November FJ sneaks of the paper is out. I’m not really loving it.   I’ve only been a subscriber since January but I’m beginning to get tired of “more of the same” each month. I’m hoping that the January kit wows me or I might be shopping for another kit. |

I'm not a subscriber but I was hoping for more of a fall kit. I still think it's really pretty but I understand what you're saying.

I really like it. I love anything with a yellow. That being said, I may be going on my second year subscribing and things are piling up. I keep thinking I should cancel for a while. I have been using the kits but only for 1 or 2 layouts so I have a ton sitting around.

Well I must say that I'm not really impressed with this sneak. I'm not sure if it's the colors, patterns, or what but I'm not loving it. And this kit is my first month of subbing again.  I'm hoping I will like it more when I see it in person. |

I do think the papers are pretty, but nothing fallish, too much pink and nothing special or unique enough to make me want to buy the kit.

I felt the same way with the last kit- Mila. I need to be able to use at least one side of a paper. There have been at least one in the last two kits that I will not use at all. I am no fan of the mustard yellow. I just cancelled my subscription but I was too late to miss this kit. There will be another paper unused in this kit too most likely. I am thinking about Hip Kit. I just spent $170 online to obtain most of Turn the Page and parts of other collections that I was missing out on. The Nov HK looks divine!

I just don't think that it is cohesive. The colors are, but there are too many small patterns that just don't look like they'd share well.

TBH, I subscribed after seeing the Christmas kit from 2015. Loved it. Didn't get it, but hoped for something to wow me like that one did. Last year and this years Didn't.
In fact, I didn't order either. I like that the kits coordinate, but I'm kinda done.

I'm a huge FJ fan and I'm not wowed either. But sometimes the embellishments help the kit look more cohesive and prettier.
Has anyone else noticed that the DT has kind of gone in a very simplistic direction? I think they are all super talented! But lately nothing makes me wowed, like I used to. I can't put my finger on it. But it just saddens me that FJ has not been as exciting to me as it used to be.

I agree that it doesn’t wow me. I cancelled my sub last month but too late to not get this kit. This will be my last one as the kits are piling unused. Right now I just get scrap-room prepaid through January then I’m starting Noel mignon in January and that will be enough. Her kits got too samey and unused for me

I only like two papers I've cancelled this will be my last kit, I think I won't sub again just buy the kits I really love I canceled about 5 months ago and now only buy the papers (if I like them) and then the embellishments that I love. The stamps never get used as I not really a stamper and its just ridiculous to pay for a kit and then the stamp sits there. |

Perhaps not entirely relevant, as I don’t sub to FJ and don’t overly care for her aesthetic - don’t get me wrong I find it all very pretty but I don’t tend to use the pretty things I get as it’s just not my style - but I thought I’d chime in to say being in the Southern Hemisphere really seasonally themed kits put me off. I want to use my new stuff NOW not in 6 months when they become appropriate. We’re just going into spring at the moment so an autumn theme would be useless to me.
Just my 2 cents, I fully understand wanting seasonal kits as I’d love one myself, but as it stands they are inappropriate for my location so I prefer non-seasonal where possible *shrugs*

Too much gray for me. I just like more color. I don't sub with them, or anyone, since I couldn't use that much product, but I do like most of their kits.

I just love to look at FJ kits but that's about it.Every month it looks too similar.
And what's up with few companies using these girl images ? I just don't get it. Ellen hutson has a whole bunch of stamps designed by brandi which has girl images. Planner society uses it too and now FJ. They all have certain aesthetics and I can just not relate to those images.

I've bought a few paper packs and one kit a way back. I don't particularly like the stamp designs and the kits are just too samey for my liking.

Another who loves that it is not too seasonal- the colours are not what I would choose but it's definitely growing on me! Also going into spring here, so don't care for all the fall themed kits and papers.

I agree the patterns are very similar in size and tone so they all just blend together.

I wasn't sure at first, but the papers are growing on me. I do tend to like pretty, girly scrapbook supplies and I love black, white and pink a whole lot. That being said the two floral papers are my favorites.  I live in Florida so we don't really get fall here. I still sub to FJ and have almost always except for a short time I took off and just purchased a little in the shop. Now every month there is a lot in the shop. Her stuff is always excellent quality, I think. I did add it all up one time and the kit is a good deal if you want everything. I sell my stamp almost every month, as I am not a good stamper. |

I really like some of the papers, but others are kinda throw aways to me.
Her kits are always very similar and not very seasonal, in my opinion. I don't mind the lack of seasonal designs because I can always seek that out elsewhere and I appreciate that her kits coordinate well with each other and are good quality. But, they are too similar and include way too much floral for me to sub, so I just pick up a kit when I absolutely love it... ends up being about 2 kits a year.

I have sold my stuff on that site for years and have had really great success. Especially back in the day when I subbed to SC and they were the "it" kit club and their stuff sold so fast. FJ sells quick for me. I usually only ask $11-$12 dollars plus shipping. |

I actually like that the kits go together month after month but I feel like I'm getting bored. I tried a couple of other kit clubs as a one off and didn't love either. I've looked at a few other kit clubs and am not sure I like anything enough to justify the cost. I am really thinking of canceling though and then only buying bits and pieces until I get through the stash I have right now. I find myself using more and more digi supplies, so I've also thought of trying Hip Kit's embellishment kit. Might be what I do for 2018. I think it's FJ FOMO that keeps me from canceling.
