Artbase have their pizza grab boxes on again!

[soapbox]

This was a defining moment for me - my pizza box from Artbase was my first A&C purchase! And I'm still addicted to buying stash 6 months one

\link{http://www.artbasehornchurch.com/acatalog/Special_Offers_.html\here they are!}

That should say 6 months on

ooooooo I shouldn't have looked ...... come on then what sort of stash was in your box?

I've only just ordered this one today - so will let you know when I get it.

Last time it was chocka with lots of great stuff. There are a couple of sunflowery kind of papers which I have never used and I had to repaint a mixed box of making memories metalware as it was a bogging colour, but otherwise I used everything in the box. IIRC I got about £54 worth of stuff for £25 last time!

Going to get one although we are away next week so will have to wait to play ! Thanks for the tip off

you must tell them it's separately

It is indeed Zippi

I fancy one but am unsure about the colours

I wondered what sort of stuff was in them - I assume its the leftovers !

Anyone fancy buying one & splitting ?? I'd trust a trustyworthy MNetter not to give me all the yukky stuff !!

I saw it last night and decided against it BUT had another look jusst now soapy- and I couldn't resist!!!!

i got one last year but wasnt impressed tbh, most of the stuff i still have in a drawer and think ill let my neice play around with them when she comes to scrapbook with me

What sort of stuff was in there Jenk?

Here's the thread from the last time - a few people wrote a bit about what they got in the box.

mine just seemed to be full of things that i wouldnt use, quite naff papers and maybe it was just me but i felt disapointed with it, id much rather order from JM

Oooh! Oooh!

ooo I don't know what to do........[anguish icon]

You can always sell on/offer as a swap anything you won't use...

I've just bought Lollipop alphabet on Ebay so I will resist the grab box ! Well it was a bargain & I have been dithering for ages to buy it

Thats it now - NO MORE alphabets for me - don't let me girls !!!!!

the grab box was fab for getting stuff - if u know what I mean. When I was starting out it was fabulous to just have a play. They did a good job colour coordinating the bits and pieces but, as you say Whizz, I suspect it's lots of end of stock etc. I haven't used a lot of it but then I haven't used loads of what I have managed to accumulate :)

Mine arrived today and loads of lovely stuff in it but some bits more suitable to boys so have put them up for swap on UKS

Mine's just arrived and I@m about to dive into it whilst BabyDragon is asleep...

well.......

i want to know whether to order one

katzg- personally I don't think I'll bother again-far better to buy a kit i think from soemwhere like jelliebeans scrapyard.

There were papers in the box plus laods of embekllies but have bnoticed on the site that most of the stuff in the box is now reduced so don't know whether it would be worth what they say at the reduced prices. I think it would be better if there was an option to buy a girly box or a boyish box. Lots of the stuff in mine is very masculine and I have a dd.

thanks - think i will save my money and spend it at the scrapbook party i'm going to tonight

Is that the one that scripscrapping are doing? The one Hula's going to?

Scripscrapping have some lush stash

Mine was great - about £66 worth of stuff for £30 which is pretty good going!

A couple of the papers are not quite me, but I did get some really gorgeous one's too - nice pale, blues, lime greens and lemons.

There were certainly a few things in there that I would never have paid full price for though - glass brads at £4.65 and tailored letters at £7.90!!

It helps though that I have a boy and a girl because as PF says some of it was quite masculine colourwise.

Overall I'm really pleased with it though:)
