I am not a subscriber but I will try to pick up the Special Exhibition set when non-subscribers can shop. We have visited two aquariums (Tampa Bay and Atlanta), the natural history museum in Atlanta, and two botanical gardens in the past three years and I haven't scrapbooked those pictures yet. I can definitely see myself using this set.

I like elements of the collection, but I need to go through my stamps because I feel like I have so many of these vector images.
Even KP admits it is hard to reinvent the wheel.
I wonder how long she'll keep the shop limping along - I feel like it's like a once great TV show that didn't know when to call it.

I still love the kits but agree, not interested in the add ons. Stamps have to have multiple uses for me and I feel like I could get these images off the web myself if needed. The travel collection where she had views from a plane window was much more innovative. Loved those

It'll push me to visit more of my city's museums that I haven't been to yet, and it's a good excuse to visit the aquarium again! I don't think I've gone to the NYC aquarium since before Sandy, because it was under repair for a very long time after the storm, and then it was just out of my mind.

I can't even imagine how hard it is to keep making scrapbooking supplies year after year as a single designer. I thought she was going to have other designers collaborate with her but I guess that didn't work out after the first couple.

Yeah, I looked through some (most? all?) of my KP/PP travel stamps, and I may sit out these add ons.
She did postage themed travel stamps in 2021.

I feel like there are other designers, their name is just not on the stamp. Specifically, I get Everyday Explorers vibes on a lot of PP stuff.

She just released a July sneak, it’s outside travel, national park themed. I have no idea how to attach a photo but it’s on her IG stories, if anyone wants to see.

Took a look at the stamps again, I'll probably pick up the new brews stamp. I don't have anything like that in my stash and can use it for many stories

I caved and got the Special Exhibition and the Ancient History stamps.
I did an archeological field school in undergrad, and I've looked at a few archeological trips I can take as an adult.

For the first time jn what feels like ages, the monthly kit is sold out. I guess people didn't care too much about the 3x4 stamp or the recycled motifs. The large 6x8 stamp is on pre-order and the global icons and the museum stamps sold out as well.

I would’ve placed an order to get that washi (plus adding some other things to make it worthwhile), but since the washi sold out I’m meh. Bummer for me!

I canceled my sub and didn't get any extras with the June sub. I'm just so backlogged with supplies that I need to use and I already have a lot of Kelly's stamps that a lot of these sets are repeats or I can already recreate with what I have.

I got my order 2 days ago which is a new record for me. I'm still contemplating cancelling but am having a hard time pulling the trigger.

I like the colors but hate getting another 3x4 stamp. I'm not sure about the bugs, but her rub-ons have been good. Thoughts?
Subscribers, make sure to e-mail TODAY if you want to cancel.

I feel like I'm a crossroads with KP/PP. I'm not wild about this kit, and I have been extremely disappointed with the number of 3x4 stamps this year. Part of me wants to hold on until the holiday releases and then cancel at the end of the year.

This kit is super cute, but we're not getting the same value. The subscriber discount does help, and I understand inflation making everything expensive, but we're getting less product for the same price. She's still my only subscription though so it's hard to move elsewhere.

I think the camp icons are rubons, but I'd be happy if that was a transparency too. Love them! Kit looks a bit thin. Sounds like washi is a separate item. I was thinking I wouldn't buy, but who am I kidding!

It’s one of my favorite places on Earth. I’m only a lot sad being a National Park my dog is shut out of SOOOOO many places now. Places that felt like ours. I’m also a little sad more people will go.

I just received an email with the new kits. I am not a subscriber but the outdoor themed stamps are great. I will try to pick up “Adventure Trails” tomorrow, along with the Parks mini kit.

The Park stamp set looks perfect for Girl Scouts.
I like all of the stamp sets, too bad they don’t correlate to our way of vacationing these days. We’re more of the “rent Airbnb’s way too big for us, take the cats, leisurely walks and live our normal lives somewhere else for a few weeks”.

I think I'm going to pass on this release, but I may pick up some stamps if/when they go on sale.
Low key regretting not canceling this month, but trying to hold on for Christmas stamps.
