Did anyone take the Simple Stories online course last month? It's the Fresh Air one. I'm thinking of signing up for the one in May - Just Beachy. You get the kit and then Jana Eubank teaches classes throughout the month of May. I love her style so I'm considering signing up. It's for a variety of projects - single and double layouts and a 6x8 album, plus bonus projects. Here's the info: www.simplestories.com/collections/simple-stories-online-course |

I love Jana too and I really miss her 12 x 12 layout videos. I've never had an interest in mini albums so I'm crossing my fingers for another month when it's more my style.

I just checked it out and thought the same thing too. I need something with 12 x 12 layouts. Those layouts do look really cute. |

I just saw this and wish I had seen for the fresh air one! I wonder if you can still get the kit and videos

I just saw Jana's video about the Just Beachy course - she shows the kit contents and the layouts - there are 2 double and 4 single page layouts, the mini album, and the bonus project. The layouts are gorgeous! I'm not a mini album person, either, and that is holding me back, too. However, i could use the supplies for regular layouts, and use the album for my WITL, which is my only mini album project other than December Daily (although at 10x8, is that really mini? lol) that I occasionally do. youtu.be/hsRuyj3mpxM?si=Vb7w2cLYrzgeQDtU@boymom4, here is the unboxing for the Fresh Air course: www.youtube.com/live/ySxRtatLgXw?si=iPF8nUwTGrlj8mSpShe doesn't show the projects as clearly in this video, but i have no doubt they're equally great. It looks like the Fresh Air event is still available for purchase on the Simple Stories website (link in first post, above). |

She said in her Fresh Air video that the courses will be done every other month, so the next one is July. I'm looking forward to seeing what she comes out with for the fall courses, I just love scrapbooking that time of year. |

For anyone that took the fresh air course: Is there a lot of product left over after all of the projects are completed?

That's a really good value...I priced the contents alone at approximately $150, so you would be getting the class for free. I really like the bright colors and beach theme in this collection, so I'm going to consider getting this. I'm already doing the SCT Spring Crop and Create, otherwise it would be a no-brainer.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The Just Beachy collection isn't being used for the Spring Crop & Create - at least it's not on the class list. My box comes today so I can double check. I just love the layouts that Jana's done for Just Beachy, they look awesome, so I'm really tempted - plus it's my birthday in May so it would be a great gift from my hubby. It's just a matter of getting so many supplies so quickly and having so many projects to work on - do I want that overwhelm? |

I hope you love your kit boymom5! I just ordered Just Beachy - I realized that I will have a lot of free time this summer since my husband's going to be working away from home, so I might as well fill it with scrapping! |

If we went to beach more I would have done that one too! It looks fun. Enjoy and I hope you get some beach time in to fill the boom up with fun memories |

If I like this one , and I’m pretty sure I will, I’ll probably check out the winter one. I love fall but less pictures then for some reason. I’ll need to remember to check these out since I only heard about them here. |

I want to do these so badly but I don’t do mini books any more. They’re so cute but just not practical for me. I have way too many finished from events sitting empty hoping I’d use them somehow. 😭
I’d sign up regardless just for the layouts, but that is so much (too much) product for me to ever use.
Simple Stories, if you’re listening, I’d 100% take these access-only so I could just make the layouts! Or just sell a layout-only version of the kit (same layouts so Jana doesn’t do extra work to make that happen). I just can’t justify the extra product/album month after month.

I wish they would just do layout ones or mini albums ones, as well. I'm not a mini album person, but at least it's a 6x8 album which is at least a standard size. I can't decide whether to use the supplies for more layouts or actually make the album. I'll wait and see when the classes start. I just got access to the FB group and so far the photo sizes are listed for the projects so we can print photos or placeholders, the supply list is there, as well as the kit contents/packing list. Jana seems very responsive and is active in the group. Not a lot of participants yet - I think it said 90 so far. |

For anyone that took the fresh air course: Is there a lot of product left over after all of the projects are completed? I did the class and have a little left over. I think I had several full sheets of paper and some off cuts, the rest of the sticker book plus some cardstock stickers and foam stickers. |

I like the way she has things scheduled and her cutting video is a big help. We made a huge mini album, 2 double page layouts, 3 single page and 5 cards. I also had enough left over to make 2 more layouts. While it was fun, I don't have a need for a mini album for every collection so I'm skipping the beach class. I may do the vintage or holiday one. |

I think I had several full sheets of paper and some off cuts, the rest of the sticker book plus some cardstock stickers and foam stickers. Thank you!!! I’m so glad to hear Jana utilized much of the kit during class. I’d prefer to have sufficient product to allow flexibility on the projects, but most of it incorporated into them. |

She definitely mentioned changing out phrases and stickers to better match our pictures. I made a couple extra layouts by adding in cardstock from my stash. |

Vintage is July, September is Halloween and November is holiday, if I'm remembering right. She did send out a survey for future projects and fall is on it. Other possible themes were family, travel, Disney and she said she's open to suggestions. I'm definitely interested in a fall project and hope that is on for next year |

I have years of Halloween photos and I've never scrapped any of them. I'm excited now. I hope I get a survey after the Just Beachy course, I'll definitely add Fall to it. |
