Harbor Bay by Dream Big Designs

I had the chance to play with a new kit today. It's Harbor Bay from Dream Big Designs. I absolutely love the nautical theme! And the little elements are so spectacular!
And there is an add-on too!

Here is the page that I made. I wanted to scrap this picture of the lighthouse at Old Key West, and this kit and add-on were perfect!

The kit and add-on are available at ScrapMatters. They are a great addition to your stash! Happy scrapping!

Remember the Magic of Expedition Safari with Kellybell!


Have you ever been on a wild animal safari? Or maybe dreamed about one day taking a trip to Africa in search of lions and elephants? Maybe some day .... but for now we'll enjoy seeing these majestic creatures in the zoos and wildlife parks, which is just as exciting. Today, we celebrate those animal instincts as we Remember The Magic of....

EXPEDITION SAFARI


Expedition Safari is so wonderfully wild and full of animal goodies. Take a look at the lion, giraffe, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and elephant. Look further and you'll find a jeep, camera, bongos, tribal mask, and a mix of flowers, greenery, buttons, ribbons and 15 papers with some great animal skin prints. And lastly, a large cardboard alpha for crafting the perfect title.

To supplement the Expedition Safari kit, Kelly has created a new Add-On with 7 richly patterned papers and amazing frames, leaves and flowers. And check out the set of 6 Clusters which can give your pages a quick jump start.



To find the Expedition Safari kit, Word Art Pack, Add-On and Cluster Pack, you can head on over to Kellybell's Store. Remember, the Kit and Word Art will be 50% off this weekend and the new Add-On and Clusters will be 25% off this weekend. That's a fabulous price so why not grab them all!!

Here's a page I made with these fabulous kits:


Hope that you can find your inner animal and scrap some really wild pages!
Happy scrapping!

I've got great news today. The first bit is that I was selected to be on Val's (of geniaBeana Scraps) creative team. I am thrilled to get to work with her awesome creations! The second bit of good news is that Val has a fabulous kit in the Manic Monday sale today over at ScrapMatters. She is offering Basically Elegant for 50% off just for today.

I love the elegance in this kit! And there are so many elements to add to those pages! I scrapped a page from brother's wedding. I have promised to make him a book, and I have been seriously slacking on that!

Better grab this kit if it's not already in your stash while you can for 50% off! Happy scrapping!

Help make a wish come true for a child!!

There is nothing more precious than to hear your child's laughter. To watch your son run around and play ball with such a carefree spirit. To play dress up and drink pretend tea with your daughter. Every day, it's a new adventure for them filled with blissful happiness. But sadly, we also know that there are many children who are not so lucky that spend most of their days battling a life-threatening illness and visiting hospitals and treatment centers. One place that offers an escape from all that and offers a magical vacation full of bliss is called Give Kids The World, an organization in Florida that accommodates the wishes of terminally ill children with a fun filled and cost free resort for children and their families to visit.

It's fall time with Crossbone Cuts!

Tanya has an amazing fall (or not so fall-ish) bundle out today at ScrapMatters. She is from California, and she doesn't get much of a fall there, so she came up with the Fall Fail idea. It's perfect for people in those warmer climates!
Fabulous, isn't it? And it's on sale right now at ScrapMatters! A great deal! I used pieces from both even though we definitely get fall where we are! Here's my LO from a pumpkin patch we visited last year.

I also used a Tuesday Template from August 30th. They are such a fun way to get pages scrapped. Happy scrapping!

Wishes, Happiness and Hope Collab from Mousescrappers!

MouseScrappers.com is thrilled to bring you a first... a collab kit that will benefit a very special place: Give Kids the World

Give Kids The World Village (GKTW) is a 70-acre, nonprofit "storybook" resort, located near Central Florida's most beloved attractions, where children with life-threatening illnesses and their families are treated to week long, cost-free fantasy vacations. Their mission is to fulfill wishes of children as long as there is need  and to never turn a child away. GKTW works very closely with organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation to fulfill these wishes. Make-A-Wish qualifies the families and provides transportation to the Orlando area, and GKTW provides a week of accommodations, food and theme park tickets - all at no cost to the families. It is almost entirely staffed by friendly, loving volunteers (or "Angels", as they are called) who greet everyone with a warm smile. The facilities around the resort were designed with special needs in mind (e.g. a carousel that accommodates wheel chairs)... and pretty much all 'typical' household rules are thrown out the window. If a child wants ice cream for breakfast, they can have it! Anything to help them forget about doctor visits, hospitals, therapy, etc - if only for a week. Give Kids the World relies on donations - so MouseScrappers is proud to be able to do our part to help. 100% of the revenue generated from the sale of this kit will be donated to Give Kids the World. For more information on this wonderful place, please visit http://www.givekidstheworld.org/

Our new kit, Wishes, Happiness and Hope, was inspired by the color and whimsy of this resort. It is jam-packed with 72 papers, a detailed template, 3 alphas, and over 200 elements!

Designs were graciously donated by:

A Grieving Mommy
