What did you think of the reveal mdpea? On the whole, I like it. It seems very 'themey', which I am not a big fan of. Summer theme as well I'll just put the summer things aside, or find some old summer photos, so I decided it wasn't a deal breaker.) I was a little surprised, as I hadn't noticed this before I subbed. They did have a good sale on, that shipped for free with the kit, so I couldn't pass up on that. I'll see how they go with the themes, especially as their winter approaches.

do you do hand stitching on your layouts? I know someone who does that whilst sitting on the edge of the field. We are past that stage of sports training etc, but it was frowned upon to sit in the car. You had to sit & gossip with all the other mums, or you & child would be ostracised. Oh how I used to wish I could sit in the car & read a book! I didn't SB then, or I would have been hand-stitching &/or planning for sure.

Sadly no. DS's had a swim in the pool (with one of those expensive ?lifeproof cases on). He left it in rice forever. 2 days before he even tried to turn it on, & then he just let it sit. After about 3 weeks I finally declared it dead. I'm glad it's worked for others though, I'd definitely give it a go.

It could be a vein & if it is actually a hair, a doctor could get it out, surely?

Hi mdpea.... This is the article that got me interested in it: linkI have an Android phone which makes it more tricky. So far I've just found the PhotoGrid app. I'm hoping there's some other revolutionary app that will allow me to use templates that are more similar to the Project Life pockets, but...I'm not finding anything myself. I'm also a fairly "simple" scrapper, so not having a lot of embellishments doesn't bother me. I just found out about this about 2 weeks ago, so I haven't tried to actually print any of them yet. Thanks for the link, I'll have a read when I get home.

I'd take it with me, no matter what. I know I'd regret it if I didn't. I'm planning to buy a good backpack for it.

I'm on the wait list as well, but am happy to hear it's not going to be as painful as I thought it might be.

I'd love to know more about scrapping on your phone. Which apps do you use? I like Jessica Sprague's site.

Does anyone know if there is a way to batch delete projects on SC? I'm doing it one by one and OMG...I just want to "check all" and delete at this point. I admire your determination. I've thought about doing it too, but decided it was too much hard work. If you don't have classes to lose, I'm sure if you just ask them to delete your account they would do that. ETA: I had deleted my avatar & changed my name, planning to just ride off into the sunset, never to seen again, but (as is often the way with me) I couldn't resist just one last dig on Rob's farewell thread.

Oh and one of my comments in that locked TOU thread got deleted. It was completely civil and professional. But still got deleted. @devildog I agree with everything you wrote. Life goes on after SC. christyharris I understand...I still go to SC first thing in the morning. It will be quite a habit to,break. What did you say that they deleted? i think that is so rude of them the board is getting boring though so maybe it will become easier for us all to leave it Your last line- yes! As I've stated before, I joined Gossamer Blue. Whilst I'm happy with the kits, there is no chatter on the boards. No enthusiasm. I have realised that I need that. I don't have any IRL Scrapbooking friends. I recall when I first started with SC in 2008, the boards were so active, I mean so active, it was almost like a 'chat'. They would have had a fraction of the membership,they have now .

I found the GB reveal time much more convenient for NZ time - not sure how that works for you mdpea. I'm getting up for SC reveal Sunday to use up my points and want to be there at 3.45am to make sure I can snag something. Completely over doing that! Ha? What do you mean more reasonsable? What time is GB Reveal in NZ? I must have it wrong? You're only 2 hrs ahead of us.

I honestly don't know anymore. Time will tell, I suppose. all I know is that I am happy to be done with them. Now, if I can just keep myself off their boards. LOL. kellyv I completely,agree with you. I love everything Ali...it just makes me sick that SC handles so much of her logistics. I just signed up for Ali's story kit. Waiting for Roots to arrive, but I'm very excited about it. I'm sure you'll love it anniefb I do. There is a lot of value in her kits, when you consider the videos etc. I just wish she wasn't involved with SC, it taints her a little, but I choose to overlook that.

