Ever since I started scrapbooking for my gremlin I knew I lived in the wrong country. It’s so popular in the States but not so much here. All the big companies are based there and the people I follow on social media are mainly based there.
When I visited my family over in New Jersey last November I was in my element shopping in all the big US crafts shops like Michaels and Hobby Lobby but what I really wanted to do was to sign up to a monthly kit. I see these all over social media but they are all from the States meaning a big fat postage bill.
The one that caught my eye the most as was so bright and colourful was The Hip Kit Club. It was up to date supplies and right up my street. So after some umming and ahhhing and pretending to talk it over with hubby I signed up! I decided to get my kits sent bimonthly so pay about £20 per kit and £15 for shipping for both which is so worth it. The cost of buying the same stuff from the UK is so much more.
And here they are: my January and February Kits.
Hi, I am co-hosting All About You today. Thanks so much for linking up with us. I am Ada. I love arts and crafts but I have never scarp-booked though I love looking at scrap-books. Gotta start my own soon. Great post!
Thanks for the comnment! xx
What a lovely thing to do!! And you're so right — the Americans do crafting so much bigger and better than we do!! I am OBSESSED with their stationery shops!! Letterpress printing is huge there and has only taken off here again in the last few years! X
