Man, I left this company in the dust ages ago. I forget they exist except when I get the occasional email from them or see this post on here and think oh yeah they used to be great before Scarlet left.
It always amazes me they are still around after all the shady business dealings they have done. I just donāt get it. They donāt even have good sales anymore to tempt me back.

Have you looked into Cocoa Daisy PL kit? Their cards have changed in the last few years to have more clean look but still having fun quotes and very usable designs, cards are double sided and have repeated cards from month to month. I know CD is not for everyone but I have been using that kit for almost 2 years now and like it. I have, I like it, but after a few years it's just not quite for me anymore. The style of CD is a little more variable, sometimes it's more watercolours and illustrated, which isn't my thing and sometimes it's bright and colourful and graphic, which is. I actually found I liked the earlier kits more because they had a few different artists contributing so there was some variation and the theming wasn't as strong so they were easier to use if I didn't love the theme. I do love their chipboard sheets so much though, I kept a ton of those! And their puffy alpha stickers are a fav of mine. |

I was so excited. I received a shipping notice for my December TN kit. It arrived today. Except it's not my kit...it's the add-ons I ordered. There's also a keychain I didn't order. Wtaf!?!
So if you received a shipping notice don't get your hopes up. Your package just contains more SC bs.

I did get my kit today. Sorry to hear they messed up your order. Especially after so long of a wait. |

That key chain is the cheapest I have seen for a customer appreciation present in a long time. It went immediately into the recycling bin. It is so sad to produce something out of plastic that has no value at all. They could have gotten everyone a 10% discount on their next order and save the planet of that extra landfill.

Kit arrived, whoa.
Overall I like the documenter kit much more than I thought I would. I meant to skip the month but forgot. Plan on using it for January. But as per usual, half the items will be resold. Glad Iām not subscribing anymore.
I like the keychain, whatever the intent was. I have several others like it. Theyāve held up well for me, Iāll be using it.

I have no use for a keychain, even if it was the bestest keychain in the land. I donāt understand why they wouldnāt do a gift thatās in line with their business. Their customers are scrapbookers. An exclusive stamp set (even 3x4), or a nifty stamp block, a nice pen. If those ideas are too costly, a sticker sheet? Small journaling card set? Pack of diecuts? šµāš«

And the guitars. My husbandās a musician. Those can be used up quick. And my daughter wears heart sunglasses exclusively, so that iconography is always a go for me. š http://instagram.com/p/CZPH5EBuc8m I have to remember to CANCEL my skip! š |

I made a sour face when I saw the February DK sneaks on IG. It's January DK part II. Nope. The only card I could see myself using at some point is the one with the leaping tigers because of my mother's kitties jumping from the tree branches to the roof of the house. But it's bubblegum pink so... š
I'm in trouble. I'm running out of PL cards. Like, big time. I have enough until I'd say... April? I don't know where to get my cards next. Halp. I think I just need to order whatever SC puts up as individual DK card sets in their shop before we hit the 2022 kit components because so far, yikes, it's just getting worse. The new stuff is making their 2021 Wild & Free "Yee Flaw" DK look good. š

I'm liking what I'm seeing in the February sneak-peek! Of course,seeing as how my *December* kit hasn't even shipped yet, I'll probably not get February kit until July...maybe..hopefully

sleepingbooty I like the tiger elements for Lunar New Year! š
For cardsā¦ eBay? Or boards? Seems people are always selling stash. 12x12 cut aparts. Ali has that PL type kit in the star storage box. I actually like that collection quite well. There are too many āthis weekā 4x6 title cards in it, but they reverse to white - easy canvas to stamp your own things on. Iām sorry youāre not seeing what anything that dazzles you! š

I'm a bit on the fence about February. I like the bright colours but it's all just so childish. I might pick up some of the individual components if they ever became available in the shop. I'm in trouble. I'm running out of PL cards. Like, big time. I have enough until I'd say... April? I don't know where to get my cards next. I know you live in a small space and I can't remember whether digitals are an option for you or not but I'm definitely leaning towards only purchasing and using digital cards for the same reasons as you. Are you able to rely on digitals? I am very fortunate that we have a UK supplier of the Elle's Studio kits so with those and my paper pads, I've been safe so far. But without them, I'd be pretty stuck. And they don't meet my style perfectly either so it's not a long term solution. |

Are you able to rely on digitals? Yep, the small space is definitely key here. I have a regular printer, a small Canon, that does a good job for test but it's not really ideal for printing photos or many PL cards, especially colourful ones. I'll print the occasional digital card from Paislee Press or Elif Sahin but it's usually for more basic designs. So far, my best option has been to keep an eye on the Studio Calico kit components. They do sell some older DK card sets separately. Currently considering two of the three sets they have on the website (August and October 2021). I'm waiting to see if they add November 2021 to the mix with the next release. I should be able to finish PL 2022 if I manage to snag those three DK card sets. I really miss having access to Paper Person. *dramatic sigh* |

For cardsā¦ eBay? Or boards? Seems people are always selling stash. Yeah, the problem is being an international here. PL isn't a big thing where I live. And then shipping from the US is usually crazy high on Ebay (often over 22ā¬ for one 4x6 stamp set). I'm stuck relying on Inked Brands nowadays. And that's un poco loco.  I'll figure something out eventually. But yeah, until then, I'm looking at my small stack of PL cards a little uncomfortably... "You're getting too thin, I swear. You worry me!" My relationship with Inked these days: |

Thereās an eBay seller with lots of old SC kits selling from Poland. Iāve eyed many of her listings for a a couple years! I checked Ebay. The only vendor for the entire European Union (which is 447 million people) for Project Life stuff is that vendor from Poland with 4 DK. I've had all 4 already before so it's an easy skip for me. Nothing else. Welcome to the tundra!  I'll find a way even if I run out of cards. It's fine. But the product options have shrunk in the past few years and it's definitely becoming an ever tighter game for internationals. I stand strong though: I shan't be using SC cards that feature smiley faces I saw on party pills 15-ish years ago! |

SC, Paper Person? I have an excess of cards I'd like to send to you and it looks like it will cost $16.15 parcel post to send as long as it doesn't weigh more than 8 oz. I can totally afford that shipping so let me know what you think.  If there are specific things you're looking for let me know that too. I don't want to send you something you don't like/won't use. |

Aww, that's so kind but I don't want to take away from your stash! Use your pretties, jediannie! Thanks so much for offering but you've got to hang on to what you like, trust me.  It is February 1st, I have my fingers crossed SC will add the November kit cards as an individual item to the shop today. Come on, SC, you can do it. Give mama a decent set of PL cards...  |
