New Patriotic Collaboration Release

July 1st is Canada's birthday and we want to celebrate it! We love Canada and we love our kit,

True Patriot Love!

This is a gigantic collaboration that was contributed to by the four Canadian designers at Scraps N Pieces: Marie H Designs, Mommy Made This, Queen Wild Scraps, and True North Scraps. This is probably one of the best collabs I have ever seen in my life!

Wait? Are you saying you aren't Canadian, so why should you be interested? Be interested my friend. You still need this kit! We used colours appropriate for other nationalities to show their pride as well. We have even included some stars to match the American flag. And what about that vacation you took to Canada last summer? Or your trip to Epcot's Canada Pavilion in Walt Disney World? We have you covered!

When you see what our Creative Teams have done with this kit, most of whom are not Canadian, you will agree that no matter what your nationality is ... you need this kit!

What's included that is so amazing, you are wondering? WELL!

90 absolutely fabulous elements

36 beautiful patterned papers

7 very rich cardstocks

7 glitter papers

2, yes 2! full unique alphas

a full 4 pack of templates in .png, .psd, .tiff, .page and .pack formats

6 great journaling cards

a fantastic map of Canada and all the provinces and territories

patriotic word arts

beautiful clusters

Whew! Told ya it was big!

Despite it's enormous size, we have kept it very affordable. Can you believe you get all that for only $9.99?!! On top of that already amazingly low price, we have discounted it further for its first week in stores, by an additional 30%! Where are you going to find a bargain like this again?

The 14 patterned papers, 5 glitter papers and 5 solid papers are a perfect complement to the elements and they will make your LOs exude class. As a bonus with purchase, I've included the LBD (Li'l Black Dress) alpha for free, a $2.99 value. You can also pickup the elegant mini 5 Shades of Gray Add On.

Next up is Whisper, Whisper Reverse Papers Add on, Card stock and Alpha. Soft and delicate. Vintage. Those are words Dawna used to describe this kit.

This kit would be perfect for something like that!

The next kit is Fresh As A Daisy. Don't the beautiful greens of this kit remind you of the first little sprouts poking through the dirt, the trees leafing out, grass coming back to life, and just an overall freshness. This kit has 42 elements including plenty of daisies and there are even an adorable little girl and boy gnome to watch over your LOs. With gorgeous papers are so fresh and outdoorsy. You will have trouble deciding which ones you want to use first.
