DIY Scrapbook Kit

This past summer I got into Listers Gotta List and it was quite the scrapbooking gateway drug! Lol!  But seriously, scrapbooking is now my crafting guilty pleasure ^.^  Today I want to show you how I've started making my own scrapbook kits.  I've linked all the available products or substitutes as I go along.

Since I'm a beginning scrapper, I watch a lot of tutorials and process videos on YouTube.  A bunch of the people on there talk about the kit clubs they're a part of and I thought the idea was pretty cool.  So I decided to create a Disney themed scrapbook kit to use with Lamar and my anniversary photos.  Of course I have a TON of pictures from the trip to Disney World because it was my first time and why not photograph everything :)  {Oh, also I printed all of them through shutterfly.com because they frequently put out 101 free print offers.  After shipping you only pay like $9 so I gather a whole batch and print everything at the same time.  I'm in the process now of checking out other sites, but for the time being shutterfly is working for me.}
 

In preparation for scrapbooking my pictures, I took a couple trips to my local craft stores where I found the Sn@p! Say Cheese collection which is Disney themed.  I also picked up some other pattern paper from another designer that coordinated.

I couldn't find a link to the exact pack I bought, but here is a link to a similar set <here>

Next were stickers.  When Lamar first told me we were going to Disney for our anniversary, I went right out and bought some Mickey & Minnie stickers.  I found a good size set at Joann's (on the right in the photo).  Later on I found the sticker sheet that went with the Say Cheese set at Hobby Lobby.  Thumbs up for both finds ^.^

I also added in a lot of letter stickers... mostly because I wanted to have options.  So there are probably WAY more than I'll actually use, but whatever.  I'm also finding that I have a weakness for letter stickers... I always want to buy them.  It's getting ridiculous. lol!  The letters are from all over the place: Dollar Tree, Tuesday Morning, Michaels, Joann's, Hobby Lobby.  You know, my regular haunts :)  I tried to keep everything to the traditional Disney color scheme with the blue tossed in as an accent.

The next supply addition to my Disney kit was the Sn@p! Say Cheese pocket page set.  The set came with 2x2, 3x4, 4x4 & 4x6 cards and a bunch of die cut pieces.  Just a whole lotta happy!

Last, but certainly not least, is the "memorabilia."  I kept our maps, pins, scan cards (well only mine, Lamar has lost his -___-), photo claim card, and game map and cards from the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game.

So that's it.  All this stuff fits into a little case I found at Hobby Lobby and I plan to start scrapbooking Disney World soon ^.^  I think I might add some washi tape into the mix and maybe some stamps, but I'm going to keep those out of the container.

If you're a scrapbooker or a crafter, do you ever make 'kits' or separate all your project supplies?  Does it help you in your process?  What do you think of my first kit?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
