I just got the May GB kits in the mail, and they are stunning. I am officially obsessed with the cloud paper included. I bought the extra pp, and I wish I could just buy 10 pieces of that cloud paper!
The kit has really nice embellishments and they are a really nice quality. I am really impressed. I subbed to GB awhile ago, but stopped because it was just so floral. This kit has floral items, but it doesn't seem so over the top to me.
I am not normally a pastel, feminine scrapbooker, but I think I will be able to use this kit quite easily.
i wonder if they are going to all exclusive, all the time, or if this is a one off. I love Gerayln's work anyway, I hope she sticks around GB for awhile.
GB used to have a message board, but I don't see it on their site, is it gone? I was just wondering if anyone had the scoop on what direction they are heading, because I really, really like this kit!

I think all exclusive is the plan for the foreseeable future.

I just checked out the kit really nice (and very tempting, lol). I also looked for the message board. It does look like its gone.

I agree! I just got the traveler's notebook kit and I am in love! The colors and mix of patterns are really fun. I'm definitely looking forward to next month's kit.

Is this the kit that Geralyn designed? Does anyone know if she will be designing for them in the future? If so, then I need to be signed up ASAP! ETA: Skellinton , have you see the cloud paper from Carta Bella? (I can't get the link thingie to work correctly) It is the Geralyn kit, and it is amazing. I have seen the CB cloud paper, but I am picky about clouds, I prefer them fluffy. Geralyn knows how to design a cloud! I bought last month's pocket kit from GB too, it has the best cloud stamp, I think it was designed by Geralyn too. Bummer about the GB board, it appears their gallery is gone too. I am not on facebook, would like to be able to pin GB layouts from other people and their dt. |

I picked up the May kit after seeing the exclusives. The amount of product is outstanding for the price.
My only complaint (and it is a teeny tiny complaint) is I wish the colors palette included one or two more colros. I prefer kits to have 6-8 colors so not every layout looks exactly the same (same colors and patterns). I can pull two or three colors for several layouts and they look coordinated but not identical. This is only a minor complaint, though, and the kit truly is beautiful.

As much as I ADORE GB I passed on this kit. Too feminine for me this time but I always have my eyes peeled for their next kit!  |

I've been debating ordering a kit for awhile now. I might try one round of this and see how it looks in person. Thanks!

As much as I ADORE GB I passed on this kit. Too feminine for me this time but I always have my eyes peeled for their next kit! Every other month I considered cancelling had a kit come up that made me glad I didn't. I kept April because someone told me they used me as a referral and I didn't want to miss the freebies but dropped it for May and I'm actually glad I did. I really don't like the abundance of pink and the colors just don't have enough contrast (there is a LOT of coral) so instead of feeling like I missed out, I'm relieved I didn't pay for the kit knowing that I probably wouldn't use a ton. If it goes on sale for $10? Yes, I will buy them because there is enough in it for that price for me (plus I'm zone shipping, so even when I get a bunch of 12x12 kits, my shipping is usually still under or around $10). I do miss getting the cohesive kits and nothing demonstrated that more than yesterday when trying to work on PL and struggling to find cards that I liked. I have a bin with all of my Elle's Studio cards and heavily used 6x6 paper stacks and scraps that sits directly in front of me, a bun of Elle's Studio unopened kits in a bin below that first one, a PL organizer that houses all of my Gossamer Blue kit cards that haven't been used and a ton of other bags around my office with my $5 SC kits and some random kits and odds and ends from other companies. I went through just about EVERY pile yesterday trying to pull things together for the spread I started and it took me about 2 hours to finally decide on the 6 cards I needed to fill the empty spots and to pull out coordinating labels, die cuts, stickers, and enamel dots. I'm already about halfway done with my spread which has taken about a quarter of the time it took me to locate all of the supplies. Recently, I had been using the kits as they came in, so supplies have been really easy to pull...this has demonstrated to me that I do benefit from having PL kits handy. The only reason I didn't go with one of my unopened Elle's Studio kits is that her style is very distinct and I'm trying not to have too many back to back to back in my PL album because her style is very distinct and looks samey after a while. I'm fine with that when it's spread out because I lover her stuff, but I don't want the non Elle's Studio spreads to stick out like a sore thumb. Man...I talk a lot!! |

I've been subscribing to the Gossamer Blue Life Pages kit since March. I don't usually subscribe to kits, just buy the occasional one off or sale kits to supplement other things I buy. They are nice quality kits, so I decided to subscribe for a couple of months (I like the fact you can cancel anytime, and their shipping to Canada is cheaper than Cocoa Daisy). April and May have had more pink than I like so I was planning to cancel soon but I just saw the sneaks for June and love the colours so I guess I am sticking with it for June anyway.  |

I might have to sub for June...I really like the looks of it so far. Some of the DT are really good about sharing the non pink elements and then come reveal, there is tons of pink going on so I will definitely wait until then to decide!

I didn't love April, but got it because of the stamp set and sale. What didn't you like about May, if you dont mind me asking? Too much pink. I can understand some in April and March because it is spring/Easter. But May had too much pink for my taste. And I'm not liking the embellishments lately. Not a fan of all the flower die cuts. I like flowers, but not all the time. The journal card with the swear word on it was the main reason I canceled. I know that word is more accepted now days, but it is still a swear word in my house. The customer service (Lori) there is WONDERFUL!!!! I have nothing bad to say about them at all. I might sign back up again later. |

I don't like flowers either, but every single ephemera pack has them so I am used to just tossing them into "going to school for the kids pile". I won't use the swear card either, granted that word does come out of my mouth on rare occasions, but I won't use it in my scrapbooks. I will be sure that does NOT go in the "going to school for the kids pile" however! |

Luckily there is nothing I needed or wanted so I didn't spend anything lol.

nicolep the EXPLORE rubber banner from the sneak you posted might be my favorite embellishment ever. I subscribed to the scrapbook kit last month and I'm super excited about the June kit already! The stamp and rubber embellishments look great! Thanks for posting the sneaks, ladies!

Ok I totally want to subscribe to this! A quick question though, do they combine shipping if you sub to both the life pages kit and the scrapbook kit?
