New Quickpages and a huge sale from Kellybell Designs!

There have been so many cool tools and techniques for scrapping. Most of them focus on how to do things quicker and easier. You can now get lots of pre-made word art titles, page starters, paper stacks and templates. Today, Kelly is focusing on quick pages.

So what exactly is a quick page and how do you use it? Quick pages are simply a pre-designed layout that already has papers and elements clustered together for you. Photo blocks are cut out allowing you to place your photos as a layer behind the quick page into the photo windows. You can still decorate on top of the quick page to add your own journaling and dates, even more photos if needed. These extra embellishments are placed as layers on top of the quick page. Quick pages are usually in a 12x12 PNG format. Take a look at all these new quick pages Kelly is adding to the store today.














Don't forget that the store wide sale is still happening this weekend. You'll get 50% off everything (excluding bundles and gift certificates).


Head on over to the Kellybell Designs Store to find all her fabulous Disney collections. The sale ends on Sunday midnight so don't miss out!

The leather bound photo book covers for Disneyland and Walt Disney World were so popular that Kelly just had to make more. Today she's got 3 leather bound album covers for a Disney cruise. You can choose from either a blue background or brown background. These are really amazing and will look so pretty as the photo book cover sitting on your coffee table. It screams "Pick me up and read me!".

The back cover of Volume1 reads "Let Dreams Set Sail".


The back cover of Volume2 reads "Our Memories Of The Sea Will Last Long After Our Footprints In The Sand Are Gone".


The back cover of Volume3 reads "Sail Away With Me".

Bring Back Florence Crocs!

Okay everyone. This is a little different post for me. I am on a mission to bring back Florence Crocs. I don't know if any of you have every had these and loved them, but Croc no longer makes the Florence style. 

They are so comfortable for walking around and, they actually stay on my feet, unlike some of the newer styles. 


If you loved them too, or want to try them, and would like to see them back, email the lovely and helpful Elise Kimbal who is in customer support at Crocs.com.

ekimbal@crocs.com

In the subject line type: "Bring Back The Florence Crocs!"

The only thing I didn't love about these were the colors, so while you are at it, suggest your dream color combination. I suggested pink and turquoise!

Thanks everyone! Maybe if enough people ask, they'll actually bring them back! Feel free to spread the word.

Hello there Kellybell Fans. I am so sorry about the delay in the freebie!  I had saved my post as "draft" and never published it to the web!  All this time I thought it was up and running. I fixed it just moments ago.  

Thanks so much to Sandra for pointing it out.

Spectrofun by Kellybell Designs and a FREEBIE!

Everyone knows that a Disney parade is an amazing event to watch. Have you seen any of the night time parades? There's something special about watching a parade in the dark. Disney makes a night time parade magical by filling up the floats and performers with lots of lights and sparkle. Kelly's new collection today is perfect for scrapping any of the night parades and shows.


Inside this kit you'll find a castle outline, light bulb, flowers, starbursts, music notes, word strips, glitter dust, frames, flairs, ribbons, stars, strings of lights, buttons and more. There's 15 papers in dark night colors along with a silver sparkle dot alpha.


Kelly also has a set of page starters, word art and journal cards. These are so beautiful!



Here's a new set of Pocket Story templates. They feature an oversized photo block. Perfect when you want to highlight a special photo.


You can find this sparkly new collection inside the Kellybell Designs Store. For this weekend only, it will be priced at 25% off so make sure you pick it up soon to get the discount!



It's so fun to see all the Creative Team layouts. Seeing them helps you to visualize how you might be able to scrap with this new collection. You can find all the CT layouts at Kelly's Blog or Kelly's Facebook Page. Here's my layout.




And now for my freebie. Kelly's CT gals have made 3 freebie paper stacks for you. They match perfectly with the new Spectrofun collection. You can pick them up at Lisa's Blog, Jenn's Blog and and mine below! Give the gals a hug along the way. Have a wonderful and magical weekend!

August Challenge from Kellybell Designs






Nothing is more spectacular than the view of Cinderella Castle as you enter Magic Kingdom, or the view of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. It's a must-do photo op on your trip, taken from different angles and taken during both day and night. How many pictures do you have of a Disney castle? The answer is certainly a big number! This month's challenge at Kellybell Designs is all about your castle photos.

Since this is a castle themed challenge, it seems only proper to have a castle themed participation prize. And boy did CT member Jennifer create an awesome one for you. She's got a pack of 6 journal cards that all have a castle on them - sweet! Aren't they beautiful? To get them, you'll need to create a layout for this month's challenge.



Here are the rules and instructions to participation in the Monthly Blog Challenge:
  • Scrap a page featuring a Disney castle. Make your castle photo really big as the central focus of the layout. You can use other photos on the page, just make sure that one castle photo is much larger than the rest.
  • Use as many elements and papers as you want. Decorate a lot or a little, it's up to you.
  • 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 31st. Participation prizes will be sent to the email address you have listed with Kelly's gallery so make sure you're registered and logged in with your User ID before posting your layout.
  • A random winner will be selected to win a $6.50 gift certificate to Kelly's store.
  • The winner will be announced the first week of September. That's also when the participation prizes will be emailed out.










Make sure you check out all the collections inside the Kellybell Designs Store. If you need some inspiration and scrapping ideas, you can head on over to Kelly's Blog or Kelly's Facebook Page to see all the Creative Team layouts for this challenge. Here is my page.
