This will be my third kit and while this one seems more flat than others. I really like the puffy hearts. The colors look great for transitioning to fall.

Sorry I should have posted the kit when I made my post - it's just not easy on a phone! Here it is:

Not overwhelmed with the kit...I can only do so many die cut flowers. I like the colors. This is my 3rd kit with them also. If I stick to 9x12 pocket scrapping for PL style (monthly/weekly) I'm hoping between this kit and ES I should have enough going forward. Lord knows my stash is pretty big...

I am loving this kit - those puffy hearts, the pops of bright blue, the alpha ... just adore it all!

Oooh I like these new album colors, especially sea glass. I don't need any albums right now...but I may have to get a couple anyway.....Peacock might even be a fun color for a DD album http://instagr.am/p/CE8KoTFsmoY

Did anyone see the email?
Subscriptions are ending this month. She’ll still have new product, just not in sub form.
Per her email, her husband had cancer and a stroke and is taking early retirement. She’s cutting back her hours to spend more time with him, which sounds like a great plan for them.
This might actually be more accessible for some folks who liked some of the kit components but didn’t want everything or a full sub.

I will probably buy more now because I never really liked the full kits that much, so this part is good news to me.

Just saw it.
I’m a bit torn. I like someone else putting together coordinating products. Some of the embellishments were awesome. But I don’t need some of the stuff in the kits.
I want to drop SC. I get elles studio - but it’s not enough cards.
Not sure where else to look for project life type subscriptions. Boo

Yes, just got the email. I had only started subbing in March, and really liked the kits even though the colors were very similar each month. I just bought a few of the past kits that I had been eyeing, and a stamp set. Will be sad to miss out on a monthly kit (there are so few kits left) but happy she will still have some physical and digital products in future...

Would someone be able to post the email content here? I didn't get it..... Important Changes for Our Subscribers Effective December 1, 2020, I will be discontinuing our Life Crafted Kit plus stamp subscriptions with November 2020 as the last month for all subscriptions. But, there will be new physical product and digital exclusives coming, plus a beautiful new assortment of album colors toward the end of 2020. It is time to make some changes in how we bring products to our customers due to some life-changing events in my family. There is always a lot going on here at Citrus Twist behind the scenes. Owning and running a kit club is hard work and long hours. I’m a business owner plus my own Girl Friday running almost all aspects of this business from graphic design, to manufacturing, to photography, website maintenance, packing, shipping and email and social media communications. My plate is always full. What most of you don't know is the heartbreaking, hard journey we have been on over the past 3.5 years after my husband had cancer and a life-changing stroke. My world fell apart in the blink of an eye. Since then, it’s been me juggling all aspects of running the kit club and meeting the never-ending monthly design, manufacturing, packing and shipping deadlines. Owning a kit club business is always challenging but since my husband’s illnesses it’s been even harder. There is a golden lining to this cloud. My husband continues to heal and has decided to take (very) early retirement in 2021 so he can focus on living, healing and playing. Because of this, he asked me to find a way to cut back my hours so I have more time to spend with him in his retirement. After searching my heart and all aspects of Citrus Twist, I have decided the best way to cut back my hours is to end the subscription portion of the business which is the majority of my work hours. I’ll still be bringing you great exclusive products, my creative team will continue sharing fabulous projects and inspiration with you on social media and I’ll have more time to share my own projects with you, too. As a current kit or stamp subscriber you do not need to do anything. I will turn off the subscriptions from my end. Your November 2020 Life Crafted Kit and/or stamps will be your final subscription products from Citrus Twist. Thank you for being a part of Citrus Twist over the past eight and half years. We hope you’ll visit us at our shop in December for a release of some gorgeous new products. Sending much love out to all of you and a mountain of thank you's for helping make this girl’s Citrus Twist dreams come true through the years. XO, Trina

Thank you for posting pancakes.
My heart is so full for Trina and her family. Happy to hear she can scale back and spend time with her husband.

I am happy that Trina can spend more time with her hubby. But so sad the monthly kits are going away. I really looked forward to the monthly kit.

I am absolutely gutted - to hear that her husband has been so poorly and that we're losing a brilliant kit. I have a lot of time for Trina as she has always been wonderful and helpful - I'm so glad her husband is on the road to recovery and she can spend some more time with him now.
I would have appreciated a bit more notice though, so I could have bundled some more essentials from her shop with my kit this month. I'm less likely to purchase from her in future now as international shipping is so high and I would need to wait until I had a big order to make - but items sell out quickly.

I feel like remember the same scenario when she introduced the life crafted kits. It was like here’s an email and your next kit will be this new thing. It is sad that the kits are going away but I’m happy she’s making a CB positive change for herself.

I don’t sub but I have bought some kits. Sorry to hear another kit club is going away but understand her reasons. I really like the exclusives so I hope those remain.
