Jack didn't realize it, but he had run the ship into a chocolate mountain... how lucky of them. They scooped up enough chocolate to supply some sanity and kept on their journey. Taking her "Choose your own adventure" book out of her bag, Red decided to go...

along with Jack and the chocolate, and leave the Wicked Witch in the hands of the Flying Monkey. But before they sailed off in the flying ship, Red waved her Magic Wand over the mess below them, and the monkeys embraded the Witch with loving arms and chocolate-glazed smiles. The Witch, dazed by the generosity of her new blood sister, waved goodbye to the pair in the sky, and told the Monkeys to prepare for a journey designed to aid Red.

Meanwhile, Red and Jack headed for.....

scrapgirls "Locker" forever to digiscrap!. But did the harddrive get fixed?

[sprinklz]

Scrap Girls locker in Storybook Kingdom? How did that happen you may ask...

Through a secret hidden door at the base of the chocolate mountain that led to the deep dark underworld of cyberspace. But they were frightened down there, so Red and Jack reappeared in Storybook KIngdom where Red used the every powerful Magic Wand to whisk them back to the woods near dear Grandmother's house.

Unfortunately, Red's compass was off and they landed directly in front of the cozy cottage occupied
by the Seven Dwarfs, which was currently under attack by the Big Bad Wolf.

Eager to help, Red and Jack quickly...

swooped in and Red zapped the BBW with the magic wand, and he quickly fell into a deep trance, a la Sleeping Beauty. (What would wake him from his slumber? Aaah, that's for another story!). As Red and Jack ran in the cottage to check on the Seven Dwarves, they noticed that it wasn't truly a cozy little fairytale cottage at all, but a cottage industry run by seven little geeky dwarves!! Yes, the 7 were secret computer experts, running a computer repair business deep in the middle of the forest! At last, Red knew she'd found the magic answer to fixing the broken hard drive!

"Quick!" she said to the dwarves. "I need the most able of you to fly with me and Jack to our broken hard drive, and apply your magic repair talents. It is truly a matter of life or death!"

Doc stepped forward, and said, "I'll go! I'm at your service, Red!". They hopped on board the ship, hovering quietly outside the door to the cottage, and sped away, in the direction of the broken hard drive. But unbeknownst to them, ......

Granny when hearing of all of the drama surrounding the quest became concerned and notified Mother Nature and Father Time. Father Time watched carefully as things unfolded making sure that all of his Fairytale Land children were playing fair. Mother Nature being moved by the kindness of Red to help Choo choo achieve his dream and of the new bond formed by Red and Witch decided to make all things right in Fairytale Land, fixing hard drive, choo choo became a famous character in a children's book on perseverance and Red and Jack lived in the house on the hill with all of their sea faring, scrapbooking children. But then Jack secret child from a past relationship came and everything changed for the...

better, because the truth is always better than continuing to live a lie, isn't it? But who was that secret love child? Why, it was none other than ....

[photocrazy]

.. Bella (in Beauty and the Beast) ! she had been adopted by her father and never knew about the truth until recently. She did some research and found her parents were none other then Jack Sparrow and Snow White's wicked stepmother Queen! Bella was.......

[reach4astar]

a handsome child (she did, quite fortunately, take after her father!), with a fairytale disposition -- when she was good, she was very, very good -- and when she was bad, well -- some would say she was even better for the fairytale business! Her childhood exploits were legendary, and she certainly kept Jack and Red on the their toes! Of course, there was great rivalry between Bella and her half-siblings, mostly because Bella (gasp! ) still scrapbooked with paper! Red swore, however, for a more harmonious household by converting Bella to digi, and so Red planned a trip to visit Ro, the digi-dwarf.

The meeting was planned for a grand autumn day in Scrap Girls Park, with a picnic and laptops and oodles of chocolate. Everything was going splendidly until......

[OrianaVianey]

... a very strange storm came quickly to the picnic!!
Believe it or not, falling from the sky were...

[photocrazy]

falling from the sky were snowflakes! Everyone stood in awe until V, the "Wicked" (?) Witch of the West came and demanded she join them! She saw Bella and said.........

