Let Me Count the Ways...

... that Kindred Creations can inspire you.

1. The Gallery - There are so many ways to explore the gallery. If you want to see the best of the best check out the Top 100 layouts of 2007 . Use the search function if you are looking for something specific, for example I entered digital and came up with 1029 layouts. There is even a section dedicated to sketches.

2. The Store - Whether you are a paper or a digi scrapper there is something to appeal to you in the KC Store. Our digital designers have created over 65 kits in a variety of styles for you to download. On the paper side the store now has KC exclusive chipboard and flowers. And don't forget to check out the Clearance and Last Chance Clearance sections, there are some great bargains to be had.

3. The Forum - This is what attracted me to KC originally. The members have changed over the last few years, but it still is the most welcoming forum I visit. I love that we have paper scrappers, digi scrappers, hybrid scrappers and card makers and everyone is supportive of each other. My favourite sections are Scrapbooking Chat, KC Cafe and DT Challenges.

A little Christmas present

I was using the last kit I created to make gifts tags to use for my Christmas gifts and I thought I would share them with my friends here at Kindred Creations. If you're not my friend yet, it is really easy to sign up and become a member here at Kindred Creations.

I created them in 2 formats, the first is a printable for those who want to keep things simple or are less digital savvy. Please click on the preview to take you to the download location.

The second set is made up of individual jpg files for you to resize/alter and print as you would like. Please click on the preview to take you to the download location.


If you really enjoy the tags the complementary 'Christmas Memories' kit is available to purchase in the store for only $2. There are also many more freebies available both in the store and on the forum.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas.

Basic Grey All About Me Kits 2009

Kindred Creations has the opportunity to participate in a year long program with BasicGrey. At least 12 people would need to participate. Every month each participant would get a kit to create All About Me pages.

Each kit is $18 and you get patterned papers and cardstock from their absolutely newest lines, as well as the embellishments that go with them. The kit also comes with a 2 page sketch and photo step-by-step instructions on how to do the layout (the kit makes more than 1 2 page spread though). At the end of the year all 12 participants would recieve a 13th kit for free!

When you sign up you agree to pay for all twelve kits. You will recieve a recurring bill each month in your email from Kindred Creations for the kit cost + shipping.

Each 2 page spread has a theme:
My Favorite Things
Betcha Didn't Know
This I Believe
A Life Changing Moment
Reveal the Real You
My Circle of Friends
When I was a Kid
I Am Unique
Who Inspires Me
A Letter to Myself + the surprise 13th bonus kit.

I've seen the beautiful papers and embellishments, they are gorgeous! What else would you expect from BasicGrey. Unfortunately they will only let me show you the sample layout for the first month.
