Changes Come

Running Red Velvet Kit Club has been a treat. I've been honored to feature a variety of artistic Guest Designers and host a talented Design Team that never failed to bring out the best in each month's kit. I've enjoyed the loyalty of scrappers that have been with us from the start and appreciated every new subscriber along the way. If ever you've been a part of RVKC, I thank you.

However, (big sigh) the December kit marked the last scrapbook kit from our little club. After much thought and a few candid conversations with close friends, Brett and I have decided to close up shop and redirect our energies into a new business opportunity. We will no longer be managing all aspects of a small business but contributing to part of a larger one. I'm collaborating with Elsie Flannigan on craft kits that will be sold from her new online store, Red Velvet Art, which opens in February 2009.  We're excited about the chance to work together and hope you'll be just as thrilled with the craft kits we'll be putting out each month.  They will be available from her online store starting in February.

We're wrapping things up in January with a clearance sale to move out the last of the product on our shelves.  Previous kits, partial kits, and individual items will be on sale from January 2nd through January 9th, after which the remaining items will be donated.  With the economy affecting us all in different ways, its a great opportunity to get product at a greatly reduced price.

We're thankful for all the ways you've supported, encouraged and sometimes had to be patient with this little business over the months.  Most of all I want Michelle, Marie, Theresa and Jen to know how talented I think they are and how much they've made this kit club better.  You girls made this job so much easier.

On that note, stay tuned for Michelle's latest pages and a fun tutorial.  We'll post a reminder about the clearance sale later this week.  Most of all, have a wonderful holiday full of new memories to document. 

Blessing to all,
Rachel and Brett

So sorry to read this. I only discovered this club recently and have been waiting for the $AU to go up a bit so I could purchase one (it was just too cost prohibitive at the moment - if only I'd found you six months ago!)
Hopefully something in your sale will be affordable after conversion and I can get a taste before you disappear. Good luck with your future ventures!

When one door closes, another one opens. Although I'm sad to see you talented gals let go of the kit club (will miss the inspiration sooo much!), I am also looking forward to what you gals will be doing with Elsie! How exciting! Good luck and Merry Christmas! =)

So sad to read as I just subscribed, but happy for you at the same time and looking forward to whats sure to be something else really amazing.

I totally get this... but am also a bit sad about not having your kits to tempt me! Though shipping down under meant I couldn't often afford them, I was always thrilled when I did get one, your collections are so inspiring.

I'm sure you will relish the change and new creative opportunities - have fun with it, and good luck :)

[Cynthia]

Oh best of luck:) The new adventure seems grand:)

[Veronica]

So bummed. I wish you well in your new business!

Yay for fun new opportunities!
