True Patriot Love

July 1st is Canada's birthday and True North Scraps, Queen Wild Scraps, Marie H. Designs, and Mommy Made This want to celebrate it!  They love Canada and I love their kit,

True Patriot Love!

This is a gigantic collaboration that was contributed to by the four Canadian designers at Scraps N Pieces.  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!  The gals used colours appropriate for other nationalities to show their pride as well.  They 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?  They have you covered!

When you see what their 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!

90 absolutely fabulous elements

36 beautiful patterned papers

7 very rich cardstocks

7 glitter papers

2, yes 2! full unique alphas

a full 4 pack of templates in .png, .psd, .tiff, .page and .pack formats

6 great journaling cards

a fantastic map of Canada and all the provinces and territories

patriotic word arts

beautiful clusters

Whew!  Told ya it was big!

Despite it's enormous size, they have kept it very affordable.  Can you believe you get all that for only $9.99?!! On top of that already amazingly low price, they 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 LOs I made using True Patriot Love:

Sassifrass

Everyone needs a little attitude every now and then.  The perfect amount of sass and sizzle is what you'll find in this kit from Wendy Tunison Designs called Sassifrass.  The bright, bold colors make this fun for girls of any age.  From a night on the town to dress up in mommy's high heels, Wendy's got you covered.  The fun word art pieces will have you smiling and chanting, "You go, girl!" as you're scrapping those girl power moments!  Sassifrass is 30% off during it's introductory week!

Serious Soccer and Friendship

Brooke's family LOVES soccer, which is why she jumped at the chance to make a soccer kit with Real Salt Lake colors- requested by one of her awesome CT members and friend, Joni.  But a soccer kit with red, yellow, and blue will only take you so far if you have kids on a rec league, so she went a little further and made half the kit neutral colors so you can use the kit to scrap ANY photo!  What's more?  There's also a Cardstock and Glitter Pack featuring 20 colors chosen from MLS uniforms as well as Soccer One uniform colors, which stretches this kit to the limits of imagination!  Ladies and Gents, I give you Serious Soccer, perfect for the RSL Fan as well as all Soccer Fanatics!!  Available at SNP and My Memories.

Cardstocks and Glitters Pack- sold separately:

Both the kit and the Paper Pack are on sale for 50% off through the 19th, so don't wait to snatch up this awesome kit!!

True North Scraps' Clip Show

True North Scraps does not have a new release for you this week but I'd love to show you the gorgeous layouts the North Stars have been working on recently.

First on the Clip Show is 5 Shades of Gray, Add On and Li'l Black Dress Alpha. There are 41 glittery, shiny and classic elements inside this kit. The 14 patterned papers, 5 glitter papers and 5 solid papers are a perfect complement to the elements and they will make your LOs exude class. As a bonus with purchase, I've included the LBD (Li'l Black Dress) alpha for free, a $2.99 value. You can also pickup the elegant mini 5 Shades of Gray Add On.

Here are a couple of layouts from North Star Robin.

Next up is Whisper, Whisper Reverse Papers Add on, Card stock and Alpha. Soft and delicate. Vintage. Those are words Dawna used to describe this kit. If you like the romantic look, have some photos of the kids dressed up in their Easter finest, or know a sweet newborn baby, you need this kit. Outdoor wedding season is coming up. This kit would be perfect for something like that! 

Here's a few from North Star Tina.

The next kit is Fresh As A Daisy. Don't the beautiful greens of this kit remind you of the first little sprouts poking through the dirt, the trees leafing out, grass coming back to life, and just an overall freshness? This kit has 42 elements including plenty of daisies and there are even an adorable little girl and boy gnome to watch over your LOs. With gorgeous papers are so fresh and outdoorsy, you will have trouble deciding which ones you want to use first.

North Star poki create a few layouts for us too!

True North Scraps and Keystone Scraps got together to create this beautiful Retro Road Trip kit. With fun retro colors and just the right textures, this kit will be perfect for helping you create so many layouts about your day trips, weekend getaways and cross country travels. Scrap the whole journey with 70 elements, 38 papers (includes cardstocks!), and a full alpha!

Here's a layout by North Star Debbie using Retro Road trip.

Plus I found a few by North Star Karrie. 

Here's a kit that had just recently be released called Blossoms of My Heart. This is a lovely feminine kit. Did you take your mother out for Mother's Day? This kit will be perfect for scrapping those photos. With 40 gorgeous elements in such pretty shades of pinks and purples, with a hint of green and yellow thrown in for good measure. It's heavy on flowers, but that's what makes it such a great feminine kit. It comes with 16 papers including 4 glitter sheets! As well, there's a cute alpha in this kit. If you love papers, Dawna has created an extra pack of papers you can also get, called Blossoms Of My Heart Swiss Dot Papers.

Here's one from North Star Kandi.

Plus I also found a few from North Star Jennifer.

The last kit to talk about is Smooth Sailing. This huge nautical kit is the perfect colours for scrapping a Disney Cruise Line vacation, but you will find that it works well for so many summer or vacation photos. There's a sandy beach, relaxation and play elements too.  So even if you have never sailed on an ocean cruise, but you have been to the shore, this kit is for you! Inside you will find 22 beautifully textured papers and 47 highly detailed elements. Also included is a cute alpha with just a hint of glitter that will remind you of the sunlight glinting off the water. It has a full upper and lower case alpha, the numbers 0-9 and some punctuation.

Here's North Star Lynn's layout using Smooth Sailing.

I hope you enjoyed the North Stars Clip Show of our favorite True North Scraps kits. Be sure to check back very soon for Dawna's next release. Have a great week!
