Remember the Magic at Kellybell!







Fasten your seat belts folks because Kelly's got a whole bunch of exciting new creations to share with you today! Remember The Magic is a fun way to take an existing kit and spruce up the collection with lots of new accessories. Today our focus is Epcot and all the cool futuristic gadgets to tinker with there. Join us as we Remember The Magic of ....















'City of Tomorrow' was first introduced in April 2011. You probably already have it in your Disney stash. It's a fabulous go-to kit for so many types of Epcot pages. Inside this kit you'll find 15 papers made with cool metallic tones and geometric patterns. 'City of Tomorrow' is filled with 45 elements, everything from a monorail, globes, gears, wires, shiny stars, screws and other metallic goodies. The silver alpha is very contemporary and perfect for titling your Epcot pages.





This is the original set of 7 word art titles. It's a fun mix of silver and metals mixed with blues and reds.










To celebrate Remember The Magic, the original 'City of Tomorrow' kit and word art will be on sale for 50% off this weekend only.





Now feast your eyes on this amazing new Add-On. Don't you just love the Spaceship Earth element? There's 7 new papers with complimentary colors along with new gears, scatters, camera, flairs, spirals and a starburst. You can scrap everything from the entrance at Epcot, to the fountains at the Gateway entrance, and everything in Futureland to Illuminations. This is such a versatile kit.










Kelly created 5 new word art titles. With so much going on at Epcot, you just can't have enough word arts!










Are you addicted to Kelly's page starters yet? They are so easy to use and quite handy for whipping up a fast and beautiful layout.










Paper Stacks. Yup, these are addicting too! Nowadays, it's so important to get your Disney photo books done so that you can start planning your NEXT Disney trip. These paper stacks make it so simple to get your layouts done. Just think of how many Epcot pages you can use these paper stacks for.










These 4 new additions are on sale for 25% off until Sunday night at www.KellybellDesigns.com.






Wow, so much excitement in today's new release! There are so many ways to be creative with 'City Of Tomorrow' and all the new accessories in this collection. Take a look at what I scrapped. And make sure you check out Kellybell Designs' blog to see the entire Creative Team's inspirational layouts.
I used both the add-on and original kits as well as a new word art title!

The day we went to Epcot, we'd heard how amazing Soarin' was, so we went there first thing!
We had fast passes, so we were able to get in pretty quick, which was good, because we had reservations for early lunch at Akershus for Princess dining!

This isn't the great quality photo--(I think it looks better with the Storybook action from The CoffeeShop blog) but the girls look so cute posing and it is a great memory of one of their favorite rides!



Phew, you made it through to the bottom of the blog post! Now it's time to take a tour through Kelly's Creative Team and pick up some 'City Of Tomorrow' freebies. Check out Jamie's Blog, October's Blog, and Roxana's Blog to see what you can find. Happy scrapping and have a great week!

If you've ever read the story of Alice in Wonderland, you know that Alice has a very topsy turvy adventure throughout Wonderland.

There are lots of colorful characters in that story.... Alice, The Mad Hatter, The White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts, Playing Cards, and Cheshire Cat. And all the colors are bold and zany. Today, Kelly is announcing a new collection inspired by all those wonderful colors and characters called...

Sleepy Beauty from Kellybell Designs!

Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland is just a breathtaking site. First opened in July 1955, the castle was designed after the real Bavarian castle Neuschwanstein, one of the most popular castles in Europe. When you wrap in the story of Sleeping Beauty, it makes the castle seem even more awe inspiring. Knowing that true love's kiss can awaken the sleeping princess makes you wish we could all live in a fairy tale!! Today, Kelly has taken all that inspiration and created a stunning new kit for you called....










Isn't it just lovely? There's 15 papers in luscious colors of pink, purple and yellow, also including a stunning rock wall paper. The elements are very elegant and versatile, perfect for scrapping Aurora, Daisy Duck, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland and lots of other Disney pages. You'll find an Aurora doll, flairs, crown, banner, chandelier, hearts, rabbit, castle, swirls, buttons and so much more in this kit.

Check out the gorgeous alpha in white and pink. Here's 5 amazing word art titles to complement your layouts. These titles would work great for your meet and greet with Aurora or breakfast at Akershus, even photos in front of the castle.






You're going to love this set of 5 page starters. So fabulous for popping onto a page and adding instant pizazz.






For a gorgeous clustered paper background, Kelly's created 4 paper stacks to start your pages with an instant layered paper base.






You can purchase any of these kits individually or you can grab all of them together in a bundle.
