One of my family’s favorite vacation spots is Sea World. They love the whales, dolphins and the sharks! During the summer, we make lots of visits to our local aquarium as well. My kids really love that you can touch the rays and starfish, and they love looking at the octopus and the sea horses too! Since I have so many photos of them in these places, and since they are all such water-loving little swimmers, I thought a new deep sea kit was in order for the summertime!
Ocean Safari is a cute ocean and sea life themed kit. It includes 22 textured papers, full alpha, over 55 unique elements and 23 word bits. As a bonus, when you purchase the Ocean Safari kit, you will get the Ocean Safari Page Titles for free!
Ocean Safari is 20% off during Happy Hour through Friday, HERE at After Five Designs. You can take an additional 15% off your purchase price through the weekend using this coupon code: KA_OS_15
Ocean Safari Page Titles are free with your purchase!
My creative team created lots of cute layouts using Ocean Safari. I have posted a few here. To see more examples of what you can create using this kit, click on the additional images HERE in my shoppe.
Choosing a name for this kit was so difficult because there were so many amazing names to choose from! Thanks to everyone who took the time to suggest a name for the “name this kit and win it” contest. I want to thank Bethanne for her name suggestion! I love the name “Ocean Safari” and thought it was perfect for this kit!! I also really loved the suggestion “Octopus’s Garden” by Zin from the Alps. I’m a Beatles lover and I was so tempted to choose that name! I have a free copy of the Ocean Safari kit for both of you! Please email me at kristin.aagard@gmail.com so I can arrange send a copy to you!
If you would like a 12x12 Quick Page and/or a Facebook timeline cover QP, head on over to my FB page HERE. Click the little freebie tab up near the top and download them for free!
I also have a fun freebie for you here. This one is kind of different than any I’ve done before! Some of my creative team used these on their pages, and I really think it’s a fun addition to the kit. You can use these Ocean Safari Watery Overlays to create a fun, underwater effect on your page. Drag an overlay (or several of them) onto your paper, elements, photo, or your whole page. Change the blending mode to overlay (or play around with the settings until you find one you like). I hope you enjoy playing with these!

Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies (please, notice the new url for my blog), under the Page 2 post on Jun. 28, 2012. Thanks again.
Love the new kit. Thanks for the freebie!
Love the kit and name you picked. Congrats to the winner! Thank you for the wonderful freebie, love 'em. Whenever my daughter and I go to Florida, we go to Sea World!
Thank you, Kristin! these look cool! (hahaha)
Thanks for the watery overlays! They are so fab. Love the new kit and the name.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Congrats to the Winner!
Ocean "Safari"? Isn't a "Safari" an Africian HUNTING expedition, meaning desert, not water, and land animals, namely lions and elephants, not saltwater marine life. I learn some new meanings for words every day!
Octupus's Garden would have been a flagrant disrguard for the Beatles copyrights. They are really strict about their copyrights. oops
Thanks so much everyone!! I'm glad you like the kit and the freebie! :)
btmo-pat, thank you for your comment. So sorry you didn't like the name I chose! I just thought it was a fun play on the word "safari" which, you are correct, can be a hunting expedition. But also can mean an exploration or a journey involving animals. Mostly I just thought it was a cute name that appealed to me. :)
About the Beatles, I'm always respectful to other's copyrights. (And trademarks.) I just wanted to award more than one free copy of my kit and since I like the Beatle's, that name suggestion caught my eye. :)
Thanks so much for leaving me a comment hon!
THANK YOU ;~}
This kit is awesome!! Love all the little creatures. Thanks for the great overlays.
What a fun kit! Thank you for the neat overlays...can't wait to try them.
Ooooooo... what fun overlays! Love 'em! Thank you! :)
Oh, thank you so much for your overlays. I needed one yesterday and I had to use a plastic wrap overlay.
would love to try these overlays.. thanks!
I've used the plastic wrap filter before and you can get a cute effect! I have a plug in that lets me create some cool water effects now. I'm glad the are useful for other people too!
I just love your kits. This one is amazing. You have the luckiest CT in digi-land. Of course they are super talented, but lucky too.
Thanks for the overlay, I cant wait to play around with this.
Such a cute new kit, thank you for the overlays, hopefully I can play with them soon.
Cool freebie! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much. This will be great for all those summer pool pics!
