Yep that's a penis...but her technique is going to be stamping/die cutting vellum pockets? Wasn't that a huge trend in 2006 or so. I remember doing that back in the day. with paint and foam stamps. I'm not paying $20 for that. I bet after that lesson goes live 14 fan girls copy it and are super impressed. I was just thinking about this. Ali shares her pages. Amy Gretchen shares hers on YouTube. Now Laura is sharing her ideas preemptively. Why bother with the class?

I'll be the evil b*tch who says it but I'm not at all impressed with Laura's page (without even bringing up the accidental penis ). It's not up to the level I'd expect to see from a scrapbooker participating as a tutor in a paying class. The overall design, the cutting, the visual impact: it looks amateur (and dare I say, scrapbooker who's starting and testing out things). Amateur is absolutely fine as long as it's not someone supposed to teach me stuff in exchange for payment. Weird.

@rosyposy I think it’s a new one. I don’t recognize the rubber piece she posted in her stories.

I love love love the the new watch kit. I thought I was going to be interested in the chipboard add on, but the price and actually looking at it made me pass. I did pick up the banners in digital format.

I'm glad I skipped the watch kit. Nothing I really want. Debating using the code for the "free" story class.
The add on prices are mindboggling- the plastic leaves are outrageous, and the chipboard is $5 for a little 4x6 sheet! That's more expensive than most 12x12 sheets, and even then, I think twice about the costs!

I love this kit & stamp! It’s been awhile since I was excited about a story kit. So fun. Love the TV stamp and paper pad. I put the chipboard add on in my cart but Idk if I’ll buy it. The price is bananas. I like those asterisks though.

Hopefully it works without having to contact CS - I took screenshots and I saved my email with the 11/12/19 expiration date.

I really like the watch kit. I'm a TV junkie. I watch way too much baseball and both my husband and I watch YouTube.
I'm also a Twitch streaming trying to get people to watch me.
I don't want the leaves addon, but I've put the other over priced things in my box until I have time to look at them closer.
I had my months mixed up and glad I could cancel my skip. I want to skip gratitude.

I like the Watch kit this month and I’m excited to get it. I picked up the banners and chipboard set, too.
The leaves are super cute but $5.99 for 8 plastic leaves is outrageous. I would have paid half that price, but I couldn’t justify the price tag. I’m willing to pay for unique items, but her prices are insane sometimes.

I love several of the add ins this month but those prices are absolutely insane. Shameful really. I just did the math- $51 for the kit and add ons. I spend $62 at cocoa daisy and get 3 very full kits. This month came with 4 full alpha sheets alone. 2 stamps, travelers notebook, die cuts, a planner sticker sub. My money goes so much farther there.

I've watched the Ali videos of the kit and these are my 10 thoughts:
1-The marketing card is no longer going to be her photos! I tend to automatically recycle those. Especially one that had her kids' legs in it..that was weird. 2-Why is there a "walking away" card in this kit? A card that will go into my blank pile. 3-The colors are great. They're fall, but lend themselves to all sorts of things. 4-I'm going to have to make a creepy layout with the "Love watching you play" with the hundreds of photos I took of Chicago Cubs players this year at games. Or I could narrow it down to just my favorite player...but it'll be creepy and I'll love it. 5-None of the add-ons go with the kit. (maybe the stars?) They're all generic stuff. I removed the chipboard from my box. 6-I still love rubber embellishments for baseball pages so flags are cool. They should be $1 each so only overpriced by a $1. Less highway robbery? 7-More numbers in the stamp set. How many different styled tiny numbers does one person need? 8-We're back to Ali's handwriting. Which for the most part I don't mind, but I know that's been something not everyone loves. 9-I do wish the TV was a vector image and not hand-drawn. 10-the Love this view stamp will be used many many times for me. I actually tend to buy any embellishment that says that.

No add-ons here either but I like the kit.

I like the kit, but agree that the add-ons are too pricey. The plastic leaves would be a nice change from the typical die cut leaves and I like the shimmer on the asterisks, but not at what they are charging. I'm excited about the "love watching you play" stamp, I'll use that more than anything from the Play stamp set.

Oh, my bad. I tried and it said it expired. Sorry! No worries! I just tried it, and it said the code "getstoryclass" will apply to my first month. Hopefully it works without having to contact CS - I took screenshots and I saved my email with the 11/12/19 expiration date. CS replied the code only meant the story class kit was priced 10 dollars. Not sure what to think. Eta: I received another email from CS. It says there was a glitch so first month is free indeed.

I don't know how it would be a glitch, when my email clearly stated it would be free for the first month, and the code was good until 11/12/19, but that's Inked for you! 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂 Here's hoping it works for both of us!

Is anyone doing Wellness Story? I’m interested to know how Ali is documenting “wellness” and how her co-creator of the class is doing this as well. What’s the material like?

I'm taking the Wellness class right now. Currently we've only had one lesson and that was video and PDF worksheet. Basically it was a starting point with the concept of what do we tell ourselves about our wellness among other things.
For me I'm liking it so far as I've been struggling a bit with my own eating, exercise and healthy living. For me I like the idea of identification and documentation of it. Its how I process things and make sense of stuff. The class is helping me commit to it.

Well, I was charged for my "free" story class. I started a conversation with CS, so here's hoping I get a good resolution, otherwise I am disputing the charge.
