I Have The Best New Job!
I recently got the best job! The Scrapbook Nook, my favorite scrap store, hired me to design their kits for their monthly kit club, The Home Scrap Club. This means I get paid to go shopping and coordinate beautiful scrapbooking goodies into a kit, and then I get to take that kit and design example layouts and projects from it. And, it gets better. I also was hired to manage their very first Design Team, which means I got to select a fabulous group of insanely talented scrapbookers to work with, and we are currently playing over at the store’s message board and gallery. I say playing, because designing art, chatting it up and sharing a passion, baby, this ain’t work!
These are the things I’ve designed from our fully loaded February kit. It includes 10 sheets of the Basic Grey Blush paper and monograms, matching SEI buttons, coordinating grosgrain and velvet ribbons, cardstock, and a totally awesome tin packed with Maya Road chipboard hearts.
Each month I will be packing the kits full of the newest, hottest scrapbooking materials (I’m stalking the CHA new release sneak peeks right now lol!) Each kit will cost around $25- and for a very limited time, if you sign up for 5 months you get the 6th month totally free. You can also buy them on a month to month basis. And, we ship to anywhere in the world you could possibly live or be stationed, so as a military wife, I’m pretty proud of that! I know scrappy stuff can be hard to come by outside of the USA.
Right now, our Design Team has a little contest going on to see who can get the most new subscribers. (The kit club is pretty small, so it’s a matter of job security to me to find more fun people to come and play). If you love my work and my scrapping style, you will adore these kits. It’s like having a box of inspiration land on your doorstep every month. And if that weren’t enough, every single month, there will be an online class with complete instructions on how to complete one or two layouts or projects using the kits, and over twenty examples of things you can make. So you can’t go wrong!
Go sign up for the kit! And when it gets to the referral spot, make sure you let them know Leah sent you 
Thanks!
Congrats! That is so wonderful that you are able to do something that you truly love! The kits look really cute, I bet you’ll design some awesome layouts.

I’m so excited for the February kit - I’m also a little relieved that it has so much more than pink (since I hadn’t seen the second layout yet). I’m going to have so much fun!
I’ve been getting a rush of expectation each time the postman buzzes us to put a package in the foyer of our building!

Congratulations on your new job! I love your designs, taste, and style, so I’m sure I would probably love your kits–There’s just one problem: Can someone be taught how to do such things? Or is it simply a talent you have?
You mention online classes. Are basic tutorials available? I’m a copier until I learn how to work with things, and then, once I’ve gained confidence, I can branch out (with sewing, cooking, home decorating, etc.), but past scrapbook projects I’ve tried have ended up being horrible! It scares me to spend so much on scrapbook supplies if I don’t know how to use and enjoy them! (But I’d sure love to learn–and yes, I’ve done a few classes at church and such, but nothing has been even similar to your style, and I’ve never liked what I’ve come up with on my own)!
Congratulations again!
