New Kit!!!! I goofed...

Hey there!

I guess you could say that I "goofed", but I had two kits in mind, and since I am totally "feeling" the AUTUMN bug around here, the fall- themed kit wins! The Dozens will be releasing a November kit, and saving the "Pop Art" for a time beyond the cooler holiday season. They are all so good, I think I just couldn't wait, but my sentiment and the wonderful season has helped me make my decision. AND It will not disappoint!!!

The November kit, slated to release a few days before the month starts, is one very near and dear to my heart, and seeing that my birthday is tomorrow, I'm all for the fall and ...

"ART DECO." Here's a delicious sneak peek...

The period pop and vintage flair, coupled with the gloriousness of harvest time is sure to capture your heart. New American Crafts, Making Memories, Anna Griffin and more. You'll be reminiscing with Frank Lloyd Wright, sipping your tea, and relishing in the soft light of your 1920s Arts and Crafts home. This kit is IT.  :)

WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

CAN YOU SAY "ANDY WARHOL"? CAN YOU SAY "STUDIO 54"?

Tell all your Dozens admirers that they can once again get a box of scrappy heaven right at their doorstep. We're coming with an October kit that's sure to delight. Sneak peeks soon!!

We will be releasing super-hot limited edition Pop-Art-esque kit full of yummy new stuff and superb vintage and cool exclusives. You definitely won't want to miss it!!

Her name is Stella Lorraine and when born, she was 7 lbs. 13 oz. Now, she's over 10 pounds and growing like a weed! :)  I will share with you a picture from the hospital and one when she'd arrived home from the hospital, but just trying to balance things out at home--I haven't developed any pictures as of yet! (Many of you know, my preferred photo is one taken with film!! LOL)

I certainly hope you are enjoyig your summer. We will be ending the clearance sale, as product availability is waning. You may see some of this fun product in "grab bags" to come. Be safe and happy!

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.

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...

♥Barbara

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")

Enjoy, and I'll keep at the site!!
