Note to Self Series - advice and opinions welcome!

[KristinCB]

Kristin and Ru here! We’ve loved working on the Note to Self series (I believe it's been over 5 years now!) and we’d love to know – should we continue with it, or is it time to try something new?

If you're thinking it’s time for a change, we’d love to hear your ideas! What themes, styles, or concepts you like to see in future kits?

[Robin Carlton]

You two should do a new spin-off series. Word to the Wise where you create a series of kits with clever life lessons and messages to the world.

Word to the Wise: It's ok to say No.
Word to the Wise: Eat The Cake, Wear The Glitter, Take the Nap.
Word to the Wise: Your Inbox will Never Be Empty
Word to the Wise: Laundry is Self Care
Word to the Wise: Time is Not Refundable
Word to the Wise: Just Wing It
Word to the Wise: Resting is Productive

I love this idea!

Yay for a boy kit! Kristin, you should definitely make one with Ru!

[LynnZant]

I'm not sure how many you've done; however, I have eleven of them, so I must like them. lol Have you done "NTS - You're not crazy"? I sometimes hear that I am.

[Rubia Padilha]

... but before all that, I wanna make a boy collection with kcb... can someone please help me convincing her? LOL

(and we should totally do that NTS: fuck it - just saying LOL)

Um yes please! I feel like it's my favorite word lately!

And like Kiana said- pretty much anything you two create goes instantly into my cart regardless if I have a use for it or not!

Yes and Yes


(please)

[Kiana]

Peresonally I love the NTS series
I've got 28 of them .... I don't think that's all of them, but close.

I'd love to see a spin off like Robin suggested. I like the word to the wise.
But truthfully, whatever you two create together, I'll most likely buy it.

[karlimarie]

I love the spin off idea!

But like... you two could package up poop and we would still buy it.

I could not agree more to this!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Robin's ideas too!

[HeatherH]

Yes to all boy kits! They are my jam and one from you 2 would be so amazing!

[Scrap-therapy]

Wow so much great ideas! Love Robin's idea!
The boy kit would also be a super cool kit so Go Kristin!
And the NTS Fuck it is also a great idea!;D
Can't wait to see!

[Rubia Padilha]

and how you guys think we could add a boy kit to the 'note to self' series? or we should just make one and call anything else?

I don’t think it has to be a spin-off idea. It could just be its own kit (or series!!)

Yes, the boy kit doesn't have to be part of the NTS collection.

[Scrap-therapy]

Make new one and call anything else!

Oh god yeah... as a mum to two teenage boys.

[jaye]

Note to Self: Watching You Grow (any age child)
Note to Self: Not a Little Boy Anymore

anything the two of you create will be in my possession ♥

[Robin Carlton]

Loooove the pop girlies!

[JillW]

Love the NTS series plus I love Robin's ideas as well!!

I'd love a NTS boy's version too!

I'd totally add a poop kit created by KCB and Ru to my stash!

[lovely1m]

Oh, wow. I really love Robin's idea. I also totally want Ru's idea, too. NTS: Fuck it, and a separate one-off boy kit.

[jacinda]

Anything you two create together will be great. I don't think it necessarily needs to be a series. You could easily do a whole lot of one off themes on whatever inspires you, and it will still sell.

[Romajo]

Love the NTS series and have (used) many of them, I also love Robin's idea.
No boys, except my husband, in our household, so it depends on how it turns out if I coudl use it. Love those ideas that Robin gave to this as well, tho...

So, maybe you should make a compromise, Kristin: go with that boys/men kit as your final kit in the NTS series and then go on with a new 'theme'.
Your different styles combine perfectly together, and as said before, will sell anyway and probably end in my cart...

[angiekey]

Your "Note to Self" series has caused me to create a number of scrapbook layouts I hadn't ever planned to make, but they've become some of my favorites in my "All About Me" album. Thank you for the inspiration and the proucts to create some super meaningful self-reflective layouts!



Now, as for that spin-off series, I am a HUGE FAN of the idea of "Words to the Wise". These could continue to be used in an "all about me" kind of layout, but I love the expansion into sharing words of wisdom with the littles (or not-so littles) in our families. I've actually got a Pinterest board I've been collecting on for years called "Words: Advice for my Girls" https://www.pinterest.com/angiekey/w...-for-my-girls/ and I've intended to use them for inspiration to put together an album filled with advice for my nieces and stepdaughter. I think I've done one layout for it, and that was years ago...



Anyway, all that to say, I LOVE the idea of "Words to the Wise" and can just imagine it making the basis for a fantastic album for my girlies...
