Anyone else having issues with this month's code? Yep! Trying to decide if I should go ahead and hope for a refund later. mich5481 Try it now? I don't seem to have any issues with it.

Now that I'm looking at the full Thanksgiving swag bag, I don't know if I actually want it. I like a lot of the pieces but I don't know that it's worth the $15 and change with the discount?

I don't really love the swag bags. They just seem really expensive to me for what they are....I thought I would buy some of the details digitals - I like that KP offered them separately, but I just couldn't see the pages very clearly and was on the fence. I wish we could see more ideas from her DT..that may swing me. I'll go back and look this evening.

If a subscriber is interested in selling the TN papers this month I would love to buy them. I don't want the stamp or alpha stickers.

Not all the holiday kits have digitals for sale. I was really hoping to grab the other kits via digital, but maybe I will think about it during a sale if any are leftover. I decided against buying anything extra this month, although I may get the digital TN set if I cannot purchase the papers separately from a subscriber.

The way the site is organised is really weird...I had to look at whats new, holiday and then at digitals to find all the digitals for the holiday kits...they now seem to be all appearing under new Her prices are great! I like that she isn't price gouging us on the digitals like AE does. I picked up digitals for 2 other holiday kits

I didn't end up picking up anything this release so far anyways... I'm still on the fence about the main kit. The swag bag is cute, but I looked at the cards and practically I could only see myself using maybe 4 of them. While the rest are well designed and fun, they don't fit my life/documenting style (e.g. don't go black friday shopping, don't celebrate friendsgiving, I'm not going to put "basic bitch" in my family album, etc.). Like the "I met Lil Sebastian" thing... I get the reference, but honestly when would I possibly use that in my album? Even if I wanted to scrapbook about binge watching Parks & Rec that still wouldn't really make sense... idk. And I love Friends, but idk if I could fit that many friends references into my album.
The swag bag images always look so great but once I really look at the individual pieces they just don't work... I bought one and so far have used basically none of it. I'm hoping a Christmas themed one works for me a little better... but probably not, KP and I live very different lives.

I love Lil Sebastian and that episode of Friends...but do I really need TWO of the same stickers about them?

I would only use 4 cards, so I didn't get it and it's great that these are limited edition as I think she knows each swag bag will only resonate with a small group of her subscribers. I loved some of it until I saw all of it. Things I liked: Blessed be the fruit, Black Friday (not a shopper, but my sister is, ) the leftovers card is perfect, Happy fall ya'll and open mouth insert pie), the foiled vellum leaves are also lovely. I haven't purchased a swag bag since the Reading one, so I guess I realistically don't get them as often as I originally thought that I did. I do love that she's putting product out there for people who memory keep and are closer to their chosen families. We need a lot more openness of what love looks like and the skintones of all people in memory keeping. As well as no children, versus a whole team of them, haha!

I absolutely love KP's project kit this month. I love the strong red and purple together - a great combo for fall and not one you see that often...and maybe I am overly influenced by listening to the podcast this month where Kelly explained her design approach, especially about wanting to make a product that is versatile ....but I really like the stamp this month. My son just had his second surgery for his abdominal pain - FINALLY after a year it is gone and he's going back to school on Wednesday, but the recovery has just been tough. He got slammed by a virus right after surgery, enough to send us to the ER.....and if anyone ever knows of someone with abdominal pain that is localised, constant, severe, stabbing - then google Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment (ACNES). It's more common than you would think, but largely unknown by the medical community. One study that looked at kids & adults admitted to the ER with undiagnosed abdominal pain, determined that as many as 1:6 had ACNES. Sadly it takes folks 2 + years to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. We were lucky ( ?) that it only took one year. Anyway.... + after 10 years of dithering about, I finally had the operation to have my thyroid partially removed ..wasn't cancer (although wasn't expecting it to be)....but all I can say, is that I am feeling a lot of different moods this month ....and it will be therapeutic to use KP's kit as I work through them.

I'm am a woman of color who is a professional lady and happily child free with my hubs. I feel like growing up, the majority of scrapbooking was old women who were Caucasian and they scrapbooked their grandchildren. Whereas I was scrapping through high school and college for myself. I was telling MY OWN story. I feel like Kelly really helps represent a market in scrapbooking that isn't always represented.

I was telling MY OWN story. I feel like Kelly really helps represent a market in scrapbooking that isn't always represented. I definitely agree with these sentiments & applaud KP for these additions to her kits. The fact that she's different from many SB designers has always kept me coming back to her shop, even though I sometimes struggle to use her designs. I am Caucasian, but I too have been scrapping through high school/college/grad school and am a professional and definitely always felt like the wrong demographic for many scrapbooking companies.
The part of KP swag bags that make them hard to use for me are typically the very specific TV show references. I especially agree with the sentiment of another commenter as to why there are two of the same sticker. Even if I could stretch my imagination to come up with a use for a lil Sebastian sticker, I definitely could not do it TWICE.
That said, the swag bags are so cute and quirky I kinda wish I could just to collect them...

I am an older woman who is caucasian and also appreciate Kelly's aesthetic. I am documenting my current life which contains a husband, an adult son, a dog, a cat, and no grandchildren. Although the Friends references don't resonate quite as much with me since I am the same age as the cast and wasn't a regular watcher of the show when it originally aired. I have seen it enough to get most of the references like Rachel's trifle. Lil Sebastian escapes me. I appreciate that Kelly designs for everyday life and not just the big events/holidays.

Lil Sebastian is a reference to Parks & Recreation.

For me, I could see doubling up on certain stickers as a way for the hoarders to use one and keep one. I still skipped on this bag because I couldn't see myself using some of them. Yes, the Friends references are funny, but nothing I want to memorialize. Now, if the next Swag Bag has, like, "You'll shoot your eye out". I would use those easily. /shrug Or, if she came out with a HP / Disney bag and there were doubles, I'd use one and keep one or use one and give one to my kids for their albums.

PHEW, the December Details kit has been broken up in different sets. My wallet is grateful! Am I buying that one card set just for the butter card? Oh yes, I am! Like lasteve1 , the swag bags are cute and make me smile but are too expensive to justify buying + hoarding them, especially when you factor in $15 in shipping. I just don't see a point when I'll use most of the stuff in these, let alone twice for the embellishments. And flair, oh my, why? What year is this?

The flair is so weird to me because I remember her kits used to have them and she got rid of them because her audience just wasn't using them or enjoying them.

The flair is so weird to me because I remember her kits used to have them and she got rid of them because her audience just wasn't using them or enjoying them. I think part of the explanation for the swag bag is that she wanted to just design what she likes and wants to design, not think about what will sell... which is why there are limited quantities. So I guess she likes flair? But I think that's also the explanation behind the very obscure and specific references.
Definitely not supporting her logic here... if you create a product to sell, you probably should think about what your customers want, at least a little. But this seems to be working for her. I guess she designs the regular kit for what she thinks customers want and the swag bag for what she wants to design.

I caved and got the December Details color kit and the October All the Feels kit. I haven’t gone through them yet, but so far, I am loving the colors and the overall feel of these kits.
All the Feels has a really neat shade of maroon. It’s not too dark and not to bright. It’s exactly what I was hoping for when I saw it online and ordered it.
The December Details Kit colors are beautiful. I took the package out of the envelope and saw the back of something that is the perfect shade of purple. I want to wait to go through it piece by piece until a time when my dogs aren’t barking and I’m not exhausted. (Hopefully this weekend.)
