Would you spend $120 for online class? Edited to add thanks

From the website

"In this classroom community we are going to celebrate and document the people, places, and things most important to you and we will do it in so many delightfully different and FUN ways—from themed photo displays to traditional and digital scrapbooks to audio, video, home decor and more. "


I wouldn't for that reason. I currently do not have any type of Photoshop program so I don't think that would work. I'm not interested in audio and video memories, and my home décor is minimal because of my destructive child. If I'm paying $120.00, I want to see the actual projects and not a vague description. That might actually sway me to pay for the class because it does sound like a lot of content. 

No. Too much without any clear idea about what the class is about. With so much free content out there and some reasonably priced online classes eg I think I paid $20 - $30 for each Kerri Bradford class I took and that gave me plenty of information and inspiration. I guess for a whole years it's not a bad cost (at least before you convert to NZ$) but it's more than I'd be prepared to pay.

No, I would need way more information before signing up for a class at that price point but the little information she provided and highlighted above the answer would be a hard no.

I watched the promo video and read over the description of the 2020 project class, and I think it might be something that works for someone who collects classes for later and maybe just uses it a couple of times. I think that she plans on providing prompts, and then giving examples of how to implement those prompts in a number of different formats. So if you are a digi scrapper, you could do that, or if you are into creating items for home décor or gifts for other people she will have ideas for that, but if you only work in paper and glue, then there will be ideas for that as well.

So if you manage one project for each prompt, that would be your money's worth. Could be a page for one, a card for another, a gift for another, so no getting into a rut.

Not against the Silhouette purchase--I have one. But I don't use it nearly as often as I thought I would. If you go with that option, maybe ALSO ask for a class on how to use it?

No, but I'm not into classes at all. There is so much free content out there that I've never felt the need. I've taken free classes, and while they were interesting, I didn't put them to use. I've always chosen to put my money toward supplies instead. And I do have a Cameo and use it regularly. It was a great purchase.

I voted no because I also think it's too vague and too long...I want a specific date/period. Life gets crazy and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to keep up.

Nope - but mainly because its a Stacy Juliian class. I refuse to support her. I have paid that much for a class before though - it was a Karen Russell Photography class and for the right class, I would do it again.

Her delivery is REALLY hard for me to listen to - even for free. So, no.

I would be tempted... but in reality I know that I would not be able to complete a year-long project. I never have really. I'm also a bit like you and am an online class collector. I don't do a lot of the projects, though I do draw some inspiration from them.

It is too much money, IMHO. Especially if it's Stacy Julian. She grates on my nerves, and she over-dramatizes everything. She has some wonderful ideas, but I just can't take her for more than 2 minutes.

Didn’t she try doing a year-long class once before and it ended badly?

Would I? No. I have plenty enough inspiration and not enough time or money.

Should you? Depends. Do you feel good about spending your money/someone's money/the opportunity cost that way - getting a class, watching, not doing anything more with it? Does it make you feel inspired and satisfied in other ways? Do you like and trust Stacy Julian? Do you think you'll be excited about this by May or October? There's no shame in spending money on classes that you enjoy if you feel good about that, whether you make anything or not. It's probably cheaper than a concert, and I'm sure the inspiration and learning manifests somewhere in your crafty life. But I think you have to be clear on what value it has for you and why.

I would consider giving Shimelle that much money because I enjoy her work and support her and trust her generally, but I'd hesitate to hand it over to Stacy Julian or Ali Edwards and I would run the other way if it was a Becky Higgins class.

No guarantee that spending the money on a Cameo will work out better. There are plenty of people here who were defeated by the inconvenience, the learning curve, or some other barrier. But there are also people who use it regularly and it's a cornerstone of their craft process. It really depends on your space (if you have a place to set it up that is convenient), tolerance for learning a techie thing, and what kind of crafter you are.

I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to do!

No way hosay. There is so much, wonderful free content on the internet.

I didn’t even pay that much to attend language lessons at my local college with a native speaker.

100% THIS!!!  Stacy Julian is an entitled bitch and will screw over customers just because she feels like it..."so there".
