I had to share this with people who would understand, lol!! we have a small chain of 'recycled entertainment' bookstores around the valley- they have used books, DVDs, movies, CDs, etc. and they also have crafting stuff- sewing patterns, knitting needles, beading supplies, etc. Their scrapbook supplies include stickers, punches, paper, and all sorts of other random stuff that people bring in to recycle for credit towards purchases.
-- I got three 2-pg SB layout kits from Quick Quotes for $3-$4 each-- according to their website their layout kits are $12 each.
-- I also found three complete mini-album kits from The Button Farm company for $12 each-- and I found the prices for each on the website: the kits I found are listed at $55, $56, and $40.
So, even though I spent $$ on scrapbooking stuff, I figure I actually saved over $120!! do you like my rationalizing?!? LOL!!
Even if I don't make every layout and mini album as suggested by the directions, I can use my own stash to put my own spin on the projects and I can use some of the supplies from the kits on other projects of my own. The mini-albums are pretty nice, by themselves- one is a Tattered Angels gatefold album that's 7x5 (landscape orientation) with supplies from the Glitz and Kaisercraft companies, one makes a 5x7 chipboard album and includes lots of Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsiesstuff, and the third is a 8x8 chipboard album that includes pocket pages and all the supplies are Basic Grey, from the Clippings line.
So I know what I'll be doing this winter!! making mini albums!!