[reach4astar]

"Bella!". "It's been far too long since I've laid eyes on you," the Wicked Witch continued. "Your mother apprenticed you to me when you were just a baby, in order for you to increase your paper scrapping skills, and in return for your mother's acquisition of evil power in her realm. But you wandered off into the forest one day when you were just a toddler, and I haven't seen you since then," Wicked wistfully remembered, with just a hint of her villianous personality inflected in her comments, which was still more than enough to place everyone on anticipatory edge.

"Don't get any ideas, Wicked," cautioned Red. "Bella was not only legally adopted by her father after she was placed in an orphanage after being found wandering in the woods by the 7 Dwarves, but her mother had no right to apprentice her without her father's consent in the first place!" Red's eyes now showed the intensity of her emotions as she angrily warned Wicked, "We will not let you separate her from her family, nor will she become an agent for the advancement of paper scrapping! We're a totally digital scrapbooking family now!"

And with that announcement, Red then reached for the Magic Wand, but before she could apply its magic, ......

...the pallet fairie shows up and said "please don't fight! Paper and digi can live in perfect harmony. Is time for a change and make our world of tolerance and love. You need to embrace the step forward age of scrappin. We are now hybrid"
And wavin her pallet she makes appear a wonderful book with tons of wonderfull projects mixing digi, paper and beyond.
All of them were in awe. Bella aproached the book and the first project that catch her eye was...

the blood ran blue of course,but only for a moment because they were zig safety blade scissors. she finished a beautiful hybrid LO and decided to have a grand celebration in all of fairyland to commemorate this ocasion...

[reach4astar]

so her father Jack climbed aboard his ship, and flew through the Kingdom with banners & flyers inviting all residents to a celebration at the castle.

This was not just any celebration, however, but a true royal ball! The night arrived for the party, and the residents of the kingdom began arriving in fairytale carriages, alighting upon the red carpet leading up the palace steps and into the ballroom. Bella was present at the doorway, to greet each and every guest, and to invite them to explore the ballroom, and all of the scrapbook supplies, and to make their own creations.

The ballroom was magnificient! The first thing awaiting the guests was....

[OrianaVianey]

.. agorgeous scrapping banner made with pop outs of everyone in the story. Including V, granny, the flying monkies and of couse Red Jack and Bella.
Everyone were so happy and at the top of the stair appear Red wearing...

[reach4astar]

...the most beautiful Red Silk Cape! She and Jack made a grand entrance, to the applause of all of the guests, who were busily trying out the digi and paper products in all sorts of wonderful creations!

The food tables were overflowing with the most scrumptious delicacies, all made with chocolate, of course! Even the beverages were flowing from chocolate fountains!

The guests danced on the terrace in the moonlight, and celebrated their wonderful kingdom, while Red & Jack & Bella looked on with smiles and pride, because of the flourishing of scrapbooking within the kingdom. As the full moon shone brightly above the dancers on the terrace, a glittering figure appeared above them in the sky, and slowly descended over the terrace. Why, it was the Fairy Godmother, and she....

[charming4106]

have to say the beginning went best but I guess the chaos was kind of entertaining

[reach4astar]

the wide variety of fairytale characters who made an appearance, and the many places to which they travelled in search of answers to their scrapbooking problems! The Storybook Kingdom is happy and harmonious overall, and it is scrapbooking that truly unites all of the residents, even when....

[reach4astar]

more creativity (and chocolate, too, of course! ) and scrapbooking fun, whether we gather in the Storybook Kingdom, or.....

[OrianaVianey]

at the Scrapgirls forums and gallery where everyone...

[reach4astar]

...is kind and thoughtful, and oh-so-creative!! (And it helps that everyone loves chocolate, too! hehe!).

And so the grand adventure in Storybook Kingdom, regretfully draws to a close. But the memories....

[OrianaVianey]

the memories are branded in digi forever.
So we all have to remember to preserve our memories and that is why we all have the gift of scrapping...
The only think me miss is...

[photocrazy]

The chaos and craziness of making this story. But will there be a sequel? Everyone thinks.......

[sprinklz]

that would be a great idea!

As it always happens, our story must come to a close. What will the future bring for our fearless heroes? Only time will tell.

THE END!
