True North Scraps - SO MUCH NEWS!

I know this isn't a normal TNS release day, but Dawna just HAD to get this in the store as soon as she could.  It's just too cute to hold onto any longer!



This adorable little kit is all about teensy tiny outdoors things.  There are little mice, a gnome, ladybug, a mini picnic tea party, itsy bitsy flowers and much much more!

The best news of all is that this isn't all there is to it!  It started out as a mini kit to offer as the prize for my speed scrap.  But Dawna couldn't stop.  So she ended up breaking the kit into a full-size and a mini kit!

These will be sold individually, and both will be 30% off until April 4th.  They are available in the True North Scraps stores at Heritage Scrap and Scraps N Pieces.

Here's a LO I made using this great kit!

 


I have a couple of things I'd like to remind you about.  First of all...  have you bought my store yet?  The True North Scraps Facebook page has over 1000 likes now and she's  celebrating this milestone until the end of March with my Buy My Store sale.  This is SUCH a good deal!  My Scraps N Pieces store is only $25 for well over $200 worth of product.



In addition, I have her new, smaller store at Heritage Scrap on sale also.  This one is only $10 for over $75 worth of products!  There's one bundle in there that is worth $10 all by itself, and anything else you get over and above that would be free!


On top of that... did you see this fantastic collaboration between Keystone Scraps and True North Scraps that was released a few days ago?


This one is available in so many places!  You can pick it up from either of the TNS stores, Heritage Scrap or Scraps N Pieces; OR you can  grab it from one of Keystone Scraps' stores, Go Digital Scrapbooking or Scraps N Pieces.  Hurry though!  This kit is on sale for 30% off, but that sale ends tonight!

And last but not least...  Help Wanted!!

True North Scraps and Keystone Scraps collab RETRO ROAD TRIP

I don't know about you but this new collab kit from True North and Keystone Scraps has me be-bopping along to the song "Life Is A Highway" in my head!  It makes me want to get out on the open road discovering all of the wonders one can find while travelling the back roads! 

ks-tns_rrt_preview 

Take one look at the unique and fun pieces of this kit, and you'll be reminiscing about license plate bingo, singing songs, and bouncing on the seat in anticipation of that next rest stop! You'll almost be able to hear the kids fighting in the back seat as the wind is whipping through your hair. This kit is chock-full of so many wonderful signs and ellies that will have you longing to pack your car up and take a weekend long drive!

With fun retro colours and just the right textures, this kit will be perfect for helping you create so many layouts about your day trips, weekend getaways and cross country travels. Scrap the whole journey with 70 elements, 38 papers (includes card-stocks!), and a full alpha! Available at 30% off through March 28th at Scraps-N-Pieces, Go Digital Scrapbooking, and at Heritage Scrap!

 Hop into the car and cruise your way through my fun pages made with this kit!  We had a great time on our road trip to Yellowstone last summer, but we were so awe inspired by the majesty of the Grand Tetons.  We stopped so often to take pictures that it took us all day to drive 200 miles!

 
I think I'm ready for another road trip ... like in May or June!

After a cold, hard Winter, Dawna's thoughts are turning to Spring and the knowledge that it's just around the corner.  That's exciting!  What is also exciting is TNS's new Bits N Pieces release at Scraps N Pieces!




 
Fresh as a Daisy

The beautiful greens of this kit remind me of the first little sprouts poking through the dirt, the trees leafing out, grass coming back to life, and just an overall freshness.

The Elements pack has 42 elements including plenty of daisies and there are even a little girl and boy gnome to watch over your LOs.  It is available for the first week of March for only $1.

The Papers pack is also only $1 for the first week of March.  That's a great price for these 15 gorgeous papers!

On March 8th, Dawna will package these together into a kit that will be available for $5.00.

Of course, being a Bits N Pieces kit, this kit coordinates with many others so you can mix and match. Remember the new Bits and Pieces kit Challenge that is dedicated to using this kit.



Here is the LO I made with Fresh as a Daisy - this layout also features True North Scraps WHICHEVER WAY THE WIND BLOWS template pack



And this is what the North Stars did.  Actually there's an extra one in there - it was made by Paula from Keystone Scraps who thought that Dawna's kit was cute enough for her to take the time out of her busy designing schedule to make a LO with it.



Scraps N Pieces has a gorgeous new Designer Collab out this month.  This colors are so pretty and the elements are awesome!  This kit is a vintage Easter kit called Easter Morn.



Remember this kit is 7.99 Quick Pages are 5.99 or Bundle and save for 10.99


SNP also has a FUN FUN CU collab out this month as well.  It is all about the borders.
