Hello everyone
Now, i've been looking around at kits in the UK and think there are some pretty good ones out there.
Whilst i call this a review it's more of a peek into what's out there.
I don't personally sub to any kits anymore but am looking into it.
I think a lot of people tend to subscribe to overseas kits, which i can see the advantage of, but there are also huge disadvantages like the waiting time and postal and customs charges.
So here are some of the many kits on offer in the good ol' UK.
Please excuse me if i have missed anyone off!
For anyone who has a love of altered art. Jeans work is simply amazing. You can check some of it out here - Alter That Blog. Kits are generally £15 but others are available.
Gorgeous Ribbon kits. Also available to non subscribers but subscribing is cheaper. You also receive a code for 10% off other stock when you subscribe. Kits cost £11 which includes postage.
Some gorgeous colourful kits priced at £20 + P&P. The website has lots of ideas and articles for you to download and also has a blog - Bellaboo blog and great gallery.

Great reviews. And I live in the UK - although sometimes I get charged additional postage, as it is Northern Ireland. Must check some of these out. I am more of a digi-scrapper, but I do like to get sticky and glue-y every now and then.
Thanks.
