I like what I see on Kelly's aboutme page: "a very big part of this journey was the revelation that there is more to me than my roles as a wife and mom. and also learning to see that my nest wasn’t really empty, it just had a little growing room. so that’s what i’ve spent the past several of years doing – growing, learning, exploring, trying, and enjoying my life." Nice to have a woman w/o kids in the home - since so many others on design teams are moms of younger or teen kids. I like to see how women document their non-mom lives. mindingmynest.com/about-me/

I do get tired of the filter that she uses all of the time. I think the same thing. I second the motion that has her doing some proof reading! I love the way Kelly plays with light and shadow and hard and soft and leading lines in her photos. I’ve learned a lot from her LR tutorials too. My personal edit style is brighter and vibrant typically. I have enjoyed trying a few different compositions and edit styles based on Kelly’s work.

Seems wise to have someone on the team who does memory keeping and uses the products.

I'm excited to see what Kelly brings to the table. This could be really good.

Are there really digital or hybrid users out there who don’t already know how to select, cut, and paste? *raises hand The only hybrid thing I do is create collages and add text to my photos. I really am that clueless when it comes to PSE!

I got my Pieces kit today. Honestly didn't look that much at preview as I was busy. Why are the word tiles blue when there's no blue in the rest of the kit? It looks like black in the kit or maybe a dark navy?

It looks like black in the kit or maybe a dark navy? It is very strange and I think there were a few others talking about this at reveal also. I really like the rest of the kit though. I like the navy chipboard words and I'll use them with other kits but they definitely don't resonate with the rest of it. I also LOVE the color of the alphas! I could use another 478 sheets of those lol.

Anyone know when Hello Story 2 is supposed to go live? For some reason I thought she said Tuesday, but I can't find where she said that. ETA: NVM. All the info is up in her blog here.

Is anyone signing up for Hello Story 2? I'm on the fence. I love Ali's classes, but $39 for 3 weeks seems pretty pricey. She said 3 projects + PL for each week, with process videos, so that's 12 process videos + design ideas. That seems like a lot, and I would love to take one of these classes "live" but also, that is so expensive!? I need convincing... not sure which direction, ha!
ETA: I gave in and bought it. I used the Hello10 code and idk why I felt like that was enough off that I was convinced? I just love participating in Ali's classes so I'm excited!

So Ali just put up a video of her January PL, since she’s doing it monthly now. I’ve just watched the first few minutes but she’s already mentioned her Story Planner. This is the first time I’ve seen her mention it in a long time (although I’m not a subscriber, so she may have talked about it in her Story Kit videos) It made me think...I bet she’s got a Story Planner release upcoming if she’s publicly talking about it again. You called it!!! I saw the email and said omg who was it that said it on the peas! ETA this post is from 2-1.

Not sure if it's unique, but maybe add pop around some pages and come back. Edit: 10% off code N1U3XLSE in case it's not single use.

I have it but haven't finished it... so I probably should've done that first, but I like the idea of doing this one live and hopefully I will work on that one afterwards.

So AE is now making the digital version of the word phrase stickers into one sheet that you have to cut and paste yourself using the rectangle marquee tool. The idea is fine, as I imagine as a user, sorting through many individual word phrase sticker image files isn’t efficient. Here’s where I’m a little floored: Although I appreciate that AE is making it crystal clear for customers on the change, I’m very surprised to see a video that shows how to cut and paste the word phrases in Photoshop, since it’s so incredibly basic. Are there really digital or hybrid users out there who don’t already know how to select, cut, and paste? Before taking the Hybrid class, I wouldn't have known how to. Then, I didn't play with Elements at all for about 8 months, and I had to relearn. I'm a beast in Outlook, Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint and various other work related softwares. It's totally an exposure thing. I don't do much at all with digital to be truthful, and I won't be buying these word phrase stickers, but I'm glad to hear she went to the effort of including a video so the "content" isn't worthless to a large audience.

I just read through the blog. Is it irrational that I am very very peeved that she has re-released the Prompts stamp!?
I thought the premise was only available by sub, and then in the stories revisited sales til it was gone??

Ok so, does 12 AM to Ali mean actually 12AM? Or is she one of those who confuse noon & midnight?
I suppose it’s not actually ‘live’ because there are 2 things scheduled at the same time.

I just read through the blog. Is it irrational that I am very very peeved that she has re-released the Prompts stamp!? I thought the premise was only available by sub, and then in the stories revisited sales til it was gone?? I am thrilled that she re-released this one because it is literally the only one I am missing and seems like such a versatile stamp. I do understand the frustration though, as a subscriber I would be annoyed if "exclusive" products were frequently re-released or discounted. But I think there has to be a time limit on this, at some point a product is "outdated," as someone who purchased it when it first released you had the benefit of having it as a timely product. So I think it's fine in this case because it's not being released for a cheaper price (once you factor in the cost of the class), the class isn't included, and it's a really old product--over 4 years. I think it's a fact of buying new products, whatever type of product, that eventually it will be marked down on sale and I don't think people would feel cheated if this happened over 4 years later (as opposed to only a couple months later like Studio Calico has been known to do). The only difference here is that she remanufactured it, but she didn't actually mark the price down (once you factor in the cost of the class), so it's not like people are getting a better deal for buying it now than if they had bought it when it was originally released. I don't see this any different from the stories revisited sale, she could've just thrown it back into that sale and not advertised that she remanufactured it and no one would know the difference. Plus, because it was the first stamp, she might have manufactured a much smaller number than her current demand allows for and it seems silly to not release her most popular stamp from the entire stamp subscription to a wider audience. I think I would have a problem if she made a regular practice of this--such as if she re-released all of the old kits/stamps and just had them as regular shop items so there was really no benefit of subscribing. I don't think I would be bothered though if she does it for a select few. Especially because it sucks for people who didn't have the money or weren't aware of her products when they were first released... as long as they aren't getting a better financial deal than I did, it doesn't hurt my joy from the product for others to get similar joy. I guess there are a lot of ways to look at it. ETA: But short answer, it's not irrational at all! But, I think the benefits of a rerelease in this situation outweigh the harm.

I thought the premise was only available by sub, and then in the stories revisited sales til it was gone?? I can understand that, but I don't see it much different than buying it as a revisited sale. It is cheaper than the 12 month price, but I don't get the class content. But it's a stamp that is several years old. So it may be seen that the value has gone down for something "old" but this stamp is still very very useable. I didn't sub at the beginning and there are a few stamps/kits I wish I could get ahold of and Ali has mentioned they're going to be doing a throwback sale where they're reproducing some older stuff and I guess this might have been a test for it?

I hope she re-releases the Read kit or stamp. Or makes a new kit completely. I've been able to find any stamp I missed during my hiatus except that one. People have been asking for that one again for awhile now. lasteve1 the only reason I'm not signing up for Hello Story 2 is because I have too many AE classes that I've never even started, including the first Hello Story 🤦♀️ I really hope it's self paced at some point. I love her classes.
