August Blog Train with Kellybell Designs

Kelly is still on her vacation with the girls at Disneyworld. Princess Aurora and Princess Belle have taken over the store and are practically giving everything away. It you haven't already gone shopping, make sure you pick up all your scrapping supplies while the store is 50% off (except bundles) at www.KellybellDesigns.com.

This week, we have another fun surprise for you. Since the autograph card blog train in May was so successful, the Creative Team is now bringing you another round of characters cards.

I'm so excited to share with you my two 4x6 autograph cards. You should have arrived here from Jessica P's blog. After picking up my cards, you'll be headed off to Jamie B's blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find the master list at Kellybell Designs Blog. When you finish the blog train, you should have 22 Disney autograph cards. Enjoy the blog train, leave some love along the way, and have fun creating an awesome Disney autograph book!

Hold on to your wallets ladies, they just might be getting a little bit lighter! Kelly has left for Disneyworld 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.

 

for this Dumbo layout, I used Big Top. I love the bright colors and fun elements!

 

for this Main Street layout, I used Magical Beginning, Don't Ya Love a Parade, Rainbow Chrome Alpha, Mickey Balloons, Mixed Media vol 1, and Ooh La La Silver Alpha. I love how all these pieces blended together, and it's so bright and vibrant!

Dining with Kellybell Designs

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.

Kellybell Designs August Blog Challenge

August brings us the dog days of summer. All we can think about is cooling off and hanging out by the pool. Mixing kids and water is a guaranteed recipe for happiness. So that will be the theme for this month's Kellybell Designs August Blog Challenge called "Wet and Wild".
Here's all the rules and instructions to play:

• Scrap some Disney water fun. This can be photos from a Disney cruise or water park, a water ride like Splash Mountain or Kali River Rapids, swimming in the resort pools, splashing in the squirting fountains, boat rides from the resort, waterfalls from Jungle Cruise, squirting Tikis in Adventureland, standing in front of the Epcot fountains, even photos in the rain. Be creative here!
• Follow these 3 instructions:
• Use at least 4 photos
• Include some waves or splashes (a wavy or curvy border, ocean waves, water drops)
• Use at least one blue paper
• Layouts should be made with 100% Kellybell products or freebies (you are allowed to use a template from another designer). You are welcome to submit more than 1 layout.
• Post your layout into the Challenges Gallery at Kellybell Designs by midnight EST August 31th

Two winners will be selected and announced the first week of September. One winner will be chosen at random so all participants have a chance to win. The second winner will be selected as the most outstanding layout. Both winners will receive a gift certificate to Kellybell Designs store.

Kelly has lots of kits to choose from to scrap your layout for this challenge. You might choose from Beachy Keen, City of Tomorrow, Just Keep Swimming, Kiss The Girl, Land Of Adventure, Sail Away With Me, Water and Ice, Where Dreams Set Sail.

Check out Kelly's blog to see lots more inspiration from her entire Creative Team and to find out who won the July Blog Challenge. Here's a page I made for the Wet and Wild Blog Challenge.

If you have been looking for a kit that truly captures the feel of Big Thunder Mountain, your search is over! For the month of July, the Design Challenge had a bit of a twist; instead of working with a color palette, the participants were given a theme - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - and they did not disappoint! This collab is AMAZING! It is a perfect kit for your Big Thunder Mountain Railroad layouts as well as Frontierland, Woody (Toy Story), and general western/desert layouts. Many of the designers had never worked with a western-type theme before but you would never know that by looking at their submissions. This collab consists of 12 mini kits (7 of which include their own alphas), 2 templates, and 1 alpha, and it is in the MouseScrappers store right now! Can you believe you can get the whole thing for only $3?!?! That's right, $3; this is a deal you don't want to pass up! Check out this amazing preview of all the submissions. Just click the image to go to the MouseScrappers Store to purchase!

Want to see what you can do with this collab? The MouseScrappers Creative Team has created some fabulous layouts using it; they are posted in the DC4 gallery HERE. And here's what I created with this incredible collab!
