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:
