April Kit

This is a sneak peek at the April Kit papers


If you would like to order one please email me at bagotrix@hotmail.com I will notify you by return email if you have responded in time to secure a kit for April. Any ladies going on the March retreat will be able to collect their kit then. (sorry but the rest of this all seems to be upside down!!) See details at the beginning of blog on kits.

This is a glimpse of the papers only - there are also embellishments to go with the papers.
There are now only 2 of these kits available.

This is the front cover of my mini album. I inked over the front then added Ranger stickles on the features then coated with Dimensional Magic and have added Prima flower centres for the eyes.

Wow isn't the resemblance to the famous Bob Irwin uncanny. This little fella is Sam! He is a bit of a wagg this kid ~ he belongs to my cousin. Ok, enough of the introductions, what have I done here. I have made the flowers - same as on the Amelia layout (cut from the thermo paper supplied) and zinged them up with Ranger stickles and Smooch inks. Smooch looks better IRL. I freehand cut the tree, bird house and the clouds and then dry embossed the clouds using cuttlebug. I freehand cut the fence and used ink and pen to 'grubby' it up a bit. Love the Martha Stewart edge punches - used it on the orange horizontal piece of papers and have used Tattered Angels glimmermist (Black Gold) around the outside of the page.

Now doesn't this little girl have character!? She is Amelia, my niece's adorable little one. So cute!!! On this layout I have used an owl from the mini album and have added scalloped frills, I have also used a prima flower for eyelashes and prima flower centres for the eyes. For the title I have added Scenic Route and Carolees Creations aplhabets. Also I have cut the ovals to be flowers from the thermo paper suppled and have glammed them up with Ranger stickles and Smooch inks. Again I have delved into my collection of Martha Stewart edge punches. And what layout would be complete without a spray of Tattered Angels glimmer mist (Coffee Shop ~my favourite).

This layout is of my sister Natasha and her fiance Dylon. Again I have added the Scenic Route alphabet stickers for the 2008 title, and I have also added a square of calico. You will see my faux stitching around the calico using a brown pen. I have edged the cardstock using my Martha Stewart rings edge and corner punches.

This layout of Deklan was a great way of showing you can use flowers on a layout about a boy. I have added my title using Scenic Route alphabet stickers and used my Martha Stewart Birds on a Wire edge punch.


This kit has now sold out!
What a lot of fun I had with this kit: see the 4 layouts and the mini album I created.

Welcome to Bag O' Trix Scrap Kits

Hi and Welcome,

I want to thank you for making your way to this blog!

What is Bag O' Trix?
For some time I have been purchasing items for friends at reduced costs, have been running retreats making up challenges and workshops etc and when I have time, scrapping. I love all the new products that are available and there are also some great places to buy ready made kits, however, I found that the ones I liked had a 3 month waiting list and when I thought about it, I had already ordered the products in the kits for myself anyhow. The cost of posting some of the kits internationally was also a huge consideration!! So with that in mind and the gentle persuasion (pressure) from a few friends I have decided to make up and market my own scrap kits. Bag O' Trix Scrap Kits was born.

How does it work?
There will be a new kit each month - in limited supply, ie when a kit is sold out then it will not be repeated and there will be no backorders. The monthly kits will be released in the first week of each month - you will need to advise beforehand of your intention to order a kit so they can be distributed to you asap and to ensure you do not miss out. I will advise beforehand of the nature or theme of the kit so you are not ordering blindly. So if you do not like the sound of next month's theme you can give it a miss.

What is in the kit?
You will receive enough in the kit to make at least one project a week, ie 4 projects and likely more! They will all vary but will have papers and embellisments but can contain punches, or other tools, or glimmermist or stamps etc.

How much does it cost?
The kits will sell for $60 plus postage. If we can get the kit to you without postage all the better and you will save on the postage costs. Each kit will have a retail value above $60 and more likely to be $70 plus! So great savings. All items in the kit will coordinate so you will not have any pink elephants left over.

What are the benefits of purchasing the kits?
As I mentioned above you will have all the product coordinating so if you are off to a crop you can grab your scrap caddy, trimmer, photos and your Bag O' Trix scrap kit. You will be the envy of all your friends!!!

Also you will be getting value for money in the kits - as I buy in larger quantities I am able to pass on the savings to you.

For every 5th kit you have purchased you will get a 10% discount on that 5th kit.

Your 20th kit will be half price!!!!
For every new customer that you have introduced who purchases a kit you will receive a 10% discount off the purchase of your next kit. You need to tell them to say they were referred by you for you to receive the discount.

Special Offers -
Also from time to time I purchase items that I know I cannot live without and I would like to share my special finds with you too! So I will offer items at special prices on this blog. They will be in limited supply so again first in best dressed. These offers will be randomly posted.

To order simply send an email to bagotrix@hotmail.com

How do you make payment?
Payment can be made either by cash in hand or direct deposit.
