Can I ask when does the new kit appear for the next month please?? So can see what it is and what the add ons are??

Thanks!

[donna russell]

normally around the 1st of the month. if you go onto the forum they normally have piccies and a good description before it goes live on the website. i've had my last kit..so will see hohw long it takes me to re-sub. this is in my top 2 of kits

[katie squirrel]

Thanks... have had a look on the forum and it says the range is Junkitz shabby chic..... looks quite nice..

[Carole]

Oh yes, the pics have just gone up. I like the look of this one. Yummy colours :)

[CarolineO]

had a peek at the new kit and its lovely, wee bit disappointed that theres no alphabet between the main kit and the add on embellishments though! (Only cause i'm an alphabet freak!)

[lalamuppet]

well mine is here (quickest I've ever got this kit), to be honest I'm really not all that keen on it, so if anyone wanted it but missed out before it sold let me know as I'm considering selling it

[CarolineO]

Got mine today, loving it! Though I had to content myself with just a quick rummage in the box till lunchtime as the boss was in and out of my ofice all morning!
Love the look of next month's kit too.

[lalamuppet]

I'm quite annoyed....I guessed what the line of papers would be on the message board (sassafras lass sew fine) but they have acknowledged that I guessed correctly but teken down my posts relating to it. Are they allowed to just take down my posts??

[CarolineO]

Ooo do you get the free kit prize so for guessing correctly?

[lalamuppet]

I doubt it :( I think that is only for someone who guesses the guest designer

[lalamuppet]

mine's here...not playing for a while though :(

[CarolineO]

oh is it gorgeous, Kate? mine is delayed this month as I didn't have dosh in my cc on time, and they're waiting on new supplies.

[lalamuppet]

it's nice, but I though my subscription had finished or else I would have skipped it as I already have the papers from the Jenni Bowlin project kit last month.

have signed up for one more month with all add ons just to give it one last chance but to be honest I don't think that the things they have been doing are really 'me'

[katie squirrel]

hmmm... I have missed the postie today - hope this is what I have missed! I did 3 months sub and have been pleased with thekit -although have to say more girly than I would use probably, but still nice stuff.... cannot decide whether to re-sub or not?!?! wonder if we couol have more boy stuff.

[katie squirrel]

Yes.. it was my LRS kit! have to say am really pleased with it... wasnt sure abou the colours, but seeing IRL they are lovely. This is the last of my 3 month subs, and think will leave at that for time being as have soooo many kits unused, and am running out of space (and money!)... but would buy again as am pleased with contents - think its good VFM!

[donna russell]

my kit arrived today. really gorgeous. my subs have run out but i will sub again when i've used some of my hoards of kits as they as fab value

[CarolineO]

Hi guys,
Got my June and July kits today and they're so fabby!
Unfortunately though Maegan forgot I had ordered the add ons with the June kit so I didn't get them, but I did get the stamps from the JUly kit that I'd said I didn't want, oh well a friend is going to take them off my hands.
Really love all the rest though and so looking forward to the August kit now.

[Kdarli]

I can´t wait to get mine ... I resubbed last month and so should be getting my kit anytime, although I asked for it to be sent a little later as I´m on holiday at the moment. August´s kit look gorgeous, so can´t wait for that one either! :)

[lalamuppet]

still haven't received my july kit :( think I'm gonna have to email them

[CarolineO]

Kate, far as I know they should be mailing this week, ooooh just thought , thats the august one they're mailing this week. I had my July one a wek ago and Cathann got hers the following day I think.

[Kdarli]

I asked them to hold my July kit until 14 August because I´m away and I´m hoping it will be there on my return ... fingers crossed! I´m so looking forward to getting it and Augusts looks just as gorgeous too. :)

Hope you get your´s soon Kate.

[Kdarli]

I received my August and September kits today and am VERY pleased with them. The August one is just gorgeous, love all the pink! Septemer's is yummy too ... I can see lots of layouts coming!! July was my first kit after having a break for a while and I got loads of layouts out of it and still have enough papers for a couple more, so I'm very glad I resubbed.

I started subbing to the stamps each month from this month too, thought I'd build up my collection a little and they're really nice too. :)

[CarolineO]

woo hoo! it hopefully won't be too long before they're here too!

[lalamuppet]

still haven't got july...

[CarolineO]

OOO kate, i know they said there would be delays but this is a long time on its way to you.

[lalamuppet]

yeah I know! I have emailed them again just waiting....

a lot of US post seems to be taking its time getting to me recently....ordered last month's Homegrown Trilogy kit and still haven't received that :( but my Jenni Bowlin Kit did arrive today!!!

[Kdarli]

Oh no Kate, what a nightmare for you. Surely it can't still be customs when it has taken this long?? I hope you get it very soon.

[Kdarli]

woo hoo! it hopefully won't be too long before they're here too!

