Kellybell Designs - New Release - Simple Dates Vol 12&13

What day is it? Have you ever tried to think back and figure out when something happened? Did it happen on the first or the second of the month? Was it in January or February? Dates can be very important... like the day you got married or the date your baby was born. Dates can also be very difficult to keep track of or boring to try to record. Scrapbooking is all about recording your memories and dates are a very critical piece of that. Having a diverse assortment of ways to put dates onto your layouts is a good way to add some spice and fun to dating your pages. Today Kelly has 2 new sets of date packs for you. Take a closer look.

SIMPLE DATES VOL 12

These date tags are very flexible. You can change the colors of the tags, flip them around, add the date in the month or just the year. So versatile!

SIMPLE DATES VOL 13

You can find all of Kelly's date packs inside the Kellybell Designs Store. The 2 new packs are priced at 25% off this weekend only. Make sure to add them to your cart.

Here's a page that I made.

Halloween has come and gone this year. Now comes time to scrap all those Halloween pictures you took. Sometimes it's more fun to scrap the pictures of the mean, gory, scary and nasty villains and bad guys. They add so much drama to the page. Who's your favorite villain? Could it be Maleficent, maybe Jafar or how about Cruella De Vil? Villains are the subject of this week's new release from Kellybell Designs. Plus it's an In The Pocket style pack - too cool!

IN THE POCKET VILLAINS

Also new this week is a set of That Covers It Templates. Kelly's got a little bit different twist on these, they've got some circles in them.

THAT COVERS IT TEMPLATES VOL 10

You can find all of these new packs inside the Kellybell Designs Store for 25% off this weekend only. Make sure to pick these up soon.

Now let's take a look at how I scrapped with these new packs.



Kelly's CT gals have some villainous goodies for you today. You can find them in the blogs below. Have a great weekend and happy scrapping!
