Opening Give Away!

I thought to get more people involved and interested that I should have a give away.  For everyone who becomes a follower they will be entered into a random drawing to win both of April's kits.  The winner will be selected randomly! So share with your friends and spread the news!  Also, if I reach 50 followers by April 1st I will give away another double kit!!  So double the chances!

April's Scrapbook Kits

I am so excited to announce my launch of scrapbooking kits.  A lot of the kits will have Close To My Heart products in them because they are good quality.  They will contain other elements from a variety of companies as well as custom products that are of my own creation.

This is what you can expect each month: Two separate scrapbook kits that include a 12 x 12 double page layout and two cards.  Each kit will follow the same theme but use different papers, embellishments and layouts.  All papers are pre-cut, stamped, distressed, inked, everything!  All you need is adhesive!  There is a layout included to help you will putting your page and cards together, as well as a step by step guide.  When appropriate there will be two different titles included in each package so that you may better customize your layout.  Due to supply availability and orders received, the exact papers/embellishments in the previews may differ, however, the layout, number of embellishments and sizes will all remain constant.

These kits are designed for a variety of scrappers. Those who are behind on their books and need a little boost to catch up, those who are short on time, or scrappers who need a little help creating but still like to add their own elements.  That is why I am making kits that would be considered intermediate design level.  They are perfect just the way they are, but there is room in the design to add your own personal touches if you would like. 

Each kit is $12.00 and includes one 12 x 12 double page layout and two cards.  There will be two kits available per month (with the possibility of more to come).  If you order both kits together the cost will be $20 for both.  That is a great price! $8 per layout and $1 per card! Purchases must be made by the 30th of each month to ensure delivery can be made by the 15th of the next month.  International orders please contact me for shipping prices.  U.S. orders outside of Muskegon will be free, and all my Muskegon people, I will hand deliver yours, because I love to see all your beautiful faces!

Please contact me at talldreamsdesign@gmail.com with order inquiry including payments options.  I do paypal as well!  So without further adieu here are April's kits with the theme of springtime!
