The UNCERTAINTY kit. Make it Your Own!

Our December kit, UNCERTAINTY, will give you the special opportunity to explore what you don’t know…yet. Life is full of mystery…some of it is unknown, and some is unknowable. How do you handle the ambiguity, confusion and unpredictability that is a natural part of the complicated lives we lead.

The symbolism in this kit is unique to you…go on and make it yours! Tell your secret stories with a great mixture of beautiful paper and embellishments from Basic Grey’s Little Black Dress, My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found 2, and Jenni Bowlin’s Haven.

Black, Cream, Oatmeal and Nude let you customize your layouts your way. We’ve added in a sweet array of naked embellishments in all different materials – a chipboard signpost to determine your direction, Pink Paislee mistables die-cut tags, fabric flowers and trim. Alterable alphas and two custom mini bottles of Tattered Angels glimmer mists!

Your life is what you make it – complex, rich, and imbued with the color YOU decide. Join us!

They sure deserve it...
