JeannieH Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 OK, I am officially over whelmed. I have been looking for some basic kits/ papers to add to my collection. But, After a very long search am over whelmed. Any suggestions? Advice greatly appreciated. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferZ Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Oooh, gosh -- this is a toughie...what types of pages/projects do you do? Do you like clean, realistic, shabby, vintage? Do you scrap boys, girls, events? Do you want to scrap all of your old family photos? Are you making a baby book? There is definitely something for everyone in our boutique, so if you give us some hints, we will be glad to make personal recommendations!

April Showers Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 There is so much! I was a little overwhelmed at first in the boutique too. I found the best way to build my stash was by subscribing to the monthly club. There are some good basics though. I'll try to grab a few links for you.

Laurel Lakey Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I agree with April - the monthly club is always such a good addition to your stash, as the themes and colors are very adaptable to any type of scrapping that you may be doing. And it really helps to start a good collection if you're just beginning to collect digital scrapbooking goodies. All for such a great price, I mean really, you can't go wrong with the club! And yes, I'd say that even if I wasn't a designer here, heehee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nica Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Here are some of my go to collections as of recently: Fresh Blossom Collection Biggie Buttercup Collection Boy Joy Collection Biggie Picturesque Collection Biggie Value Pack: Life Is Sweet I can't say that they're very "basic", but I find myself using pieces and parts quite often.

Smiles Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I choose kits based on what feelings they evoke in me. They need to really call my name. The club kits are a great value for the money, and a great way to build a very useful stash. The trick is to keep your budget in mind, watch for the sales, and not to stress. You can play with the wish list option now, and identify things you think you'd like to have. I also am amazed how many times a freebie will be exactly what I need to fill in for a hole in my collection. Don't forget, this is supposed to be fun!

jenrou Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The monthly SG Club was one of the first things I joined, and I still love it each month. The Srapsimple club is a bit more advanced, and while I still subscrible, I seldom use it. Those that are more experienced love it, though. You get more for your money with the SG Club, and if there is a coupons sale you can get it on sale, but only with the coupon sales. Also, I look throught the gallery and see which layouts I like best and often order the kits they used. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
