Anyone know what the month embellishment will be for next year? Not wood, I hope.

Just a word of caution for those seeing Inked's advertising for ordering before today's cut-off date to be delivered in time for the holidays: I've had a small SC order sitting active for about 10 days now. They may prioritise the latest orders with the Christmas delivery promise over the older ones but beware. I wouldn't count on it (as usual).
Not sure why it's taking them so long to pack some chipboard arrows and hearts, die-cuts and a notebook insert but that's Inked for ya.

I placed an order for 2 stamps on 11/27 and they didn't ship til yesterday. |

I placed an order for 2 stamps on 11/27 and they didn't ship til yesterday. I’ve been wondering if there’s something amiss going on in KY. April has been really absent from instagram. The SC account has been nicely active all year until October-ish, and been slacking off more as time goes on. Then all the nonstop sales, and not “sales”, but actual steals. The clearancing of new evergreen products like the stamp sleeves, fairly new attacher die, page protectors…. As much as SC can rankle, I’d be devastated if they closed shop. Some of this stuff going on has made me uneasy. |

Agreed. I placed an order for 2 stamps on 11/27 and they didn't ship til yesterday. Yikes. They are really struggling in the warehouse. It could be that they're stuck playing catch-up still from when Covid hit the workers several weeks back (if I'm not mistaken). If they didn't change anything to their sales + deals schedule, they're going to be in this mess until January easily. As much as SC can rankle, I’d be devastated if they closed shop. Some of this stuff going on has made me uneasy. Agreed. I am a vocal critic but as an international, SC shutting down would be a major blow to my documenting. There isn't much left for me these days. I doubt they're closing but they could be reducing operations. I wonder how well the TN sub is doing these days. It feels like the trend plateaud a year or two ago. |

Ugh, does this mean the paper quality for the DK cards is shitty? They always seems to have lower paper quality for these when they have a $10 (and previously $5) promo code... The conflict is real!
(Totally getting the stamp though.)

What's with the stamp sub not having plastic sleeves anymore? Wasn't adding sleeves their justification for the price increase?

I got the shipping notification and had to investigate. LOL! |

Did you all see the email today? 20% off stamps, 30% off closeout, 40% off notebooks, 50% off color theory.
Thinking I may order one or two I've been eyeing.
Anyone else?

Just FYI, I received my Dec Stamp sub and went to put it in the stamp sleeves I bought when they were on super sale and it DOES NOT fit. Super bummed, its slightly over the size of the sleeve. For some reason this stamp is bigger. I did trim the sides down but they are right up to the edge so I ended up cutting off a bit of the image and had to move the stamps over a bit. Hoping the future stamps fit normal, thats why I bought the sleeves.

PSA: To all those who used the $10 code for a new sub this month, time to start a conversation and cancel your subscription, especially with the busy holidays coming up real soon. Don't put it off and find yourself locked in for an extra month! Alaska_laci Poop! Maybe that's why they were getting of their stamp sleeves recently? They don't/no longer fit the dimensions of their actual stamp seets? |

If anyone was holding out on the Merry Moments bundle (me!) it's on sale - 30% off with MERRY30 (plus a lot of other Christmas stuff, like the bundle from last year).

Thoughts on the Me, Myself and I products?
I don't think I am a fan. The colors are just boring and I don't like the 4x4 size.

I almost never use them in scrapbooking though. I’m passing on the kit. But I do the project every year and it’s so fun. This year I’m doing it in the everyday explorers mini makers book from last month. I did a couple of pages but it’s going to be my big project for January. |

I like the designs but the colors could be better. |

I don’t care for 4x4. I have been wanting to do an About Me album, but part of the draw for me is using up a lot of stash! I absolutely haaaaaate the phrase/title Me, Myself, & I. It absolutely irks me to no end. I can’t explain it, but it’s just the worst. 😖 |

Thoughts on the Me, Myself and I products? I don't think I am a fan. The colors are just boring and I don't like the 4x4 size. I think the project can be fun, especially for scrapbookers who spend (or have spent until recently) a lot of time documenting their children and family life. That self-reflective aspect is often missing. 31 days to explore your current likes is a good way to start the year in that case. Buuuh-uuut... the kit is very meh to me. I don't love the cutesy style for the illustrations here. I feel it doesn't fit the vibe of what is clearly an adult project much. Some of those designs are obvious recyclees, too. I'm looking at you, smiling sun. You've been around the Inked block. I don't care for that hyper muted brownish mauve monochromatic (mauve-chromatic?) colour scheme either. That's so 2017-2018. I know scrapbooking is always late to the trends but this is extra late. I know Heba particularly loves these colours but a couple of other muted shades would've done wonders, especially for a January project when we tend to really like a sense of freshness. Soft cobalt? Muted mint? This feels dreary and depressing to me. It's also so straightforward. The journaling cards are big title + space to write or just space to write. I think this kit would've felt more like a must-have despite the bleak colour scheme (and I like muted shades overall!) if there'd been more incentive for the journaling layout designs like pie charts or something. As it stands and in this economy, I think this project is only a must for big Heba fans or people who really love the aesthetic. I doubt this will sell out but let's see. |

When I got the email for the 30% off holiday collections yesterday, I decided to finally pick up the new IACB stamp that is a part of this years collection. When I clicked through, the positing for the stamp said there was only one left so I quickly bought it. After that it showed sold out. I was so proud of myself for grabbing it in time. Then I remembered who I was dealing with and the reputation that SC/Inked has and now I’m expecting to get an email saying they don’t have it in stock. I feel there is a very very low chance that their inventory is actually accurate. Never mind the fact that the stamp is in the kit which is still in stock. Oh well. We shall see! Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.
