Project Life Kits?

Somehow I ended up with three. I've had Citrus Twist for a year and a half. I like them but I think July will be my last month. You get a full 6x6 paper pad each month. I've now got a bunch that I have and aren't using. I need to stop accumulating so much. I really like their stamp sets and have gotten the add on stamp since they started them.

I also have Gossamer Blue. My husband got me three months for Mother's Day and then an additional three for my birthday. I really, really like that their cards are two sided. Same pattern but it can be either portrait or landscape orientation. I love that. No paper pad with them but lots of cards. Nice embellishments too.

Finally, I have the. Take Ten kit. It's $10 a month plus shipping. It's a small kit but a fun one. You get some cards plus a small assortment of embellishments. If you're just looking for a little something new each month, this is a great kit. They are slowly expanding each month so you may end up on a wait list for a month. Worth the wait though!

I have never heard of the Take Ten kit before but I like that it is a lower price than the others. I have resisted signing up for a kit because I didn't want to pay $20-$30 a month without knowing if I would like what I received. $10 I could handle though. How much do they charge for shipping?

I really, really, REALLY like my Gossamer Blue sub. Started in December as a trial and have been using the kits for 2014 as my only PL this year. Even when a kit hasn't suited my style I've been able to use nearly everything up before the next one comes. Had really great service from them as well, which I appreciate.

I subbed to Scraptastic a few months ago so I could do past years' info in PL style. I'm not really loving it, but I think it's just not quite my style. Still, it's the only one I found that I liked the cards enough and wouldn't require much "work" on my part to get done. One kit out there gives you like 10 cards and then a 6x6 pad. Like if I didn't have time to make my own cards I wouldn't just use my stash, lol!

I used to sub to Cocoa Daisy's kit. They had a nice assortment of cards and stamps. By the end of my sub, they were starting to include a couple of loose 6x6 papers. I ended my sub because I had too many Project Life Core Kits & CD kits stacking up on top of each other.

Take Ten Kits

They charge $2-3. It's quite reasonable. We are told ahead of invoicing how much shipping will be.

I just typed out an explanation of how their kit works, went to get the link, and lost what I'd typed. However, there is a great explanation at the link I shared. They have a Facebook page too that is very nice. They have some add on things if you want to get more. That increases shipping though too.  

Where can you see pictures of previous Take Ten kits?

Oh, that take ten is cute. I subscribe to studio calico, it fits my style, but I seem to be accumulating stuff so I might have to take a break fo a while

I noticed that Cocoa Daisy has a promotion on right now on Ali Edwards website - you can get $10 off a new sub to the PL kits.

You can find the deal and a giveaway on Ali's site here:

I subscribe to Studio Calico and I'm glad I do, it means that I get variety and I get embellishments. I've been doing Project Life since 2010 so last year I wanted something more than just the core kit and this was the perfect solution. The price is right at 19.99 per month and I always feel like I have plenty.

I just re-upped my sub to Citrus Twist. I have previously had a subscription with them for about a year, but had to stop because the kits were just piling up (I was also getting Scraptastic's main kit at the time). Now that I've made more time for crafting, I signed up again.

I like CT because most of the kits fit within my style and I feel they're a better deal than most other PL kits. You get some cards, embellies, a stamp set, a 6x6 pad and a half sheet of cutables. I am also a traditional 12x12 scrapper and card maker, so I like that there is always leftovers, especially from the 6x6 pad, that I integrate into these projects as well. In addition, every month they offer a PL embellishment add-on, as well as a stamp add-on, both of which I think are also priced fairly.

With that being said, I just clicked on the link for that Take Ten kit, and I may have to take on a second kit subscription, which I said I wouldn't do again. Lol. Much like any other kit, you should look at the past PL kits of the company you're interested in, just to give you an idea of the style of kits they put in, to make sure you're signing up for something you'll be able to use.

Does anyone want to possibly sell their July Cocoa Daisy PL kit?

I get the scraptastic life noted kit and I really like it. I love the card selection, the embellishments and the fact that each one comes with a stamp set. I watched many YT videos about the different kits before finally deciding so if you haven't done that, it may help you narrow it down by seeing the actual kits.