I think I read on Maegan's blog that the last were sent on Friday, so hopefully they should all be here by the end of the week. They really are worth the wait. :rolleyes:

[donna russell]

just got a note to collect a parcel. hopefully its the august & sept kits. not too sure about the a to z papers..hope they will better irl

thansk, Donna

[CarolineO]

didn't get mine yet :( hopefully this week. Just signed up for another 6 months this morning too.

[Angela]

I was hoping the September kit would be here by now......or is it that I'm just impatient:lol: :lol: I've had a break from kits but I had a moment of weakness & resubbed for 3mth, this being the first of the 3. I just love LRS kits & I'm soooooooo weak willed!:lol:

[glorious19]

I have just ordered 2 previous kits, I haven't subbed as I sub to a few anyway but just wanted to say these kits are fabulous. I can't believe how many layouts they put up on the web for ideas too. When one of my other kit sub runs out I will definatly be swapping.
They arrived really quick too.
Susan

[Efemera]

Hi,
I've just subbed for 3 months...have I done the right thing?...what can I expect? Only had one kit from another supplier.
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

Don't think you'll be disappointed, lush goodies in the kit and the adon embellishment pack is great value.

[donna russell]

my kits are here. yippee! this is one of my all time 2 fav kits of all time and i've subbed to a few. always loads of stuff in the kits, and you can buys the add ons if you want to..or not to keep the costs down. always great to tell you if there is a problem & keep you informed. this is my 3rd 6 month sub so you shouldn't be disappointed.
looking forward to seeing the new stamp kits from october

[CarolineO]

oh please let the postman bring mine tomorrow!

[Angela]

I'm still waiting too.........I shall lie in wait for the postie & bite his ankles if I dont get my parcel soon:lol: :lol:

[CarolineO]

No kit for me either today. I read on LRS forum that some American ladies haven't received theirs yet either. Anyone here got theirs today? Was really hoping I'd have it for a weekend crop I'm going to. :(

[Angela]

Still no sign here:(

[CarolineO]

Got mine today, spent lunch time drooling over them. Loads of goodies.

[Kdarli]

Yeah! Glad you got them Caroline. :)

[Angela]

Mine arrived too. It was delivered not long after I'd gone out........so guess who had to pop down to the PO to collect?? Very nice colours huh?? Did you have the add on Caroline, I had the ribbon & add on embellies.....delish.:wub:

[Efemera]

Hi,
I'm new to kits.........is this the September one or the October one?
:D :D :D

[Angela]

I've just had the September one. The Oct kit will ship from about the 15th (I think).:rolleyes:

[CarolineO]

Girls, Can ye tell me did ye get a tube of heidi Swapp paint with the September kit, I see theres a pic of it with the add on embellishments but I didn't receive it.

[Aristoscrap]

Hello people - I have just subscribed to this kit. I hope its good! Any ideas when the October kit ships please? I have managed to get oone as it wasn't sold out.

[Kdarli]

Hi Chrissie

The kits normally ship on the 15th of the month ... but I haven't recieved mine yet, so not sure if there is a delay. Hopefully they should arrive any time. :)

[CarolineO]

Chrissie, I doubt you'll be disappointed!
Since baby cade came along the regular posting of kits seems to have taken a turn for the worse, though its always the manufacturers really!
Signed up for my second 6 months lately.

[Efemera]

Hi,
Signed up for mine about 4 weeks ago....problems with getting CC to go through! Don't know why....Finally had to use different card so should be on the way..hope it's worth the wait!
:D :D :D

[Efemera]

Hi,
Kits arrived this morning...one back issue, Feb. I think, great for altered stuff
and October..not my colours but thats why I subscribed...make me use things I would't normally choose.
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

Got my kit today too, love it!

[Angela]

I'm just hoping my kit lands soon, I'm getting a tad 'twitchy':lol: :lol:

[Kdarli]

I'm just hoping my kit lands soon, I'm getting a tad 'twitchy':lol: :lol:

:lol: Me too!!

[CarolineO]

The jig saw bits are really nice in this one.

[Efemera]

Hi,
Was thinking...jig saw what jig saw? realised it was an add on ....DOH!
Is anyone going to post any piccies of their LO's
:D :D :D

[Angela]

Still nowt here either.........:ph34r:

[Kdarli]

Or here! :(

[Aristoscrap]

OK - I am confused! Doesn't take much!

I just went to the site and the kit description is there, and I want it - (November that is!). I signed up for six months though - so does that mean they will automatically ship Novembers to me? Or do I have to add it to my cart again? And, I want the ribbons, so do I just buy those? AND...... I want an old kit too, so how do I do that? Sorry to ask so many Q's, but this is all abit new to me!

Thanks to anyone who isn't totally confused by my rambling and can answer this for me!

[Efemera]

Hi,
Just signed up myself..got Octobers kit, thought they came automatically but had to say if you wanted extras..Will watch this thread to find out!
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

Yes you will get November alright but you probably have to email them to add the add ons, thats what I had to do in my first 6 months anyway, but then when I signed up for the second 6 months jerry emailed me and asked did I want to get the embellishemnts regularly, to which I said yes, so I am presuming I don't have to email them each month now...........maybe I better just in case!! :wacko:
I haven't signed up for the stamps, didn't really like last months to be honest.
As for the previous kit I think you just order it as normal and it will be sent out with your next kit.
Hope that helps but someone that knows more may be able to enlighten you better.

