Default Favorite kit to use over and over and over....

I was going through my gallery and I realized that I've used this kit probably SIX times!!!! I love everything about it!! The colors, the ellies (there are lots of them), the papers, etc. Don't forget about the cute alpha!!!

Is there a kit that you use over and over??? Or.....are you a one layout per kit girl?

I tend to be a one layout per kit scrapper, but I'm determined to change that

I'll have to come back to this thread later to say which kit I've gone back to again and again.

I have that kit on my wish list... I'll have to take a look at your gallery and see how you've used it.

I find that I use Cherry Limeade and Rambunctious a lot.

I have "It's Elementary", I can't wait to use it when I take pictures of my daughter's first day of Kindergarten next month!

I'm more of a one or two layouts per kit kinda girl, but I have some basics that I use over and over again, like Traci's stitches and this paper pack by Shawna.

I can't afford to just use each kit once so I tend to use most of my stash over & over. It's something I look for in a kit. Versatility.

I use almost every kit I buy here more then once. I tend to only buy what I think I will use over and over again because I have such a limited amount of money to spend on kits.

I usually get two to three layouts per kit. But I have like three kits that I love & will use any chance I can get.

Heather & Tracey's Carefree collab is probably what I've used most. Love the colors and it's just a good go-to that works for a lot of different types of pages.

I tend to be a one page per kit scrapper with rare exceptions. The one kit I've used most is a retired kit from Heather: Summer Wishes. I used it for four pages.

I just used Libby's new Perfect Pair with Kristin Aagard twice.

It depends. If I spend more than $3 on a kit, then I WILL find a way to use it more than once. LOL There is a site that I have bought kits from -- they are darling and they are only $1.50. It does not bother me then to use the kit only once.

I tend to use school theme kits over and over, because not only do I scrap my kids' pictures, but I also scan and scrap their awards, report cards, etc. So I have absolutely no problem spending a lot on those kits -- they get used A LOT!

There are two that I have used multiple times and will probably use again...



and



I could think of many more that I've ALMOST used more than once, but usually my brain convinces me to use a kit I haven't used before.

I also really, REALLY want that It's Elementary kit because it is krafty deliciousness, but I have none of that subject to scrap yet!

I have used this one for many layouts (usually the ones that get the most compliments on facebook!) and I'm IN LOVE with it!



And this was the first kit I ever bought at SSD, and I use it over and over again, especially for my Book of Me pages!

i really try to pick kits that are versatile. i tend to reuse Kristin's kits a ton. Also Lauren's and specifically Julie's Rambunctious.

I have used Dani's It's Elementary several times and can't wait to use it again this month! I seriously don't think I will buy another school kit because that one is the absolute best for me!

I have also used Julie's Revolution MANY times. I actually have to talk myself out of using it AGAIN and go to one of the kits that hasn't been used yet! LOL

Also, one I love that I have used several times is Retro Boy by Fee. Love it.

This is a great question... I had to think about it. There are a number of kits I go to time and time again... here are just a few of my favs.

Heather and Libby's All in a day's work.... I've used it probably on 5-6 layouts.



Libby's Bee's Knees... I've used this on 3 layouts


Julie's Traffic jam... 4 layouts


And of course Hip-to-Be by Traci... it was the kit based on my idea for her custom idea kit contest... I used it on my prego album, so that was around 30 pages!!!


Oh, I could go on and on and on...

I tend to use every kit I buy or get from CT at least twice. My pages that face always match. The only problem with this is sometimes i have a good amount of unused kits.

I don't have enough money to use a kit just one time! Especially doing the Portfolio challenges and having to just use stuff from SSD . . . if you look at my pages they all look similar because I use the same kits over and over and over . . . . thankful for the %40 coupons to give me some variety! HA!

I do like using a kit for more times, as I never feel I've used it to the full if I only used it once, but don't force myself to do it. Also, I find that going hybrid has helped me a lot to finally use the potential of all those wonderful papers that I can never do justice in one digi-LO.

My record-breaker was from another store, I did as much as 14 LOs with it (here be the link to my website to see the actual LOs).

Here at SSD my most used one is Little Miss Sassy Pants by MandaBean, Susan Bartolini, Kristin Cronin-Barrow & Robin Carlton, a Special Limited Edition Kit. I used it about 6 times so far and I just feel there's more coming.



I also love Misty's Blue Skies Smiling (used it 3 times so far):



And Zoe's Persimonn (3 times) and Pretty as a Picture (4 times):





Kristin Cronin-Barrow's Lil' Sailor is also a hit with me (I guess 5 times):



This is why I rarely delete stuff - I love to keep coming back to things.

I have quite a few kits that I've used multiple times (and I'm really bad for only using most kits once!):

I'm pretty new here too and I just found out about the Quarterly Assortments - they're a HUGE collection of mini kits for only $4.00 for the entire assortment. They'd make good base of kits to make some portfolio layouts to get the sweet rewards discount. There are also some great looking kits in the penny candy section for 30% off.

I'm with you... I'm watching this thread and have a few of the kits mentioned here on my wishlist

I used this over and over for a Vegas book {that I am not done with}


and I have used Melissa's 2 Disney Kits and Libby's Disney kit over and over and over!




and I LOVE KCB's Tropical Hideaway!!! I have used it for a single page and a 2 pager and am sure I will be using it again soon!!!


and after seeing some of Vanessa's albums I was inspired to try to use each kit twice and have my facing pages match and so far I am loving how the 2matching pages looks!

That's a really lovely kit.

Great idea to have started this thread, Kjersti. It helped me to sort out that I wasn't such a waster after all. And it's great to see all those versatile kits tips. :-)
