Expedition Safari

Have you ever been on a wild animal safari? Or maybe dreamed about one day taking a trip to Africa in search of lions and elephants? Maybe some day .... but for now we'll enjoy seeing these majestic creatures in the zoos and wildlife parks, which is just as exciting. Today, we celebrate those animal instincts as we Remember The Magic of....

EXPEDITION SAFARI

Expedition Safari is so wonderfully wild and full of animal goodies. Take a look at the lion, giraffe, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and elephant. Look further and you'll find a jeep, camera, bongos, tribal mask, and a mix of flowers, greenery, buttons, ribbons and 15 papers with some great animal skin prints. And lastly, a large cardboard alpha for crafting the perfect title.

To supplement the Expedition Safari kit, Kelly has created a new Add-On with 7 richly patterned papers and amazing frames, leaves and flowers. And check out the set of 6 Clusters which can give your pages a quick jump start.

To find the Expedition Safari kit, Word Art Pack, Add-On and Cluster Pack, you can head on over to Kellybell's Store. Remember, the Kit and Word Art will be 50% off this weekend and the new Add-On and Clusters will be 25% off this weekend. That's a fabulous price so why not grab them all!!

Here's a page I made with these fabulous kits:

Part 3, Brown Eyed Girl

Here is the third part of the Scrap Matters Collab Trio, Brown Eyed Girl.  I love all the great backgrounds and cute elements this kit has.  Such a fun kit and look to balance the sophistication of Unforgettable.

Here is my page with Unforgettable.  I saw the collection used for other National Park photos and I loved the colors.

There is nothing more precious than to hear your child's laughter. To watch your son run around and play ball with such a carefree spirit. To play dress up and drink pretend tea with your daughter. Every day, it's a new adventure for them filled with blissful happiness. But sadly, we also know that there are many children who are not so lucky that spend most of their days battling a life-threatening illness and visiting hospitals and treatment centers. One place that offers an escape from all that and offers a magical vacation full of bliss is called Give Kids The World, an organization in Florida that accommodates the wishes of terminally ill children with a fun filled and cost free resort for children and their families to visit. It's a place that brings joy and smiles instead of tears and frowns.

MouseScrappers.com along with 12 special designers are thrilled to bring you a charity collab kit that will benefit Give Kids the World. This fabulous new kit called 'Wishes, Happiness & Hope' was inspired by the color and whimsy of the Give Kids The World resort. It is jam-packed with 72 papers, 3 alphas, over 200 elements and an amazing template! All proceeds will be donated to Give Kids The World. Take a look at this amazing kit!!

WISHES, HAPPINESS & HOPE

Wow, it's just a stunning kit and it's for a very special cause. You'll find it at the MouseScrappers Store. Here's a little bit more about Give Kids The World...

Give Kids The World Village is a 70-acre, nonprofit "storybook" resort located near Central Florida's most beloved attractions where children with life-threatening illnesses and their families are treated to week long, cost-free fantasy vacations. Their mission is to fulfill the wishes of children and to never turn a child away. Give Kids The World works very closely with organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation to fulfill these wishes. Make-A-Wish qualifies the families and provides transportation to the Orlando area, and Give Kids The World provides a week of accommodations, food and theme park tickets - all at no cost to the families.

It is almost entirely staffed by friendly, loving volunteers called "Angels" who greet everyone with a warm smile. The facilities around the resort were designed with special needs in mind (e.g. a carousel that accommodates wheel chairs)... and pretty much all 'typical' household rules are thrown out the window. If a child wants ice cream for breakfast, they can have it! Anything to help them forget about doctor visits, hospitals, and needles - if only for a week. Give Kids the World relies on donations - so MouseScrappers is proud to be able to do our part to help. 100% of the revenue generated from the sale of this kit will be donated to Give Kids the World. For more information on this wonderful place, please visit http://www.givekidstheworld.org/. Here's a few pictures of this magical resort.

This kit was a collaborative effect by many generous people. Designs were graciously donated by:

Bugged Out!

Ewww, there's a bug!!! Seriously, when you see a bug, is your first reaction to save it or squish it?? Or maybe to put on your 3D "Bug Eye" glasses to watch It's Tough To Be A Bug show at Animal Kingdom. Disney-Pixar's "A Bug's Life" is full of adorable little creatures featuring a cute blue ant named Flik and all his insect friends. Today Kelly has a new kit that's also full of little outdoor critters called...

BUGGED OUT

'Bugged Out' has 15 papers with a great mix of solids and patterns including some wonderful leafy designs. And take a peek at the adorable big blue ant Flik. He's accompanied by a snail, caterpillar, bumblebee, black ant, dragonfly, firefly and several ladybugs. Plus several woodsy leaves, grass, tree and mushrooms. The big green alpha will make some fabulous titles. And if you want some premade titles, then check out Kelly's Word Art pack of 7 different sayings. Whether you scrapping your meetings with Flik and Atta or scrapping your child picking up bugs, this kit will be a fabulous addition to your scrapping stash.

Stop by Kellybell's Store to browse all her wonderful creations and to purchase this kit and matching word art. Remember, all new releases are 25% off for the weekend.

Aren't those colors fabulous? Take a look at what I scrapped with 'Bugged Out'.

I used a fun Photoshop technique to curve the leaf borders and will share with you in my next entry.

Kelly's Creative Team earned their "creative" badges today with an amazing selection of freebies. You don't want to miss out on these! So here's the ant trail you need to follow today: Donna's Blog, Linda's Blog and Sarah's Blog. Happy scrapping and watch out for bugs!!

Remember the Magic: Cinderelly!

The story of Cinderella is such a dreamy feel-good story where the young maid, surrounded by 2 evil stepsisters and a demanding stepmother, transitions into a beautiful princess who marries the handsome prince and lives happily ever after. Little girls everywhere have been dressing up like Cinderella with visions of living in a castle some day. It's the ultimate dream come true story that appeals to all ages.

Today Kelly brings back an oldie but goodie classic out of the vault to share with you for the weekend. Today, we remember the magic of.....

CINDERELLY

'Cinderelly' has 15 papers in a lush palette of blue, white and yellow. You'll find 3 stitches, crowns, carriage, heart shaped glitter balloons, magic wand and lots of matching buttons, ribbons and flowers.
