Good morning SCT friends! Happy Friday 🙂
Thank you for stopping by today! It’s been a busy week of packing our September SCT Sampler which starts shipping today, sending our beautiful new fall issue off to the printer and receiving so many boxes full of awesome products for our fall Crop & Create events. With all the joys of this week, our hearts have been saddened by the news of the destruction in the Bahamas and we want to help…with your help.
For every kit, class, stamp or subscription purchased between today and next Friday, we will donate $2 to the Brian & Sarah Baumler (Leave It To Bryan on HGTV and awesome Canadians!) Caerula Mar Hurrican Dorian Relief. Bryan & Sarah are matching 100% of the donations so for every $2 we share, it will become $4. If you’ve been thinking about a subscription to our new fall issue, one of our online classes, stamps or one of our brand new kits, now is the time. You can see all that we have available on our website HERE! Thank you for helping us help our friends in the Bahamas.

Before our amazing Partner Celebration started, our friends at Creative Memories were here with not one, not two but THREE of their brand new 12″ paper trimmers to give away to three lucky SCT readers! Want to know who’s lucky? Here are our three randomly selected winners…
I still use the small trimmer from Creative Memories. It’s 24 years old and works great! Alma Dirpaul July 26, 2019
I have a CM multi-purpose tool that I’m sure is quite old, I keep it in my tool cart right next to my desk and it gets lots of use–handy little thing. I also have the custom cutting set which get less use, but I pull it out once in a while. I also have a couple of the shape bunches that cuts 2 sizes of each design. I’m glad to see CM back in business and would love to try out their new paper trimmer. Sheri Kempke July 26, 2019
Perfect timing! I am on the lookout for a trimmer that actually cuts straight consistantly. My most used CM product is actually the first one I ever bought a very, very long time ago when I first heard the word scrapbooking… the corner punch. Ashley Benoit July 26, 2019
Congratulations ladies! Please send us your mailing information including telephone number to ideas@scrapbookandcards.com. Thank you again to Creative Memories for this amazing giveaway!

Thank you SCT friends for being such a blessing to us here. When we count our blessings, we absolutely count each of you for being a part of all that we do. xoxo ~ Catherine
Yay to the winners and yay to you for helping the Bahamian people! Off to shop!
Such an incredibly generous giveaway and helping hand! I’m in Miami and was so worried for days and praying for the Bahamas!
My list of things I am most grateful for is long. Friends to lift me up, enough of all I need and lots of wonderful memories of a life well lived. But most of all I am grateful for God’s love and grace and his blessing of motherhood. I was blessed with a daughter through adoption. And there you go, another blessing. My daughter’s birth mother. Blessings are everywhere, for everybody. Sometimes they just don’t come in the packaging or timing you expect.
Oh. This is wonderful to donate. Can my purchase that was done last Friday be included to the Bahama donations well please.
My prayers go out to all of the hurricane victims. I am truly grateful for the life I have lived. My husband is my rock.
My prayers go out to all the Hurricane victims. My blessings are my family and friends.
I’m grateful for my health and my family who supports me. I’m also thankful for a supportive crafting community that is stepping up to offer much-needed relief to those affected by Dorian! Thanks, SCT.
I am grateful for the love of my family. When I was growing up my family did not have a lot of money for extras, but I never felt that anything was lacking, because I knew I was surrounded by love. We may have not have been rich in material things, but we were definitely rich in love.
I’m truly graftful for my family and all the Lord has given me! Prayers for the people in the Bahamas!
I love this big crafty community for kicking it up & helping out globally!
Congratulations, to the lucky winners!
I’m so grateful for my faith, family and friends. It’s so heartbreaking to hear about the people in the Bahamas. Thoughts and prayers are with them!
Today I am grateful that being in Florida I did not have to pack up my house and evacuate again but I am terribly saddened at the loss and destruction in the Bahamas.
Today I am thankful for my family. I do not live in hurricane world, and find taking it all in quite a lot to process. Sorry for the people in the Bahamas. Will definitely be praying.
I am thankful for my family and blessed to be in an area where the weather is not so unpredictable. Prayers for everyone affected.
I’m thankful for my cat, Rascal George, the elderly that I visit as a Senior Companion, and life in general. Every day when you wake up, your feet hit the floor and you’re breathing is a wonderful day. Also, thankful for the wonderful Totally Tiffany that I won. It is the best. Thank you and congratulations to the winners of the trimmer. Yeah, you!
I am thankful for so, so many things..especially to be lucky enough to be born and raised in Canada. We, as a country, have so much to be thankful for. Running water, heat, grocery stores to shop at and pick out fresh food from..great medical system, doctors and nurses.. free schooling for our children…the list is endless. I am incredibly thankful for my husband, family and friends and all of the wonderful ladies and men in the scrapbooking community. Feeling Truly Blessed!
Congratulations to the winners. 🙂
You are really generous!!! 🙏
My heart goes out to all the people affected by Hurricane Dorian, everywhere it hit! I’m grateful for my family and my home, here in safe, northern New Jersey.

