Boo’s Crews

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Jennifer

Did I scare you! Well the leaves are starting to change in different parts of North America, and the air is getting cooler. It’s October and Fall is definitely here! In Canada, we will be gathering with family and friends to give our thanks on October 14th Thanksgiving day and before you know it Halloween will be here! True North Scraps has come up with a spooky mega kit to help you get prepared for this fun time called Boo’s Crews!

These guys are too cute to scare anybody! Little Boo and his parents are Trick or Treating with an adorable crew of friends. This kit is jammed full of elements and papers, in fact this may be the largest kit yet. You’ll find 80 elements including some humorously haunted flowers and tombstones. On top of that, there is a full spooky alpha and 48, yes, 48 papers, including glitters and solid cardstocks! This mega kit is a huge value at $7 but right now you can get this Mega kit for 30% off until Oct 12. Making it a fantastic treat at $4.90. Take a look at everything you get with this spooktacular kit.

Plus it comes with 3 frightfully fun Word Arts.

Here is the two-page layout I made using this fun kit.

Capture Memories

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Jennifer

Bits N Pieces for October is all about preserving memories. The color scheme is perfect for old photos, but classic enough for current photos too. You can use it to scrap anything from heritage layouts to travel layouts, all the way to baby and wedding layouts. Queen Wild Scraps has three packs you can pick up for $1 each today through October 7th.QWS_CM_elementpreviewweb

Treasures

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Jennifer

I’m here to tell you about a fun little kit by a designer that is new to Scraps N Pieces, Growing Pains Scrapped. I am becoming more and more of a Disney fanatic and after browsing the Growing Pains Scrapped store, I was quite excited to see a lot of Disney inspired kits. As part of my store CT duties, I decided to work with Treasures, a kit inspired by everyone’s favorite little mermaid. This kit contains multiple versions of the little mermaid, as a mermaid and as a princess. Also included are her sisters, which is perfect for you to scrap your own little mermaid’s adventures.

There are three coordinating packs you can also pick up: cardstock/glitters, flairs, and QPs.

Currently, they are all 50% off as part of Growing Pains Scrapped grand opening. And it’s not just Treasures that is on sale, but her whole store. I’m not sure when the grand opening sale ends, so you’ll want to jump on this great opportunity.

I have two layouts to share that show off the versatility of this kit. They are both Disney layouts, but you might be surprised by the second one. The first is outside the Under the Sea ride/attraction in Fantasyland at Disney World. The second is formal night on our Disney cruise.

At the Pool

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Jennifer

Word Art World recently released a great new word art pack. It is perfect for all those pool photos from the summer.

jaswap_atthepool

I have a two-page layout using three of the word art. I used one for the title, one for a subtitle for the photo of Jason and one as kind of a watermark for the journal mat. These photos are from Labor Day weekend. Journaling reads: Both Saturday and Sunday after naptime (quiet time), we drove to Jason’s house so the kiddos and some of the adults could go swimming. It was really fun to watch all the cousins having a ball splashing and swimming. Cameron really enjoyed using the snorkel mask. Jessica was utilizing her newly acquired swimming skills. Janette just floated about. Trevor had fun jumping into the pool. Aspen thought it quite fun when Aunt Sarah lifted her up in the air and she jumped. Brian only swam on Sunday and he and James had fun tossing two balls simultaneously.

You & Me

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Jennifer

Today is the last day of Gotta Grab It. Word Art World has seven packs you can pick up for $1.00 each.

2013-09-17_GGI_WAWad

I have a layout to share that uses the three paper packs, the element pack and the word art pack. It is of Jessica and her friend Lana from school. I’m not sure of Lana’s mother’s feeling on internet presence so I covered her face with a flower for the blog.

I feel great today after James letting me rest basically all day Sunday. I don’t if it was like a cold or allergies or what, but it knocked me out for two days. I’m so grateful for such a good hubby.
