Right now my entire 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.

One day only sale at Mouse Scrappers

TNS and Mouse Scrappers want to celebrate the anniversary of this special day by offering the biggest discount yet on most products in the store … but only for today, Disneyland’s birthday!

Get over there now to grab a bargain.

Smooth Sailing from True North Scraps, a Keystone release, an announcement and more!

I know this is going to be a long post so... bear with me! I'll start with introducing my new release called Smooth Sailing. I am so excited to finally be able to put it in my store because I have been waiting to show it to you for a couple months already.

This kit was made so that you can scrap any cruise photos you may have. Despite it being a "cruise" kit with pirates, formal clothes and of course plenty of ship elements, this is an extremely versatile kit. There's lots of beach and summer-time play themed elements in this kit also. The colours are perfect for patriotic themed LOs as well! I have a coordinating alpha and a pack of 6 coordinating solids too. The solid papers are beautiful - full of depth and details. The alpha has a hint of glitter in it to invoke the perception of the sun glinting off the sea.

I've bundled the whole bunch up so you can save some money if you want to get all three parts.

They are all on sale right now for 30% off the regular price until June 4th. Don't wait too long - Monday is coming soon and then they will all be back to regular price. Look what the MouseScrappers CT made with it:

That's me. Now I have a new release from Keystone Scraps to tell you about.

It's the 1st of June already... and time for a new Bits n Pieces promotion at Scraps-N-Pieces!!

This month's theme is health, wellness, and exercise. All the designers that participated have created a fun assortment of mix and match items!!

Utilizing the health part of the theme, Keystone Scraps has created an adorable collection of elements and papers (plus a matching alpha) to scrap all those boo boo moments of not only your people family, but also your furry family!

Introducing:

Littlest Pet Hospital!

All 3 pieces are available for only $1 each thru June 7th EXCLUSIVELY in the Scraps-N-Pieces Bits&Pieces category! On the 8th, they will be bundled to make a full kit, and will no longer be available in pieces! The element set includes 48 unique elements for your scrapping fun! Medical equipment (syringe, medicine, chart, stethoscope), sick little pets (puppy with a cone, kitty with bandages, birdie with a broken foot and crutches), a doctor and nurse to fix them up, as well as a great assortment of matching basic elements make up this really clever collection! The 16 sheet paper pack is a perfect addition to the whimsical elements, incorporating general patterns as well as patterns based on the element pack. Finally the bottlecap alpha is a terrific addition to any page!

No pets? No problem!!

There are so many fun elements in this set, don't let the 'pet' part fool you!! This adorable collection is perfect for scrapping your little ones playing nurse, or their little boo-boos, or focus on the numerous general ellies and create a colorful page of any theme!!

Take a look at these other items that are also available this week only in the Bits & Pieces category!!

Expand your options by adding some perfectly matching worn papers, glitters, styles, papers or elements!!

Long Weekend BBQ -- new release from True North Scraps!

Just in time for the American long weekend, here's a great kit from me for summertime picnics and barbeques.

It is so versatile that the MouseScrappers CT even came up with a bunch of LOs from Walt Disney World!

I am sure you will find even more uses for it! By now you should know that I didn't stop at the kit. I have a coordinating Alpha and Word Art that are available separately, and I've bundled them all together so you can save some money. PLUS -- the bundle has an exclusive set of 5 extra elements at no extra cost!

It's all on sale until May 28th at 30% off too. I hope you will find a few minutes during your long weekend to go to my store at MouseScrappers and pick it up!
