I don't think they make them anymore. I can't find a website for the company but a lot of places still sell them. Hobby Lobby has their own line that looks suspiciously like Jolee's.
Did/do you ever use them? Back in the day I saw a lot of people use them. Some people at crops just put a Jolee sticker on each page and called it done.
Putting a premade embellishment on my page didn't appeal to me. I also couldn't see spending that kind of money on one embellishment. That being said, I did use their flowers and trees occasionally. I used one of their title's once. Some of the stickers are really nice.
I recently used a Hobby Lobby fabric graduation cap and gown on my page. That was so out of my wheelhouse but it did look really cute. Part of me kind of felt I was cheating, though. It was too easy to slap that baby on. But the page looks really cute and even my father commented about how nice it looked.
How do you feel about Jolee-type embellishments?

They never appealed to me. I was often annoyed they took up so much real estate in the stores.

I like them, and have used them on several pages.
Jolee's are now owned and sold under the EK Success Brand-Company.
I choose my products based on cuteness, not type or brand of products.

I still use Jolee's. Just used one yesterday! They were pretty pricey, though.

I never really used them, too expensive!
I tried to google this and found nothing, but I would swear one time years and years ago I was watching Girls Next Door (head in hands in shame, my friends made relentless fun of me and now I can see it was super awful) and Hugh Hefner was scrapbooking and Holly Madison brought THE Jolee on to help him/or something to do with scrapbooking. I got all excited because they were meeting Jolee and showed her studio, etc and it was amazing.

I still use Jolees. There's a sheet of snowflakes in white and silver with gems in the middle and every time I run out, I go seek out another package. I've been married twice and used them in both my wedding albums. I like them and will keep using them as long as I can find them.

they are still around - they're under EK Success and there are ones in their 2022 catalogue.
I've always liked them but they're so expensive so I mostly bought on clearance over the years - or gotten them handed down by a friend. I do still use them now and then - sparingly because $$ and also because they don't work on some of my multi-photo layouts

I've used them a few times. They were a little pricy for me when they were popular so I never used them a lot. I remember I'd always see huge lots of them on ebay back in the day.

I like them. I went to the AC warehouse sale and bought a few. I would have to really love a sticker from Jolee's to buy at regular price though.
Now that I do mostly pocket scrapbooking, I've been using stickers more. It would be a quick way to embellish a journal card.

I like them but didn't buy many because they were so expensive.
I did buy this really cute Jolee's Christening sticker set with a pretty gown and a Cross so that I could use it on a page about my son's Baptism - but I have yet to do that page, 22 years later lol.
I also bought a Jolee's embellishment of a pacifier because my son loved his soother so much. Guess if I've used that one yet, either...

I guess I don't understand how using a Jolee's sticker is "cheating" though? Or how is it pre-made aren't all embellishments (stickers, die cuts, et) pre-made?

Since I'm themed-challenged & prefer flat pages, I've never bought or used Jolee's (or similar) dimensional stickers.

I loved them back in the day. Spent a small fortune on just about any wedding related Jolee that existed for a wedding album I never made. I think I used a few but eventually got rid of them.

I’ve used them the odd time but part of the appeal
of scrapbooking for me is creating my own embellishments, mostly with my Silhouette.

I have a bunch of them. When Michaels would have their 75% off Jolee's I'd pick up a ton of them.

When DD28 was little, she loved them and would beg to pick out a few when she came with me to any craft store. She loved miniatures and her dollhouse, so I think that was part of the appeal of the Jolee's stickers for her - they were like miniatures. I do remember that she sometimes used them to make things for her dollhouse (like art for the dollhouse walls). |

I liked their Disney embellishments, but that was about all I ever used.

I used a few, not many. Still have a few. I did grapple with the cost and my desire to make my own embellishments. Sometimes a Jolee just fits right in.

I liked some of them, but most not. I always bought them on sale at Ms. I don't really look for those types of stickers anymore, though.

I sometimes pick them up at M's for particular themes--school, particular activities/sports, destinations. I love the 3-D look to them that can really make a page pop.
I have two sets tucked in with the photos I want to scrap soon--one for baseball and one for Florida (ds & family went on a Disney cruise and to Orlando)

They were always too expensive for me so I rarely bought them, when I did buy and use them though I found they added a great amount of "wow" to my pages. I wasn't someone that just slapped them down and called it done. I worked them into my design.
Back in the day when I worked at the LSS one of my favorite things to order was Jolees. The EK Success rep always came in with such great samples and it was so hard to narrow down which ones to order.

Before I begin I just want to say I’m happy that this is a safe place.
Because I need forgiveness for I have majorly sinned and gone WAY overboard…
I have themed containers full of jolees titles. I put them on many layouts still to this day. I bought them for my kids albums before I even fell pregnant with my first child. I got two of most of the titles as I wanted to have two kids. I had a link to the old jolees catalogue and pretty much ticked them all off from the list. I have to have them all. I have paid ridiculous overseas shipping prices and currency conversion rates to get them.
I have a tub with every Disney item available for when we eventually go back on a trip there with the kids (closest one is 24 hour flight away 😭)
I am slowly working through them and using them on layouts.
But I love them ever so much 😍
Don’t even care if no one else does, or if they’re not cool, that just means more for me 😁

They usually didn't appeal to me, plus I thought they were expensive, so I rarely bought them.

Because I need forgiveness for I have majorly sinned and gone WAY overboard… I own 3 IRIS containers of Beach supplies (paper, stickers, stamps, all the things) stuffed full. No judgement here! Sometimes you just need what you need when it comes to scrapbooking! |

I don't know why but they seem more premade than other embellishments. I don't know, it is obviously a hang up on my part. I was just kind of embarrassed that Dad liked the page where I just plopped my Jolee sticker down and called it good. I guess because I didn't take an hour fussing over a layout? Before I begin I just want to say I’m happy that this is a safe place. Because I need forgiveness for I have majorly sinned and gone WAY overboard… Oh my gosh, I've gone overboard on so much stuff. Both scrapping supplies and makeup. I have enough scrapping supplies to last several lifetimes and an insane amount of eyeshadow palettes. Unfortunately I love excess. Oh, Lego bricks, too. So many Lego bricks... |

I have used them, and I think I still have some in my stash. They weren't a go-to, but if they fit my theme I'd use them. My pages are flatter these days, so I think twice about anything 3D.

I have some from back in the day. I don’t think I have bought any recently. When I was sorting through embellishments, I found an embarrassing amount of Paper Bliss. Remember those? They were 3d, sometimes textured with a bright blue label at the top?

Use them? YES!!!!! In fact when Michaels clearance most stickers acouple years ago I spent like $600 on them.
I use them all the time, love them, always have, always will. When I find a Jolees at a thrift shop I get so excited!
