Life’s a Zoo…

Posted on by
Wow! Can you believe that tomorrow is June!! This year is almost half over!! How wild is that!?!? I know as summer is approaching you all have your annual (or in our case…A LOT more than annual) trips to the zoo planned. We have already gone a few times this year and can’t wait to go back! Bella Gypsy has released a brand new kit today at Elemental Scraps…Life’s a Zoo! It’s cute, it’s cuddly and oh, so fun! It is perfect for scrapping all those zoo pictures or those crazy, “zoo-like” days in your life.

When I used to teach (yep, I taught elementary school for 9 years before “retiring” to stay home with the boys) we used to do a big butterfly unit each fall. The highlight of the unit was when we collected one specific caterpillar and watched them grow and eventually make a chrysalis. We watched them emerge as beautiful butterflies a few weeks. The kids loved this unit and loved letting their Monarch butterflies go just in time to head south before cold weather hit.
Maybe you have a child that loves chasing butterflies with a net or you love to take photos of butterflies? Maybe your child has had a similar experience in school or they just love butterflies. Butterfly Catchin’ is a beautiful, colorful kit that is perfect for everyday photos of kids playing or chasin’ butterflies in the park!

Hello fellow Bella Gypsy followers!!  Kiana here to show you some new goodies.  Hope your week is shaping up to be a great one!  Where I am, spring turned right into the dog days of summer.  We are currently enjoying a cool 90 degrees here!  I have heard rumors of snow in Utah but I can’t decide if I am jealous or not!  I guess I will just find a shady spot to make some rockin’ scrapbooking layouts with these terrific new goodies that I am about to share with you.
 Bella Gypsy has three new releases today at Gotta Pixel, and because they love you sooooo much, all three are in the $1 Tuesday bin!  Woohoo!!  Check these new items out:

Aren’t those some great new goodies!  Today they are only a $1 each! 
  Bella Gypsy’s new collaboration with Connie Prince “Pasghetti” is now available at Gotta Pixel.  This kit is so adorable!  If you have any messy faces just waiting to be scrapped this kit is for you!  Scroll down to the previous post to check out this kit, and some beautiful layouts made by our CT.   Released with the “Pasghetti” kit are two template kits “Spicy Meatballs”, and “All Covered with Cheese” are also available at Gotta Pixel today. 

And of course I could not leave you without a freebie!  Today you get an alpha that coordinates perfectly with the “Pasghetti” kit!  Lucky you!

Okay, so I have a few things that I wanted to throw by all of you Bella Gypsy fans.  Did you know that if you are looking for a specific type of kit, i.e., wedding, school, etc., you can post a message here and we will help you find what you need?  Yep, we sure will.  We are familiar all of the Bella Gypsy products and we can help you find what you’re looking for!  Additionally, if you ever need any help with a certain technique, or “How-To” you could post that on Bella Gypsy’s Facebook Fan page or here on the blog and you’re bound to get a great answer from someone!  There are so many ways that the Bella Gypsy Creative Team can help you!  I hope you’ll speak up if you ever need anything, as we would love nothing more than to hear from you and help you out!
Until next time…

Happy Monday Scrappers! It’s Kim bringing you all the goodies for today! If you follow our blog daily, you know I usually do the blog posts on Tuesdays. We made a switch and you are stuck with me on Mondays from now on! Grab a cup of coffee, a donut and sit back and relax because there are tons of releases today! Each preview is linked to the Bella Gypsy Elemental Scraps store.

Do you have some “Out of this World” kiddos, some little space cadets or some little space explorers? Bella Gypsy is releasing TWO space themed kits today because space kits are not just for boys!

First up for the girls we have Space Cadet. It’s pink, it’s fun and oh, so fun! Today is FWP Monday at Elemental Scraps so if you pick up Space Cadet you will get the Sketchology: Space Age for free! I will add that even though this kit is so girly…you can totally create a boy layout with it too! Several of the CT members are mommies to boys only and we had so much fun with this kit!
