Create Your Own Kit

Have a look at this

These are all the 12 x 12 papers I have in my possession right now (excluding my DT papers).
The other day I was surfing the net trying to find a good monthly kit club as I felt I needed to get back into the swing of scrapping layouts more. I saw many awesome kits, most of which I will never be able to afford, so I had a brain storm.

I got all my papers out and counted them.

There are a lot of them.

Too many to justify buying more.

Have a guess how many...c'mon guess 

(no, REALLY -> guess..I will send a RAK of a selection of papers to the one closest to the actual number)

So I figured, why don't I take all my papers and create my own Kits from them? Also, I have equally as much card stock lying around gathering dust. Well, I got cracking and first sorted all papers by colours - geez, that was some hardship on me and I was hyperventilating that my anal-storing-by-manufacturer organisation was going up the creek.

In the end it was worth it, because I rediscovered papers I forgotten I had and I got all excited just thinking about how to use them. I whipped up a total of 24 Kits (that is two years worth of an average $25 saved) and challenged myself to use them all up before I am allowed to sub to another Kit Club.

My September 2010 Kit included:

3 Sheets of 12 x 12 {{ Cosmo Cricket }}

2 Sheets of 12 x 12 {{ Scenic Route }}

1 Sheet of 12 x 12 Rusty Pickle

3 Sheets of 12 x 12 card stock from {{ Bazzill }} & {{ Frances Meyer }}

endless supply of Alpha Stickers, Stamps, embellishments

And these are the projects I have created so far, but I am nowhere near done :)
