Imagine the Possibilities


 I have been running my business for well over 20 years. What started out as a Sunday school project evolved into a business idea, all from my kitchen table. Royal Scrap Club was created and founded in 1999 and has been a thriving faith-based home business every since. We have evolved from two people scrapbooking at my kitchen table to hosting monthly workshops and quarterly open events. We have added page kits and faith and esteem building workshops.

I was very content until my youngest sister told me about Corner to Corner. After doing some research I decided apply to be added to the wait list. I wasn't sure if I would be a part of the random selection. But praise God I was selected. I am so glad that I was a part of the program. While I was already in business for over 20 years, a lot of things I had taught myself through trial and error. But overall, I am very thankful to have gone through the program.

The Academy

The Academy is a 10-week program that equips community members with the skills they need to plan, start, and grow their own small businesses. The Academy helps neighbors create a sustainable economic engine for their families and community. In an effort to remove many of the typical barriers to entrepreneurial training, The Academy is offered in a variety of locations – all within walking distance of government housing projects. And in 2020, we also started offering virtual classes. The program is intentionally affordable. Students are only required to cover the cost of their curriculum workbook. Since inception, The Academy has graduated almost 850 entrepreneurs, each in various stages of small business ownership. And 88% of our Academy community is made up of Black women.


Corner to Corner is the ONLY Nashville-based nonprofit that offers an exclusive program designed to equip underestimated entrepreneurs with the skills they need to plan, start, and grow their own small business.

 



New Season. New Inspiration

Royal Scrap Club is moving into a new season. I don't exactly know where we're going from here, but I know it's up! We have found I knew meeting space that I'm praying will evolve into a more permanent situation. We have outgrown our current space by about 30 guests. We are also bringing back the loyalty program. Our Hi-Qi loyalty program is if you buy 6 page  layout kits, you get one free.

Yes, we are continuing to grow and the possibilities are endless
