Hey ellewood . I have already been used as a referral a couple of times so if someone else would like their name to be used please go ahead. Otherwise, feel free to use my name if no one else steps up. Question...for those who have GB subscriptions, are they listed in your My Account > Subscriptions info on the GB site? I just checked to see if my Life Pages sub is listed and it isn't although it is in my Order section. Is that odd? I just want to make sure. I would think my sub would be listed under Subscriptions. I'm not sure. I have had mine since they used Paypal, so that's how I pay every month (I have no subscription listed on the website...she said I'd have to cancel and sub again via the website if I wanted to see it but it's not a huge deal to me). Hopefully another long term subscriber will be of some help. Also, Gossamer Blue has a FB group, so you can also ask questions there if you don't want to email Lori every time you have one. I believe it's We Love GB! (Gossamer Blue Fans!) when you search for it.

Man, I love the Planner Kit also and I'm not even a planner, lol. I wish I could just buy the papers in the Planner Kit as an add on. Bummer!

I get "not found" under the subscriptions tab. The orders tab has each monthly order including the subscriptions. i cannot find anywhere the subscriptions are listed. It used to be there with a start date but I don't remember where. i really enjoy the LP sub at GB. I love the stamps, wood veneer, variety and customer service especially. ETA: I have subscribed since it started. I changed over from PayPal to a cc though. I did see a listing of the subscription since I switched because it listed my start date for the credit card.

I gotta say, without add-ons, the referral bonus items are better. There are a variety of exclusives from the past few months (including March) ranging from enamels, post its, washi, clips, cards and a few main kit stamps. The last add-on I got as a referral bonus was almost all from Maggie Holmes Gather and I basically hated that line, so while it was a nice surprise, it wasn't anything I'd use. This is all stuff that I can put to great use. I am very happy with the mix! I hope everyone else gets as much fun stuff.

Mine was supposed to, but sometimes because I'm only a state away, mail gets here ahead of schedule. I haven't loved a kit (that wasn't for October) from GB this much in a long while. Usually there is enough to make me happy, but I'm really happy with this one and having a few bits and pieces from the planner kit to supplement it will make it go that much further and THAT makes it extra special.

Mine comes tomorrow too! Yay!
Anyone know what date you have to cancel by? I picked up the planner kit too (had to have those enamel shapes!) but I'm not a planner girl so I don't plan to keep that one.

I picked up the planner kit too (had to have those enamel shapes!) but I'm not a planner girl so I don't plan to keep that one. I'm not sure, but I don't think it's anything drastic (one kit club requires 30 days). I'd say cancel when you get the kit and you *should* be okay. I think I only got the enamels because I had two referrals this month. I asked her if I could buy an extra if she had them before anyone used me as a referral and when she never told me she had extra, I had a feeling she was going to send me a set (she did that the last time I asked for a specific item and had 2 referrals that month...every other month I ask to buy something extra outside of the kit, she usually gets back to me one way or the other). Enamels are my weakness...I've noticed that I haven't been using them as much as usual, though...trying to make a point to do that and have several sets pulled for the spread I'm verrrrrrrryyy slowly (in epic fashion) working on right now. They are in a Raskog that isn't close to me and I just never think to get up to get them. I keep my AliExpress ones (not in any packaging, so I have to be careful with them or they will pop off the sheets) nearby, but the colors don't always work. This set makes me so happy because it's got a lot of variety. The last set she had I never did get a chance to get a package of so I feel like this makes up for it. I like to browse AliExpress frequently and 9 times out of 10, I'm looking at enamel dot bundles.

my Gossamer Blue March kit came yesterday! I can't believe how much is in the kit. Acrylic + wood veener + chipboard + stickers + labels! I love it all. The quality of the cards is better than Studio Calico and maybe just slightly thinner than the Kelly Purkey cards but just as vibrant. I am going to cancel my KP kit (which I love) and keep the Gossamer Blue because I really like the mix of cards and the embellishments. thanks nicolep for enabling!!

Got my first kit today and it's so fantastic...another thanks to the enablers . Very impressed with how much is in it! Definitely seems like a better value than other kits that are the same price.