Such a tragedy what happened to such a beautiful area. Grateful for all my family & their good health.
Thank you for partnering with Sarah and Brian!!
I’m most grateful for supportive family and friends who are always there for everyone ❤️
So many things to be grateful for each and every day, but I am most grateful for God’s love and grace.
I am always thankful for my loving family. Being in So. Florida, I can really feel the pain that the people in the Bahamas are going through. I work for a company who is collecting funds from customers for the hurricane relief efforts, too.
I’m thankful that my family is safe and that none of us has ever had to deal with the devastation of a natural disaster.
I am grateful for my awesome family. Also that that darn hurricane didn’t hit Puerto Rico , where I have many family members. My heart bleeds for the people of the Bahamas. It’s so very sad. God bless them all.
I’m thankful that God has blessed me with a wonderful, supporting family and friends along with health and a fulfilling career. Thank you for donating to the Bahamas!
I am thankful for waking up each morning. For living a life surrounded by my family, having a roof over my head, food on my table and people to share it with. I am thankful for clean water, a great community and for the many, many blessings in my life. Thank you for donating to the Bahamas. It is tragic what has happened there but it is heartwarming to see people come together to help. Congratulations to the winner as well. Enjoy your trimmers ladies, they look awesome.
Congrats to the winners.
Prayers for the Bahamas.
And I am most greatful for my two wonderful Grandsons.
My heart goes out to the poor people in the Bahamas. I truly hope that we as a community can do our part to help the people in need. I am grateful for God in my life, my wonderful family and friends and good health. What a blessing!
I am thankful for my life and embrace each as a new adventure. I was blessed to be raised by parents that were hard workers and believed in a better future for their children. Like so many others here, I am grateful to be a Canadian and have the opportunities of living in a country that not only has great services and quality of life but rallies to help others in need. Thank you for being a kind and generous organization.
Fabulous kit! Looks like so much fun to create with this pretty kit!
I’m grateful for my crafty friends!
Awesome to be sending help to the people of the Bahamas!
Grateful to have found a house and that my kids all like school so far.
Grateful for my family and friends and that we are in a position to help others.
I am so grateful that Dorian did not hit Florida, at one point it was coming right for my area. My heart goes out to the Bahamian people at this tragic time.

I am so grateful for my adult son who took holidays from his job and helped put in the wheat harvest with his father for two weeks. His dad has MS so we were so thankful that he gave of his time to do this.
I’m grateful that here in New Bern, NC Dorian did not have the destructive power it had elsewhere. Many in this area are STILL recovering from Florence, so another round of storm damage would have been discouraging to all. Unfortunately the coastal area wasn’t as fortunate.
I am grateful for having a job that I love and a boss that appreciates my work.
Truly grateful for Catherine and Jack, SCT, C&C and stable 19 for bringing so many blessings into my life.
I am grateful for my faith in Jesus and my family.
I am grateful for my Granddaughter who is 14 months old. She has my heart ♥️
Changed my world in ways I could not have imagined.
My heart goes out to all the people that lost everything. It makes me realized how extremely lucky I am to have all my loved ones and friends around me, and my possessions all intact. God bless these brave souls.
My heart is devastated for those who lost everything from Hurricane Dorian. Awesom idea for sending donations to help people in Bahamas! I am grateful for my crafty friends who get together once a month and share our stories and laughter.
As I sit with my teenage son I am so thankful for the amazing man he is becoming.

