know how appreciated their efforts have been.

I would like to thank Vicki and Shaz for organising this wonderful collab and to Carolyn for hosting this at her website, collating and doing the previews.

You have done an amazing job ladies. Also to my fellow designers, without your generosity this Charity Kit would never have happened!

And here is my contribution to this fabulous kit.

Thank you for providing a link to the Salvation Army for donations. Important: on Scrap-n-tag site it says donations no EARLIER than the 20th yet you see many donations before. Did you mean 'no later than" the 20th? If so you might want to extend the time for this because I and I am sure many others might be confused and not get their donations sent in time. I am so heart broken for your country and have always appreciated your fireman's help when the USA was in need. Thank you and all others for creating this beautiful gift...Cindi Stringer
