SCT posted the class descriptions for the Fall Papercrafting and Holiday events.
I've already signed up for the Cards event and I plan on signing up for the Holiday event. After reading the description of the Papercrafting classes, I'm almost wishing I had skipped the card one and chosen the papercrafting one instead.
There's not a lot of hints on what specific products the Holiday event will be using, but it's enough that I'm looking forward to it. Paige Evans is using her Sugarplum Wishes line and I was hoping that would be the case! Jess Forster's description mentions "Boho Christmas" and Mari Clarke's mentions Violet Studio Ski Lodge, but I haven't been able to find anything online about those two yet. There appear to be two card classes, a 6x8 album class, two classes that have a combo of layouts, projects, and cards and Virginia Nebel's class is described as a Countdown to Christmas project.
All-in-all, I'm excited about the descriptions in the Holiday one!

I’m gonna sign up for the Holiday event too! This will be my third time!
I’m surprised to see that Mari Clarke will be doing cards at the paper crafting event.

Yeah, I’m a little disappointed to have cards at the Papercrafting event given there is a separate card making event. I’d rather have another layout class. |

Despite the fact that I liked the Fall Papercrafting classes, I was also pretty surprised that they included a card class. I'm wondering if they're going to get any blow-back from that?

I'm disappointed in this too as I prefer layouts. But I saw a comment from Catherine on Facebook that they have heard the feedback and have spoken with Mari about including a layout so we'll see. |

I always look forward to the SCT papercrafting events but this one doesn’t excite me at all. I’m really disappointed they included a card making class. Personally I have no desire to learn coloring techniques or receive markers as part of the event kit.
I also feel like they’re going extra hard on the “fall” theme this year; it feels too much to me.
I had intended to do this event, but it has become a “no” for me this time around. Such a bummer!

They aren’t doing the card class! They got a LOT of negativity about that. I agree that it was a bad choice to include it in a papercrafting event when they already have a card one. Trust me, I’d sign up for the card event if I want to make cards. I DO NOT WANT CARDS IN THE SCRAPPING EVENT. Ever. NO. 😂
They really need to send a survey to past participants or even put a poll up in their groups. I feel like many responses would tell them to stick with more layouts, less “other” projects. Layouts seem to be the most universally wanted among scrappers. That’s why we do this, right? Several friends don’t do mini books at all, so they’re sad when we’re making an album, no matter how cute it is.
I’m happy the focus is on fall for the paper crafting event. The last fall event in 2022 was way too springy looking. Mostly florals and pastels. I’m so glad they’re going back to richer colors for this event. We got enough pastels in the spring event. 😅
I’m disappointed the holiday event focus is so much on cards 😭 There’s only one layout class?! BOO. Those were my favorite. I don’t want a December Daily. 100 million sites have classes and kits for those. I will have one already for the year, I don’t want another forced on me. I don’t want a count down. I have several I’ve made over the years. I have to say I’m disappointed with the line up, especially how heavy it is on cards and light on layouts. If you’re a serious Christmas card maker, isn’t this event a little late? Most card makers have made them already by then…
But I am excited for Paige’s class. Paige’s class is seriously the only reason I’m signing up 😂 I know that sounds ridiculous but I’m going to sell the card stuff to a local, see how the other classes turn out and may or may not make them but will at least have the stuff to make layouts. It will work great as my local buddy doesn’t want anything to do with those!
Long story short, I’m signing up and excited for the fall papercrafting event especially now that we aren’t making cards!
I’m disappointed in the overtaking of the cards and non-layout classes in the holiday event, but very excited for Paige’s class! I’m making it work and will sign up for this too and sell the card stuff.

As it is, I'll probably sign up for the Holiday event for this reason. I usually do the Papercrafting event but I'm not feeling it this year. I do love the focus on fall, though, but it's more expensive, and I'm not loving the lineup. For the Holiday event, I'm not interested in the countdown or the December Daily, but I'll do them anyway or use the supplies for something else, I'll know more when the box arrives. I've never done the Holiday event before so I might as well give it a whirl. |

After careful consideration, and a bit of “borrowing from Peter to pay Paul” I’m signing up for both the Papercrafting and holiday events and I’ve already signed up for the card event. Never done all three together before! My husband just said, “So, I guess I won’t be seeing you this fall, huh?”  |

I think I will sign up for the holiday event. I still have a gc for SCT, so I think I will use that to pay for part of this.
From what I have seen from past SCT events, the papercrafting ones seem to be heavy on paper products. The card events include more dies and stamps and stencils. I thought the holiday event I participated in a couple of years ago was a nice mix of both.

I'm planning on signing up for the Holiday Event. I've only done the cardmaking events before (although I'm skipping the Fall one) so I'm looking forward to having some layouts included.

I had intended to do the Papercrafting one again, and I like all the teachers. I was underwhelmed by the description of classes and a bit more of the same, so deciding to skip. Also did not like the card class added.

Registration is going smoothly now. I got straight through, took just a couple of minutes. I like that you can pay by credit card on the SCT site now. I had lots of problems with Paypal last go-round!

I ended up coming home sick from school this morning so was able to try to register when it opened. Finally got signed up at 2. Their poor servers were swamped! I decided to take both the papercrafting and holiday events. I enjoyed my first papercrafting event with them last fall and hope I’ll enjoy it again this year.

I wish I had more time and money! The SCT events are really good, but I haven't even started the last papercrafting one I got.
I do recommend them to anyone who has the time and money!
