, Monthly Kit Clubs

Ok, I know this has been brought up before but I am really wanting to join a club and wanted to get input on which ones you think are the best for the money and supplies you receive. Let me know which ones you like:-)

Poppy Ink is my favorite...
I have received Jenny Bowlin,Scrapbook lovers Dream,Little Red Scrapbook, and Zingboom...
I am interested in Storytellers, and Story of my life...so many kits...so little time!!

What are these kit clubs?

I just started doing the kit clubs and I get a kit from Mosh Posh! I LOVE it and I think it's reasonable for your money! Check it out at moshposh(dot)com!

I get from Little Red Scrapbook (dot com)...I think it's a good value. A monthly kit club is where you receive coordinated supplies each month for a certain amount of money. LRS is $29/month and this month I received 12 patterned paper s (Sassafras Lass), 4 sheets of cardstock (Bazzil), a package of Doodlebug flowers, a sheet of American Crafts Stickers, a piece of paisley chipboard, a yard of American Crafts ribbon, and a sheet of Sassafras Lass rub-ons. As you can see, it's a great variety. I Love it! You get a lot of bang for your buck.

i have checked into many there seems to be 100 differnt ones out there but i have never join one because i can not decide what one is best

Thank You all for these..great ideas and I will check them out:-)

I'm trying to send you a PM about the monthly kit club I get but I keep getting a message that they can't find you. How can I send you some info?

We just had this discussion in our Critique Group last week. My friend Shaunna wrote a really good article with a review of many and a long list of others to check out:

Hope that helps!!

Some GREAT sites it looks like...C

There are so many out there! I used to subscribe to Little Red Scrapbook, Club Scrap, and Self-Addressed. They were all great, but I found that I was too afraid to break apart the kits out of their ziploc bags and they just gathered dust on my shelf!

I totally want to subscribe to another one - I was actually looking today - Jenni Bowlin, Mosh Posh, Scrap Addict... Too many to choose from!

I also heard that http://www.willowtraders.com reviews all of the kits out there. You might want to check it out!

I just joined Little Red Scrapbook kit club. I think you have to figure out what you're looking for in a kit and then narrow it down from there. For me, here's what I considered:

1. Do I like most of the past kits?
2. Do their colors/styles of pp look like something I'd actually use, yet slightly different than anything I'd pull together on my own (I'm not great at coordinating pp, and I'm not a fan of pink)?
3. Do I want mostly paper or also coordinating embellis? (for me, I wanted both)
4. Are there options for add ons?
5. Cost - does it seem reasonable for the amount of items sent?
6. Shipping - what's regular shipping costs?
7. Can I "opt out" of one month if I don't care for the kit?
8. Do I like their design team inspriation ideas?
9. Does the kit fit with my general "style" of sb?
10. Do the kits offer variety from month to month?

It wasn't crazy hard for me to narrow it down to the top 2-3 clubs that I just loved, but it was hard to pick just one. I figured I'll do one for a few months, then maybe switch to a different one. I also thought this might keep me out of my LSS for a while, hence save some $$ (I can dream, right??).

HTH!

Here are links to 2 threads from Product Reviews discussing various kit clubs, you can also do a search for "kit clubs" or "monthly kits" & probably find more threads:

I have ordered kits from Scraptivity, ScrapGoods and Club Scrap. I've loved them all but my favorite has been Scraptivity - you get lots of stuff that you really use up, not to mention cool embellies, clear stamps, newsletter etc. and each kit focuses on a technique. And I love Club Scrap's high quality and unique papers - they will always have a special place in my heart - but their extras are sometimes too theme-specific. I used to have a Club Scrap Paper Jr. membership so I could get a small sampling each month & order more as I desired from their members-only shopping area. ScrapGoods also focuses on a technique a month but I've found that their techniques are a little more time consuming than I'd like, though their kits are great & people love 'em!

Check out various kits' sites to see whose style matches more w/ yours... Some places let you buy kits individually so you can check 'em out (though members pay less per individual kits).

Have fun choosing...somewhere there is a kit club for YOU!

I **love**

EyeCandykits.com for vinatagy romanticness
PoppyInk.com for bright happiness and
ZingBOOMkits.com for eclectic funkiness

A new one just launched today-- http://www.itkitstudio.com that has a cool format of a large kit every other month with a smaller supporting/preview kit for the in-between months.

Call me crazy but i subscribed to two: Transparent Touches and Scrapbook Obsessions

I know, I know!

A kit club is a monthly subscription to scrapbooking supplies . Different clubs have different offerings. Usually there is cardstock, patterned paper, embellies, chipboard...all coordinated and many have a little idea newsletter to go along with it.

I subscribe to Memory Works Express monthly kit-it is like Christmas each month!

I would love to check out other clubs, too, but can't quite afford it!

I had subscribed to moshposh for two years and absolutely LOVED it. I stopped because I had soo many kits and wanted to do some of them and got high speed internet and that money went towards that. I agree with looking at what you like and deciding from there. susan a

One page at a time have AWESOME kits...you can check out my gallery for previews on their kits and also on my blog!! Their site is www.onepageatatime {dot com}.

Yes, I second One Page at a Time and I love that this kit isn't so matchy matchy and has a lot of unique items that I have never seen before...

I also have to plug Scrappy Giraffe. The owner puts together the most Lux urious kit I have ever seen. You WILL get a flat rate priority box packed full! It is amazing! The product is superb!

I also get and LOVE Apron Strings (they have many options), Personal Scrapper and Tie One On for other stuff like ribbon.

I have to put a plug in for morethanscrapbooking. I heard it is under new ownership and their June kit is gorgeous!

I sell scrapbook kits, you don't have to suscribe, if you would like more info PM me
