Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
This event is going to be all about INSPIRATION and REWARD. The theme as you might have guessed is based on the "Wizard of Oz".
You will be "following the yellow brick road" and finding many treasures. You might find courage, through your efforts to fundraise, and you might find your heart as you spend 2 days with wonderful charitable people being rewarded for your efforts, and you might find your brain! Ha ha! I know I put mine here somewhere! Or you just might find your way home in a beautiful Wizard of Oz inspired project created for you by 5 Celebrity Designers all donating their time and creativity to reward you for selflessly giving.
***Amazing Classes and Instructors***

Is this economy hitting you hard? We totally get it and want $$ not to be the reason that anyone is not able to attend. We have a payment plan to help you pay the registration fee and lots of ways to help you raise the minimum $500 donation.
If you choose, you can pay a non-refundable deposit of $55 within 10 days of registration and then the balance of $55 is due by Feb 14th.
If you are not able to attend or do not pay you balance by the due date, your seat will be sold and your deposit will be donated to the charity. |
***How to raise your minimum donations- We will help!***
Need help raising money? Just go shopping! Click here to find out more. Or click here for suggestions on collecting donations.
Let us break it down for you:
If you start October 15th , you will have 155 days to raise $500. We will help you! There are a ton of ideas on the website but if you choose to, you can save the money yourself. You only need to save $3.20 (a Starbucks Drink) a day or $22 a week to reach this goal.
What could you cut out of your life that costs you that amount? Make the commitment and make a huge difference in the life of someone less fortunate than you. That is what SBR is all about...
Three easy ideas...
Ask 10 people for $25 that's $250 your half way there. Host a garage sale- push your stuff out your door and watch the donations add up. We will be hosting a So Cal Garage Sale on December 5th. Check out the blog for details. Give up coffee shop coffee!!! Bring your own coffee to work... this will get you there fast!
 I know times are hard, this economy is hitting us all. Now is the time that we need to give a little more. Those people that needed help before, need help even more now. They have lost jobs, lost homes, dignity, the list goes on.
If we band together like the Dorothy, The Tin Man, The Scarecrow and Lion together we can reach my goal of $30,000 for these very worthy charities.
Scrapbookers are a unique group. They are sentimental, caring people who love to get together and crop! It is a natural fit for them to have a great time while raising money for charity. That being said, we are taking donations of hand made items to add to the silent auction.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE REGISTERED PARTICIPANT TO CONTRIBUTE! Everyone is welcome to donate. Anything hand made qualifies. It can be a mini book, a necklace, a scarf… the possibilities are endless. Get creative and get recognized for your creativity!
Nothing is more rewarding than donating to noble causes.
Please email us at info@scrapbookroyalty.com if you are able to contribute so we can register your item and assign it an auction number.

Become Scrapbook Royalty!
There are five ways to do this:
1) The Queen of Philanthropy
Bring in the most donations and be crowned "Queen of Philanthropy". Click here for suggestions on collecting donations.
2) Queen of Silent Auctions
At this time all the silent auctions will be for handmade as well as non-scrapbooking related items. Bring your own handmade creation to donate and together we can raise money for these worthy causes. The participant that donates the most money through silent auction will be crowned "Queen of Silent Auctions".
3) Queen of Crafts
Win a tiara and fabulous prizes. Bring a handmade item for the Silent Auction. If your item fetches the most money will be crowned "Queen of Crafts".
4) "Queen of A Lot" - lot (l t) n. Miscellaneous articles sold as one unit.
As part of our fundraising we are asking that scrappers bring their unwanted scrapbook items to the crop and we will have a
silent auction for each "lot".
- The person that brings the LOT that is auctioned off for the most money will become "Queen of a LOT" and will be crowned during
the evening's festivities.
- Each LOT will be displayed and bidders will have the opportunity to preview the contents before bidding. Gather those unused or gently
used items and bring them in a box, you may want to decorate the box to entice bids on your LOT.
- After the silent auction, the winners will have the opportunity to go through their boxes and discard items they know they won't
be using. These items will be put on the "$1 table" and be up for purchase by other scrappers (card stock and scrapbook paper will be 4 for $1).
- Any leftover items after the sale will be donated to charity. A "Win-Win" for all involved.
- All charity table purchases can be paid for with cash or check. Purchase supplies as you need them or start a tab to be paid
at the event's end.
5) Queen of Sweets
Bring a handmade dessert to share with your fellow croppers and compete for the title "Queen of Sweets"! We will serve your homemade treats during tea time and participants will vote on their favorite dessert! Make BITE SIZED pieces for 40 people. The winner will be crowned during the festivities.
