Henriett has two layouts. This first one uses one of her favorite kits, Smooth Sailing. I like how she put a photo as the background paper. Too cute.

Queen Lahni loved these templates so much, she made two layouts for the release post. I love her paint sprays behind the photo and two toned title work in the first one.

Pray for Haley Charity Collab

Posted on by

For most of us, childhood days are seen as a carefree and joyous time. It’s time to run, play, and hang out with friend – to grow up and find our place in the world. Unfortunately, not every child is given the same opportunities. Pray for Haley is collaboration kit made by some of the finest artists in the digital scrap-booking community to help a young girl in need. Haley was recently diagnosed with bone cancer and is missing the current school year because of her treatments. Her strong will and determination has allowed her to keep up with her school work and she looks forward to the day she can return to the classroom and her friends. The profits from Pray for Haley will be given to this courageous girl and her family to help with mounting medical costs. When the time comes to scrap all the joyous moments in the young person in your life this kit will offer you a multitude of options for beautiful scrap book pages as well as help a young girl in need.

You can purchase the kit as separate pieces if you feel like you can only donate a little bit, as a Big Bundle, and for the greatest savings, we also have a Mega Bundle option to get everything.  Please click on slideshow below to go to the store and help this little girl in need.

Featured SNP Designer Aug 16-31: True North Scraps

Posted on by

I’m so excited to announce that True North Scraps is the Featured Designer at Scraps N Pieces from August 16 – 31!

This is going to be so much fun!

Turtle Scraps:  Every couple of days, early in the morning, a set of 7 instructions will be posted.  You will have until 6 am CST the following day to post your LO in the True North Scraps gallery at Scraps N Pieces.  The reason we’re holding Turtle Scraps is so that my friends from  Europe, Asia and Down Under can play along too.  Chats may be held any time during the day though, so watch for the schedule that will be posted at Scraps N Pieces and on my Facebook Page.  Chats are optional events, but you never know when the RAK Fairy might show up…  Every Turtle Scrap you complete within the time limit will earn you a piece of my kit called Sunday Afternoon!

If you can’t collect the whole thing, “Sunday Afternoon” will go in all of the TNS stores on September 1st.

Bingos:  We’ll be holding a few bingo games during the 2 weeks Dawna is featured designer.  You will be given a list of words to choose and you make your own bingo card.  Bingo cards must be completed and submitted one full day prior to the scheduled bingo game.  Bingo will be played during a chat.  The RAK Fairy may be attending those games!

Treasure Hunt:  On August 16th, look for an image with some easily identifiable pieces of various kits in True North Scrap’s store.  PM your answers to Dawna before the end of the month and if you are correct, you will earn a 25% coupon to her store!

Group Hug:  Another super-easy way to earn valuable savings!  For every 5 comments you post in the True North Scraps gallery, you will earn 5% off a purchase in TNS SNP store.  You can collect up to a maximum 50% off!

If you participate in the Treasure Hunt and Group Hug, you can potentially earn a coupon worth 75% off one purchase of TNS products at Scraps N Pieces!  Coupons will accumulate throughout the featured designer time and one coupon for the full prize amount that you earned will be awarded by September 5, 2013.

Midnight Madness:  Every Friday night at midnight in August (Aug 16, 23, and 30th), Dawna will put her Scraps N Pieces store on sale for 24 hours for 60% off all regular priced products.

Now that I’ve explained all that, are you excited for August 16th to come?!!  I sure am!

A Summer to Remember

It’s Gotta Grab It time at Gotta Pixel. Word Art World has three adorable pieces.

I really wanted to use some of the fun summer wordart and it took me a while to find photos that I wanted to use. I went back to 2010. That’s Jessica in the photos. Outside of the bright green grass, I felt the other colors really complemented the pretty pastels. I’m really glad James takes the camera from me every so often, so that I can be in the photos too. I also really appreciate his input. For instance, I had narrowed my background paper to three choices for this layout and he chose the one you see.

It’s tax free weekend in Texas. Are you shopping for school supplies and clothes?

Heat Wave

Posted on by

August days are usually so hot and muggy and the kids are at that stage where they are bored being out of school.  So what do you do with them?  Take them to the water park!

This kit is so refreshing just looking at the fountain and the ice pops and all the water droplets spraying around and it’s in such classic summer colors.   It started out as a Bits N Pieces kit for Scraps N Pieces, but I’ve bundled it up now and it’s only $5.00.

You get 32 elements, 12 papers and an adorable teeny alpha jam-packed with uppercase, lowercase, numbers and many punctuation marks!

One lucky person who reads this True North Scraps’ blog will win this kit!  Just leave a comment about what your favorite “keep cool” summer activity is.  Dawna will randomly choose a winner from the comments on Friday at 7:30 a.m. CST. Good luck!

I made a layout about some fun we had at a splash pad recently.  Journaling reads: “After Jessica’s swim lesson, we headed to the Hill Country Galleria to play at the splash pad. Since it was a MOPS playdate, I had a chance to chat with Lori Sonnier while the girls got to play with Lori’s three boys (the youngest is just a few weeks older than Jessica). Unfortunately, since we had arrived late, we missed seeing Michelle Elley, Kristal Cohle, and Ann Marie Mosher and their kids. After splashing around, we dried off and walked to Which Wich for lunch.”
