Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of each kit (for 2024)? I feel like there was a place on the website at one time, but I can't find it.
Never mind. I think I found it. It just isn't organized or clickable.

Studio Calico is having a Warehouse Sale on their website: Studio Calico Warehouse SaleI picked up the Atlanta stamp set for $5. We have a family trip planned to Atlanta next spring and for $5 (with free shipping!) I couldn't pass it up. I'm not sure if stamps in the warehouse sale are still eligible for free shipping, but they were when I purchased the stamp on Saturday. |

I bought 2 9x12 albums for $20 each thinking that was a decent price and picked up a bunch of other things I didn't need.  |

I bought the WV stamp set, two $10 kits, and a bunch of stuff I didn't need.
But I am 5 months into Project Life and I am burning through specific kinds of things and Studio Calico never fails to disappoint with the random bits so I'm out $46 because I thought a couple of 25 cent stickers weren't too bad a price.
But chipboard! I needed it.

I bought a heap of digital journal cards and was a bit annoyed to discover this years aren’t individual which defeats the purpose I bought them for. Still useable of course but not as convenient.

I'm late to the party, but placed a huge order, including 12 stamp sets, 3 kits and assorted other treats. This all because I went to the site and decided I wanted one set of papers. It's a slippery slope, but I'm excited for the new goodies. I am going to make sure that I break into all the stamp sets.

I'm not a big Studio Calico customer, but I see they have a $10 class sale. Are there any classes that are worth considering?

The sketches class they recently offered was geared towards travel notebooks. Yes, I could translate the sketches to 8.5x11 or 12x12, but I don't want to. LOL There are enough free sketches that I can find something without paying and still having to resize it. |

I saw that there were some older classes, including mixed media ones, but I wasn't sure if I should take the plunge or not. |

I'm not sure if stamps in the warehouse sale are still eligible for free shipping, but they were when I purchased the stamp on Saturday. I received the 2 state stamp sets I purchased from the warehouse sale. Thanks for alerting us to it. I bought one for the state I live in and one for the state we've most often vacationed in, so we've been to every place shown in each, meaning I have lots of opportunities to get a lot of use out of both sets.  |

Anyone remember when the last digital sale was? I've been waiting for it to cycle back and I am wondering if I missed a recent sale.

SO Sc is having a sale on clearance stuff - when I click the links in the email, I get a bad gateway message. So I messaged SC and they said they must have a lot of customers shopping. Thats not really happening, right? Do *that* many people still shop there, enough to overload their website like it used to?
PS. we are almost at 1000 pages of chat about SC.

It’s not loading for me either. I mean, when they do that really decent big sale where everything is 50 off for one hour (or whatever the details are, idr), they hype hype hype it up, for days, on SM and email and text… and that can lead to lags once if goes live. But for a completely not-pre advertised sale? There’s no stampede to lead to the shop not loading. This has to be regular ole server problem stuff. |

No one was sitting on their laptop waiting for the hour to strike so they could jump on. |

I can't get into the sale or closeout categories at all.
40% sale is definitely worth taking a look.
But I don't have a clue what could be causing this traffic. Their other sales are one hour long and I've never had a problem getting to the site.

I think they're going for pity now. ("someone will buy those items just to take them off our hands".) I swear SC is just hanging around so Inked can take a loss on their taxes. I am kind of depressed over this, lol. I had taken an unintended break from scrapping in early spring, and wasn’t paying attention to any releases for all that time. Just get back into the swing of things last month, and as soon as I finished DD23 I got cracking on catching up with PL. Trucking along using all my stash, enjoying using up old kit pieces. Then I remembered that prior to my hiatus that I’d gotten some DK paper packs in a sale. They are absolutely crap. The paper is not great. The weight is thinner than I’d prefer for PL, but my bigger gripe is the poor coloring and print quality. I can print better myself and I don’t have a great printer. The designs are so blah. There’s like 40% usable designs and the rest is so basic, or just plain bad. Who do they have designing this garbage? Some of it looks like it was designed on a potato using fonts from word processing in the 90s. Is April having her kids design this stuff as part of their homeschool curriculum? Seriously? I pulled out an old kid from a few years ago that was mostly designed by IACB, it was a back to school theme. So freaking cute. So many cards with nice touches, like iridescent hologram shadow. It just makes me so sad. SC kits used to be such a delight and it was rare for me to have pieces I didn’t like at all. Now it’s rare for me to find pieces I’m excited to use. ALSO - I don’t know if it was just the specific paper pack I had, or a wider spread problem, but the printing is not centered. When cutting the papers apart into cards, the left side will be wider than 3”, requiring extra trimming, while the right is too narrow and leaves gaps in the pockets, or leaves the card/photo it’s backing up to showing on the sides. I wish April would still care about this company and put in some TLC to bring it back to how it used to be. 😭 |

That makes me sad. I'm currently working through 2023 kits for my current project life and am very happy with them. My youngest kids graduate next spring and I had decided to switch to a smaller, 6x8 type binder for PL. I was going to use the SC kits, figuring the full size papers included would give me options. Not I'm not sure what I will do.
