Hi, everyone! Welcome back to Life on the {Scrap}beach!
Last night June I posted a video on how I make my page kits: Making Page Kits. I store all my completed page kit together in a canvas tote & lately have noticed that even though it is stuff with kits, I am not feeling hugely inspired by any of them. Which means it was time to "retire" the ones that I am not reaching for anymore to make room for new kits that will inspire me.
Well, dismantling a kit and returning the items to my stash is quite the large job & so I must admit that I don't do it as often as I should. When I find that I always skip a particular page kit and never reach for it anymore I take it apart ~ anything left in the kit gets returned to my stash and I now have an empty sleeve for a new kit.
It takes some time to do this, though, because I have to sort out my paper by color, cut down all my scraps to the right sizes, put the embellishments back in their drawers, etc. This is why sometimes I will avoid retiring a kit for a while. Anyways, I decided to just get it over with, however, and retire ALL of the ones I was tired of {which was most of them because I haven't retired a kit in about a year} over the last couple days and now I am DONE! WAHOO!
Just in time, too, because I have a big box coming to me today full of stuff from the new Prima CHA releases. I'm glad that there will actually be room for the stuff now. :D

ReplyDeleteYou know, I got the page kit idea from you and I've to admit it's made my scrapping life a whole lotta easier. Right now, nothing's being put to pasture yet because I still love looking at them lol! But you've a good system...if not used in a year, it gets retired.
Happy Valentines!
