Why I am excited about Simply Scrapbook Pages?

Today I want to share with you one of the reasons why I decided to start a business making page kits. Through the years I have talked to hundreds of people who tell me that they really want to scrapbook and then comes the but.  I have heard everything from,

1. I am not creative enough.

2. I don't have enough time.

3. I couldn't sit still that long.

and of course

4.  Scrapbooking is too expensive.

I am sure that you have heard or maybe even said something along these lines yourself.  Well my answer to all of those buts are,

Have you tried scrapbook layout kits?

1.  My layout kits are creative and come with detailed instructions, precut papers and everything you need to make the layout.  You just supply the glue and pictures.  If you want to be creative then there are places everywhere to add your own flair.

2.  I know you can find a half an hour a week to scrapbook. Each kit will only take you a half and hour or less to put together.  52 layouts in a year and you have a full book.  That's a lot of pages and a lot of memories!

3. Well who said you had to sit!  You can stand and scrapbook if you'd like!  :)

4. Layout kits make scrapbooking affordable.  You don't have to buy a whole package of buttons.  You get exactly the number you need to make your page look great.  Papers are pre cut to lower the cost and you don't have to worry about cutting the wrong size piece and wasting a whole sheet.  You get exactly what you need to make the layout and there is no waste or small scraps to keep up with.

So I came up with a plan to help people with all those scrapbooking roadblocks.  I decided to create layout kits that are easy and fun to make, use the latest and greatest products on the market and make scrapbooking affordable.  Simply Scrapbook Pages was born!

I really hope that you will try a Simply Scrapbook Pages kit soon.  If you do, please leave me a comment and tell me about your experience.  I would love to have your feedback!

P.S.  Don't forget that SSP kits are great to take to crops and retreats.  Just grab your kit, some pictures, scissors and adhesive and you will be all packed and ready to go.

Welcome to Simply Scrapbook Pages

Hi and welcome to Simply Scrapbook Pages.  SSP was created with you in mind.  As a teacher in the scrapbooking industry I quickly learned that most people who loved scrapbooking had a lot of photos and not a lot of time.  So I started creating layout kits for them.  Simple layouts with high quality scrapbooking products where the papers and embellishments were already precut and ready for them to assemble.  Before I knew it they were flying off the shelves at my LSS.

So now I am bringing my layout kits to the internet.  I know you will love them.  They are easy and fun to assemble and include a full color picture and instruction sheet.  They are also the perfect thing to bring with you on your weekend retreats.  Just slip your pictures in the bag and you have everything that you need to make your layout.

Here are a couple of layout kits currently available.  Just click on each picture to see a larger image.

I am really excited about offering these fun and affordable kits to you.  Please let me know if there is a certain style, theme or paper company that you would like to see Simply Scrapbook Pages layout kits use. 

Thank you!