[Kdarli]

Yes, I agree with Caroline. Just email them telling them exactly what you want and I'm sure they'll sort you out. I emailed at the start of this sub to ask to get the stamps every month and that wasn't a problem.

I'm really hoping that my kit will come today. :)

[Aristoscrap]

New November kit is now up in glorious technicolour ladies!!

[Efemera]

Hi,
Just had a look! This is seriously yummy! Have asked for the stamps this month.. glad I did!
:D :D :D

[donna russell]

i always email jerry and say which add-ons i want. not been tempted yet by the stamps, but have gone for everything else this month. this loooks like one of their best kits to date. lovin all of the 6 papers.

[CarolineO]

Are any of you guys getting the add on stamps?
I loved the sassafrass lass ones and the maya road foam ones but this month and last month's offerings,,,no thanks! The tin they're in looks nice though.

[Angela]

Altho I didnt order the stamps for last month, they sent them. They are nice but I wouldnt have chosen to have them, same this month (not ordered). The tin is quite nice (the kit is lush eh?).:D

[Efemera]

Hi,
Have ordered the stamps this month, I'm new to kits but this looks yummy..
I'm a stamper first and then a scrapbooker so they were a must this month..why not put unwanted ones on the marketplace?..I'm sure lots of people would be interested.
:D :D :D

[Aristoscrap]

HI Ladies!

I am still waiting for my October kit - is anyone else? Can't wait for Novembers, but I wish they would do the gallery quicker so I can have a look!

[lalamuppet]

still waiting for october too....I'm not subscribed any more but this is a replacement fot the august kit which never arrived...

[ayyjay]

Has anyone got their kit for Oct yet - I was late ordering mine but still not here!!

[CarolineO]

Hi Jane, I got my October kit on 31 October, checked the date here :)
The November one is due for shipping round now.
If you haven't had October I'd get in touch with them asap.

The October kit is lovely, I've used it to make a few LO's now.

[Efemera]

Hi,
Can we see what you've done ?... havn't used mine yet!
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

Ya sure, I'll upload them tonight.

[ayyjay]

I have looked at their site for months now and it seems good value, the October kit just jumped out at me it def does look yummy!!

Cannot wait to see your layouts!!

[lalamuppet]

I posted one I did with the october kit yesterday! it's here! (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=95854&cat=500&ppuser=8816)

[CarolineO]

Had a look, kate and its lovely!

[Efemera]

Hi there,
That's a great looking page.......must get mine out of the packet
:D :D :D

[lalamuppet]

thanks guys :)

[CarolineO]

Hi gals!
I posted a pic of a LO that uses mainly materials from the October kit.

[Efemera]

Hi,
Love what you've done with the flowers, Is it OK to use that idea?
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

Yep, work away, i've lifted the idea from some Aussie's whose blogs I've been stalking, u can get links to their sites on todays entry in my blog.

[CarolineO]

Got my November kit today, way hay!! Its lovely, love the little tin of chipboard swirls.

[ayyjay]

Got my November kit today, way hay!! Its lovely, love the little tin of chipboard swirls.

Postie has just been and delivered mine too and it is simply Beautiful!! Can't wait to use it - I bought the extras too and they are yummy!!

[Aristoscrap]

I am stunned - my kit also arrived today with add-ons and it is absolutely fantastic! What about those swirls? And the papers? And the rub-ons? I am in love!!!!!!!

[ayyjay]

I have a piccy on my blog if anyone wants to see it!! I am about to use it - I just had to LOL

[CarolineO]

jane, you have to show us a pic of your creation!

[Efemera]

Hi,
Got mine this morning.....just looked at your chipboard swirls...wish I had gotten those, got the stamps though..just have to do something with it all now!
:D :D :D

[adele]

please can anybody tell me how much this kit costs in postage?

[Aristoscrap]

$14.00. I ordered two kits (a past one and a current one) and still paid $14.00 with an embellishment kit in there as welL! Very good value, only slightly more than you pay for QVC P&P!

[adele]

Thank you

[CarolineO]

OOO I had forgotten I have Nov 05 coming too along with my Dec kit, way hay!

[Efemera]

Hi,
Got my December kit yesterday!........quite nice,but not as nice as Novembers, must do something with them!
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

time to start stalking the postie then!

[donna russell]

thanks for the heads up. got a card from the post office today, so its probably the kit. great to have them so early.

[Angela]

Has anyone had their doodle genie yet from ages ago???:unsure:

[donna russell]

yes it was my dec kit. it looks much better irl. didn't order any add ons this month. the flowers are lovely. hope the rest of you get yours soon

[CarolineO]

Just wondering have any of the rest of you uk girls had your december kit? Haven't had mine yet. Got the doodlegenie last week.

