Posted on by

Yesterday, Dawna will celebrate her 28th wedding anniversary with her fabulous husband.  Then on October 14th, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving.  What does this mean for True North Scraps?  It means one BIG sale!!

Everything in the True North Scraps stores at Scraps N Pieces and Heritage Scrap are on sale for 28% off from Thursday October 10 until Tuesday October 15th!  This is a great chance to pick up a kit you’ve had your eye on for a while, or one of the kits that have just been recently added to the stores.

I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! I just finished making the homemade marshmallow fondant for the castle birthday cakes I’m making for my girls’ combined birthday party next Saturday. It was so easy.

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.

Grease is the Word

Posted on by

Woohoo!  A “boy” kit!!  I know they are not easy to find in digi-world.  So you should get excited over this one:

The word cute doesn’t do this kit justice!  I love the happy mechanics and check out that tow truck.

There are a total of 34 elements and 20 papers, plus an uppercase and lowercase alpha that includes punctuation.  For the month of September it is exclusively available at Scraps N Pieces.

Here’s a layout I made using this fun kit. Journaling reads: I’ve always loved taking photos, but since having kids, I am constantly taking pictures. The Canon Powershot S3 IS camera that we had purchased back in fall 2006 broke in October. It had just gotten bumped by me and left within arms reach of the girls too many times.. The last bump/fall caused the lens to get stuck and not go in or out. After I received a new camera for Christmas from my parents, James decided to see if he could fix the old one. He got it all taken apart and even if he had been able to fix the problem, I’m not sure he would have been able to put it all back together. There were so many tiny screws.

We ended up taking Jessica to her pediatrician’s walk-in Saturday morning clinic hours yesterday. She has walking pneumonia. Hopefully, with antibiotics, she kicks it quickly.
