Who's the Fairest at Kellybell Designs?

Snow White has been a very popular subject for movies & shows recently. There's the movie "Mirror Mirror" and "Snow White And The Huntsman", plus she's been featured in the TV series "Once Upon A Time". It's fun seeing a princess character brought to life on the big screen. Kelly's new collection this week was inspired by that popular princess and it's called "Who's The Fairest?".

This kit is absolutely adorable. It contain a Snow White doll, deer, raccoon, rabbit, birds, apples, mirrors, frames, banner, ribbons, flag, mushrooms, trees, tree stump, acorn, lipstick kiss and much more. It's so pretty! There's a full white alpha lined with blue trim along with 15 papers in dots, patterns and solids.

Kelly also has the matching page starters, layered paper stacks and word art titles.

Do you know how these new layered paper stacks work? Inside the pack you get 4 of the paper stacks pictured in the preview image. Then you get the papers and the elements broken out into 2 separate groupings. One grouping is just the stacked papers as a JPG file. The other grouping is all the layered elements as a PNG file. You can use either of these stand alone or mix and match them.

You can find this new collection at the Kellybell Designs Store priced at 25% off this weekend only. Make sure you pick them up at a discount. Take a look around the store to see what other items you might need to add to your shopping cart too.

These colors in the kit are so classic for scrapping Snow White. Here's a page that I made.

Kelly's Creative Team has 3 freebies ready for you to scoop up today. Below is the places you need to travel to find them. Leave the ladies a hug along the way. Happy scrapping and have a great weekend!

Kellybell That Covers It Templates Vol 11, Photopass Vol. 2 and Ears to You!

We've got ears, say "cheers"! Do you remember the original cast from the Mickey Mouse Club? They had their names on their shirts and they wore the classic black mouse ears. That show first aired on TV in 1955. Ever since then, mouse ears have become a fashion must-have for your Disney trips. Today you can dress up your Mickey ears in all kinds of ways so you can be a pirate, princess or bride. Kelly's got some new items for you to play with today, including some mouse ears, Photopass sayings and a new pocket template pack.

EARS TO YOU

Ears To You is an adorable pack filled with 10 colored mouse ears and 10 sayings so that you can use them alone or mix and match the sayings.

Another cool pack of sayings is the Make Your Own Photopass Volume 2. Inside is 9 different sayings that you can layer on top of your Disney photos, just like the ones you can create in Photopass. These are fabulous for adding a little sparkle to your pictures. Use them as a photo caption, a word art title, even inside a journal card. So many possibilities!

MAKE YOUR OWN PHOTOPASS VOL 2

Last up is a new set of pocket style templates. This pack has squared edges and is filled with lots of big blocks for photos.

Britt-ish Designs Unveils My Life In Pockets for 2015

As an alum of Digital Project Life's CT, I was wondering what I would do for my Project Life 2015 book this year...which direction would I go to document my family!

Britt was reading my mind because she is unveiling "My Year in Pockets" !!!

Each week we'll do our best TOGETHER to document and record!

The Nitty Gritty: Each month I will release a new "My Year in Pockets" bundle. The bundle will include a full kit - papers, alpha, elements and of course the ever-important JOURNAL CARDS! Each product will be available individually, or sold in a bundle at a discounted price (the usual way of things here at Britt-ish Designs). Individually the products would total $12.50. Purchased in the bundle you only pay $8.99 (a 28% savings).

Now, here's where it gets exciting . . . you can purchase to the year-long "My Year in Pockets: 2015 Subscription". You make a one-time investment of $89.99 and you get ALL 12 months of the My Year in Pockets bundle - a $150 value - so already you're getting 40% off every bundle. PLUS every month you'll you get a newsletter from Britt with tips, tricks, inspiration, ideas, AND bonus freebies! On top of that, you'll receive access to our new My Year In Pockets Members-Only Forum - a place where we'll chat, hang out, inspire, assist, share progress and successes.

"My Year in Pockets: 2015 Subscription"

Ok - let me break it down for you:

If you become a subscriber here's what you'll get TODAY:

* "My Year In Pockets: Weekly Card Templates"
* "My Year In Pockets: Basic Templates" (regular and rounded)
* ALL the amazing new January 2015 Products (see below)

Emails containing the first month's fantastic MYIP newsletter, exclusive freebie, and access information for the Members-Only forum will be delivered to your inbox directly. Emails start going out on Monday (01/12/15).

"My Year In Pockets (January 2015): Bundle"

"My Year In Pockets (January 2015): Cards"

"My Year In Pockets (January 2015): Embellishments"

"My Year In Pockets (January 2015): Papers"

"My Year In Pockets (January 2015): Alpha"

OK!! That's the January collection. Fun, right? ALL of that is included in the January bundle AND of course, in the subscription!

Also included in the subscription (but not in the January bundle) are two MORE products straight out of Britt's amazing scrapbooks!! The templates she created for my own use AND the weekly number cards she's used all this past year!

"My Year In Pockets: Basic Templates"

And of course, she did a rounded corner version too!!

"My Year In Pockets: Basic Templates Rounded"

These pocket templates are tried and true. I've printed Shutterfly books with them and they have just enough of a gutter (blank border edge) around them to not get cut off, and still look awesome! They are easy to modify, rotate, or customize. Trust me, they make pocket style scrapping a snap.

"My Year In Pockets: Weekly Card Templates"

Numbering your weeks just got SUPER easy (and cute!). Included in this pack you'll find 3x4 AND 4x6 templates, with separate PNG numbers to plop onto the card every week. Britt included a link IN the download to where you can find the same (free) font she uses to do her dating, in case you like it enough to do yours just like it.

Here is my first page of 2015 using all the new stuff!!

Wizards Unite! Kellybell Takes on Harry Potter!

There's been so much excitement surrounding the Harry Potter movies and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the theme parks. For a while, everyone was dressing up with a cape and a wand with lots of young wizards wandering around. It's so much fun to cast a spell and hopefully turn your brother into a frog. This week's new release captures all the mystery and drama of wizardry in a new collection called....

Inside this new kit you'll find a pretty amazing assortment of wizardry elements including a thunderbolt, 6 potion bottles, broomstick, scarves, birdcage, books, signs, dragons, castle bridge, castle spire, castle tower, cauldron, candle, flowers, buttons, inkwell with quill, neckties, banners, crests, hats, stars, wands, train, owls, lanterns, glasses and much more. There's a full brown/black alpha and a set of 15 papers in plaids, stripes and fun patterns.

Kelly also has a set of page starters and layered paper stacks. These are so versatile and make for quick scrapping.

Lastly there's a set of 7 word art titles. These are fabulous!

You can find this new collection priced at 25% off this weekend only inside Kellybell Designs Store. Don't miss out on the sale or you'll be turned into a toad!

This kit has so many uses. You can scrap photos of your kids dressed up as wizards, make party favors and invitations, or scrap photos from the theme park. Take a look at what I made.

You don't need to cast a spell to find your freebies today. Kelly's Creative Team has made 3 freebies for you ! Mine is below and then follow the path over to Charlene's Blog, and Jenn's Blog. Have fun scrapping and have a great weekend!
