NEW Freckled Fawn Monthly kits...

Oh, you bet this is going to be a hit even if it is on the slightly more expensive side of things. I smell people getting waitlisted...

Thanks for the share! Looking forward to more sneaks.

Am I reading that right? $41 for embellishments, paper, and 3x4 cards?

That's how I'm reading it.

I really do like FF, but in my experience with subscribing to kits (generally, not just this company) there's always a few somethings that I'm just meh about, that $41 could buy a lot of stuff that I choose myself that I really love.



Thanks for sharing with us.

I was sad to see their monthly planner kit go -- it wasn't like other planner-oriented planner kits; it was just a trimmed-down version of the embellishment kit, which always worked for me much better and was a great value.

I subscribed when they first started. Back then it was just an embellishment kit in the pretty tin box. All kits came with a 3x4 stamp. I stayed with them for about 3 years before I finally had to cancel. I was drowning in embellishments. They did away with the stamps in each kit I think in year 2. I still have quite a few kits that I haven't even touched yet, including the original black and white kit (if that's the kit that came in the bag with black bows on it).

lisacharlotte drowning was a good description! I would be very interested in this if I didn't have a good stash.
I have a continuing conflict because my heart wants to support the industry while my pocketbook cries Uncle!

It's a nice option to have an embellishment based kit. I'm sure I'm not the only one with more than enough paper.

Honestly? I don't like that there aren't any 4x6 cards. A bunch of 4x6 or 6x8 patterns to go with a few 3x4 cards would make sense, but the idea of just having 3x4 cards means that it would still be an incomplete kit. My Gossamer Blue kits were 25.95 shipped without the need to ever add anything else unless I wanted to AND it included a stamp. I find that FF is nice and all, but it's way too expensive for what you get. There is usually a piece or two that I think is fantastic, but the rest is just filler. I don't need nor do I want flair every month...I stopped using it for the most part (even though I have a machine to make them) because they are incredibly bulky. Sequins are cheap and I have more than I could ever use...and I really don't use them hardly at all. I can't remember the last time.

If they wanted to add more, I think they should have gone all in with one option or just offered better add-ons every month instead of whatever they are trying to do with 3x4 cards and letter sized paper. Letter sized paper is strange...it's not the most common scrapbooking size. The only size it's best used for is cards, but they aren't even advertising it that way. They could have tried to market a card making option, but they didn't do that...they simply called it 'paper'. Card making kits are gaining steam, they'd have been able to appeal to people with letter sized papers (or even premade card bases), sentiment stickers and possibly a few die cuts along with the embellishments they're known for. I guess more than anything, I'm confused at who their target is.
