Fancy a new kit delivered to you each month for the bargain price of just £10 including P&P?

The kits will be delivered in the middle of each month, you will receive enough paper bags, cardstock, pattern paper and embellishments to make a complete book each month with some bits left over.

The kit is £10 a month and can be bought from Carolynz Craftz (www.carolinezcraftz.co.uk)

Look under the MONTHLY Paper Bag Book (http://www.carolinezcraftz.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=206) KIT section in the menu on the left hand side of the home page.

Caroline
08-09-2005, 06:58 PM
Now I anticipated this stroking and not using lark and had a special device built it, if you don't use it within a week it will explode - so don't say I haven't warned you!

She's right! or at least a faint rustling ...

now can someone tell me the best way to set eyelets through the bags, is it one at a time, or all three bags at once? will one eyelet go through bags?

see im being brave, normally i alter board books - you can't go wrong with them ;)

Elfin
10-09-2005, 03:28 PM
Depends on the depth of your eyelet. On book I made I punched all the wholes then did all my art bits and pieces then at the very end used extra big eyelets to bind it all together. Other ones I have done I have just used ring binder rings you know the little plastic things to strengthen the holes then used ribbons/book rings to bind.

Wow Caroline thanks ... my friend Irini and I are doing ours at the same time ... we think they'll be great Christmas gifts this year!!! :-)

Caroline
10-09-2005, 10:49 PM
I'm sure they'll make gorgeous gifts, in theory, I just can't bear to part with them!! That's why I love scrapbooking and not card making - you get to keep all the pretty stash!!

egratsia
11-09-2005, 08:05 AM
True Caroline, true, but when you live in a country that doesn't know what scrapbooking is, they are totally WOWed by these gifts ... of course I wouldn't just make them for anyone ... I do it for VERY special people in my life ... and I DO actually keep so much myself!!! LOL

Caroline
13-09-2005, 10:15 AM

Glitter Queen

Glitter Queen
05-10-2005, 11:27 AM
My first monthly kit has just arrived and I am speechless it is absolutely fab. I just need to know how do I put together the two different sized bags and then Im on my way - I hope. LOL

Its absolutely gorgeous and I am very very thrilled with it.

Elfin
05-10-2005, 01:04 PM
Caroline my kit arrived this morning. Thank you very much and again its a gorgeous kit.

Glitter Queen
05-10-2005, 01:06 PM
Elfin - is yours the same as mine? The one with the three small bags and the threee larger bags. I know im sounding stupid now, but how do I use the two sized bags together? Ive never done one before and Im somewhat scared of messing up LOL

Elfin
05-10-2005, 01:12 PM
I would probably use them to make two different books, a mini one with the white bags and a larger one with the others.

Caroline
05-10-2005, 04:09 PM
Yep, that was the idea when I put the kit together, thought I would give you the choice this month of making a big one and a small one!

Glitter Queen
05-10-2005, 04:25 PM
Oh rite how stupid of me, told you i was going to sound really thick didnt I? My only excuse is that I have never done one before.

Caroline
07-10-2005, 01:29 PM

12-10-2005, 11:22 PM
Hi Caroline

Do you have a Christmas paper bag kit in the works?

Also, is the process of using envelopes for the paper bag scrapbooks the same as with paper bags themselves do you know? Or is it a different technique?

Can't wait till I get paid and can do some stash shopping!

Thanks.

13-10-2005, 02:46 AM
I am really looking forward to receiving this kit. I have already bought one made up from another source for my friend I wanted to make one up myself and I am so pleased that I have found a source to buy one seen plenty advertised already made up but not the same as making your own personalised one :lol:

Janey - only 6!!!! I can't seem to stop making them, I sit in the shop looking at the paper racks and think mmmm that paper would look nice with that cardstock,ooh and those embellies match perfectly- and I'm off again!!!