[donna russell]

have you checked out the forum. lrs are offering online classes.i have signed up for jan's class. mini-projects and cards. sounds a bargain for $10 and i get to use up some stash

thansk, donna

[debbiem]

hello!
I've just signed up for this kit & am sooo excited as it looks fab :wub:

I saw the class too, but wasn't sure as i don't know what her stuff is like - do you reckon it'll be good then?

[donna russell]

scarletts work is fab. she's my fav from the lrs design team. i think it works out at about £6 so its worth a go. i spend more than that on magazines each month, and hopefully it will get me using my kit in different ways, maybe make some gifts along the way. i will let you know how i get on with it.

the kits are fantastic value for money.

thanks, donna

[debbiem]

thanks donna - i think i might give it a go then :) at least it'll make me feel more justified for buying the kits lol!!

[cathann]

Just wondering have any of the rest of you uk girls had your december kit? Haven't had mine yet. Got the doodlegenie last week.

Hi Caroline, Cath here! Just registered here.
I got my Dec kit in the last week of the month - it was at the post office when I got back from ireland on the 28th.
Hope you've had it by now.
Cath

[donna russell]

cath
have you had your password back yet for the jan class? i'm still waiting.

thanks, donna

[Angela]

Just wondering have any of the rest of you uk girls had your december kit? Haven't had mine yet. Got the doodlegenie last week.


Got mine too...its much larger than I thought it would be. The dopey postman folded it in half to put it thru the letterbox!!!:wacko: It didnt damage it too much, fortunately.

Am having a little break from the kits for a few months til I've used some up.:unsure: It wont last long tho.........I'm sooooooo weak willed.:lol:

[donna russell]

angela, know what you mean. last time i only managed to miss out on one month before resubbing!

[CarolineO]

Hi guys and welcome Cath.
Got my kit on Friday last but they never sent me the Nov 05 kit I had ordered at the start of Dec. I've emailed them but no reply, neither have I had the heidi swapp paint i was missing from September and I was told I'd get a refund for it but that never showed either. It's prob only me but I'm a wee bit disenchanted with them of late, nothing major, just lots of ickle things like above.

[cathann]

Caroline,
That's a shame. I have had good service so far (touch wood). My doodle genie was sent but lost in the post, so I had that re-sent, but apart from that its been fine. I could probably put up with a lot to get those kits though!
I haven't had my password yet, will give it a week or so before emailing as I have a few other things to get done before I really get into the kit, and it will be late Jan before that comes anyway.
I am finishing 2 Christmas mini books off and then need to do something for mils birthday. I just received an Addison kit and am thinking of a box with a mini albun in, and maybe 5 or 6 home made cards as she's a card addict. But now can't find a box the right size - don't want it to be too big or I'll feel obliged to put a big album in it! But all my smaller ones won't take any of the cards I have.
And also I really love these papers and am not sure I want to give them away!
Cath

[CarolineO]

Cath, intrigued by this Addison kit, can you pm me a link please?

[donna russell]

cath
i got my pass word today for the classes. they start on the 15th.
caroline i've always had a good service from lrs. my stamps didn't appear one month so they just refunded the money. hope you get it sorted out as its my fav kit ever!

thansk, donna

[Hysteri-CAL]

Could anyone please tell me what the cost of postage is on top of the kit please ???

[Efemera]

Hi,
About $14.....maybe a little more if you get extras...

[cathann]

Cath, intrigued by this Addison kit, can you pm me a link please?

I've PM'd you, hope you got it OK.

[CarolineO]

Got it cath, thanks!

[adele]

when does this kit start arriving?

[Efemera]

Hi,
Should start arriving around about now...got my Dec one about the 20th..have subbed for another 3 months, just used Nov today, will be in my gallery shortly!

[adele]

Thanks - last months was my first and wasnt sure when they usually arrived.
Last months is still in the box - must get it out will check out your Gallary later

[debbiem]

this months is my first, but according to the lrs message board they haven't shipped them all yet as they had a delay getting some of the bits for it. They're hoping to have them shipped by the end of the week, so i guess it'll be another couple of weeks til we get them :( am soooo looking forward to getting this!

[Efemera]

Hi,
Great news....kit arrived this morning........bad news ended up in A&E, fell down the stairs in a rush trying to get the door open.....nothing broken and the kit is great too!
:D :D :D

[debbiem]

wow that is pretty serious - glad you're ok! Mine arrived this morning too & its fab :wub:

[CarolineO]

OMG!! And sorry just a bit of LOL here too!
Should the kits have government health warnings??
Take care of yourself and put your feet up for the rest of the day if you can...and just stroke your kit.
Will be stalking the postie now...

[donna russell]

my kits arrived too. looks fab for my boy piccies

thansk, donna

[Efemera]

Hi,
I have actually used It!...It's in my gallery....
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

been round to your gallery Efemera and you have gorgeous LO's there, and the cutest cat!!! Got my kit yesterday, well impressed!!
Used it last night too. will let ye know when a pic is posted.

