I'm not affiliated with them in any way. But I am a Not Just For Boys Kit groupie.

Their kits are really, really fun. Lots of fun themes that work for both masculine and feminine layouts. Fun embellishments. A combination of exclusive things along with a mix of products from different manufacturers. Lots of a la carte items. No subscription, just month by month.

They have 2 new kits this month that I can't wait to get to my house. I am always pleased with the layouts I make with their kits. They just feel cooler than some of my other layouts.

Anyways, if you haven't tried their kits yet, get one. There are so few kit clubs left and I'm trying to keep this one in business.

And while I am talking about shopping:

Shadnee on Etsy has awesome embellishments. Check her out.

Also, ACOT has a lot of Obed Marshall stuff on clearance (I like to cruise the clearance sections when I'm bored.) I also saw they has Liquitex Basics acrylic paint in clearance. It use it for my acrylic paintings. Not top quality, but good and does the job. I also use it to paint Cricut die cuts and wood scrapbook embellishments. Much better than the cheap craft paint out there.

Any other recommended scrapbook businesses? Any special deals out there? Any special products you love?

I just bought a bunch of WRMK albums from Crafts Direct. That is my favorite place to buy albums. I need to replace some fabric albums I used for my parents' 50th anniversary album. They aren't holding up the way I'd hoped.

If you get to Minnesota, Crafts Direct is about an hour NW of Minneapolis. It's a huge craft store, not just paper crafts.

Crafts Direct has excellent customer service. I bought four albums from them a couple years back and a couple had warped covers. One had the metal corner support bent and falling off (has since cone off). They replaced all four of them with no fuss and told me to keep the first lot too.

Speaking of, does anyone know if it’s possible to replace those corners?

Thank you for this because I was looking at their site and wondering how good they are. They have an album I would like for a great price!!

I am very excited about my latest scrappy purchase. I had the 49 & Market "Vintage Artistry Sunburst" digital bundle on my wishlist. The full price is $23.99. It was 20% off, which took it down to $19.19. I thought that I would just wait and see if it popped up in another sale with a bigger discount. About a week later it did! I ended up getting it for $9.84, which is about 60% off. YAY!!

So for less than $10, I got 30 papers, and over 200 embellishments / ephemera.

I also added some Sentiment Transfers ($2.05), Chipboard Bits ($2.05), and three LayerWorks templates for $1.84 each.

I'm a bit disappointed now that I didn't buy more of the Sunburst add-ons. I tried to stick with only what I knew for sure I would use.
