This week, True North Scraps has some great things in the Super Saturday bin at Scraps N Pieces.
Does seeing that New Orleans/Princess and the Frog inspired kit get you excited for Mardi Gras? I hope so, since Fat Tuesday is only a few short days away. I have a layout to inspire you.
And a freebie from me. Click here or the preview to download. I hope you like it.
Have a great weekend!
Today, I am sharing a fabulous Disney inspired kit by Magicals Scraps Galore. Most Magical Place is full of bright colors and is perfect for scrapping the most magical place on earth. Of course, with the balloons and banners, you could totally rock a birthday or any occasion layout as well. I’ve had this kit on my wish list since Marina of Magical Scrap Galore released it. I was so happy to have the chance to work with it this month as part of my store CT duties.
I scrapped two layouts from our Disney cruise vacation. These photos were taken almost exactly one year ago and now I finally have them scrapped.
SNP has a lot of fun challenges. This second layout was a scraplift for the January Scraplift Challenge. Janette didn’t know what to think of the cast member with the big orange character hand.

I have a little freebie for you too. It’s a cluster. Both shadowed and unshadowed versions are included. Click here or the preview to download.
I hope you’re having an awesome weekend.
It’s Grab-a-Byte time at Scrapbookbytes. Word Art World has six packs you can pick up for $1 each. She came up with a fun museum theme and it is totally adorable, especially since I love to visit museums when we travel.
I have two fun coordinating layouts to share with you using A Day at the Museum. They contain photos from our trip to Chicago back in 2005. We spent a day at the Museum of Science and Industry. I took 80 photos that day and now I have scrapped 8 of them. James and I really enjoyed it and it is definitely a museum I want to visit again some day.

Have a great week!
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.

Have a great day!
July 1st is Canada’s birthday and we want to celebrate it with a new 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!
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?
I would like to show off the layouts I made using True Patriot Love. The first is a two-page spread for the Canadian Rockies album I’m making for my parents. This will be the first two pages for the album and even though I’m almost finished, I needed to go back to the beginning. I either needed to make a page 4 pictureless layout, so there wouldn’t be an empty spot due to the next two pages needing to be side by side, or combine the first three layouts into two. I decided to combine. I really like how it turned out and I was able to incorporate the fun Vancouver Then and Now article from their Rocky Mountaineer Mile Post Newspaper.
Here’s a close-up of both the left and right sides.

These next two layouts are from a trip James and I took for a little getaway as he had to make a trip to Rochester for work and I arrived at the end of his work days. The first one will be the cover page of the album. I have so many vacation albums that just have a few pages done, who knows when I’ll finish this one.

Quote: A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. – Marianne Williamson Journaling on this one reads: “The tulips in Queen Victoria Park near the Maid of the Mist ticket booth were gorgeous. After stopping to take a few photos, we walked leisurely through Clifton Hill, trying to decide where to stop for lunch. We saw the sign for Crepe de licious and decided to check out their menu as we became fans of savoury crepes when vacationing in Tahiti. We ended up staying and James had a Cordon Bleu crepe while I had a Chicken Caesar crepe. We then walked back to our hotel to hop in our rental car to drive north to Niagara-on-the-Lake.”
