I am switching up gears from stamping to scrapbooking and I'm looking into getting some templates from Kiwi Lane. I have seen their products online before and have been intriqued but have never bought them. Just wondering what people think of them. Are the templates decent quality? Or are they pretty flimsy? I also see that they do "home parties". Not sure if I would have a party since nobody around me scrapbooks anymore. But I'm sure I would place a big enough order to count as one LOL
So if ya have any info on them, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I have several templates from Kiwi Lane. They are wonderful. Sturdy but made of a material that allows you to see through not clearly but enough to help in your layout. My daughter- in- law is a"demonstrator" for Kiwi Lane and she has made some outstanding scrapbook pages. We go to a big crop in Florida and gals stop by our table with interest when she is using the templates. Using Kiwi Lane templates in scrapbooking is a great way to use some forgotten scrapbook paper. You are welcome to PM me for more information,
The templates are sturdy, medium-heavy, flexible plastic. I think mine will last a very long time. Each set includes a 'book ring' onto which they can be held together via the punched hole on each template.
LOVE the Kiwi Lane templates. They are excellent quality and the people are fabulous. With the idea book it has really helped keep me on task and finish layouts faster. I was afraid my pages would begin to look the same and they do not. I don't use them on every page, but I am getting a lot out of the investment. Also, I thought all the cutting would be slow and tedious but I am enjoying the control.
I have the templates for my cards. I love the variety it gives! The templates are study and easy to trace. I don't always use them.....But, it's a nice fall back for a different look!

I really like the Kiwi Lane templates for cards a great way to use up small pieces of scrapbook paper. My DIL got me started and I find myself going to those templates. Every card front is different.
I love Kiwi Lane templates. got some years ago and always use them in scrapbooking. I recently joined Kiwi Lane as a instructor (demo) so my friends and I could order more templates. My collection has grown!!!
They are great quality. Fun to use. I went to a retreat recently and ONLY took them and DSP (and some stamps as accents and titles) and scrapped the whole weekend using the templates. Great way to use up DSP!
OP here. I have to say since originally posting this, I have bought a few templates and have fallen IN LOVE. I will NOT scrapbook without them. They make creating layouts so easy and fun. My next goal is to get ALL the templates, even the retired ones.
