Disney World Rides Vol. 2 from Kellybell Designs

Sing it with me... "Oh what fun it is to ride..... " Nothing beats a theme park ride for making you laugh, making you cry or scaring the pants off you. Disney has so many amazing rides at their parks. Some get you wet, some send you upside down, some sail on a boat and some go in the dark. They are all so fabulous. Kelly's new release today was inspired by all those ride. It's Volume 2 of her Disney World Rides.

Everyone loves to scrap their favorite rides. These word art titles are so cool and make the perfect topper to your layouts. There are 16 wonderful titles. A must have in your scrapping stash. You can find this word art pack inside the Kellybell Designs Store for 25% off this weekend only.

These titles are so versatile to use. Make them large as a page title or make them small as a word strip under a photo. Here's a page that I made. I used the new word art and Festival King.

Simples Dates from Kellybell Designs

What day is it? Have you ever tried to think back and figure out when something happened? Did it happen on the first or the second of the month? Was it in January or February? Dates can be very important... like the day you got married or the date your baby was born. Dates can also be very difficult to keep track of or boring to try to record. Scrapbooking is all about recording your memories and dates are a very critical piece of that. Having a diverse assortment of ways to put dates onto your layouts is a good way to add some spice and fun to dating your pages. Today Kelly has 2 new sets of date packs for you. Take a closer look.

SIMPLE DATES VOL 12

These date tags are very flexible. You can change the colors of the tags, flip them around, add the date in the month or just the year. So versatile!

SIMPLE DATES VOL 13

You can find all of Kelly's date packs inside the Kellybell Designs Store. The 2 new packs are priced at 25% off this weekend only. Make sure to add them to your cart.

Here's a page that I made using Simple Dates, Fairytale Story and a few other goodies from Kellybell Designs.

In the Pocket Villains from Kellybell Designs

Halloween has come and gone this year. Now comes time to scrap all those Halloween pictures you took. Sometimes it's more fun to scrap the pictures of the mean, gory, scary and nasty villains and bad guys. They add so much drama to the page. Who's your favorite villain? Could it be Maleficent, maybe Jafar or how about Cruella De Vil? Villains are the subject of this week's new release from Kellybell Designs. Plus it's an In The Pocket style pack - too cool!

Also new this week is a set of That Covers It Templates. Kelly's got a little bit different twist on these, they've got some circles in them.

2014 has really flown by fast! This will be the last blog challenge of the year. We take the month of December off since the holiday season is so busy and hectic. Have you enjoyed the challenges so far? I hope so! This last challenge is all about FOOD. Dining at Disney is quite a yummy experience!

CT member Julie has a set of pocket style journal cards that's the participation prize this month. Make sure you submit a layout so that you can get this pack.

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

DSD Blog Train for Kellybell Designs

Today is Digital Scrapbooking Day. It's always celebrated on the first Saturday in November. It's a day we celebrate scrapping on our computers and cell phones. Crazy to think how far the scrapbooking industry has come. First it was only paper scrapping, then scrapping on your PC, now you can create a page on your phone. Wow!

Kelly has some fun things happening today. First is a store wide sale. You can get 35% off everything (except bundles and gift certificates). So head on over to the Kellybell Designs Store and browse through all her collections. Make sure you also stay tuned into Kelly's Facebook page because she'll be tossing out some coupons throughout the day.

Kelly is offering a new kit called "Wanna Be Royal" that's available for free for one day only - Saturday November 1st. You can find it in the store. It's a darling kit inspired by the ugly stepsisters. It contains 8 papers and an assortment of elements for scrapping your photos with Anastasia and Drizella.

Isn't that kit adorable? It's got some pink items for Anastasia and some green items for Drizella. Sweet! Here's a page that I made.

Kelly's Creative Team has a Cinderella themed word art blog train for you. This matches perfectly with the step sisters kit above. Along the way, you can collect 15 different word art titles. How pretty! You're just going to love it.

Finally, in case you didn't see it last week.....

In honor of Kellybell Design's new LAYERED paper stacks, I am re-releasing my Peter Pan paper stack as a layered stack!  Download it, try, and it see if these layered stacks are not the greatest thing to hit digital scrapbooking since Photoshop!!!!

Here is what I did with it. As you can see, my photos are UNDER the elements for a great 3D look. It was as fast and easy as a quickpage, but with the versatility to create the page that fit my photos.

Have fun!!!
