That's why I ordered none, I liked them but I feel like they are super overpriced I have learned my lesson, not sure what I was thinking. I'm going to assume I didn't pay attention to the size they were, if it was even mentioned. After seeing how small they are I really don't understand how anyone came up with $4.99 being reasonable to charge. Oh well, live and learn I suppose. Don't beat yourself up too much. Their descriptions of the add-ons are seriously lacking. (I'm guessing they know that giving actual dimensions would only hurt sales  ) |

Quick, name any other scrapbook company that has as many issues as SC/Inked/AE.
Yeah, me either.
I'm so glad that I've been done with this brand for a while now. It boggles the mind how they actually stay in business.

Mine will have zero room for embellishments totally disapointed I actually found my 6x8 page protectors to be very tight compared to last year's so I was worried about embellishments on those. I didn't order any extras just planned on using what came with my album. Hopefully this will work out for everyone. |

Also “Rad win”? No thanks. I don’t think I’ve ever said the word “rad” and haven’t heard it outside of Ali/SC since the 80’s. Do people actually still say “rad”? Of course, I still say and hear “awesome” all the time so it could be regional. I live in the same area as Ali, and I also haven’t heard anyone use the word “rad” in a very long time. I think it’s just her 😂😂. I also still say, and hear the word “awesome” all the time.[/quote] I have a friend, Conrad, who has endured/tolerated me calling him "The Rad" since 2004. Layouts related to him are the first and only usage of "rad win" t that spring to mind for me. I may use the "Rad Win" title, but that's a pretty specific usage, so, even as someone who uses the word "rad" far more than average, I would suspect, do not feel the need to have a "rad win" stamp!  |

Mine will have zero room for embellishments totally disapointed I first got 3x8 pocket pages with the WITL kit in 2015 (I think?) and have reordered a couple of times since--they've always been a tight fit with just enough space for the 3x8 papers that have come in some kits. |

gigi333 I can't 'like' that. What a sorry tale. No wonder there's no fun in there for you. Here's hoping it's put right in some way. Too bad that a company doesn't seem to be able to deliver the goods as promised.

Still waiting for my (first selection round) DD order... Le ugh. I was planning on prepping my DD album this weekend but that went right out the window.  ETA: gigi333 I liked your post out of sympathy, not out of appreciation for the (continued) tale of bad luck you're having with AE/Inked, obviously. |

Ali Edwards offering coordinated December Daily kits was supposed to make participation in the December Daily process easier and more convenient, and, instead, it seems like it's creating a REALLY unnecessary source of pre-holiday stress. Hopefully someone at AE headquarters gets the message that turning participation in a fun community project into a nearly 3 month long gauntlet of customer service nightmares prior to even beginning is NOT good PR. I don't know what would make this right for you, but I do hope someone reaches out to you to try to do *something* to rectify this EPIC business fail. |

I really hate the pre-order process. To me it's manipulative.

I agree @northrigg I don't understand why a simple shopping operation always ends up in such chaos. Surely, they know how many of each item they have for sale (having checked the quality, needless to say) and when they are gone, that's it? All of this pre-ordering malarkey just stirs up the frenzy (well, I guess that's the idea) foucaultgirl you too hit the nail on the head. One might imagine that by now, they'd at least have a vague idea of how many kits will sell and have them made in sufficient numbers? That they might be made early enough in the year to allow for quality issues to be resolved well in time before the ordering period? Or is it that December just sneaks up on them before they realise? I know, I'm one of those who spends July August and September with my fingers in my ears singing "lalala....no Christmas here yet....not interested" but if there was something I really wanted, I would make an exception, just as I did when I placed my order for my DD goodies from Mei Li (which arrived weeks ago in perfect condition and exactly as I ordered) |

Well, I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised at the email that I just got.  I was fully expecting them to only provide the card digitally, if they actually corrected it. I never expected them to actually print a corrected card. |

paperamy I think they need to be reprinting them for everyone. Not everyone who has bought the kit has the means to get a replacement card printed on their own. There is also the thinking that if maybe it costs Ali a bit of money to get these printed and sent again, then maybe someone will start proofing her materials before they are sent to paying customers.

I think the digital option is what Inked would like, but every time Ali has had an issue with cards were always reprinted. I was going through my Review kit yesterday and still had both cards that had 10 things and one was missing a 5. And the extra little stamp that didn't have Looking back in the right spacing.
It's why I still want to support Ali even though I'm so over buying things from Inked.

I would also like to think that us peas are keeping them over the fire a bit when things are incorrect, thus forcing them to do the right thing instead of the SC/Inked way. |

Oh I definitely agree with you. They absolutely SHOULD be reprinting for everyone. I just didn’t expect them to. All these errors lately that are in reprints and page protectors...you’re right, the extra cost has got to be adding up. |

Does anyone know if Ali has ever released an alphabet stamp set using this font?  Btw...with all the shipping disasters I still placed an order on Friday for 3 packages of 3x8 pp and I got them today. I was very happy but I have also never had issues with her orders. I realize DD is a whole different story. |

There is a similar font that is used when people want to knock off Rae Dunn mugs. Its called The Skinny. You can see it here: www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/The_Skinny.font |
