A few years ago there was as company: Wild Hare Kits?
Where you gave them a theme, collection, colors. And they would build a kit for you.
Are there any companies like that now?
My back is finally better and I can sit at my desk again and I've been scrapping, but I'm kinda all over the place. I've got 2 years of Elle Studio, a year of Studio Calico Stamps, and I started Hip Kit a couple months ago.
I have plenty of stuff to use really. I've been picking up collections over my 2 years of dealing with problems but I'm having trouble mixing things or finding embellishments that match what I have. A shop or company that I could go I have "Main Character Energy" and could use embellishments to match. Or I have photos that are a light yellow and need a kit to work with those photos.
Is there a company around like that anymore? Thanks

Not that I know of.
Many companies sell their collections individually, so you can pick and choose what you like to use (stickers, chipboard, embellishments, ephemera, brads, rub-ons, frames, journal cards, etc...). All the pieces of a collection coordinate. Sometimes collections coordinate with other collections that the company makes (like Echo Park merchandise). You could easily build your own kit.

I've not heard of anything like that BUT we have a ton of creative people right here and I bet if you said...I have Main Character Energy papers and need ideas for embellishments or I'm looking for a yellow collection...you will get some great ideas (and probably links)

I'm unaware of such company but encourage you to create your own page kits. While I don't subscribe to kits or gravitate toward American Crafts pattern paper brands, & therefore do not have or know the exact colors of your accumulated supplies, consider pairing the Elle's Studio pocket cards with your paper collections by color, theme, mood, or other trait, then do the same with stamp sets. Cardstock or solids can be added to tone down bright or busy patterned papers. Use other tools, such as punches, dies, stencils, inks, etc., to create embellishments (e.g. tags, labels) &/or backgrounds (e.g. stenciled, packaging technique). When starting with color, such as pale yellow, consider the color wheel (& online color palette generators - e.g. Canva). Perhaps combine pale yellow with white & grey for a modern color palette, lavender (complementary/opposite) for contrast, etc. Then, select pattern papers (using gallon/quart/pint proportions) & embellishments from your inventory (or create them using your tools) that match or coordinate with your chosen color palette. HTH.

There used to be a kit club like this. Curated kits so to speak that were based on info you provided to the owner. I don’t believe she is actively in business anymore. The club I’m talking about is Redefined Kreative.

Yeah. It was the Secret Not Secret Kit Club. But you are right, I don't think she is in business anymore.

I loved Wild Hare kits and wish they were still around. If you find another one, let us know.
I live in Pittsburgh, one, and, two, we go to lakes, not tropical beaches - no flamingoes and palm trees around here! LOL Wild Hare put together kits that were perfect for not only my tastes and activities, but also for scrapping more urban settings.

This is why I miss LSS’s. You could just run in and match card stock, pattern paper and some embellishments, buy some letters and “curate” your own kit! You could still drop into Michaels, Joann’s, or hobby lobby, or visit Amazon, also.
