Even though I've emailed her at least twice Use Your Punches class still doesn't show up in my class listings. I'm not in too big of a rush since nothing is out there yet but I'm sure tired of the headache involved in just getting access to what I've paid for. I have to contact her every time I purchase a class. She hasn’t filmed or loaded the punches class yet. It’s been a long time coming, but that’s why you’re not seeing it. I think she said in a YT Live recently that it’s next on her list, after the This Year’s Story starter classes were in the can, which just happened. As far as I know. |

I also thought I wasn't seeing the punches class, but found it was under the "use what you buy" class heading. If I log into my classes account, I find it there, with an intro from Shimelle. No actual content but this was from June 23rd. I am hopeful it is coming soon! But I still have all the sticker classes to get through, so I am not worried at all.  Welcome! Use your punches is coming soon!

You can see this because you're either a current class pass holder or you signed up for Use Your Shape Punches!
We'll be working with basic shapes - things like hearts, stars, circles, leaves - and every idea can be reworked with every shape, so you can keep coming back to these four designs for years and make sure you get your money's worth from the tools in your collection!
Step right up and say hello and tell us a bit about your feelings with punches. Do you have heaps? Just a few? None? Do you use them often? Occasionally? Never?! |

lilacgal me, too! I just finished two layouts using Main Character Energy and I love them so much. Me, too! I’m still playing with this collection. The colors and simple designs are so easy to use! |

I bought Main Character a while ago and used it for a few layouts, then put it away for the winter. I just started a Hip Kit subscription too and I’m so happy that they go so well together!
I’m working on my dd’s high school album and flying through it (for me). It’s just fun and effortless, the colors are bright and cheerful. Makes me happy!

I still love Main Character Energy! The bright colors and icons work well for most of my photos. Here are two more layouts I made using this collection:   |

craftymom101 - Those are absolutely STUNNNING! I can't say enough good stuff. The vellum journaling. The washi. The clusters. The gold splatter. The quadrants but with layers that make them not float. The photos. EPIC!

Beautiful layouts, craftymom101! When I see layouts like these, I feel tempted to go back to making 12X12 layouts. They are just so pleasing to the eye. |

Thanks, everyone! I should have some crafting time tomorrow and I plan on pulling out her collection for another layout.

I'm still waiting for Shimelle to grant me access to some of the classes that I've purchased. I don't know that I will ever know if I have access to all of the classes I've paid for. Hopefully she responds soon. I won't be purchasing any more until she has a reasonable response as to what I can do to prevent me from not having access to purchases for months after said purchase.

I kept putting off buying the collection but these encouraged me to grab it! It's a really great collection! I wish there were a few more SKUs (for variety... I like choices!), but it's been an easy collection to work with, and it's bright and cheery! |

I think some people have had luck contacting her through IG? I'm starting to get a little pissy about it being nine months or so since I've paid for a class that she hasn't posted any content for yet. I think it was last summer that I paid for the Use Your Punches class. I'm thisclose to asking her publically if she could take a time out from the photo sessions to work on class content that was paid for months ago or at least start offering refunds. It's been so long now that I can't even dispute the charge on my account. |

It's been so long now that I can't even dispute the charge on my account. Stop being nice. Enough is enough. Go call her out. Would this be acceptable from any other business you shell out money to? I had to go call out my vet's office just today because they charged me $62 for THEIR mistake. And then the vet tech tried lying to me that she did not know that extra charge would be added on when she quoted me the higher price and said it was based on the weight of the dog! I got my $62 back. ETA: And if you are going to say you don't like confrontation, believe me I did not either, but it gets easier with practice. You don't have to be mean about it. But don't let people walk all over you. |

First time was in July and then again in October. I'm sure when I looked in October I was thinking since it wasn't in my class list that I hadn't paid for it. I do think that the problem is that I've used one email for her website and another for my paypal account. I've now asked if I should change the email I use for her website to be what I use for paypal. |

Or, maybe put a pause on recording the free Live content on Youtube every week and use that time to put out content for the PAYING customers. Use Your Punches AND This Year’s Story. I’m used to her being late and over promising but under-delivering, but a year waiting is ridiculous. Especially when she continues to put out free content. 🙄🙄 |

As of right now (4/2 at 11:20pm) your comment is there but not answered. Im sure she will just skip over it. |

I haven't watched any of the videos from the most recent month of class videos so I'm not sure if she promised more that hasn't been delivered yet. That said, I agree she would benefit from dropping one of the weekly free live videos until she can get caught up on outstanding classes/other issues paying customers have. |

Yes, she is working on getting out content for This Year’s Story *now*, but that class was supposed to happen in 2023. It started in January 2023 with registration for the entire year of 2023 and was supposed to continue for that year, which is why I say it’s a year late now. I’m glad she’s working on it now and not just dropping it completely. I do hope she continues with it and doesn’t fall off again through the year. I expected it to get behind when I signed up, but I still like her content when she finally gets it done, so I signed up warily. It’s still frustrating though, especially when she continues with free content. |

I’m used to her being late and over promising but under-delivering, but a year waiting is ridiculous. Especially when she continues to put out free content I agree...she did however address that in part during a recent-ish live. She says with the lives, she can just do the layout and it is how is but with the recorded ones, she second guesses and starts over and ... Personally I MUCH prefer her recorded videos because they ARE edited and have less random rambling but it's clear that she much prefers the process of live videos and finds them easier to produce. As a person, I can empathise but as a business model, that's not working well for her. |

Ah, I'd completely forgotten it started as a 2023 full year class, and I'm on the class pass so I don't think about how long ago others might have signed up for a particular class. This thread popping back up also made me realise it's been 9 months since the punches class was announced. I'm behind on the free lives she does and would very happily trade those for paid content getting done in a more timely manner. |

She has mentioned that if this is the case to contact her and let her know the two different emails. I've had the most success with IG messages. |

Alice reached out and is working on adding the classes. I've asked if I should change my email address for her website. I don't know if that will help or not. I do email after each purchase with a copy of the receipt but the last couple of times I've received no response.
We'll see what they say.
