Probably the best things I bought were my Purple Quikutz and Perfect Layers
Dumbest thing 3 yes 3 Brenda Walton TSVs in Purple, Pink and Yellow. WTF was I thinking? I sold the yellow one.
Also 40000000 dimensional resin stickers from K & Company. Yeah...crazy

Oh man, QVC days. That's going waaay back.
Best by FAR was Perfect Layers. Used it 2 days ago, even bought 2 sets. Worst would have to be an envelope maker stencil/template/thing. I never used it. Also, those ugly Flavia 12 x 12 albums that came with a bunch of crap. Eh. |

I loved those QVC shows. I'd just started scrapping and didn't have much of anything. QVC helped me start my stash. My best purchase was set of brads in multiple colors. I used to use them a lot back in the day and still use them every once in a while on my layouts.
My worst 'what was I thinking' purchase was a K&Co Tim Coffey kit. I loved, and still love, the pretty yellow 8x8 binder. The other stuff consisted of cutesy flowers and bugs. That got purged a while back.

I still have the K&Co. Poppy set albums/paper - still in original box. Some little 1.5x1.5 squares to put under title letters? And a bunch of photo matts, still have those. I also have some kind of ribbon on cardboard that I have not used.
Love my Perfect Layers, could use a back-up set of those.

Worst thing was one of those kits. Way too many pieces that I will never, ever use. Best was something I'm not sure if I got on QVC or HSN. I know HSN still has them, 'cause I just bought one! It's these page kits. Love, love, love them. Got them on autoship, too! |

I don't know what my best purchase was but I did buy this kit from Lisa B with 4 albums in a beige color. You are supposed to do one album for yourself, one for your spouse, one for family and I don't know what the other one was lol. I started the one for myself but never did the other ones!! They came in a special made box that all four albums fit in.

Best = Perfect Layers...love those things. I don't have a worst, because I don't think I have bought any other scrappy items from QVC.

It's these page kits. Love, love, love them. Got them on autoship, too! Omg, I love these, too!!! My next kit is supposed to come today. I hope the P.O. Deliveries it today and it isn't held another day. Smart post does that to me sometimes  but I am loving them to crank through DS's album! And Perfect Layers was by far my best QVC purchase. Use it almost every time I scrap. Worst purchase was a die cutting machine by Xyron. It stunk. I should have just bought the baby Cricut at the time, but the Xyron machine was more affordable. |

I bought the first one only...the "All About Me" one. My SIL and I completed it for my sister's 50th. When I found 2 more at a CKC for $10 each, sister and I made one for SIL's 50th. And, lastly, sister/SIL made the last one for my 60th. It is so great to see how we made each one so different and yet we all have a similar memory books made for each other. Not the worst, but most regrettable QVC? At the Rehoboth Outlet, I bought a huge conchos pack of every color, size, shape, etc. b/c there were such a steal!  I've split up and purged them several times. And yet they still remain in my stash. |

I bought a couple of Brenda Walton kits. I was in love with her work and designs. I still think I have some of her embellishments.
that was a crazy buying time!

I am not sure that I LOVE any of my QVC purchases. I do use Perfect Layers from time to time. I also bought two of the million piece kits from Brenda Walton and the 4 album set from Lisa B. I am not exactly sure what I was thinking but I remember that I loved a lot of the K and Company stuff. I still think it is pretty but I have never really used any of it. Oh and also the Anna Griffin paper kit. What was I thinking?

I bought so much from QVC back in the day. I loved those shows!
There were some kits that I really loved! The Lisa B kits were great. Quikutz was another love.
I still have some K and Company kit stuff. It wasn't my taste, and the kits were way too big. Why did I order them?! I use them for my classroom now. Little kids love stickers and paper.

I bought a couple of Lisa B's mini albums that I loved.
Prob the worst were those K&Co, Flavia and Anna G. kits - Some are long gone but I still have some in their original boxes.

I bought Hugz from Scrapworks and those went back to QVC in time. Thank goodness! Not much else got sent back though. I had some Making Memories clear quote stickers. I loved them. I loved them so much I ordered a second set of them. Funny, I am good with the first set though.

The best was probably my Perfect Layers and the worst was probably some TSV kit that I never ended up using.

Worst was the mini album kit from CK/Lisa Bearnson. It was not my style (lots of metal embellishments) and I am not into small albums. I swear Lisa B could sell snow to a Eskimo.
Best was a huge MME kit, still using some of the pieces from it. It came with frames, titles, & diecuts. Great for little kid's albums.

The worst were all those huge kits with cheap contents and way too much of it as well. The best was a kit that came with a white album (chipboard maybe) that had a magnet embedded in the center of each page. It included coasters also with the magnet so after you embellished the coaster you could adhere it to the page via the magnet. It also came with a small easel so you could display the coasters out of the album. It came with month by month embellishments for the coasters.

Does anyone remember the card making set from Becky H & Lisa B? The one that came in the fabric container? I bought one for me & sister. We both secretly gave them away to someone else. Oops!!

Favorite - Perfect Layers and the nice hard-covered Lisa Bearnson (sp) idea books which had all the layouts they demonstrated on the air.
Less favorite - the LB kits that came with 3 or 4 albums. Not a fan of the one-dimensional embellishments; they didn't have any "oomph" to them, IMO.

Best - Cosmo Cricket kit
Worst - Brenda Pinnick collection (you cannot boast that a kit has 7,000 pieces when 6,000 of them are adhesive squares!!! LOL)

Perfect Layers- but I hold onto them because I'm always seeing a post. Maybe someday I'll give it a go?

I would say that any of those kits that came with so many pieces were a poor choice and a waste of money. I have purged all of them. I did use the card kit but still have a lot left that I haven't used.
I think I bought a portable hand held printer from them as well that think was horrible and a waste of money as it never did print right. I wish I had sent it back.

Createalope was in my cart for ages! Never bought the set though.
Too much K&Company but that's ok because I still like some of it.
Making Memories furniture tack brad things. Loved them and bought them at least 2x.

I bought a Bazzill paper pack and it had the worst colors ever.
It was a great deal ($20) I couldn't even use them.
I ended up donating it.
Someone remind me of what Perfect Layers are?
