Home | Home & Family | Crafts Now most of you are probably thinking that this sounds like an expensive venture or maybe you love being creative on your own. Well, once you find out a little more about these kits and clubs, you might start changing your tune. I have decided to summarize some of my favorites giving you the lowdown on costs and what they all include (Keep in mind that there are hundreds of kit clubs out there). Many of these are like an actual club where you pay monthly and are sent a kit to complete several layout and pages, instructions included. Others, you can order a kit whenever you wish, but usually end up paying a little more. Just remember the best part about this whole idea is that someone else is doing most of the planning and shopping for you and it can come right to your door. All you do is use all the supplies sent to you, your own little creativity, and you become the scrapbooking goddess you aspire to be!
