For the past few years, I've flirted with the idea of joining a kit club. Last September, I took the plunge and joined the
Cocoa Daisy kit club and really enjoyed it. After the winter CHA products started arriving in stores, I canceled my membership. My scrapbooking expenses were going way up as all of those wonderful goodies became available. I recognized this wasn't a problem after the summer show because those products tend to be heavily holiday focused - and I'm definitely an everyday moments kind of scrapper. I don't enjoy scrapping events or holidays. After I had exhausted my spending opportunities at the local stores, I decided to give another kit club a try -
Studio Calico. I really enjoyed
Cocoa Daisy. I just wanted to see what another kit club had to offer. I got my first kit this week -
Planetarium and scrapbooked all weekend. I loved it. So I thought I'd devote this post to kit clubs and why they are so wonderful.
- I get access to one of a kind products.
- I get an opportunity to try out products I would never buy in a store - which can be surprisingly wonderful.
- It takes the guess work out of matching products.
- It opens me up to new color combinations.
- It feeds the need for new crafty things in my house.
- It provides an online community and access to oodles of inspiration, challenges, and overall informational goodness.
- They do not push holiday products.
- They give me one more way to tell my story - and be motivated to do so.
I have a few other kits short listed to try out in the future. If I keep on scrapping regularly, I might consider adding a second kit (if it's in my budget - yes, i said it). I'll keep everyone posted. I hope everyone's having a lovely Monday. It might be time for me to start a count down to the day I get to see my nephew. Love him so much. Anyhoo...it's about that time, so....Until then...
