One of the best indicators of a great kit is the ability to create layouts with different moods from the same set of supplies (at least in my opinion). The first two layouts I shared from the January Citrus Twist kits were bright and fun. The third layout I made with just supplies from my January box has a totally different feel.
My daughter took a selfie of us together at dinner a couple of weeks ago. I love that we are close and that she likes to post pictures of us together on her social media accounts. And those pictures are some of my favorite to scrap.
We were both wearing shades of black and gray and the photo was pretty neutral - I was afraid all those bright colors would overwhelm the picture. But I found lots of papers in blues and greys in the kit. They kept the focus on the photo and the story.
It's hard to believe these products came from the same set of supplies that I used to create the last couple of layouts I shared. But I love that the kits gave me the option of bright and fun or soft and pretty.
What do you think makes a great kit? I'm currently subscribing to both Citrus Twist and Studio Calico and have to admit to loving them both. But this year is supposed to be one where I use more than I buy in my scraproom. So I keep trying to choose (so far with no decision made.) I'd love your thoughts.
In the meantime, I will just keep getting both and splitting the month. And at least I am (mostly) not shopping outside my monthly boxes from SC and Citrus Twist.
Hope you're having a great week.

Love this. That white space is awesome. I love the soft colors. Pretty layout, pretty photo. I don't have any advice about kits. I don't get them. I get Ali Edwards' Story Kits.
