poki's photo projects: April 2013

Friday, April 26, 2013

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.

It's that time of year when motorcycles start appearing regularly on the streets and highways. Dawna is an avid biker and can't wait for enough snow to melt for them to take the dust cover off their motorcycle and hit the road! Well... not literally. They intend to keep the 'rubber side down' and enjoy their 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 well for the biker(s).

Dawna knows that she can't possibly be the only scrapper who enjoys riding, so she made this kit for people like her:

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 made by the North Stars:

Here is my layout featuring my cousin Paul and his wife Deb all set to cruise down to HOT SPRINGS for a relaxing weekend last May.

This kit is selling at SNP and HS for only $5.00, but it will be on sale for 30% off for the week of April 20 - 28. It will be available at the True North Scraps 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!

Do You Believe in Fairies?

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

It's also a lot bigger than last year. Dawna combined the old kit with the add-on that she also has redone, 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.

I love this kit! Look at the fantastic LOs I made with it:
