Hello Fellow Scrappers,
I normally ask this in an AE group on FB, but I'm not currently on FB and remembered that despite never posting here I could actually come ask you knowledgeable ladies. I've had an AE Story Class subscription for a while now, but haven't been using it and opted to canceled it.
Do to a major move across the world and getting settled in a new country, etc I've been only digital scrapping this year and keeping it very simple. I wanted to sign up for Stories By The Month in digital format, I even asked if I subscribed to the physical if I'd get the digital as an "add-on" but apparently not. But I was told there isn't a digital format. This can't be right, I've seen Ali use some of the digital pieces printed out herself! Am I misunderstanding something?
I've been using the 2019 digital stories by the month for my 2021 scrapbooking so clearly a digital product exists. Is there no way to sign up for a monthly subscription for it? I don't want physical products yet, but would love to do that in 2022. It would just be weird to have half the year in digital and half in physical, kwim?
I've lived on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean for the past 15 years, with 0 scrapbook stores near me. Out of the loop is putting it very very mildly! Can you help a fellow scrapper out? I don't mind if I can't do a subscription for the product, but I was also under the impression if you din't subscribe the only way you could get Ali's digital products was during her mega sales through the year.

Thank you, do you know if there's a sub for them or not?

There isn't a sub to the digital Stories by the Month kit - there was an announcement earlier this year about changes being made to SBTM products: aliedwards.com/2021/01/ae-creative-team-january-stories-by-the-month-digital-kitsBasically there won't be any new SBTM digital kits this year but they'll be offered as an add-on to the physical kits. But you can still buy the past kits from the shop. There is mention of a month-to-month ($19.99/mo) Digital Story Kit™ subscription on the website but this doesn't seem to be an option you can choose from in the drop down menu when you sign up to a sub. Not sure why. You may need to contact customer service again.

I'm all digital too and basically stay away from her kits because the purchase model makes no sense unless you pick something up in a sale. I think they are really pricey for what you get. I understand it isn't her typical physical kit, but having it available for digital reoccurring as a sub for a reasonable price seems like it would be a good idea.

If i recall correctly, this year’s physical kits are last year’s digital kits. They may be using this year to catch up (there was always a year lag between digital and physical kits) so that in the future the digital and physical match up.

www.facebook.com/groups/1017747828284936From the FB: New Digital Subscription Announcement We are so excited to offer our popular Stories By The Month Kits™ as a digital subscription AND for a new lower price than what we previously sold these kits for in our shop. Starting on 12/13/21 this kit will be offered for only $9.99 as an ongoing month to month commitment. Our month to month subscription option allows you to cancel at any point prior to the 10th of the following month without penalty or a cancellation fee. Design Notes " "For 2022, there will be 5 designs that are repeated each month to give you some design consistency throughout the year. Each month you will get a 3x4 gratitude card (with the current month’s name at the top), a “this + that” card with the month, a “this happened” card with the month, and a “moments” color blocked card with the colors for the month. You will also get a 4x6 card each month with the monthly circle design AND the 3x4 stamp will have the uppercase handwritten month each month. Current Subscriber Bonus Stories By The Month™ physical kit, Story Kit™, Story Stamp™ and Story Class™ subscribers will be able to add the new Stories By The Month™ Digital Kit as an add on to their order for only $5 during the add on period each month. Thank you for your patience this year as we worked to get our digital and physical Stories By The Month™ kit designs in release date alignment. We can’t wait to see what you create!" ETA: there is a pic of the Jan kit. Passing on it, I've got other Jan kits digitally.

kimba, thanks for sharing. I'm not wild about the colors and use of handwriting, so I'm going to cancel my sub. I do like the aspect of continuity though. She messed up in 2019 not repeating certain elements in the kits (I think it was a stamp with the month and the word details). I know that I complained about it in the FB group, and others were also unhappy about it.