I live in a suburb of Raleigh NC and we dodged a bullet with Dorian! We got rain and wind, but no loss of electricity or property damage. I am so grateful for that!
Congrats to those who won the trimmer! What an awesome prize!
Love this collection, simply blessed, and I’m truly grateful for where I live and the job and roof over my head.
I am grateful that I am healthy and surrounded with love one at all times. I am thankful that I can wake up every morning and enjoy a simple cup of coffee.
It makes my heart happy to see the kindness the crafting community has for those in need. Praying for all those affected by Dorian.
Thanks so very much for the trimmer!!! My current trimmer is quite old. What perfect timing!!!
I am grateful that my son and family were able to evacuate S. Carolina and spend time with us and make it home safely.
First of all, I would like to applaud SCT for their generosity during this tragic and troubling time for the people that call the Bahamas home… Their homes, families, and lives were uprooted by Hurricane Dorian… I do consider myself a man of God, and feel quite humbled by how the worst of circumstances bring out the best in people… I don’t live in the Bahamas, nor do I know anyone from the Bahamas, however, the scenes I have been seeing of the utter devastation on the news over this past week almost makes me cry… I can’t help but imagine how they feel, how scared they are and where their next meal will come from… Which brings me to the giveaway question… I am truly blessed to have my family near where I live, true friends whom value who I am, and,most of all, I am surrounded by all of the grace of the Lord…. In conclusion, I would like to say “kudos” to all of the staff at SCT, and may God bless each and every one of you… Thanks also for the chance to win this fabulous prize!!
Thank you Brian. Beautiful words. We are so grateful for this community and special people like you.
Congrats to the winners! Thankful for friends and family and a wonderful crafting community wanting to help those affected by Dorian!
Grateful for my loving
husband Phil! He is my
world!

Grateful to SCT and your generosity. You are a class act! Sending prayers to all those who were affected!
I think it’s great you are donating and a perfect giveaway to match ❤️
I have so many blessings to mention them all. I most appreciate the simple things like a roof over my head, food to eat, clean water to drink and all my friends and family.
I am grateful for my wonderful husband. He is my rock.
I am blessed with a great family and fairly good health. I’m so grateful for my creative outlet tribe! Love these ladies! For ten months of the year we get together at least once a month to scrapbook, usually 2-3 times and spend our weekends creating beautiful things with paper.
So great of SCT to help out. I am grateful for family and friends, and for reminders never to take them for granted.
Beautiful collection!! I am grateful for my family
I am grateful for the love and support of my family. Also, medical care especially for my daughter as she fights ulcerative colitis.

