The kit is very nice. The colors are great. I love the change to the acrylic word.

In the FB group, they posted the 3x8 size is actually bigger than 3x8 so it works well out of pockets.

I love the bright colours, so I subbed mtm. My thoughts were that it will go nicely with both the list and new yearly kit.
My colleague told me today that she heard HR is not anticipating that we will be back in the office until November. So I really need to get on with planning . I don't want to get to November and feel like I didn't use this time productively.

I’m really thinking about getting this get, especially since I have the survey discount. Action was a previous OLW for me too. I am disappointed that she used the exact same word art on 3x8 and 3x4 cards for TWO of the phrases. Not happy about that repetition. Especially having that quote twice. Still thinking on it.

Yeah I noticed that too. Just seems lazy, IMHO. While I love the colors, the actual cards arent ones I would use enough to justify getting it.

There are three repeats in the story kit: Just Do Something Taking Action Looks Like This Success Is Not Final The story stamp also has repeats, so if someone wanted both, they would be getting 4+ repeats.

Ugh. I do think at least the quote was a mistake to repeat because she seems surprised by it in the video. There are repeats on the chipboard too. After looking at it more, I won’t use the pinks and can just recreate the stuff I like with colors I like. That’s the beauty of mostly text designs - easy to recreate. Thanks for helping me talk myself out of it! My chill is still unbroken! (Although I might have to get the FYC kit this Friday, but will feel less guilty than if I also got the AE kit!)

The entire reason I quit the SBTM kit was the repetition. The same thing would be on a stamp, a card, and a chipboard. Even worse if it was in her handwriting, because that made it more obvious when using multiple times. And that is exactly what I said in my survey.

I have the sticker book add on in my cart at AE... does anyone have it? Is it usable? It looks like a usable product and I like that it will ship free with my kit.

I saw that on her video and it did look very useable but I’m not subscribed so I doubt the shipping is worth it for just the sticker book. I don’t generally use stickers, so I’m not sure what prompted me to think - hey I want that, but I really went to look at it for no reason at all. Then I saw the price and was like uh no definitely no. LoL If it’s still there the next time I have things to order from there I might get it. So please review it for us when you get it. Thanks

Has anybody taken the OLW Class from 2021? Is it worth it? I‘m considering on using the survey code on it, but I can‘t decide on it. I love Felicitas Mayers mixed media works. Has she posted something in the class already?

Yes, so far I’m loving it. Ali posted 4 videos and a 1hour 15 minute live chat that was great. There is supposed to be a recorded live every month. Monday messages as well. Right now the guest instructors are sharing videos with introductions, their word, the format they are using for the project, and their January set-up. So far there are videos from 5 instructors with 3 more to come. The instructors are being very open and sharing their vulnerabilities which I appreciate. I’m not sure if they will all be sharing their albums each month or just Ali and the guest host. Felicity has a video up but it’s not a process video. Her YouTube channel shows a process video of how she made the mixed media paper for the January OLW prompt. I’m glad I signed up.

I just bought it too, shipping was fairly inexpensive for me which is usually not the case so with the discount it's like I got free shipping. I used the discount code from the survey and also added a mystery bag of phrase stickers and got the discount on that as well! I'm pretty happy about that.

Yes, I’ve taken the class the previous 3 years. It’s hard to say. The prompts for Jan, March, June & December are the same. The rest haven’t been revealed so I can’t speak to if they will be different or the same. That’s really nothing new tho....they were never revealed in advance. There seems to be more content but there are more presenters. Not sure if everyone will be showing a video of their albums/folios for each months prompt or just the host and Ali. The live chats are new.
ETA: only Ali did an actual process video for the January prompt.

Hey ladies! I wanted to come back and say I shared my first process video on IGTV and used the stories by the year collection. I'm new to this filming/voiceover thing so any feedback/tips are much appreciated. I'm going to see if it will let me embed here https://www.instagram.com/tv/CKcO2qYgPCJ

Thoughts on the new DITL release for tomorrow? I love the main kit album and fabric circles. I don’t know the prices yet and am hesitant to get the album regardless.

Love the main kit and the fabric circles. Last year, the main kit was $25... I am hoping prices don't increase this year... I am guessing the fabric circles will be from $10 to $12??

I will not buy DITL products. I will not buy DITL products. I will not buy DITL products.
I do love pieces of it but I NEVER use her DITL products. Actually the only products of hers I use are DD and WITL. I’ve sold everything else of hers that I’ve bought...story kits, story stamps, etc. I’m even selling her Read mini release from a few years back.

I love the album. The main kit is good - but I probably wouldn’t use it for DITL. And I love the messy circles but with 11 of them, I’m sure they will be pricey.

I’m glad she’s offering a different album size — and that the kit actually matches the album orientation!
ETA: I can’t for the life of me figure out why nobody ever makes a vertical 4x6 album. What a missed opportunity.

It’s all very nice. Really like the colors and the cards. I’m not buying any of it tho. For me making DITL another entire album project is completely unnecessary. Doing PL and WITL is more than enough. I could see using the main kit in PL but I definitely do not need anymore AE products. I’ll be interested to see what Ali does with the kit and how she incorporates the 3x4 cards into a 4x6 album.

What a missed opportunity. Agreed! It would be a great size for mini albums. Would like to see more options available.