Okay - I have done it - I have actually managed to make another paper bag album!!!! :lol: Actually used one of my kits at last!! :D The theme of it is my daughters recent achievment of being potty trained (or toilet trained I should say - she wouldn't really use the potty!!!)
I will try and post a picture tomorrow as not sure where the camera is at the moment....really pleased with it, and so was DH too, which is a first! I'll have to go and check the site to see which kit it is I've used.

Just a little reminder that if you finish a paperbag book from one of our kits email me the photos and I will put it in our gallery, and send you a little freebie with your next order as a thank you. We have books on the gallery now by Carolyn and Eleni - go have a look.
Also, if you have bought a kit and you like it why not write a review for it, there is a section for this on every item on the website. If you do write a review let me know and I'll include a freebie with your next order.

janeycutting
17-10-2005, 06:53 PM
Mine came too - the post person was a different one and she forgot my box, so she decided to post it seperately on her way back to the depot!!!! :lol:

Fantastic - I got the two Christmas paperbag kits (4x4 and 6x6). I also got the 7gypsies journal kit which is just gorgeous too. :nono:

Looks very autumnal Caroline will stalk postie from Tuesday onwards :D

Caroline
06-11-2005, 01:02 PM
Yes, I suppose it is autumnal, I didn't design it that way though! I think it's a very versatile kit as there are a lot of differnt colours yet because of the pattern papers they all coordinate, they are the papers by Debbie (mumof4boys). Hope you all like them.

Elfin
06-11-2005, 01:16 PM
Autumnal is a good thing :lol: I won a 6x6 pad of debbie's papers at the cybercrop and they are gorgeous :D

Caroline
06-11-2005, 04:47 PM
LOl, I didn't mean that Autumn wasn't a good thing just that it didn't start off as an Autumn kit! The next one is done too and it's yummy scrummy.I think Debbie is doing some Christmas papers, can't remember whereI heard but I'm sure I did (or maybe I was dreaming!!)

janeycutting
08-11-2005, 05:37 PM
Just been and collected my kit and it is just beautiful. The whole thing just blends lovely and those papers are great, can you but them in 12x12? The other thing which jumped out was the flowery ribbon, not what I would buy normally but I love it in this kit. Thank you Caroline - you are really brilliant at putting these kits together.
Thanks for my freebie too, really unusual - can't wait to try them out.

Caroline
13-11-2005, 01:28 PM
Well for anyone who wants to buy one really, sorry, didn't mean to sound presumptious (that's probably spelt wrong!!)
Eleni,how come you and Irini and Alison have PO Boxes? Do you not get a delivery to your house? Always wondered about that!

egratsia
13-11-2005, 01:33 PM
The big packages don't get delivered to houses, you get a pick up slip anyway ... I've had a po box for AGES, as I never wanted my mail to go astray and they will keep it for me if I'm on holiday .... They just recently added a new clerk who 'forgets' to write the reminder slips .... so I have to ask to be sure if I have something!!! That stinks ... but if I don't see slips this week [I'm waiting on FOUR parcels] I will complain to the manager!!!

egratsia
13-11-2005, 01:34 PM
PS ... I get slips in my box if the package doesn't fit ... LOL Thanks for the new paperbags by the way!!!! :D

Caroline
13-11-2005, 02:05 PM
That'sagood idea for when you are on holiday, does it cost a lot?

egratsia

Not really ... they do this deal whereby if you pay for 2 years you get the third one free ... It's up for renewal this year, so I'll see how much it costs! LOL

Have you seen this great offer?

I want to make room for some new kits so you get a great offer to take advantage of!

For every 2 paperbag book kits you buy you can choose another one free (the cheapest ), so choose 3 and only pay for 2, or if you choose 6 you only pay for 4, fancy 9? yep you only pay for 6!!

I don't have a fancy thingy on the website which works it out for you, so the free offer WON'T show on your invoice,but when it gets to me I will take the money off. Please remember to type FREE KITS in the comments box when you order so I know that you have seen this offer.