I've just recently subbed to Gossamer blue & their reveal is 10.00am PST on Friday, 31st July. For me, the easiest way to work out my local time (Australia) is to use the world clock on my iphone; so if one of you US gals could name a big city, I would really appreciate it. I'm guessing LA or San Fran? TIA Which GB sub are you getting mdpea? I got the PL kit for a few months but found it too floral for my liking. However, the CS and extras like the printables are excellent. Have fun at reveal. the SB kit, I'm not a PL'er. I did used to get the SC PL kit, but used it to add to my SB kit, if that's makes sense? It was a cheap add-on, before they changed things around

I think perhaps they want to get the kit club down to a more manageable size & purge some of us oldtimers who are used to better standards & therefore too demanding for them. They'll then be free to concentrate on the wholesale side & world domination. But really, who knows. I just find it mind-boggling. I made a snarky comment about the BPC video links being broken, but felt remorse & deleted it. But seriously, I tried to tell them in a convo that there was a problem & got treated like a complete idiot.

I've bought a few kits on sale from Freckled Fawn. Love them, I just don't use enough embellishments on a page to justify subbing. If you are into lots of embellishing, I would definitely give them a go.

...and then they have the nerve to hold a marketing class. Seriously?? How to fail in business 101 sorry, make that a Masters in Shifty Practices (my fingers accidentally typed 'shitty practices', which would have fit nicely too)

Busted! I bought SS Say Cheese II and Enchanted, but I scrapped all of my Disneyland pics years ago. We used to have passes, so I have a page for just about every attraction and parade they've ever had. I'm going to have to start going again to find a use for my pretty new paper and embellishments. Um, thanks (I think) I bought Say Cheese to scrap our trip 5 years ago & now I'm googling where to find Say Cheese II & enchanted here in Australia. Note to self: must scrap my USA trip!

I just received my first Gossamer Blue kit. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed getting a mixture of papers from other manufacturers, not just SC exclusives. I'm just waiting for sneaks at SC then I'll quit. I'm not sure why but SC clearly want to rid themselves of either longtime subbers, or customers in general. Perhaps they're trying to get the kit side of their business to a more manageable level,so they can concentrate on the wholesale/design/manufacturing side? Marina

Well hello! It's great to see you all. I'm Marina_013. ETA:I've been a SC subber since 2008, so a year after they started. I stopped for one year, (2012/13) while we were building & I just didn't have time to scrap & was packing up my craft room & realised it had more boxes than any other room in the house! I quickly re-joined when they did the instant reward status promo. I know, it was a very controversial one & I would have been pissed off with me as well, but hey. It was offered & it's not like I hadn't already done my time! so there, there's my guilty secret & I feel better for having got it off my chest. i subbed to PL on some other promo, to supplement the dwindling SB kit. I figured for an extra $20 p/m it was worth it, bit I quit that when the recent changes were announced. i was going to wait until Dec, to see how it all pans out, especially the rewards status changes, but I'm not not so sure I'll last til then. im so glad you guys are moving over here. I hope you'll stay. the community over there is honestly the only reason I am so hesitant to leave. Thanks @skellinton for starting the thread

NOW I'm even more ticked about this SC crud. Seriously, I had no clue about this pre-order/save money on add-on deal, although the one and only time I went to quickly check out their new site I had seen the discounted preview items and didn't have time to figure out why (I presumed it was order then and not bundling). Seriously, I like the kits, but the poor communication and if it is ANY more less convenient than it was, I am 100% out. For now, I planned to give it a month or two and decide which of my 3 subs I'll give up...I personally think as of January, those of us who had multiple subs are screwed over in the shipping big time. I would like to get to 1 sub and then seems to me I can bundle anything else with it (or nothing) and not pay additonal shipping. Since, I would much rather spend $50-60/month rather than the $125-150 I usually was!! Thanks for letting me vent I just came back here to see this pre-order thing, went to check it out at SC and of course, all are regular price again... Yeah, I saw them but didn't realise they were for a limited time only. Has anyone tried to shop on an ipad - impossible. I'd love to see how they recover from this mess this time.

Ok, I have 3 months left on my subscription currently. I got suckered in with a free kit.... When can I cancel without paying 50% or a cancellation fee? I saw an email about new web site, but had no idea about the pricing structure until today. I started trying to figure out why I didn't get a notice for bundling. I finally saw they were changing when bundling began. I have canceled 2 times before, will cancel again and NOT start back up. I only joined because I missed getting their paper. Once I cancel will I be able to get to my classes, digital items, or purchase items? Thanks Gluestickgirl girl has said a couple of times that you won't lose access to your classes & anyone can buy them going forward. About the 50% cancellation fee- that comes into effect in January, so you can cancel after your 6 month commitment with no penalty

Is Hitchikers available to purchase, or is it only if you already had it at 2 peas? Would love to do it.
