Review on Ella & Viv by Reminisce (ELLLX) 50 Shades Scrapbook Collection Kit, Versatile Multi-Color Palette by Karla Richter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Only 12 front and back sheets!

I don't like being led astray. The description and package says you will receive 2 sheets of each design and shows 12 different designs which means 24 sheets. But that's a lie, actually you get 2 motifs per sheet (different design on the front and back), a total of 12 sheets. Basically I got HALF the sheets I thought I was paying for. If you look at the picture of the product, there are 12 different designs on the top of the box. You will not receive 2 sheets for each of these designs. Instead, the 6 designs you see in the top row are the "front" and the 6 images in the second row are the "back". Let me explain the big problem: when you're organizing a scrapbook, you usually need cohesion as you flip through the pages. For example, when a book is open, you typically want the left-page background design to match the right-page background, not two different designs that overlap. But since these pages have designs on both sides, you cannot keep the same designs together. Let me use "stripes" versus "dots" as an example. This set consists of 2 striped pages with dots on the back. If I open my book with page 6 on the left and page 7 on the right and I want them to have the same " I will use the dots as the background of page 5, as well as the background of page 8, but far apart. In strips, the points can never be next to each other. So you're stuck with either a background mismatch for facings 4 and 5 OR for facings 8 and 9. OR . They just use another sheet/design to cover the dots making them useless. I will use the dots as the background of page 5, as well as the background of page 8, but far apart.
