KIT, KIT HOORAY!

I LOVE kits, but let me just say, that I rarely buy them.  I have purchased a couple on my own and I have won several, from participating in various challenges or commenting on Blogs that are doing a giveaway.  Even though I love them, it is difficult for me to purchase one, because most normal kit prices run around $30 or so and then add on tax...Yikes!!  Now don't get me wrong, I order scrappy stuff online all the time.  But for my frail little psyche (and my wallet), it makes me feel better about a purchase, if it's $15 here or $10 there.  But spending a whole $40 or more at one time just freaks me out.  Weird, I know!!  :)  Because I probably actually end up spending more with the smaller purchases, than I would if I just bought the kit in the first place!!  But unfortunately, that is just how my brain works!!

Well, when I saw the September FITkit from Paper Issues, I just knew I HAD TO HAVE IT!!  It had some of the Everyday Eclectic papers from Echo Park and lots of fun little embellishment...wood veneers, washi tape, clouds, ribbons/twine, cameras!  So cute!  And the best part...the price is $25 on these kits and you can even get a discount.  Since Paper Issues and ScrapFIT teamed up with these kits, the DT members get a little higher discount which makes it even better!!

I have been able to crank out two layouts so far with this kit, and still have a ton of stuff left.  One I will share with you today and the next will be up this Tuesday, for my first post with Love My Tapes.

  
All of the papers and the majority of embellishments are all included in the Paper Issues kit.  The only things I used aside from the kit, are the black & white polka dot SMASH tape, Mister Huey's Spray Mist and Mask, and the American Crafts button.  And I know, we all have those pages that we finish and think, "well, at least it's done", and then there are those that end up being our favorites and we love them.  This is definitely one of my favorites!!  I always find that I am more pleased with pages that I complete, using kits because everything just works so well together.  You don't have to over think it and everything is right there at your fingertips!

If you are interested in purchasing the September FITkit (Eclectic Slide), you can head over the the Paper Issues Etsy shop and pick one up.