[debbiem]

Great LO - I've started a lo with mine but not finished it yet. :)

[CarolineO]

Got my kit today, its fabilicious!

[debbiem]

I agree completely - mine turned up yesterday & I love it :wub: I almost skipped it as i didn't think it was really me, but i've done one lo with it already!

[CarolineO]

I was going to skip too debbie, cause I kinda felt it suited LO's with snow maybe. Going to London tomorrow till Monday so hoping to use it to make a mini album of the weekend.

[debbiem]

oooh, that'll be lovely - hope you have a fab time :)

I was really lucky to get quite a few snowy pics of my kids when it snowed a few weeks ago & the bright colours really work with the 'fun' piccies.

most of the papers can be used for anything though...

[cathann]

I was going to skip too debbie, cause I kinda felt it suited LO's with snow maybe. Going to London tomorrow till Monday so hoping to use it to make a mini album of the weekend.

Have a great trip Caroline!

I got mine this week too, and was puzzled to see that I had ghost flowers and not snowflakes. Did anyone else get these? I'm sure I can use them but thought we were getting snowflakes, and I can't find the list for the kit anywhere.

Is anyone else doing the classes? I've really enjoyed them so far.

Cath

[debbiem]

Caroline - thanks for the comments on my lo's :)

cath - that's really weird - i got ghost snowflakes in mine! I've not done any classes yet...

[Kdarli]

I got mine yesterday and am really pleased with it ... I'm using it to scrap my pics of when it snowed last month. I've done 1 layout and started another already!

I hadn't noticed about the ghost shapes until you mentioned it ... but I got stars, so different again. You can see the list of what we should have got here (http://lrsclub.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=module&module=gallery&cmd=si&img=1173) and you are right, they should have been snowflakes. It's a shame that I didn't get the right ones, but the stars still work fine!

This one is the end of my 6 months sub and I'm not resubbing for now. I do love the kits, but I find it frustrating when they kits are never sent out on time. :(

[adele]

Anybody still waiting? I havent got mine

[donna russell]

my kit came last week as well. hope yours comes soon adele.
great & funky. can't wait to use it..but sorting out craft room so my stash is all over the house in bits......

[CarolineO]

I got ghost stars too, I see on the LRS forum a few are complaining that they weren't informed of the change.
My 2nd lot of 6 months is up after next month and I think I'll give it up for a while then. My friend is getting the paper posies monthly kit for the last while and I must say I've been very impressed with it and no delays either. Anyone else get this one?

[cathann]

I've just re-subbed. I love the kits so much and the stamps too. I guess as this is the only kit I've ever had I've nothing to compare it to. And TBH, I get so little time to scrap and I have sooo much stash I hardly notice the delays, it's always a nice surprise when it comes.
Cath

[donna russell]

has anybody got their kit yet?

thansk, donna

[CarolineO]

Nothing here yet Donna.

[debbiem]

nothing here either yet .... i'm hoping it'll come by sat as i'm off to a crop :unsure:

[debbiem]

yay - my kit arrived first thing this morning - hope you all get yours soon too...

do really like the papers as they're very different!

[CarolineO]

Will be on stalking duty tomorrow so then!

[donna russell]

i got a slip from the po. was hoping it was my cricut, but still happy if its the kit.
thansk, donna

[cathann]

Mine came yesterday, picked it up this morning. Looks good although I've only had a quick peek, def better IRL than on screen. The flowers look fab.
Cath

[debbiem]

you're right cath - the papers are bolder than on screen & already have some pics that i'm going to use with it.

i must have not looked properly as didn't even realise we were getting bling flowers & they are really pretty :D

[donna russell]

my kit came today. i agree. it does look much better irl. i only got basic kit this time. didn't sign up for this months class as i still need to do the last 2 months.
hope you are all enjoying, and dare i say, using up the kit

thanks, donna

[Efemera]

Hi,
Back from hols and have 2 kits waiting!....going to stroke them later (after doing umpteen loads of washing!)
:D :D :D

[CarolineO]

mine arrived today, unfortunately my last for a while, as I'm not working at the moment so have to cull expenses for a while.

[lellis]

hi - i saw this kit at a crop recently and loved it - if anyone wants to sell theirs then please pm me - thank you

[debbiem]

woooohooooo - my kit has arrived and its absolutely amazing!!! this is definitely my fave so far :wub: all the patterned & embossed chipboard is stunning - & there was sooo much stuff (ok so i did get a lot of add ons but it was still really cheap!)

no idea what i'm going to use it for, but might just sit looking at it for a long time as its sooo lush!!

[Efemera]

Lucky you!..mine's not here yet!.....just subbed for another 3 months, couldn't resist!

Got mine too, it's really lovely isn't it. I love kits that can be used in loads of ways, and this would do girls, boys and heritage, so I should have no prob using this months up. I ordered everything too this month apart from the stamps, and got a pack of blossoms in each colour too :huh:
Cath

[debbiem]

LOL Cath - i ordered exactly the same this month - it was great value for money wasn't it? although have to admit i'm getting a bit bored with the ribbon add on as its the same ribbons in diff colours every month....

will def have no prob using this kit up :D

[Efemera]

Got mine....should have ordered the add ons!

