November Blog Challenge from Kellybell Designs

The end of the year is fast approaching. With all the holiday festivities coming up, things can get pretty crazy! This November Blog Challenge will be the last one for the year. Kelly is skipping December since it's such a busy month. With this challenge you get to be creative and select your own theme. Kelly's calling it a 'Surprise Me' challenge.

As a special treat, you'll be receiving 2 participation prizes for playing along. CT member Lisa and Jennifer have amazing treats for you. Everyone who submits a layout will receive these 2 participation prizes. And the most outstanding layout will receive a gift certificate to Kelly's store.

Here are the rules and instructions to participation in the Monthly Blog Challenge:

• Scrap a page where you select the theme from a Disney park or cruise. Surprise Kelly with your creativity in how you use her products. Make sure this is a new layout and not one you've already created.
• You can use as many photos as you want and include as many elements and papers that you choose. We want to see your creativity sparkle!
• 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 Nov 30th. Participation prizes will be sent to the email address you have listed with Kelly's gallery.

The most outstanding layout will be announced the first week of December. That's also when the participation prizes will be sent out.

Check your stash to see what Kellybell Designs kits you already own or take some time to browse through Kelly's store to see if you want to pick up a new collection to scrap with. Here are a few of Kelly's kits to use.

These are great for scrapping Fab Five character photos.

Fairytale Story from Kellybell Designs

Once Upon A Time...

Every good fairy tale story begins this way. And of course it always has a happy ending where they lived happily ever after. What's between 'Once Upon A Time' and 'They Lived Happily Ever After' is an adventure filled drama for each princess. For Cinderella, she's held captive by an evil stepmother and 2 rotten step sisters, only later to be magically transformed into a princess attending a royal ball and marrying a handsome prince. In today's world, this only happens on reality TV, but for those of us with a dream filled heart, it happens every day in a magical fairy tale story at Disney.

Honoring the magic of Cinderella, Kelly's got a brand new collection that is fit for a princess. It's called...

Inside this gorgeous kit you'll find royally rich patterns and colors with over 50 elements including castle, castle wall, ribbons, carriage, glass slipper, blue bird, crests, scrolls, clock face, pumpkins, flairs, frames, flowers, greenery, banners, strings, sprays and much more. There's a full alpha that's white with a blue outline.

Check out these 5 word art titles. So pretty for your castle or Cinderella layouts.

Don't forget to add the page starters and paper stacks to your shopping cart. These are so brightly colored and beautifully clustered.

When you're scrapping a princess page, you always need some glitter. These glitter papers make a great addition to your princess scrapping stash.

All of Kelly's creations can be found at www.KellybellDesigns.com. This newest collection will be 25% of this weekend only so hurry over to the store and grab it while it's on sale. While you are at the store, check out all of Kelly's princess kits too.

'Fairytale Story' is a beautiful princess collection that can be used for scrapping photos in front of Cinderella's castle as well as meeting any of the princesses. Here's a page that I scrapped.
