A good friend of mine visited yesterday and we met at Scrapbook Oasis to buy some new CHA products. Later, we were chatting about scrapbooking and I realized something. I would probably never scrapbook if I didn't do it for a job. I'm sure I would find other things that kept me too busy to allow myself to justify the time.
What motivates me to scrapbook is that I love a challenge - whether it is to work with a set group of products, a manufacturers products for a design team, or a specific page assignment from CK. And back when there were lots of contests, I loved entering them simply for the challenge of producing the best work I was capable of (while trying to improve).
Which all means what exactly? I have pretty albums to show for it. So it's not a waste of time, right? And I love doing it - it is never a burden, so I couldn't find a better thing to do to bring in a little income. But sometimes, I think it is fun to scrap with my favorite products just for ME ... not caring who I please with my pages. And I don't often make time for that.
So, with that long introduction, I will get to my point. I thought it would be fun to put together some of my new products into a "Suzy Kit" of sorts and work on pages/projects with ONLY these products. It brings the challenge into scrapbooking some pages for myself. And I love working with kits that have many different manufacturers products in them - it is so much fun to think of unique ways and techniques to combine them.
Here is my Suzy September Kit and photos of the products by manufacturer. Almost all of these products were purchased at Scrapbook Oasis on Saturday and they have an online website as well as a store front. I really try to purchase all my products from them to help with business since they are my favorite store of all time and I want them to be around for a long, long, time to come! Of course it is colorful, fun, happy and whimsical since that is the style of products I am always drawn to!
First are three papers and a set of rub ons by Crate Paper (I love their Restoration Collection - it was so hard to limit it to just these items):
These products are by American Crafts - a marker, some ribbon, a set of Thickers and a piece of awesome paper (with glitter all over it):
A paper (so many cute ones to choose from - ahhhh!), some paper whimsies and letter stickers by Sassafras:
Next, Echo Park from their Life Is Good line. They are seriously my favorite new manufacturer - love how they have a new line out every single month! And Life Is Really Good, so I thought it was an appropriate line to include!
My Little Shoebox has adorable products out right now - here are two papers:
A paper, tiny type alpha stickers and delicious buttons (I love buttons!!!!!!) by Cosmo Cricket:
Last, a couple of other products - one paper by Bella Blvd (soooo love those clouds), a set of butterflies by Jenni Bowlin, some Queen and Co pearls and several trims to complete the kit:
So that is all is my friends. I have gained great respect for kit clubs. It is sooo hard to keep it to just a minimum number of products representing lots of different manufacturers.
And now, let the creating began... I will try to post some pages this week. As you can probably tell by my lack of blogging lately, I am spending most of my time with the girls and summer is almost over (wahhhhhhh!!!!!). But I'll try to be back soon now that I have a challenge set up by ME! Anyone want to join in? Just put together some of your new favorite products and see what you can create with them (NO additions!)!!!
Happy end of summer! Suzy
PS - Thanks to Lisa Vanderveen for motivating this post and getting my butt to the scrapbook store! I haven't had much (adult) girl time lately and it was greatly appreciated!
this is a test...

LOL you are welcome!!! Can you believe we didn't take a single photo though? I should have taken photos of the Calico Critter world that they created in the living room... xoxo

now see, I can't wait to see what you come up with, cause I look at all of this and see prettiness, but not a 'page'. I think I've gotten so used to pre-coordinated sets from one manufactuerer I have forgotton how to 'do it myself'! Show me how you do it, girl!

Love the Suzy Kit idea! Can't wait to see what you create!

It could be accept by men and women so quickly. I feel many individuals will agree with you. You might be ideal that we could to not rely on other people. Who we could to rely on is ourself.

Love this kit! Can't wait to see what you make with it! And I bet kit clubbing is seriously hard work for sure:)