[cathann]

Have you seen next months kit, it looks gorgeous!

[CarolineO]

boo hoo, still not working so having to skip again! Missing the kit :(

[debbiem]

It does look fab - i love it when the papers have blue in too as i have two boys and most of their clothes seem to be blue with red or brown in!!

Caroline - how frustrating to see this gorgeous stuff & not be able to buy it - hope you get a job soon

[Efemera]

Hi,
That looks yummy!...glad I renewed my sub!

[magicchick]

Hi,

I am thinking of subscribing to this US kit, what do you reckon folks? Value for money and something different? Is ti reasonable postage?
thanks in advance for your comments

[shonam]

Just found this thread so thought I'd say hi. I've been subscribing to this kit for the last two months ( the new kit will be my third). Also been doing the classes which I've really enjoyed. Looking forward to this month's kit - anyone got their's yet?

Shona :)

[Efemera]

Hi,
No not yet..usually arrives around about 25th of the month....looks nice this month!

[shonam]

It looks lovely. That's one thing I've enjoyed about the kit - its a lot of things that I wouldn't normally choose but once I get started I love them.

Shona :)

[cathann]

Mine came last Thursday! It's fab. Hope yours come soon.
Cath

[debbiem]

Mine came this morning & its lush :D

[Efemera]

Hi,
Will be stalking the postie!

[shonam]

Got mine today too and love it, especially the rub-ons with the wee owls - very cute.

Shona :)

[magicchick]

Decided to go ahead and subscribe so I am waiting for mine to arrive. Does anyone get the stamps? What are they like?

[Efemera]

OHHH! did you say owls?

[debbiem]

yup - very cute - not sure what i'll use them for yet though!!

just done my first lo with this months kit - just loving those papers :D

Sorry - not got stamps before so don't know what they're like...

[Tracey04]

is this kit from US, whats it like and what postage do you pay. Thanks

[Efemera]

Hi,
Yes it's from the US
It works out at about $35...that includes P&P, it was recomended and is a great kit.

[magicchick]

Can't wait to get this months yummy Heidi Grace kit! and I have gone for the stamps too!

[Efemera]

[debbiem]

[magicchick]

im quite new to these kits - had to subscirbe when i saw DebbieMs kit at a crop

Me too! I will have to watch my spending tho!

[shaznaynay]

Hi Can some one tell me how long on average the kits from this company take to get here from the usa, apparently mine was posted on the 7th but still not arrived(mays kit).
thanks in advance.

[magicchick]

Hi Can some one tell me how long on average the kits from this company take to get here from the usa, apparently mine was posted on the 7th but still not arrived(mays kit).
thanks in advance.

Mine took about two weeks - ish. I have had mine for May (Sassafrass lass) and I think it was ordered after the beginning of the month (of May) as I started my subscription later.

[shaznaynay]

thanks will be patient a little bit longer, is that sally by any chance?????

[magicchick]

thanks will be patient a little bit longer, is that sally by any chance?????

Yes is..have we met? Sallyx

[shaznaynay]

Yes sally it's sharon, the pregnant one from worcester crop. tc x

[lellis]

june kits should be here soon
anyone got theirs yet?

[magicchick]

Not yet :(

[shaznaynay]

Recieved junes kit today, fab but not actually the kit i ordered, which was the may sass lass, posted on the 15th so super fast!

[lellis]

mine came today - and I love it - cant wait to play with it

[magicchick]

Mine came yesterday too - loving it! I had the stamps too which are fabarooney!

[magicchick]

So at last the pic is on the website and I have decided to go for the ribbon add on this month rather than the stamps. I couldn't believe that it was only $6.50 for the full Crate Crush set of ribbons!
(ps monthly kit does not count in stash diet!)

[shaznaynay]

Can anyone tell me if they've had any of the online classes, and are they worth signing up for?
thanks sharon

[jennyap]

I've just subbed to this for the first time, it looks like fantastic value. Got the ribbons add-on too, although I may have to be more sensible in future.

[lellis]

should be here soon - cant wait

[magicchick]

yippedy doodah!!! (sorry my stash diet has got me extra excited about my monthly kit!)

[debbiem]

no sign of mine yet - was kinda hoping it would have been here by now - am sure it'll be worth the wait though :)

[cathann]

Can anyone tell me if they've had any of the online classes, and are they worth signing up for?
thanks sharon


I have done all but this month, they've been good, but then I have nothing to compare them with as I haven't done any others. There is a mix of altered items (notebooks, clock) and mini albums from scratch and also using albums in the kits. About 4 projects in each class, plus sometimes sketches and LO instructions, and journalling jumpstarts too sometimes. I haven't signed up this month as I have been too busy to get to them lately.

