Super Saturday at SNP; plus a freebie!

True North Scraps have a couple of kits that are going into Scraps N Pieces Super Saturday Sales.

The first one is Small World for $3.00. Small World is anything but small! Sure the elements are themed about small items like ladybugs, garden gnomes, and cute little mice, but there are almost 50 of them! The 15 papers are so carefully detailed that you will think they are real! You also get a full alpha of upper, lower and numbers!

Next is Whisper for $3.00, such a great price for this kit. Soft and delicate. Vintage. Those are words I'd use to describe this kit. If you like the romantic look, have some photos of the kids dressed up in their Easter finest, or know a sweet newborn baby, you need this kit. Outdoor wedding season is coming up. This kit would be perfect for something like that! This kit is amazingly versatile and makes for some stunning pages. The 49 beautiful elements will accommodate many situations that you will want to scrap about and 16 papers!

Plus Whisper Alpha is on sale for $1.00 today. This alpha has a delicate, rustic, elegant look. It's all upper case letters to make your LO titles stand out. Perfectly coordinated with Whisper kit but I'm sure you be able to use it with most kits, so versatile.

Here are a few layouts created by the True North Stars with these kits.

True North Scraps has a new release

The snow is finally starting to melt around here and lately my thoughts have been about our motorcycle that has been parked in the garage all winter.   We have a beautiful oldie - a 1988 Honda Goldwing.  It's a cruiser and basically it is like riding a moving easy chair.  It's so comfortable!  And it's exhilarating to feel the wind on your face and smell the scent of the freshly worked earth as you ride past newly seeded fields.   It's time to take the dust cover off, gas it up and hit the road!  Well... not literally.  We intend to keep the "rubber side down" and enjoy our rides.  Remember to look twice -- you could save a life!  Motorcycles are hard to see and we hate to hear about any crashes involving motorcycles because you know it's not usually going to end up well for the biker(s).

Okay, public service announcement over.  ;)  (But really -- look twice for a motorcycle that may be hard to see!! Thank you.  I really don't want a case of road rash, or worse...)  I had to make this kit because I'm positive I'm not the only bike enthusiast that scraps!

Lookin For Adventure

This kit has 35 elements and 20 papers, all ready for your photographs of your exciting adventures, whether they are on a motorcycle, a scooter, and even (as you will see from the LOs made by the North Stars) child-sized vehicle adventures too!

Also included is a very bright alpha of upper and lower case letters, numbers and many symbols - including the very hard to find tilde (~), £, and € symbols!

Here's a look at the amazing and creative LOs my team made:

I made one too

This kit is selling at SNP and HS for only $5.00, but I'm putting it on sale for 30% off for the week of April 20 - 28.   It will be available at my store at My Memories at a later date. 

The North Stars enjoyed working with this kit and some of them went the extra mile and made some wonderful freebies for you!  Check out these North Stars' blogs and grab 'em!

The difference between a designer who cares (me) and one who doesn't...

Everybody should read this!

This is a pet peeve of mine.   I buy CU products to save some time, not for a make-more-work project for me.  I'm not naming names (so don't email me for the name of this "designer"), but look at this -- I have it at only 200% and look at all the work I am going to have to do before I can use it.  This is only about 10% of the element.   If she zoomed to 200% before she put this in her store, her QC stinks.  If she didn't zoom it to 200% before she put it in her store, her QC stinks.  Does she know about QC? There's no way that she should have sold this product like this.  Her store shouldn't have allowed her to add this product either.  It's obvious that neither of them have QC standards.

That is why you have to be so careful when you buy your scrapping supplies, whether they are PU or CU.  There are designers who are extremely picky about what gets put in their store (like ME!).  I always keep it in the back of my mind when I am making any product that if you buy it, you plan to use it to preserve a memory that is precious to you.  I will not mess up your photo book by having sloppy elements or blurry papers.  I take that VERY seriously and if you EVER find something in one of my kits that you are not happy with, please contact me and I WILL make it right for you.  Some designers are not so discerning and could care less, just give 'em your money and they are happy.

Ok, I better run.  I have some eraser work to do now...

New Release from TNS!

Do You Believe in Fairies?

This pixie dusted kit is a rework of a kit I released about a year ago in my first store.   Why did I redo this kit?  Well, it's a favourite kit of mine and I wanted to release it in my current stores, but I've learned so much about designing in the past year that I wanted up update it to my current higher standards first. I changed elements I wasn't happy with, took some elements out that I couldn't upgrade, and added some new elements to this kit.

It's also a lot bigger than last year.  I combined the old kit with the add-on I had made, and turned it into a mega kit with over 70 elements and 34 papers.  Not shown in the preview above, is a full sparkly green  alpha that is also now included in the kit!

Do You Believe in Fairies is available at Scraps N Pieces and Heritage Scrap.  It's on sale for 30% off until April 18th.

My creative team loves this kit!  Look at the fantastic LOs they made with it:

They didn't stop there!  They have some freebies for you!  Hop on over to the blogs of these North Stars to collect your gifts:

Three Releases from True North Scraps

What a busy busy day today is!  Besides being Easter Monday, and April Fool's Day, it is also release day for True North Scraps.  And what a day of releases it is.  No foolin'!

First of all, I'm doing a little switcheroo.  I put Stormy in my store at Scraps N Pieces this month, and Fresh as a Daisy is finally available at my Heritage Scrap store, making them both available in both my stores now.

Both of these kits are $5.00, but for this week only, they are 30% off!  And just to make things fair, they are on sale at both of my stores!

There's also another kit releasing today:

Softly Comes Spring

This kit was inspired by the colour palette.  I just fell in love with the colours and let them take me where they wanted.  The result is a non-traditionally coloured spring kit that will amaze you with its versatility.

There are 40 elements and 15 papers as well as a full alpha of uppercase, lowercase and numbers.

I have to show you the beautiful LOs that my team made with Softly Comes Spring