Thank you for reminding me to be grateful!! Reflecting on what you have is important and quickly brings you back to reality! In these times of extreme weather conditions it’s great that we can come together and assist. Thank you SCT for your endless generosity!!
I have a lot of family in the Canadian maritimes that also got smashed by Dorian. I thank heaven they are all fine & just have clean up & small repairs to do. But the people of the Bahama’s have been devastated. They have lost sooo very much. I’m glad we can help in some small way. Hopefully as many of us give they will be blessed & their life regained. Thoughts & prayers are upholding them. Blessings – 🌸💜✨
I am so very grateful for my dear husband whom I love very much.
Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful kit.
I am so grateful that Hurricane Dorian did not cause as much destruction here in Nova Scotia. Many have been without power for days but we all still have homes and our loved ones are safe, and for that, I am grateful.
As I was standing in my warm shower this morning complaining to myself that I had to get up and go to work it dawned on me … I have the ability to stand up, the ability to have warm, flowing water and the chance to go work and help my crew and company.
I immediately stopped my whining and thanked God for all I have. So many people are struggling each day. I am thankful for what has been given to me.
What a wonderful giveaway! I am thankful for my families health and happiness 💖
So thankful for my kids and husband. Family is everything.
This is wonderful! So generous to raise money for the hurricane victims! So grateful for family, food, and shelter.
I am so very thankful for the roof over my head, the food in our fridge and hot showers. We often take for granted the simple things of this life and I want to count every blessing. My husband and I visited the Bahamas not so long ago and seeing the photos of its beauty turned to ruin is heartbreaking. My eight-year-old son saw a Red Cross ad on TV Sunday about donating $10 to hurricane relief and he quickly said I should donate to the effort. To make it more meaningful, I told him if he donated half, I would donate half. We immediately said okay, ran to his piggy bank and returned with a five dollar bill. I am so proud of that little man!!! And what a true blessing!!!
I live in Melbourne, FL and I feel so blessed that Dorian did not make landfall here. My heart goes out to those affected tragically by this monster storm. Thanks so much for choosing to help out.
Carol B
I am thankful for all simple blessings and pray for those that have struggles during this time.
I am thankful that I live in a safe part of the world where we dont have hurricanes. I am thankful for living in a city where we have services such as hydro. So many in eastern Canada are still without power. Others had major damage and lost many trees in their area. I am thankful nobody was harmed in the Maritimes during the hurricane. It is heartbreaking to see how much damage there was in Halifax and even more so in the Bahamas, how many lost their homes and the growing number of people who died. We are so fortunate that we dont experience the strong hurricanes that others do in the Caribbean.
I feel very blessed to live where I live. My heart is with all the people in the Bahamas right now. ❤️
Congrats to all the previous winners, very thankful for all of my family.

I am thankful to wake up every day and know that I am still healthy, that I have a wonderful husband and children and grandchildren. I pray for the victims of the Bahamas and all the devastation that was done there.
So grateful for my family and a roof over our heads!
I’m grateful for many things related to my current treatment for breast cancer – the overwhelming support from family & friends; the fact I live in a country where my ability to be treated successfully for this disease is not based on my income; and my faith that helps me to remain positive and optimistic even through the periodic periods of uncertainty and fear!
Feeling grateful for this wonderful, giving community!
I am grateful that my family members who were in the path of the hurricane were not affected. Thank you for your fundraising efforts for the Bahamas.

So grateful I live in a safe place where Hurricanes are rare. Thank you for helping the Bahama people. I will be purchasing to help.
I am grateful to be part of a community of crafters that looks to help out those in need. I don’t know of any other community quite like this one!
Every day I have reason to be grateful. First and foremost I am so grateful for my children. They are the 3 best decisions I ever made. Second I am so grateful for my parents and so happy to still have them in my life, they’re 97 and 92 and celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary this past March. I am so very grateful for my family and friends, whether I talk to my friends every day or we just chat on fb every once in awhile, you’re still important to me.
I am grateful for a comfortable bed and warm blanket where I can relax every night and put away the worries of the day. I am grateful for family and friends who are as much as family who I love very much and I know love me. I am grateful for a wonderful support system through my family and friends and grateful that I am able to support them as well. Through all of this I am grateful for peace of mind and this is what I wish for all the survivors of the devastation in the Bahamas.

I’m grateful for my little dog who is 13 today! He is my little shadow bringing me unconditional love and joy everyday!
Most of us have our own problems in life that we can get bogged down with, but when you see devastation like there is in the Bahamas, you can’t be helped but to lay your problems aside and think about those who have lost everything. I am grateful that there are people like SCT and numerous others that are willing to step up and help these people. Thank you for your generosity!
With everything going on in the world right now with politics, remembering 9/11, the devastation in the Bahamas, I am so grateful to be living in a wonderful country (Canada), grateful for my family, my health, a nice home and so much more. Wishing everyone else many blessings too.
Thank you for this Ministry to the Bahamas! God Bless you for making this possible it will be a great help I am sure. We have much to be thankful for in our Country.