[shaznaynay]

Thanks for that cathann, i'll wait and see what nx months kit is so i can do the online classes.

[cathann]

Got my kit yesterday, Love it!!!

[debbiem]

Mine's here too - it is lush - & those ribbons on that huge bookring are fab...

only don't think the orange cardstock really matches though....

[magicchick]

Mine is great! I have wipped the ribbons off the bookring and I will be attaching lots of nice dangly things to it and putting it on my tote!

Have just finished a layout of garlic bulbs from the garlic farm in the Isle of Wight and it works really well. The chocolate bazzill isn't quite right either but my chocolate bazzill bling works really well!!

[lellis]

mine arrived yesterday too

i didnt thing the jewels matched but overall im loving it and cant wait to play - just lobe those ribbons

[magicchick]

What jewels? Did you have the add on embellie kit? I had no jewels in the standard kit.:rolleyes:

[debbiem]

i just went to check & the jewels were in the add on embellie kit.

when checking i realised there were supposed to be flowers & buttons in it & a yard of ribbon that i don't seem to have - did everyone else get them?

[magicchick]

oooh now then - I had no ribbon or flowers in my standard kit at all. I just had the ribbon from the add on ribbon kit.
I had the papers, cardstock,diecuts, thickers, photocorners and rubons. Off to check the website now! Thanks

[lellis]

i didnt get the flowers or buttons either - has anyone contacted the company? I didnt notice till you said

The jewels were in the embell kit - i ordered all the extras this month - just had to have those chipboard letters!

[donna russell]

my kit has rrived. gorgeous as ever, but also missing the ribbon buttons and blossoms. maybe they will send them on?

[debbiem]

i have emailed them to ask - will let you all know when i get a reply :)

[Efemera]

Hi,
Got mine this morning.....didn't notice anything missing until I read this..no ribbon or flowers in mine either!:(...will wait to see if they reply to your E-mail!

[debbiem]

sorry - i was really happy with mine too & only realised they were missing when i logged on to see what the gems were!

I've just had a reply from Maegan saying she's really sorry & will get them out straight away, so it looks like she didn't realise, so you'll probably have to email on an individual basis if you didn't get them. hth

[magicchick]

I emailed too and Maegan seems very disappointed that we were missing bits. I mentioned that it was likely that there was a few of us. She is very keen to rectify the mistake and has asked me to post on here to let you all know that if you were missing bits, please can you let her know and she will get them out to you straight away.
Thanks

[shonam]

I seem to have got everything in the kit but I don't really like it as much as some of the others I've had (been subscribing 5 months now). I don't really think alot of the card matches too well, the photo corners are a bit too bright for the papers and the jewels don't really seem to go with anything.:mellow: Am also a bit disappointed that the chipboard shapes in the embellie add-on are the same as ones we got a few months ago (we got the green ones before). It's a shame as this is the first month I've not been so happy. I love the papers and the chipboard alphas and the ribbons but the rest doesn't seem to be up to the usual standard...

I'm unsure of whether or not to continue subscribing after next month as there seem to be a few good UK kits now.

[magicchick]

Oh shona it is a shame that you are disappointed this month.

I must say though that I did like the corners and have already used them on a LO - I distressed them back a bit and they work really well with the orange papers when that harsh shine has been taken off them. HTHx

[cathann]

I got all mine, know what you mean about the slightly odd matches, but tbh I have gone off everything coming from the same manufacturer and matching perfectly, so I just added bits into my general stash that weren't good matches.

Has anyone ordered Scarlett's kit? It's so yum.

cath

[magicchick]

Has anyone ordered Scarlett's kit? It's so yum.

cath
Scarletts Kit? Which is that?

[cathann]

I can't link it so I'll Pm you.

[lellis]

can you pm me too - always interested in looking at new kits
Thanks

[cathann]

No worries!
Cath

[jennyap]

Oh, and me too please Cath!

[CarolineO]

And me 3 please Cath!

[donna russell]

cath, please could you pm me the link. lrs subs has just expired so on the look out for something else

thanks, donna

[jennyap]

Mm, looks good Cath.

But back to LRS, has anyone else managed to sign up for the message board on the site? I seem to be having real trouble - had to email them direct to get the activation email as it just wasn't coming through (on two different email addresses, and I checked my filters), now when I click on the link to activate I get an error message, something about I can't do it until an administrator has approved my account. Anyone else have problems?

[cathann]

That's strange, I got in no problem and have never had difficulties. If you want, pm your email and lrs member name to me and I'll get in to the site and PM terri who is in charge of the site, see if she can fix it?
Cath

[jennyap]

Looks like its sorted now thanks!

Just waiting for the August kit list to be posted now...

[magicchick]

I have been waiting for the pic to come up so I can see if I want to choose the ribbons and stamps as well. We only have until 5th don't we so I hope they put the pics up soon!!

[magicchick]

Well the pic is still not up for the kit! So I haven't ordered any add ons as I wanted to see what it was like. That is a little bit annoying.
However on the plus side I have recieved all of my extras that were missing from last months kit!

