No Man is UNisland


I am convinced that scrapbookers, crafters, and life artists have a need to connect with other people.

We are extending an engraved invitation to join our little haven of UnKit inspiration. A community of UNlike spirits that generous share, inspire, and motivate. A place to be an individual and create the way you do best. We hope you come and visit us. then Stay and play.

On Monday, we will have a drawing for some of that super cool flock that is so popular (and in the UnKit). To be eligible for the drawing, you have to be a member of the community, have at least 5 posts to include an introduction, and invite one friend to our little creative haven.

UnCommon Approach to Scrapbook Kit Clubs

This is really exciting and something that I wanted to do for a while. ~to get together with other kit lovers without the hype, just having fun. Simple and UNcomplicated.This concept may take some time to grasp. and that is ok.

This is not a traditional kit club.
The UNkit is just some suggestions of stuff that goes great together.
Maybe we will suggest some stuff you have in your current stash too.

So what makes us different?
No commitment. Just fun.
No kit. You order what you want.
Don't order what you don't want. Order 2 of your favorites. It's all good.
For your convenience, we will make it easy to order from our preferred online store by having it all picked for you. You can delete or add from the basket to suit your taste.
No inflated shipping and handling. The shipping is what it is. Whatever the actual shipping costs are is what you are charged. How is that for different?!
No extra costs to be your personal shopper. Free! We charge nothing for putting it all together.
Coupons. Some of our preferred vendors have coupons available. We will pass along all coupon codes that we are aware of. That is pretty cool.
Detailed instructions. Detailed written instructions of projects will be available.Kits will be put together by guests who will assemble their very favorite must-have products.
No creative cool names for each month's kits. That will cost you extra. and I don't want to fiddle with that. We'll leave that stuff for the other guys.
Unique goodies. Also, available will be coordinating artisan items for purchase on etsy.
We don't care. Buy a kit. Don't. Whatever. We do care if you are having fun. If you aren't enjoying it, why bother?!

So come and visit. Or don't.
Whatever.

Just don't ask me to go fetch your kit.
We match 'em; You get 'em.
Got it? Good.

You can comment here. Or e-mail us at admin@UnKit.com

We love hearing from you. We could talk kits all day long. Seriously.

Recently, you told us we want More! You want big fat juicy packed-with-goodness kits.

You said that with shipping prices, you prefer to order more to make the best use of your money.
You said that you are sharing kits with your friends or craft groups.
You said you just want more!

So, we went back and revamped this month's kit. We added more coordinating papers, cardstock, and beautifully detailed embellishments.

We say, "give the people what they want!"

Keep all those cards and comments coming.

Seriously

I just unpacked my kit shipment, and the pictures online do not do it justice. It is so gorgeous with tons of details that just don't show up.

Thanks, Cookie, for a gorgeous kit this month. You do a great job coordinating for us. This kit is awesome!

Mother's Day gifts

If your family is like mine, it is right about now that my family asks, "Mama, what do you want for Mother's day?" Always last minute.

So what are you asking for? Anything Scrapbook related?

If you are looking for ideas, I strongly recommend the Dreamkutz or Bind-it all.
I love them both. The Bind-it all can make anything into a little album.









Zutter - Bind-It-All - Binding System

Retail Price: 0.00

The Bind-it-All from Zutter is the one and only dual action machine that will punch and bind allowing you to create your own books, journals, calendars, and craft projects of any size! Be sure to check out our accessories that work hand-in-hand with this wonderful tool! Also known as Bind It All or BindItAll.Recommended by Tim Holtz



and the Dreamkutz makes getting precision cuts short work.










Zutter - Dreamkutz - Page Cutter Tool




Or how about a gift certificate to one of our affiliates to purchase a kit? or our e-book Getting Grungy with Papercrafting?

Whatever you decide, I wish you a very happy Mother's Day!
