I love Mary Engelbreit illustrations and was a big fan of her magazine Home Companion. I purchased two of these kits, one for myself and one as a gift for a friend. This kit contains 150 design sheets - 5"x7" in size, 10 pages of stickers, 3 ribbons and 10 accent buttons. The artwork is beautiful but I was very disappointed with the paper or design sheets. The paper is very thin. I would have liked a heavier grade of paper to have been used. This paper will have to be handled with TLC.
All in all, it's a nice gift for a first time scrapbooker or someone that loves everything Mary Engelbreit.

OK, I was disappointed...the paper is not scrapbooking paper but more like gift wrapping and it is small...6"x8". But since I bought two I am finding lots of uses for this kind of paper...just not what I intended. The paper is BEAUTIFUL...excellent Mary designs and the cardboard cutouts make great magnets. Lots of stickers...some ribbon so it's very nice just not what I expected to get.

My mother has instilled a love of ME since I was a little girl. I was really excited when I found this product as I scrapbook and would be able to make my own holiday/birthday/occasion cards as well. The designs and pictures are traditional ME and adorable, good variety of holidays and patterns, and bright colors. However, there are maybe a dozen sticker sheets and die cuts, 3 small ribbons, and the remainder of the photos, designs, frames, and picture corners are on super thin flimsy paper. It would have been fine if the photos and patterns were on this paper, however photo corners, tags, borders, and frames are also on this paper which requires the user to cut it all out. How tedious! And on paper only a step up from tissue paper to boot! I honestly doubt I will use any of the photo corners, tags, or flourishes, simply because of the precision cutting that will be involved. The patterned paper and photos will have to be backed with card stock to be useable. Overall, adorable but flimsy.

I love to make greeting cards with Mary's pictures and this kit is so perfect for that. It has a generous supply of both stickers and pictures and fancy paper. Now I don't have to cut and paste my old calendars ............ this box has pretty things already cut for me. Cute ribbons too.

I purchased this as a Christmas present for my mother. We are huge Mary Engelbriet fans in this house and even bigger fans of scrapbooking. In my search for the perfect Christmas gift for my mom, I found this and knew this was it. It comes in a little box with mini papers and a TON of stickers. If there is anything we love in this house more then Mary and scrapbooking, it's stickers.
This is a cute little set and perfect if a longtime scrapbooker, or just getting started. The box is perfect because it helps to keep things organized.
