True North Scraps - New Month - New Kits!

Today is October second!!  Already?!!  Well, there's a lot to be excited about with October being here:

First of all -- the beginning of a month means it's Bits N Pieces time at Scraps N Pieces!  This month the designers of Scraps N Pieces went with a very brightly coloured animal theme.  Dawna decided that it was the perfect time for me to make a stickers kit:

She also has coordinating papers available:

And sometimes you want to have card stocks, so happy birthday!  (Even if it isn't your birthday)

The textures in this kit are phenomenal.  Dawna took a lot of care to ensure that every element, every paper will knock your socks off when you examine their detail.  As with every BNP product, each piece is selling for $1 -- but only for the first week of October.  After that, they will be bundled up into a kit for $5.99 (but they will still be eligible for the SNP anniversary progressive sale price).

The North Stars worked diligently to show you many ways to use this kit:

There's more to tell you about though!  TNS has been working very hard the last few weeks to bring you an amazing and unusual kit!  

This exquisite kit is done with the rich colours of Autumn, however, there's a twist -- it's a little bit steampunk, it's a little bit old fashioned, a little bit rustic and a little bit elegant. It's definitely unique and therefore no titile other than Antiquities and Curiosities could describe this kit better. It's a very easy-to-work-with kit and is so versatile. The North Stars had a lot of fun playing with it.

There are 14 papers with such wonderful depth and texture. There are also 28 unique elements - and unique is almost an understatement!  It's on sale in the True North Scraps store now -- Regular price is $4.99, but it is also eligible for the progressive sale.  And here's some even better news....  It is the "Free With $10 Purchase" kit at SNP for the first 2 weeks in October.  So spend $10 on some great kits, and receive this beauty for free!

Dawna didn't forget about the alpha either. The bottle cap base is grungy yet classic, the font is vintage yet trendy. There is a full alpha of upper and lower case letters and the numbers 0-9 and many popular punctuation symbols. Your LOs made with Antiquities and Curiosities will not be complete until you make the page title with this alpha!

It is on sale 50% off the first week in October, 40% off the second week, 30% off the third week, and finally 20% off the last week of the month. So you have plenty of time to pick up this incredible kit all month long at different discounts.

Have a great week and happy scrapping!

Scary Tales Vol 1 by True North Scraps

Well, I'm still on the fairy tale kick, so I bringing you another kit about fairy tales.  I love the colors on this kit, and the cute elements.  Here is what the kit is about.  Step-parents sometimes get a very bad reputation.  It's probably due to this particular evil step--mother and her girls.  They are always overshadowed by their famous and popular princess nemesis and are terribly jealous. How dare Cinderella take the limelight away!  Finally - Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drisella get the recognition they deserve! There's 41 highly detailed elements and 16 richly patterned papers.  Also included is a regal golden alpha of upper and lower case letters, numbers 0-9 and some punctuation.

Anyway, here is the preview.  If you click on it, it will take you to her store.

Here is a layout I did with this kit.  Once again it was for the sketch class at Feeling Scrappy.  This sketch is by Stacy Curry.

 

Fairy Tales and Myths - Karen Diamond Designs

I think as kids we all believed in fairy tales.  At least I did, and I guess I would say I still do.  Anyway, Karen Diamond Designs has a kit I just picked up this week that I love.  The kit is so pretty.  It has beautiful paper, and the elements are some of the most unique I've seen.  With the bundle you also get all kinds of different styles to use on your layouts.  Here is a preview.  You can pick it up in her store here.

Here are my layouts using this kit!

This one I did for my sketch class at Feeling Scrappy.  The sketch was by Jayne Jones.
