Scraps N Pieces August Blog Train

Howdy!  It's been a long time since I've participated in a blog train.  It's pretty exciting to be involved this month.

I'm having a very bad week, health-wise, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet and directly to the point.

My contribution to the blog train is this mini kit of 5 elements and 3 papers:

Super Saturday Sale and 50% off everything else at SNP

Summer vacation on Doctor's orders!  I've had a reality check recently.  It's no secret I've been having some health issues lately.  Earlier this month I spent the better part of 2 days in the ER and things got real.  I have had so many blood tests since then, and there's more in my future because they don't know what's wrong yet.  My Dr told me that it's time to stop working and to reduce my stress and activity for a couple months.

Since I won't be putting out anything new over the summer, I thought I'd give you a gift before I leave.  I hope you like it:

The coupon will work on everything in my store except Super Saturday Sale products today.

Spring Up for $2 Tuesday

$2.00 Tuesday deal at Go Digital Scrapbooking is Spring up! 

It's been a long, hard Winter this year and I know we are all sick and tired of snow and cold weather.  I just had to make a kit suitable for those photos of the first green shoots peeking through the holes in the snow.  The bright yellow, orange and green color palette makes this such a cheerful kit. It's perfect for St Patrick's Day celebrations - look at that cute little shamrock smiling away in the preview. But this kit is suitable for any LO that needs a dose of sweetness.  I have an adorable lion and lamb, a happy little caterpillar and a robin ready to welcome Spring, as well as flowers, leaves, and an assortment of useful elements to make your pages perfect.  I made 24 papers and 56 elements as well as an alpha of Uppercase, Lowercase, Numbers and Punctuation in two different color ways.

Spring up!  $2.00

Check out these layouts the True North Stars made using Spring Up!

iNSD Weekend!

It's started everybody!  Even though it's Thursday, a lot of stores and designers decided to start the weekend early and so…

Happy {inter}National Scrapbook Day Extra-Long Weekend!!

I was really strapped for time prior to this weekend thanks to my recovery from my winter ailments and a visit from my daughter who lives in Vancouver and we haven't seen for nearly a year, so I had to be realistic and choose which activities I will be taking part in, which quite frankly is pretty limited.  However, health and family come first, so here's where you will find True North Scraps over the weekend:

Midnight Madness Sale!

I'm getting excited about NSD coming up so quickly.  I started thinking why wait?!  So I am having a pre-NSD Midnight Madness Sale.

Scraps-N-Pieces, GoDigital Scrapbooking and Heritage Scraps.

Hang on though -- since I'm the boss I get to change my mind randomly.  That's when I started thinking that's 24 hours away still...  let's start the madness now!  So I've set my stores on sale already!  

GDS Daily Download April 27th

Hi it's Dawna from True North Scraps and today it's my turn to offer the Daily Download! April's Mixology is very bright and cheerful and I tell you I really need that -- looking out my window right now the lawn across the street is white with snow. Again. I'm not sure we will get spring this year; I think we're going to go straight to summer! That is why I chose to use my parts of Spring Sentiments to make your Daily Download:

All those pieces are still only $1.20 each, so you might want to pick them up soon before the Mixology price ends!

Here are a couple of LOs made by my wonderful CT, using my packs for Spring Sentiment

And finally, here is your Daily Download:

Love is Patient

A new release from True North Scraps

Love is Patient

This very pretty kit is full of affection!  There are plenty of hearts, Cupid, a love bug as well as many other beautiful elements, making a total of 50 elements.  The papers consist of 6 plain cardstocks and 18 very pretty patterned papers.  I have included a full alpha with numbers, uppercase, lowercase and some punctuation.

Additionally, for those of us who find time at a premium or might be in a creative slump, I have some quick pages available separately.  Just add photos, maybe an extra few elements and a title made with the alpha from the kit and you are finished super-fast!

The kit and the quick pages are available at all three of my stores -- Scraps N Pieces, GoDigital Scrapbooking and Heritage Scrap.  And you can get them on sale for 30% off until March 10th.

Do you check the TOUs of designers when you download their kits?  Sometimes it's worthwhile… just sayin'…  ;)

This kit is so pretty and easy to work with, but just in case you need a little inspiration, take a look at these fantastic LOs made by the North Stars
