Songbird Avenue Inc.

Each month here at The Daily Digi, we will be sharing with you the new releases at Songbird Avenue Inc.  Songbird has a mission statement that we believe in and want to do our part to support:

Songbird Avenue, Inc. is a digital scrapbooking-based online boutique whose proceeds are donated to various charities each month in an effort to give compassionately to those in need.

Here’s a little about Songbird:

Songbird Avenue is a result of the combined efforts of Jan Crowley and Meredith Fenwick.  Both designers with long-standing reputations in the digital community, these two women decided that they wanted to focus their efforts on a digital store devoted to charity.  They started planning and dreaming and in May of 2007, Songbird Avenue was born.  With an amazing debut and a incredibly warm reception by the community, they have been inspired to continue on the path of giving and Songbird Avenue is now a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.  All proceeds from the sale of digital goods on the site every month, minus the PayPal fees, are donated directly to the qualified charity of the guest designer’s choice.  Songbird Avenue has given to many charities including Autism Speaks, the American Diabetes Association, the Fisher Center for Alzheimer Research, Toys for Tots and Make a Wish Foundation to name a few.  Over $40,000 has been raised and donated to these causes by Songbird Avenue.

Here’s some information about February’s collection at Songbird Avenue:

On January 12th, the earthquake that rocked the island nation of Haiti resonated throughout the world through news organizations and the internet.  Many people wondered what they can do to help, many people have contributed to charities and raised funds through whatever means they had at their disposal.  Songbird Avenue, as a site devoted to charitable giving, has asked past guest designers to come together with us to create a beautiful piece of art to benefit Doctors Without Borders, just one of so many organizations committed to helping the people of Haiti.  Over 56 designers came together to create this colorful digital scrapbooking kit, including over 100 papers, over 200 embellishments, 6 templates and 8 alpha sets.  For only $8, you can purchase the kit to use to scrap your cherished memories and send help to a country and organization that needs it.

After you purchase the Port au Prince kit (or donate to any charity of your choice), be sure to email me and let me know so I can send you a link to download the Valentine cupcake wrappers.
