Darn it. Didn’t get the email (checked spam). Same thing happened with the Crop and Create event as well. My server apparently does not like group emails from these events. Could you possibly share the email to send inquiries about the event? Either in PM or here, whichever is easier! Well crud. I can’t find the email confirming my participation either. I wonder if I totally messed up and didn’t actually sign up. Try logging into the Pink Fresh website and see if it's in your past orders. |

Try logging into the Pink Fresh website and see if it's in your past orders. I can’t log in/don’t have an account with them. However, my CC was charged for the event on 10/28. I dropped them a note earlier today. Hopefully I’ll hear from them towards the beginning of next week. |

I think I've missed the registration window, but IIRC, this event takes place only on FaceBook, right?

Jennifer McGuire posted this sneak peek in the Share Handmade Kindness group. I guess there’s been some activity in the Pink Fresh event group. My that’s A LOT of florals.   |

Yeah I pretty much expected it would be all florals as that is kind of their aesthetic. At first glance I don't love all the projects but I'm going to try to keep an open mind as I usually end up liking everything once I do the completed projects. I do like the card with the vase & flowers. I know they had something similar previously but I like the look of this one. |

Yippee! I got my shipping notice today. It's coming UPS. Me too! Which takes forever to Seattle. But psyched to get it. USPS is always faster here. |

My shipment has made it through the Chicago processing centre - just waiting for it to get to Canada so I can start checking Canada Post. Super excited.

Yeah, shipping notice came yesterday and the ETA to me in Seattle is Tuesday 🥴 However it says there is a shipping delay, so who really knows! I have not made a single card since early December so I’m glad to have something to get me going again! |

The shopping discount code for Pink Fresh Studio is posted in the FB group. I'm bummed because everything on my list is out of stock.  |

I wish they would run the code after everyone’s boxes are delivered and we can see we the things we may need to purchase to fill in the gaps. Or wait till after the event so we can know what techniques, etc that we’d like to delve into more deeply.

I'm tempted to get their mini inks so I don't have to figure out the colors with the ones I have.

My box arrived today but I won't be able to open it until later tonight.
The shipping to Canada from PinkFresh is super expensive so unfortunately the discount code doesn't help me. At least plenty of Canadian stores carry PinkFresh and a lot have sales regularly.
I signed up for the scrapbooking event in May - I'm having the boxed shipped to my MIL's condo in Florida and my husband will bring it home with him when he visits her in May. Its going to be hard to wait a few weeks after it arrives in Florida before I can open it up.

I got my box Friday & did an unboxing with my bestie yesterday. I'm getting excited for the event. Going to do some of the homework this week to prep.
I got the remaining mini PF inks I needed for Christmas so I have the full set now. The PF inks are really the only dye inks I have. I have the Distress oxides & regular distress inks but only a few other dye inks so I was glad to get a full well-rounded set.

My box is stuck in Huston for the last 6 days. There is no information about delivery date either. This is the UPS site on the Pinkfresh one it will be delivered on the 3rd of February.
Anyone has the same issue?

My box was just delivered. Wow, I'm so excited. Looking thru the guide book, it's not as overwhelmingly floral as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, there are A LOT of flowers but it works. There are a lot of cards too. I love the sentiment fonts and there are some "different" style dies I'm excited I now have in my stash! azcrafty My box was supposed to be delivered last Friday but was delayed due to the weather in Texas last week. The UPS website never gave me detailed info or an updated delivery date. The Pink Fresh tracking website still says it was supposed to be delivered Friday but the details showed where the box actually was so that's how I was tracking it. |

Trying hard to be patient. azcrafty, my box is still in Albuquerque. Still shows delivery as tomorrow, but unless they pop it on a plane (it's clearly been shipped ground), I don't think I'll see it at least till the second half of this week. It sat in TX for 3 days after shipping, I assume due to the ice storm. I hate it when weather messes with my deliveries. Thanks so much for not spoiling the contents girls, much appreciated! |

Mine came in Washington state and swoon I love it. I love how they printed out the instructions and how they bagged everything by class and the essentials bag so you could confirm you had everything. There are nice good close ups of the cards. I think they do a great job with their events having attended many online events. This one is worth the $$ to me.

After looking through the contents of the box, I'm officially excited about this event. I might try to tackle the homework sometime this week.

I love that y’all are excited! My shipment has surprised me and shows out for delivery today, hurrah!
I’ll only be able to peek through it until I finish up (or at least mostly finish up) my redo of my office. I should be able to finish painting tomorrow, and should be able to put the new cabinetry from IKEA together hopefully by the end of Monday.
Any tips for putting together Alex drawer units that I should know about? I’ve got a few to deal with.

I went through the book and I think I figured out what you need to precut for the homework for all of the cards and the make & takes. If there are corrections any of you see, let me know but this is what I used.
Here is what you need to cut for the cards & make n takes:
A2 top fold card - 13
A2 side fold card - 2
Panel 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" - 11
Panel 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" - 5
Panel 6 1/4"x5" - 4
Panel 11"x 4 1/4" -3
Panel 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" - 1
Panel 5 3/4" x 5 1/2" - 1
Panel 5 1/2" x 2 1/4" - 1 (Jennifer McGuire actually says a little less than 2 1/4")
Panel 11" x 2 1/4" - 1 (Jennifer McGuire actually says a little less than 2 1/4")
Panel 3" x 4" - 1

I cannot wait to dig into my box this weekend. I'm gonna try to get all the panels cut, die cutting and heat embossing completed. Heat embossing is my nemesis so I want to make sure I have plenty of time to make as many attempts I need to get clean images.  |

It's nice to get that over with. |