Newbie here. I've been lurking for several months now and just had to register! I've been watching this thread and I'm curious...what is it that you really like about Gossamer Blue? Is it the value? The colors/manufacturers/the mix? I subbed to her PL kit for about 6 months back in 2013 and I really like it, but found I wasn't much of a PL type scrapper. I've never tried a scrapbooking kit. Would love this March kit, but not sure there is enough Shimelle in it for me! I love the Shimelle Little by Little line! I see she now breaks up all the individual add-ons instead of having them in multiple kits. That was a turn off for me. I didn't like the idea of having to purchase 2 add-ons to get what I wanted in addition to a kit.

Gotta say, I'm not loving the pink in the sneaks for next month, but the black, yellow and teal are calling to me. I'm liking most of what I'm seeing so far. I just wish they had done it sooner. I told myself that I would unsub if they kept going down the path they were (I was liking less and less for a while there) so of course, they start doing their own kits and knock it out of the park. The completely exclusive summer 2016 kits they did last year weren't that stellar, but it seems they've turned course for the better because I'm really happy with what I've gotten this year. I'm using the January kit right now and the only thing that's making it hard is that I didn't like the ephemera they used with it, so it is taking me longer to embellish the cards (I'm doing a lot of stash diving which is great, but it also means I am spending a lot of time looking for things, too). I used February's kit not that long ago and it was much easier to use because I like the exclusive embellishments more than the Carpe Diem ephemera (very pink heavy) that was included for January. I'm, ironically enough, using a DIFFERENT Carpe Diem ephemera pack with it that isn't so pink.
I am excited to use my GB stuff. I've been reaching for Elle's Studio more and more and actually had to force myself to go for my GB kits to avoid a very Elle's Studio heavy chunk of my album. I like it to look more eclectic from week to week and if I reach for the same company every time I make a spread, it will start to look samey no matter what I do to try and make it look different. I haven't actually reached for a new or recent kit EVER since I work REALLY far behind and want to try and use the kit for the right month (right year, if I can swing it...yes I have that many kits to pull from, lol) but I have been doing that this year and in doing so, I'm finding myself much more inspired. I love many of the older kits, too, but it's nice to have something come in the door and use it right away rather than spend my time and energy putting it away and grabbing something else instead...if that makes sense?

I didn't like the idea of having to purchase 2 add-ons to get what I wanted in addition to a kit. I didn't see this comment or I would have replied sooner! Sorry about that! Welcome to the boards (I think I might have said that on another thread, but would rather be redundant than neglect to say welcome at all)!! What do I like about Gossamer Blue? I actually joined when the kit started in 2013...I was starting to discover my love for Elle's Studio stamps and honestly, that is what got me to subscribe. Many of the first few months of kits I haven't ever touched other than to thumb through them and put them back and truth be told, I probably won't ever use any of them and should just sell them or pass them along to someone else. Their style has changed A LOT over the years but even with the kits that seemed to be a little out there (the summer kits from last year, for example) but it seems in terms of the language, overall design aesthetic and color saturation has found a foothold and is becoming more consistent without looking samey and I love that. Truthfully, the only thing I really don't like right now are the frequency of their month cards (there are like 3 or 4 every month and the multicolored ones are hideous...from the looks of it, they'll be continuing with that one all year which sucks, but it is what it is) and the fact they can't seem to go a month without a new floral print. I can't speak for the SB kits because I've only ever bought them when they had leftovers on a huge sale and they either join my stash or are deconstructed to use in another way. To me, they are completely different beasts because of them making the PL kit all exclusive and the SB kit curated from recent releases. I do really like the look of March's kit, though!

Not to be a hater but I saw a sneak of next month's and it sadly looks all pastel pink florals... I'll pick up another one-off when they are more like the March kit!

I like the yellows, teals and black...I hope to be able to work around a lot of the pink. I really think that it would be a good idea for them to not do horizontal versions of every card on the back (especially the multi colored ones) and instead offer a neutral and white or more versatile option on the reverse side in the same orientation.
