Hi! back in the day...5 years ago...I subbed to a few clubs and loved it. I liked Scrap Room and Scrapbook Generation..I think Cocoa Daisy is too artsy for me--I am a simple scrapper at heart and don't like lumpy stuff or too many embellishments. SO many clubs have gone out of business! I used to rely on Willow Traders for my kit info but they're gone  WOuld love suggestions!!! |

I am in Australia so postage is often the killer for me.
I have just subbed to hip kit to try it out,with 2 kits shipping together to reduce cost

Hip Kit is super cute!! I like that one. Might have to try LOL...
I am going to work through some stash before I buy, but am leaning towards Scrapbook Generation kits again. Thanks!!!

I subscribe to Gossamer Blue. I mostly do kit clubs for PL rather than for scrapbooking because I can buy most of those things at retail...the PL style kits are more unique because most companies print their own cards for each kit. They are one to look into. Their style for PL is a varied mix of florals, simple designs (usually just text and a pretty background or text and a nice image on a white background). I do like their scrapbook kits, too...but haven't subscribed for the reason I already mentioned.
Are you looking to see what's out there because you don't know or just want recommendations from scrappers with a similar style? I ask...because if you know what's out there, my suggestion is to go look at the last 6-12 months worth of kits from that company to see what you like, but if you don't know what options even exist, then clearly you won't know where to go to do that.

I don't know the options LOL, I do like simple, so if there are any kits out there that are on the simpler side, would love to know. Like I hadn't heard of Hip Kit and those look pretty good....Mostly just want recs from scrappers with similar styles  |

Like I hadn't heard of Hip Kit and those look pretty good....Mostly just want recs from scrappers with similar styles I wouldn't really consider Hip Kit simple. They have a color add on every month...that is a mixed media intended product and that's about as unsimple as you can get, IMO. But their products are cute. Some options: Citrus Twist Kits Felicity Jane (VERRRRRY girly and feminine) Gossamer Blue Hip Kit Clique Kits (some exclusives, but most kits are based off of a single retail line each month) Elle's Studio (PL Style, comes out on the 10th every month...the kit is $9.99 on release day and comes with cards and a few die cuts, it's as simple as simple can get if PL is an option you'd like) Studio Calico Scraptastic (PL and planner only) Hero Arts (card kit) Simon Says Stamp (card kit) Oh, I know there are more, but I can't think of them right now! |

I've done studio calico, gossamer blue, and now I'm on my 3rd month with Hip Kit. I really like both Gossamer Blue and Hip Kit!

I think it also depends on what type of kit you're looking for. Scrapbook Generation's kits are layout kits with samples and instructions/sketches/samples to follow. Many of the other kits are simply curated supplies (papers, embellishments, and some come with stamps too) that coordinate, but don't have specific ideas or sketches or instructions.

I've been with Hip Kit and Felicity Jane for 3 months now and I really like both. I think Hip Kit has more in the kit but I like that most of Felicity Jane is original.

I just started Citrus Twist and I don't have my first kit yet, but I think they have a sketch included and they have a good blog for inspiration.
Scrap room is still around too, they are pretty simple and not artsy.

Club Scrap is still around too.
And they give a lot of layout ideas, similar to Scrapbook Generation.

i am leaning towards scrapbook generation or scrap room, but also considering citrus twist and hip kit. I don't stamp or do cards and at least while i restart, don't want to get overwhelmed with supplies. When I last stopped, I had an entire room of supplies!! now i just have 3 small shelves and for the moment, want to keep it that way. Looking back over all my albums from when my kids were babies, the layouts i love the most are two page, photo heavy layouts. I know I love the creating aspect, but down the line, it turns out the thing i appreciate most about the layouts are the photos. And of course, my two boys (11 and 14 now) relly love seeing photos of themselves when they were young--i think that's what has jumpstarted my motivations. Seeing their faces as they look through the old albums has been wonderful and...theyre still young!! so much to scrap!!! lolol

I have tried:
Cocoa Daisy - agree it was too artsy for me
Felicity Jane - wasn't fond of the digi printed papers, but it was a while ago and perhaps that has changed? I found that if anything sticky touched the papers, the ink came off the papers? I did love the exclusive embellishments and stamps were awesome.
Scrapbook Circle - good variety and kit size was good
Hip Kit Club - lots of "new" stuff in the kits and they have come out with lots of exclusives too. Think they were my favorite by far so far.
