My Black Friday order is finally in my country. Kudos to USPS for being super quick during the busiest postal time of the year. Still waiting for my $10 kit... Maybe in the new 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. Hebas personal albums for this project are so much more vibrant than this collection?!? I’m confused. I know this is her favourite colour palette, and I like the idea so much I bought some 4x4 albums on sale last year to do something similar, but if I used these colours I’d be depressed flipping through the final product. I know you can add colour to neutrals but… Maybe if they’d done a neutrals and a black/white option?? Also not a fan or the word fave… but also want it spelt favourite not favorite so I’m just impossible to please 😁 |

January sneaks are in Insta stories. Looks pretty cute. I don’t see a title piece for January.

Anyone know what the month embellishment will be for next year? Not wood, I hope. I asked on Instagram under the January sneak pic. Repeating element is a circle sticker sheet. I find this disappointing, but also a relief. I won’t feel drawn to making sure I get a full set. I liked the wood titles last year (usually hate wood veneer, but I thought they turned out nice). Because I wasn’t a steady subscriber I was unsure I’d be able to acquire all of them, so I never used any - but I did end up with a full set. I am planning to use them for 2023 PL. I’m glad I won’t be pining for something I don’t have, or be stalking the shop at sales to pick up the specific pieces I’m missing. |

I like the kit but who needs that many camera chipboard pieces?!

The January DK paper pieces are gorgeous! The NY resolutions card with gothic lettering. The disco ball. The snail mail die-cuts. The cityscape. The foiled "New year, new chances, new dreams, new ____" card. Ugh, my heart is weak. This is great and absolutely perfect for a January release. It has been a long time since I've been this thrilled with one of their releases. That can only mean I'll loathe the February kits...  Of course, they had to throw in a metric ton of those camera icons just to remind us this is still good ol' Studio Calico. No more! Stahp. We're camera'd out. |

I kept my full set of wood veneers and will just use them for the coming year and only buy what I love. |

Darn it! I really like this kit. I might have to buy it as a one off.

Hahahahaha oh my gosh this is exactly where my brain was going also! Aussie 'Popstars' if I remember correctly? Got it in one! Winner winner chicken dinner 😉 The crop tops. The hair. The latex. The failed dreams of ongoing success… It’s all there in one delicious late nineties package. |

I don't get the jan kit. The fonts don't work together and what's with the new year gothic script? Great for geeking on wednesday or for halloween. I don't get the colors either. Seems like a mish mash to me. Not a fan.

Does anyone know of a current promo code for Studio Calico? EOY25 is 25% off site wide. Closeout50 is 50% off close out items. |

Seems like a mish mash to me. Not a fan. I agree, there are things I like, but stuff I don't like too. The main thing is how random it all is. I think it would all have to be taken apart and used independently of the other pieces. It looks like they took a single item from kits over the past two years and patched them together to make this kit. Now, that being said, I love the gothic font. Totally not for a January specific layout, but on general principle. B |

Received the Me, Myself & I kit today. The cardstock used for the 4x4 journal cards is much thinner than kit cards. Just an FYI if you’re on the fence about it.

Am I the only one who had to write and craft New Year's Day letters for their parents at school as a kid? They were poems of well wishes for the new year with cute twists that would show off your progress in cursive writing with the fountain pen. The teachers would photocopy these "fancy" titles and images to cut out, colour and adhere down. I remember the die-cut titles were gothic lettering. (If this wasn't a serious step into my future scrapbooking ways...) So, in a bizarre twist of things, SC is right up my apparently super niche alley (for once). Go figure! |

My Alpine Valley DK arrived in time for the new year. It's a nice one and I'll get quite a bit of use out of it. The iPod card is a winner and I'm so happy to see silver foil again. Can anyone tell me if the tiny word/phrase sticker sheets are now crap quality? I believe someone brought it up in here a few pages ago. The images on the site show a cloudy look to the new sheets so I wonder if the lush quality of these is now gone (if so, I'm going to stock up at AE's big sale). janamke How is the phrase sticker sheet in your Me, Myself & I album kit? Like the old SC sheets or the thinner, paper-y material they're also using for their labels nowadays? |

2AM and I'm already home because apparently I'm getting old! But not old enough to hit the hay yet. We're about to watch an episode of the Undateables with leftover Christmas chocolates and some wine. We know how to party! 🥳 Happy 2023, SCritics! May this be the year we finally hit page 1000 in this thread... 🎉👯♀️🪅  |

momWhat do you think of the stamp this month? To me it is absolutely nothing I would ever use, but lately I feel that with most of the stamps SC is selling. Just curious what you thought? I just took a peek at this month's release. I still think it is a hodgepodge of craziness. I don't like the color scheme. I don't like how random everything is. And some of it seems old school, but not old school enough that it has had time to come back in style. Just flat out outdated. I actually do like the stamp set for the document kit, but even with the $10 promo I would not pick up this kit. I know that Heidi Swapp isn't technically studio calico but it is under the inked brand so I'm going to bring this up here. I made an order with the Heidi Swapp sale for the Halloween kit and it's still has not shipped. I got an email today letting me know that there will be delays and I just have to be patient but I'm just hoping that they do not sell out of the main kit and just send me the one or two add on small items I ordered. Shipping was ridiculous. Kind of irritates me that they charge so much for shipping but then don't get it out in any sort of timely manner. I feel like I should get a dollar discount off shipping for every business day it is sitting in their warehouse!!!

It was from the most recent sale, it has not really been that long, just annoying to get daily emails telling me that shipping is going to take forever and I just need to be patient. I know now that is the first that all the SC stuff will take priority and will be shipped prior to my order which I made first. I am just impatient! |

No more! Stahp. We're camera'd out.
