Kellybell Design's May Blog Challenge


Wow, what a busy weekend this is! So much going on for National Scrapbook Day and now it's the first Sunday of the month and time to update the Kellybell Designs Blog Challenge. This month's theme is all about animals. And what perfect timing... you can use Kelly's free NSD kit called 'Top Dog' to create your layout this month.

Here's the participation prize you'll receive this month for playing along. It's 2 word art titles made by CT Member Linda. Everyone who submits a layout will receive a participation prize. And the most outstanding layout will receive a gift certificate to Kelly's store.



Here are the rules and instruction to participation in the Monthly Blog Challenge:
  • Scrap a page showcasing animal fun. This can be anything from Disney's Animal Kingdom park (rides, shows, characters, scenery), animal rides like Jungle Cruise and Dumbo, animals around the parks and resorts, or even meeting a character that's an animal (Baloo, Pluto, Marie).
  • 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 May 31st. 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 June. That's also when the participation prizes will be sent out.

Take a look at these kits below that might be helpful for scrapping your challenge layout.











You can find lots of inspiration at Kelly's Blog to give you some ideas of what to scrap for this challenge. Here's my animal layout:

Kellybell Design's NSD Party Kickoff

National Scrapbooking Day on Saturday May 4th celebrates scrappers worldwide!! There's so many people who are passionate about scrapbooking and preserving precious family memories. It's incredible how much the scrapbooking industry has grown year after year. It doesn't seem to be slowing down either!! At Kellybell Designs, Kelly and her Creative Team have lots of goodies planned for you. There's a free kit, storewide sale, coupons and blog train coming your way!!


Today Kelly is releasing a new collection called 'Top Dog!'. This collection was inspired by Mickey's best pal Pluto. You can meet Pluto at several places around Disney parks and character meals. You probably has tons of photos with that crazy mutt that you still haven't scrapped yet. Now you'll have the perfect kit with matching accessories to scrap all those pictures.


'Top Dog!' is so playful and cuddly, just like Pluto. Inside this kit you'll find 15 paper with the classic yellow, green and brown colors plus a mix of blues and reds. There's a dog house, whiskers, dog bowl, bone, fire hydrant, dog tags, dog character, flairs, flowers, banner, ribbons, paw print and scatters. Plus you'll get a pretty green alpha.

Now the best part -- it's absolutely FREE on Saturday only.

What did I say?? Did you hear that right?? Yes!! It's free in the store for Saturday 5/4 only.
You'll find it at www.KellybellDesigns.com.
Don't miss out because on Sunday, you'll have to purchase it!!

Kelly also created all the matching accessories to go with the kit. A pack of page starters, paper stacks and word arts. All of them are on the must-have list. These packs are available for sale at www.KellybellDesigns.com.




Speaking of sales, Kelly's got her entire store on sale for one day only. You'll get 25% off all kits and 35% off everything else (except bundles and gift certificates). Don't forget to use that special coupon you got in your newsletter for even more savings. And if you're a Facebook fan, you can stalk Kellybell Designs Facebook page on Saturday when she'll be throwing out some free coupons throughout the day. You gotta have fast fingers to grab them.

Here's a page that I created with the 'Top Dog!' collection.
