I don't mind if you post your kits now but PLEASE do not post projects with your kit till July 1st our start date.

What a great idea... I will look through my stash to find the kit I want to work with.

No..it can be small or large..you can decide..BUT you have to be able to post a photo of it..so it can't be your whole stash or anything like that...lol

Rats...you're on to me! Ha ha!! Just kidding...I was thinking 10-12 patterned papers, some white cardstock, 2-3 alphas, and an assortment of embellishments.

I think that sounds like a good sized kit!

Now that I've looked through my kits, I have another question... one of the kit clubs I belonged to is the ScrapRoom. Their kit-of-the-month consists of 4 smaller page kits. Can I consider that one kit?

Yes...if you received than all together as your kit for that month I'll accept it.

What a fun idea! I don't have any kits so I guess I'll have to make my own. That's something I've always wanted to try but never got around to it. I just overthink too much and spend too much time trying to decide what to put in it. I'll have to watch the video - hopefully it will get me started!

That's the type of kit I was asking about earlier. I had gotten some of their kits earlier in the month from a great sale.

blbabe1234 · Mon Jun 29, 2015 12:38 pm

This is awesome! I am IN!

I'll check out my stash later today to see if I have any kits that I haven't used up. I have been really trying to use of my stash (its easy to do with the new home owner pics and doggie pics!). I'll also watch the video to see what I come up with.

Great challenge Sara! Love this idea!

Those are okay Deanna...I thought you were asking if you could say, create one kit..use it up...create another kit..use it up..Sorry!
If you bought a bundle that included a number of individual page kits, I would count the whole "bundle "as your kit. Sound fair??

I'm in! I'll try to take a pic when I get home and post it tomorrow. Is it ok if I have already started using the kit or does it have to be a brand new one? The only supplies I really have with me is the kit I put together to make my sons album. And, I've already made a couple pages from that (but it's plenty large enough that I could get quite a few more out of it)

Good question Em. I have the entire collecting memories collection and I have only done one page with it. And that was a month ago.

Since a lot of people are bringing up some very valid "kit" questions, I clarified the the definition of what a kit will be for this challenge..I hope that answers your questions.

Here is my kit. It includes punch out embellies and alphas and some sticker phrases, and I threw in some matching cardstock.

Yankeegirl · Tue Jun 30, 2015 8:11 pm

I don't get kits anymore because I already have too much stuff, but I buy a lot of COLLECTIONS! So I am going to go through what I have brought with me to this apartment and try to find enough product to do this challenge justice! Really sounds like a lot of fun! Will get my photo posted tomorrow!

Here is mine:

I had bought the entire collection of Fancy Pants "Collecting Memories". Papers, tickets, flair, stickers, alphas, frames, tags, pockets, you get the picture. I have made one layout with it. So I grabbed a few sheets (4) from MME (old collections) and 3 papers leftover from Basic Grey "Marjolane" collection to go with it. Along with matching cardstock. I also grabbed my burlap sheets and corrugated cardstock sheets. The color scheme goes with the collection very well!

I then looked through my stash and found some die cut word art, basic grey flowers, pink paisley flowers and sticker sheets that have 1-3 stickers left. And they all are about "memories". Oh, and I have had that clock embellie in my stash for over 5 yrs. And one of the FP sheets of pattern paper has clocks on it.

Found one star paper clip, and 3 sun paper clips. Oh and I added washi!

Layout #1 Hello
Layout #2 Growing Up
Layout #3 Baby Girl
Layout #4 Sure Mom, I've been good
Layout #5 Everyday
Layout #6 Love You!
Layout #7Cool Kid
Layout #8 The Windjammer
Layout #9 Now that's a burger!
Layout #10 Snoozing the Day Away
Layout #11Good Dog
Layout #12 Tug of War
Layout #13 My Girl
Layout #14 Another one bites the dust
