Reveal of Last Kit

It’s FINALLY time to reveal our last kit ever. It has been a LONG wait for these products to arrive, and I am so thankful for our subscribers patience and understanding in this matter.

With this reveal I close the Crazy Monday Kits book. The sale in the shop is still on (use code SALE50 for 50% off all products when spending $10), but there will be no more kits. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to ALL customers & subscribers, old and current, and for all the support I have received from around the world. The scrapbooking industry is a tough business, but it’s filled with amazing people.

So, without further ado, here is the last kit that will make its way to our subscribers starting today:

“This is our week” with Annelie – Day 3 & 4

Hi Crazy Monday Fans! Today I’m sharing day 3 & 4 of my “This Is Our Week” album. Here is a run down of what I did:

  • For my album I am using a Studio Calico “Handbook” album that has been collecting dust for a while in my scrap studio.
  • I have of course used the “This Is Our Week” kit from the shop. I’ve also used some old and new shop & kit items, plus Becky Higgins cards from my stash.
  • I took photos with my Instax, and with my iPhone. The iPhone photos were edited in the “PicTapGo” app.
  • The 3×4 photos were made as collages in Becky Higgins Project Life App before I printed them.
  • I printed my iPhone photos on my Selphy.
  • I also dusted off my typewriter and used that for my journaling, and my sewing machine has also got a bit of a workout!
  • I found that the pockets for my album didn’t really hold photos and cards, so I used my Tim Holtz mini stapler to fasten them. Does it bother me? Nope. It’s more important that people can look through the album without things falling out!

OK – here we go:

News

Hi Crazy Monday Fans!

Today I’m writing a post I was hoping to not having to write in a VERY long time. I have news. Disappointing and for me – heartbreaking – news.

The November Scrapbook Kit will be the LAST main scrapbooking kit from Crazy Monday Kits.

The Embellishment Kit will continue for now. More numbers might be added depending on interest. And the shop will still be open. New products will be added from time to time. But the MAIN KIT will finish with the November kit.

I have LOVED planning and making up the kits for the last 2 1/2 years. Absolutely LOVED it. And I think my subscribers have been happy with the kits. But the stress of the delays of deliveries, and not being able to give my customers the BEST service has taken a toll on me. And if I’m completely honest – I haven’t sold enough. Scrapbooking is a TOUGH business to be in!

I’d like to apologise to all my loyal subscribers, some of you have been with me since the very beginning! And to all the GDT’s in waiting – I’m sorry. I hope you get to share your talent elsewhere.

For any questions or comments, or to be put on the Embellishment wait list, please email me on crazymondaykits@gmail.com

Thank you!
