Spirit of America

This week we are all feeling a little bit more patriotic. For those of us here in the United States, it was a time to celebrate our independence on the Fourth of July. With bold colors of red, white and blue and lots of flag waving, this holiday is filled with family celebrations, parades, marches, fireworks, picnics and lots of outdoor fun. At Disney, you can find your fill of red, white and blue in Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom or at Epcot in the United States country inside the World Showcase. Your patriotism can soar with the release of Kellybell's latest collection called ....

'Americana' is packed with solids and patterned papers in the classic red, white and blue. The mix of patriotic elements is so wonderful -- you'll find a bald eagle, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, a stockade, liberty bell, feather ink quill, liberty tower, grandfather clock, tree, American flag, Abraham Lincoln top hat, Uncle Sam hat, hinges, lantern, iron fence and so much more. Kelly's included 2 alphas for you. One is a a red, white and blue flag print and the other is a classic gold.

Kelly went a little crazy creating lots of word art titles for you. Look at all these amazing titles to use for Liberty Square and the American Adventure in Epcot. Isn't the mix of the 2 alphas fabulous?

She's also created 4 paper stacks which make a wonderful starting point for your layouts, along with 6 different page starters. These make scrapping so fun and easy.

Kelly's newest collections are always on sale for 25% off for the first weekend. Head on over to www.KellybellDesigns.com to grab 'Americana'. Now let's take a look at what you can create with this kit.

With 'Americana', you can scrap your Fourth of July celebrations, parades, picnics and lots of other holiday events. It's so versatile. Here's what I created:

Donald and Daisy Duck are 2 characters you'll always be able to find at Disney, and they never disappoint. Donald is very silly and likes to play tricks on the kids.

Blog Train!!!

Welcome to Kellybell Designs Park Hopper Blog Train!

You should have arrived here from Kelly's Blog.

It's so thrilling to start your journey by hopping in the car for a long road trip or getting on the plane for a flight to Orlando. When the Magical Express bus picks you up and whisks you off to your resort, you know the fun is about to begin!

'TranspEARtation' is all about the journey of getting to Disney World and getting around once you've arrived. Whether you take the Disney bus or monorail, you can't help but get goosebumps knowing you're headed to the parks for a day filled with adventure.

TranspEARtation

Which resort should we stay at? There are so many choices. The Polynesian resort has an amazing tropical theme. You can have breakfast there with Lilo and Stitch before jumping on the monorail headed to Magic Kingdom. The 'Polynesian Paradise Add-On' is a beautiful way to scrap your memories here.
