What Time is the 3 o'clock Parade???

Not only does Disney know how to host a great holiday party, they also know how to put on an amazing parade. There are so many fabulous parades to see at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. It all starts with staking out that perfect viewing spot -- one with a great angle for taking photos, one in the shade on a hot sunny day, or one where your kids can run around to pass the time waiting. There's so much excitement in the air when the parade starts and you peek down the road and see the first float coming your way. You gotta take tons of photos during the parade. And then you'll need a kit to scrap all those photos. Kelly's so excited to introduce a new parade themed kit today called....

DON'T YA LOVE A PARADE?

This kit is just bursting with color and lively elements. There's confetti, swirls, star bursts, balloons and sparkles along with some journal tags, stitching and gorgeous layered flowers. The 15 papers are full of fun patterns and colors that will make you smile! Check out this set of 5 word art titles. They'll add some excitement of your layout.


A new part of this kit's collection is a set of 4 clustered paper stacks. How gorgeous! Start with one of these papers as your base and your page is off to a good start!


Next you can layer on some page starter borders and frames. Look at all the color and fun just bursting out here!


Kelly's newest releases are on sale for 25% off until midnight Sunday so make sure you grab these at Kellybell Designs Store.

With the paper stacks, page starters, and word art, it's so easy and quick to put together a fabulous parade layout with festive colors. Take a look at what I created.

I used a participation prize during the Mousescrappers Speed Scrap Marathon from Cindy Schneider.
Doesn't the red Mickey head just make the LO pop?? The colors are fabulous in this kit!!

There's a parade of freebies to present to you from Kelly's Creative Team. Stake out your spot first at Jenn's Blog, round the corner to get to Roxana's Blog, and the parade will end at Sarah's Blog. You'll be picking up a border freebie, frame cluster and Quick Page. Follow the parade and leave some love for the gals along the way. Then go shopping at Kellybell Designs Store and grab this beautiful parade collection.
Thanks for stopping by and have a magical day!!

Vintage Mickey...Simply Goregous!!

Scrapbooking is all about preserving your memories and making the photos and the pages last forever. Isn't it funny that sometimes we want to to take perfectly good photographs and make them look vintage? And take papers and make them look distressed or wrinkled. Why? Because the vintage look is absolutely gorgeous!! Today, Kelly is combining her love for Mickey Mouse with a spectacular vintage feel.
Introducing....


'Vintage Mickey' is a fabulous collection of 15 distressed papers and vintage textures in classic Disney colors of black, red and cream. Inside the kit you'll find 3 word art strips, 2 flairs, tape strip, stitching, old fashioned camera, wax seals, banner, flourishes and more. There's a red alpha framed in black that is just stunning! This kit is fabulous for scrapping your photos of Mickey from Epcot's Character Spot, Chef Mickeys, or Magic Kingdom. I know I certainly have tons of photos of Mickey so it's nice to have a variety of kits to choose from for scrapping character layouts.

Take a look at these clustered Page Starters. It's a gorgeous collection of borders, frames and clusters.


You'll find all of Kelly's kits at Kellybell Designs Store. These 2 new releases are 25% off this weekend only.

This vintage kit has so many scrapping possibilities. I felt the colors in this kit were perfect for our Christmas dinner photos from Mickey's Backyard BBQ at Fort Wilderness Resort. Here's my page...What do you think???

page 2

If you're looking for traditional Disney colors, you might also like Kelly's 'I Love That Mouse'. You can try combining both the vintage and the classic look in your layouts.

It's the Year of the Dragon and Keystone Scraps has the perfect scrapbooking kit!!

This is the year of the dragon! The dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac, and is considered to be very lucky! Chinese couples try to have babies born under this sign, because people born in the Year of the Dragon are said to have strong personalities, and be ambitious, and self-assured. Parents hope to see their children married under this sign as well since the dragon is the luckiest and most auspicious of all the animal signs. Keystone is wishing you the best of luck this year as well, and created a new Asian inspired kit for your Year of the Dragon scrapping!

GOOD FORTUNE
Here's a taste of the orient to add a little spice and beauty to your
pages! This Asian inspired kit is a must to scrap your photos of the
Chinese New Year, EPCOT China, an oriental vacation, pandas, Chinese
takeaway night, and so many other pages! There's a great assortment of
papers and elements that range from the cute and whimsical to beautiful
and elegant! Something for every taste and style! This great kit is
bursting at the seams with over 20 papers, 70 elements, and a full

Wadding in the River with Kellybell Designs' Newest Princess Kit


If you've been working on Kelly's February Blog Challenge trying to decide which Disney princess to scrap, you may have noticed that Kelly's offering of kits is missing one princess. Have you figured out which one that was?? She's the daughter of a Native American chief. She can feel the spirits in the earth, water and sky. She can hear voices in the mountain and see colors in the wind. Of course, she's Pocahontas and here is her kit....

AROUND THE RIVERBEND

'Around The Riverbend' is a fabulous collection of 15 papers in woodsy textures and patterns mixed with gorgeous turquoise. There's Pocahontas and Meeko along with a tee pee, tree, campfire, branches, canoe, feathers, flairs and other pretty flowers, strings and leaves. Plus Kelly made a stunning wooded alpha in a deep rich brown.

Check out these amazing new Page Starters. There's 2 borders, 2 frame clusters, one word art title and a cluster strip. So beautiful! And they make a great addition to your scrapping stash.


These 2 new releases will be 25% off this weekend only so make sure you grab them now at a discount at Kellybell Designs Store.

The papers in this kit are amazing for stacking and blocking. And you can cluster your heart out with all these adorable elements. Check out what I made with 'Around The Riverbend'. In the several times that we have been to WDW, I did not know you could meet Pocahontas; however, this kit goes perfect with any outdoorsy layout you may need! I used pictures of the Tree of Life and Animal Kingdom.



Kelly's Creative Team has 3 amazing freebies for you today. Your path through the mountains will start first here with a word art freebie for you, then take your canoe over to Christy's Blog, and your last stop with be at Linda's Blog. Leave some love as you pass through their camps to find 3 treasures.

Happy Anniversary Keystone Scraps!

Can you believe that it has been a whole year since Melissa and Paula opened up their little Keystone Scraps Blog Store??? I know I can't!! They have created dozens of fun scrapbook kits since then... opened up a brand new store... got a fabulous bunch of girls on their creative team.... and have grown so much as designers!

Keystone has all sorts of fun things planned for their Anniversary Month!
A huge sale, a new look and logo, 2 blog trains planned on the 10th and 20th, 3 brand new releases, and a few contests too!!

Be sure to check out both stores at Scraps-N-Pieces and Keystone Scraps Store!
All of the products are exclusive to one store or the other... so be sure to visit both!

At the Blog Store.....all prices will be at half the listed price when you add it to your cart! The Blog Store will be closing at the end of February.... and almost all of the blog store items will be permanently retired!!

Melissa and Paula are toying with adding 3-4 of them to their regular store at SNP... but if they do, they will NOT be exactly like the ones that are currently available! They may remove, add, or alter elements and papers. So if there's something you really want... now is the time to snag it!


Stop by Keystone's Facebook Page and Like US!!

The first of 2 contests this month require a FREE MINI KIT that you can pick up at the Key's Facebook page!