[Efemera]

Hi,
Kit arrived this morning...it's fabby!.....my last one, I've decided to have a change......

[peachey-kins]

i got my first kit from these guys today. its great!

[jennyap]

Ooh, only just got my July kit (subbed very late in the month) so will be very excited if mine's arrived! (not that I ever actually get parcels during the week, am always at work during the week and can only get to the Post Office at the weekend).

[magicchick]

i got my first kit from these guys today. its great!

Oh mine hasn't arrived - mind you I am waiting for loads of parcels at the mo.

[jennyap]

Nope, no sign of mine :(

[cathann]

I got mine this morning, I really like this one. Love that purple cs.

[magicchick]

I am not keen at all so I think I will sell most of it on the marketplace. I must keep the arrows and the thickers though.

[peachey-kins]

this is a LO i did using it u & me (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=133810&cat=500&ppuser=19947)

[cathann]

That's fab, great LO and lovely photos.

[peachey-kins]

just looked at the DT LOs....not particularly impressed. ive done another with this kit on my blog if anyone fancies looking.

interested as to what the next kit will be.

[magicchick]

Me too as I don't like this months. I complained about the pics being late going up too!

[jennyap]

Quote from the message board about the next kit!

"September's kit and Add-Ons feature lots of newly-released products by Fancy Pants, Imagination Project, JBS, Bazzill Basics, Sassafras Lass, May Arts and American Crafts, all hand-picked to insure that they coordinate perfectly with this month's featured paper line, a brand-new manufacturer called Paper Trunk. In the main kit, you will receive 12 double-sided, textured, patterned papers, 8 sheets of Bazzill cardstocks (that's 20 sheets of paper, woo-hoo!!), alphabet stickers, crocheted posies (the coolest embellishment around!) a 12x12 sheet of felt shapes (these were a HIT at the CHA show!) an assortment of shaped buttons (LOVE these!) and a yard of fabulous striped ribbon.

The Add-On Embellishment Kit includes tons of fabulous journaling products designed to inspire you to record your precious memories, and the best part about this kit is that it all coordinates perfectly with the main kit! You will receive the cutest printed journaling tickets, stick pins, 2 sheets of ledger paper, cardstock stickers, and journaling squares- don't wait to order this Add-On kit because we only have a limited quantity in stock..

The September Ribbon Club Kit features 8 yards of May Arts ribbon in shades of blue, burgandy, brown and taupe. My favorite is the brand-new Ruffled ribbon- too cute!!

The Stamp Club will feature an exclusive set of 12 stamps designed by yours truly. It's called "Polka Dot Whimsy" and includes 2 brackets, 2 different border stamps, 2 flowers, 4 circles, a small heart and a journaling stamp. They were designed to coordinate with the Paper Trunk Gigi line and I know you will have a lot of fun using them next month!"

[magicchick]

Thanks for this - I have decided to order the add on embellie kit even though I can't see it! I know what the Paper Trunk paper looks like as some of the sponsors have it in.

[peachey-kins]

hmm im not sure. looked on papermaze, dont think i will this month

[Gillybee]

I had a LRS kit turn up when we returned from holiday in August. I can't even remember ordering it! It's a good job I like its contents :o
Now I'll wait & see if a kit turns up in September!! LOL

[peachey-kins]

did anyone get the sept kit??? and any previews for the oct?

[cathann]

Nothing here yet, but mine usually comes in the last week of the month, so another week or so for me I think.

[jennyap]

US subscribers are just starting to receive theirs, so not just yet.

[peachey-kins]

i got a newsletter which says the october kit is 'october afternoon' papers. i had a look and they're not that bad

[magicchick]

I am trying to decide whether to pass or not as they are similar colours to the previous kit.

[magicchick]

Well my Sept Paper Trunk kit has arrived and I am very pleased with it. I ordered the add on embellishment kit and I am really pleased with that too. They have certainly done better than last month I think

[cathann]

I liked it too, especially all the embellishments.

[peachey-kins]

october pic is up but the kit is sold out

[cathann]

I like it! Glad I got the lot this month, it's one of my faves for a few months.

[jennyap]

Nice! A bit confused about the add-ons though - I thought you had to add them each time, but last month I got the ribbons although I'd only asked for the embellies, presumably because I'd had them the previous month? How do you guys deal with yours?

[cathann]

I have a 6 month sub, and it's set to send everything, so then I contact Maegan and opt out of anything I don't want. I'm not sure how it works for other arrangements.

[jennyap]

Ok, looks like I misread the info then :wacko:, thought it was opt in each time rather than opt out! As I've added all the different add-ons at one time or another, I'd better let her know which ones I don't want this month.

[magicchick]

I have decided to skip this monthly kit as the colours are similar to last months - the add on embellie kit is out of stock too.

[lellis]

I have the kit each month and then email each month to say which extras I want. Nevere had any problems.

Howvere I am still waiting for the rubons that were going to be sent out late from the Daisy D july kit
