LOTS of news @ True North Scraps !!!

There is so much happening at True North Scraps, so grab a cup of coffee or whatever your beverage of choice is and settle in for a bit while you read this! First of all, today is the last day that the TNS MouseScrappers store is open. This is your last chance to pick up several kits that are MouseScrappers exclusives!

Some of these kits will be retired after TNS closes her MS store, others will be revamped at a much later date and won't be available for quite some time. Right now the entire True North Scraps MouseScrappers store is on sale for 50% off until it closes. Don't miss your chance to get these exclusive kits at a great price before they are gone forever.

Next news is the new TNS release! Dawna has made a bright and cheery paper pack and an adorable alphabet that is perfect for LOs about young children. Look for it exclusively at her Scraps N Pieces store in the Bits N Pieces promotion for only $1 each for the first week of September!

Dawna put together a short slideshow of some of the LOs the talented North Stars made using just the papers and the alphabet blocks:

 

Tomorrow is the first of September which means it is Super Saturday at Scraps N Pieces! Don't miss the big savings! True North Scraps has 3 products in the sale: Pick up one of Dawna's clever Dated and Stapled packs. Both are only $1 on September 1st!

Also available for a ridiculously low price tomorrow is the very popular Move It Move It, on sale for $2 only on Super Saturday.

Scrap It to Win It is just around the corner! Have you signed up yet? You must be signed up by Sept 1 or you can't play, and let me tell you, the prizes are amazing so you definitely want to play! True North Scraps is one of several SNP designers donating prizes to this contest.

And finally, Dawna's two weeks as the featured designer at Scraps and Pieces has drawn to a close. Today is your last day to get all your tasks wrapped up. Tomorrow Dawna will be adding up all the points and choosing the winner of the lottery and will get those prizes out as soon as humanly possible. A recap of the tasks/games:

Surprises: You just never know.... oh what the heck! I'll let the cat out of the bag! Several people have opened their private message inboxes at Scraps N Pieces to find a surprise -- One of the North Stars randomly sent a coupon to some of the people that have posted LOs in the TNS gallery. A couple more lucky people who have uploaded LOs to the TNS gallery, are still going to find a surprise RAK in their inboxes, so make sure you have uploaded there!

One last surprise - if you have been playing along with the Featured Designer games, hopefully one of the tasks you completed was to sign up for the True North Scraps Newsletter. If you were signed up before 4 pm Eastern yesterday, you will find a newsletter exclusive freebie in yesterday's newsletter! I hope you didn't miss out!

 Whew. My fingers are tired from typing all that out! However, I want to mention a couple more things. "Like" True North Scraps on Facebook and then keep your eyes open for a new exclusive FB freebie, available soon! And finally, there is a big announcement to make soon so make sure you are subscribed to my blog or the newsletter so you don't miss it!

True North Scraps news !!!!!

True North Scraps is Scraps N Pieces Featured Designer from August 16 to the 31st!  You don't want to miss this - there is going to be a template challenge, everybody who buys something from TNS between Aug 16 and Aug 31 is entered for a chance to win $10, you can earn freebies just for doing very simple tasks, and there may be some surprises too! 

Do you hear that …. the faint sound of a train whistle in the background? The rumble of the cars coming down the track? Chug on over to see what True North Scraps and Keystone Scraps have teamed up to bring to you this week.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

This collaboration is a must have to showcase pages of that magical train ride or even one of those clunky ones in the shopping mall. The rich color palette catches your eye and the array of elements will find you wanting to create beautiful clusters or tons of layout pages. Either way it's a win-win right?

Dawna has packed in 47 elements and 17 papers as well as an adorable train alpha into her portion of the kit. Paula has over 70 elements and 28 papers and two alphas. You will find one alpha offered to download for free at her site this week, after that it will only be available as part of the kit purchase. Between the 2 kits, you get way over 100 elements and 45 papers... that is quite a kit! Oh yeah, and don't forget those three alphas to complete this classic styled collaboration. Who wouldn't want to hop on that train?

Both of these kits are on sale but only for a limited time. True North Scraps has this kit on sale at Scraps N Pieces at 30% off this weekend. The portion from Keystone Scraps is available at both Scraps N Pieces and Stuff To Scrap at 30% off but for the weekend ONLY as well! Be sure to not delay and pick up these beautiful kits before the sale price pulls out of the station.

And if just by seeing the kit you aren't already inspired by what you can create … take a look at what I have done with it.

Also the girls have made some freebies for you to enjoy … be sure to visit the following blogs to pick up their generous offers.

I leave you with one last thing … a poem called:

“Pleasant Travels Through Life” … author unknown

Life is but a journey on a train, With a pair of travelers at each windowpane. I may sit beside you the whole journey through, Or I may be seated elsewhere, never knowing you. But if fate should mark me to sit at your side, Let's be pleasant travelers, it's so short a ride.
