Just thought I would say hello!

Happy Friday everyone!!!! Dana doesn't know I am writing but I was sitting here thinking of the Dozens and how much I missed it. I thought I would let you know that Dana gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on June 11th. I am sure she is super busy with both little ones but hopefully she can share more information with you guys soon! As for me, still the same ol' stuff. Taking care of my crazy 2 year old and my almost 3 month old son. Hope everyone is doing well and missing the dozens as much as I do!!!

DOZENS --- News Flash! ***PLEASE READ***

Hello faithful Dozens blogheads--customers and visitors alike,

As of this month, we will be suspending Main Kit sales until the fall, when me and Barbara's babies are a bit older and we can handle the business of the "kit business." Adjusting to more children and the demands of a web-based business are proving to be quite much!  I have thought long and hard about this decision, but I truly think it is for the best. Our goal has always been to supply you with the best stuff in the best possible way, and with both owners with two newborns, a sluggish economy, and summer on its way, it would be more difficult to continue "full force" over the summer months.

Summer is a slower time for scrapbooking, as many people travel. And the economy speaks for itself. We have had subscription cancellations and more requests for clearance product and free sponsorships than for Main Kits. We've even had some clearance order cancellations!

We WILL, however, offer the remainder of our Main Kits from this year (January-May) and new smaller kits throughout the summer months. Smaller kits will be fun, and Michelle Clement is still on board with some groovy designs, which we'd love to release on a "Pre-Order" basis only. This would mean that you express interest in the preview of the items, and if there's enough interest, we will produce the kit. Please visit the blog for details.

We will be accepting new subscriptions when we re-open our virtual doors, and when the new website is up and running, which many of you know, has been a headache for me. We should resume when things are all set.

Please keep up with us over the next few months as we adjust to life! Please feel free to email us (thedozens[at]hotmail[dot]com) or comment with any thoughts you may have.

xoxo
Dana :) and Barbara

"Wild things" & "Fresh" layouts....

That is a cheesy titled but hopefully it caught your attention. Dana asked me to post some of Michelle's layouts from last months kits! Hope you like =)

So, I got the May kit a couple days ago and I was blown away. I am lucky enough to see the kits as Dana and I search the web putting them together but I am always amazed when I get them in the mail. This one has to be my fav! The colors are so fun and seem to mesh so well. It even got me to scrap a bit. Here are two layouts from the kit.

LilBroThefair

These are just little 8x8 layouts that I am going to put in my Prima Canvas album... I love that thing and cant wait wait till its done!

You must get this kit!!!!

Have a great weekend...

Well, here they are... until the site behaves.

I'm posting this month's kits here on the blog, because the website is still malfunctioning! If you are a subscriber, your kit and invoice will come as scheduled. If you're interested in PURCHASING  A KIT, simply email me at the dozens [at] hotmail [dot] com.Just say which kit you'd like and provide your full name, address, and Paypal email address. Again--very sorry about the blips this month. We're still working with the RAKs...

May Main Kit-- "Fresh Froots"
$38.50 + s/h


This month, we took it upon ourselves to take the wildly popular and sweetly subversive Japanese street style culture and interpret it in a scrapbook kit. You'll love the bright colors, variegated patternes and kooky elements that make this kit a "must-have." There's the new Prima "Rebellious" line, Jenni Bowlin's versatile Crepe Paper Ribbon, new Making Memories "Just Chillin Girl" line--loads of specialty paper (Including "Dis-Oriented" by MR French), vintage Japanese book pages, "Fresh Fruits" cards and the imported yellow camera cabochon is too cute to pass up!

May Add-On Kit- "Dayglo Folio"
$34.50 + s/h


We are very excited to feature the amazingly innovative and edgy creations by Stencil1. This kit features a large 8 1/2 x 11"reusable stencil. The stencils can be used for wall art, or any craft project you dream up. They make for awesome tee-shirts and tote bags, too! Stencil1 also offers sprayable fabric and multisurface inks, and you get two of them in this kit! You also get 2 large portfolios by 7 Gypsies, a canvas adhesive sheet from Claudine Hellmuth Studio, new "Smooch" pearlized ink from ClearSnap, and everything you see here. The folios can be made into art and displayed open, or decorated and used to hold scrapbook pages, cards or other items. THis is completely cool, and the products are premium. You're getting a true deal if you can snag this special kit. There are two stencils available--you CHOOSE the the one you want. Just mention your choice along with your order. (Pick "Glamour Girl" or "Afro Girl")

I know Dana is working as hard as she can on the May Kit... Pregnancy does kick your butt esp. in the end. I promise the kit is worth the wait, we put a lot of time into it!

Thanks for looking!!!!

Hi all--

Trying to sound "chipper" but I just lost HOURS worth of website updating. I had all the kits loaded from the past 3 months, plus the two new May kits and with one click of the "save" button, the entire "Purchase" page was completely erased. I spent the last 3 hours putting up the kits for you and everything PLUS is gone...

I have no more time or energy to spend on this today. I am very sorry for the inconvenience of having to wait for the kit reveal, but I will have to work on it later tonite or tomorrow. Pregnancy has my patience thin, and the web host has pushed me over the edge. Sneak peaks are on the main page: http://www.thedozenskits.com

:(

HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!

We will be posting the awesome May "Fresh Froots" kits and great giveaways today! This month's kit is inspired by Japanese street culture and is loaded with high-energy unique goodies in an amazingly fruity color palette.Be on the lookout!! :)
Here's a peek at the custom stamp this month--"Talk Bubble" Get one in the May kit...
