You can't miss this deal!!!

Kelly is On Vacation...What's Up?!?

Hold on to your wallets ladies, they just might be getting a little bit lighter! Kelly has left for Disney World today for an amazing trip with her 3 girls. Well, the minute Kelly left out the door, those crazy princesses Aurora and Belle came in and took over the store. First they wanted to give away everything for free, but I don't think Kelly would have liked that too much. So instead, everything is on sale for 50% off (except bundles). Yup, that all the kits, add-ons, page starters, alphas, paper stacks, date stamps, word art, pixie dust, quick pages and embellishments.

Kelly's store is loaded with tons of fabulous Disney inspired kit. Have you browsed around lately? There is so much to choose from. Right now there are 15 add-ons, 9 alphas, 10 date stamps, 19 embellishments, 69 kits, 48 page starters and paper stacks, 12 quick pages and 65 word art. Yes, that's a LOT, I know. Don't worry, the sale goes on for a little more than a week so you have plenty of time to look around, check your scrapping stash, view the gallery for layout inspiration, and figure out what items you need to add to your shopping cart. The sale starts on Friday August 24th and ends on midnight EST on Sunday September 2nd.

Head on over to Kellybell Designs Store and get ready to go shopping!! If you need some scrapping inspiration for Kelly's kits, you can check out the Kellybell Designs gallery to view some amazing layouts. Here are 2 of my favorite layouts I made with Kelly's kits.

First up is my Mad Tea Party LO. I am not a big journaler in my scrapbooking so this was a tough one for me but there are so many great elements and papers in this kit that the inspiration simply flowed out.

I used Wonderland for this kit, along with the Word Art and Page Starter add-ons.

For my second LO, it is totally a walk down memory lane. This LO was the very first one I created one year ago when I was first asked to join the Kellybell Deisgns Creative Team, so this LO is very special to me...Plus I really love the elements in this kit!!

For this LO I used Everything Pop along with the Word Art add on.

Have fun shopping this week and make sure you stay tuned to Kelly's blog. The Creative Team has a big surprise for you next week!

Have a magical day!!

Love Disney Dining? Need a LO Title?? Here it is...

Disney is full of fun rides, shows and themed decorations. Probably one of the most unique things you can do there is dine with the Disney characters. How fun is it to eat a great meal and have several characters come around to your table to personally visit with you. You can have fun with the characters, have then sign your autograph books, take lots of photos with them, all in a more relaxed environment. There are so many different dining places to choose from and so many different characters to meet at each place. The costumes are fabulous. Your camera certainly gets a workout at these character meals. To celebrate all the fun at character meals, Kelly is introducing a set of 3 word art packs that are filled with character meal titles. She's covered both Disneyworld and Disneyland.

Wow, aren't those just amazing!! These certainly need to go into your Disney scrapping stash. If you're like me, you've got a ton of character meal photos to scrap, so make sure you grab these word art packs this weekend while they are 25% off at www.KellybellDesigns.com.

Here's some character meal fun that I scrapped. You can head over to Kelly's Blog to look at all the CT inspiration.

Hope this has given you some inspiration.

Have a magical day!

Templates for a Great Cause!

We have a dear friend and fellow designer that has been diagnosed with leukemia. She has missed a lot of work and so designers from Scraps N Pieces and Stuff to Scrap have come together to put together a fund raising kit to benefit our Dear Friend. She is a great designer and a good friend to all of us. She is having to take a break right now from work and from designing to take care of herself and we hope the funds raised from this template pack will help benefit her in some small way and show our appreciation to her for all she has done to help and support us.

This template pack contains 40 - 12x12 templates and 4 - 8.5 x 11 templates in PSD, TIF, PNG, and PAGE formats. You will get tons of use from them and be able to use them over and over again. Be sure to tell your friends to come pick up this great deal on some awesome templates and help out our friend in the meantime. Template pack is $15 regularly, but on sale for $11.99 right now. That makes it less than 30cents per template!

Here are a couple of super cute layouts made with a couple of these templates

Seak Peek from Kellybell Designs...

Choo Choo!!! All aboard the Keystone Scrap Caboose!!!

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 of my favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom...Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
I also used one of Keystone Scraps' template from Sensational Scraps Vol 2.

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.
