Yearning Kit

Overview

Scrapbooking from the Inside Out approaches kits differently. Each month the kit is designed around a specific emotion, and includes products that can help you express what that emotion means in your life. The club offers one mega kit with a 6-month subscription price of $42.95. The kit can be considered as a main kit plus and add-on in one package. A 3-month membership is $44.95 and kits can be purchased individually for $46.95.  One skip is allowed with a 3-month subscription, and two skips with a 6-month subscription. The club ships to the US and Internationally.

From the website:

We create our kits around a different emotion each month – and give you all the support and encouragement you need to dream, imagine, hope, and wish through scrapbooking. We are an online community for scrapbookers doing the ‘deep work’ of creating rich and meaningful lives. Our kits will inspire you like nothing else to put your heart on the page.

What’s different about Scrapbooking from the Inside Out?

Value ~ Save money – our kits come complete. The only thing you’ll have to add-on is your imagination. One price gets you patterned and specialty paper, two alpha sets, color, a stamp and cardstock. We customize each kit to contain just the right amount of a lot of fantastic embellishments, so you won’t be left with half-opened packages of things you won’t use.

Variety ~ We work with over 30 manufacturers to insure that each kit is cutting-edge, beautiful and innovative. Each month tells a totally different story – no two kits are alike.

Inspiration ~ Each kit is based on an emotion and developed using color, design and icons that reflect the theme. Our monthly Inspiration Page provides a music playlist, journaling prompts, quotes, photos and links that fuel your creativity. Our monthly challenges encourage a deeper kind of expression.

Heart~   At SFTIO you can be fully expressed without repercussions…and with artistic confidence. Our supportive, deep, and kind community of creative women share themselves through their art. Our focus is on YOU and your emotional life…what you love, what matters most and all facets of who you truly are.

Not a kit club…a kit community…explore YOUR inner world…
