Loved watching you put your own kit together!

[@amandalaplante943]

Love the use it or lose it series and love watching you put together these kits!

[@MJBRigby]

I love you for doing these videos! The whole "old meets new" concept...cuz who can resist some of those new products.....but I've been scrapping (and collecting) for 26 years, and my stash is out of control! Thank you Jen! -Marta

[@cives2008]

What a great idea Jen! I think this is just what I need to start using my "stuff!"

[@DianaTrout]

I enjoyed seeing your thought process esp. in terms of the color range! Very cool. And I agree: giving the distress/vintage an update with clean, modern look. Nice and thanks

[@karencooper2703]

Beautiful kit. Papers look like they were made to use together ❤.

[@whimsyfox]

At the beginning I was thinking those papers just don’t jive, but by the end I was amazed at how perfect it all looks together. Mixing old with new is one of my favorite things to do, so I’m super excited to see you bring new life into the vintage distressed stickers and papers!

[@kayhahn5551]

I'm really excited to see how you use this kit! I have so many different things that I should use so I think I will try putting a stash kit together!

[@angelaserendipityarts5294]

Awesome kit love your rational to get the kit toghether.

[@susancarter1441]

I can't wait to see your pages from this stash kit!

[@Creeative_Pearls]

So looking forward to seeing the layouts you create from this stash kit. Plus I want to see what you do with the eyelets! 😊👍

[@raeraesma]

It's a great kit! I love how you added so many dimensional embellishments, and the black and white. I'll look forward to your videos. Take care, Kim :)

I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@aliciacassio4215]

This is a great idea for old stash. I wish I had the eye to do this but I am just not good at relating papers. It's why I end up using a lot of card stock when not using a purchased kit.

[@Valeriearts2]

Looks like a great kit. Looking forward to see what you make.

[@peniandrews165]

just found your channel, subscribed and joined FB group

[@MLLatUtube]

Very interesting - love those colors - thank you for sharing

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Basic grey! 💙💙💙

[@ClearlyCards]

Brilliant!!!

[@annehoyle3581]

Looking forward to seeing how you is the kit.

[@jessicascraps4010]

Love this idea

[@DanaK817]

What a great idea! My question is how many layouts would you typically make with a kit of this size? I'm looking forward to seeing your creations...I love paper so I have a ton of old stuff!! I love this series!

[@craftyjenschow]

I'm hoping to make 10!

[@teresamedeiros7312]

You are a great teacher and Yay on the eyelets use it or lose it! What is the name of the Ali Edwards stamp set?

[@craftyjenschow]

It's called My Life. Really old, but you might be able to find it on Ebay or something!

[@leamercer1634]

What container are you using to store your kit?

[@craftyjenschow]

I use an Iris Case and craft tray insert that I got at Michaels. You used to be able to find the inserts on Amazon as well, but I can't find them now. :(

[@lisadavis4807]

I love this idea! How long did it take you to put together?

[@craftyjenschow]

It took about an hour. I rambled through it live over in my Crafty Use It or Lose It Facebook group (link in video description if you're interested).

[@melissa0174]

This is awesome!! So do u follow a formula or something for kit making ? Just curious - I love stash bashing it feels so great to challenge myself

[@craftyjenschow]

Sort of...I like to use 10-15 patterned papers, a few cardstocks, a large and a small alphabet, a sticker or chipboard sheet, a set of die cuts, and a few other random embellishments. I just add what feels right and what I want to get used up!

[@denisereilly7943]

How do you store your papers....by color or by manufacturer? It’s hard for me to put kits together because my papers are kind of all over. Curious how you do this....thanks.

[@craftyjenschow]

I store by manufacturer. I often flip through all of my paper when making a kit, which isn't the most valuable use of time, but it doesn't bother me. :)

[@dianaryan3564]

This get rid of it attitude does not sound like fun. Give it a chance to make it to a layout sounded more appreciative, more caring. Obviously I'm going to have to learn how to say this better, and repeat it often. An idea.
