well...what did you get? I didn't order anything. I wanted to use this kit for a small travel album but I am stuck on what album I want. I *really* want that linen album but its just overpriced. I’m 100% embarrassed to tell you! Lol 😂 but I will own it. I bought the stupid album And I agree it’s overpriced. I got the stamps, the kit and those circles. I spent too much money and don’t regret it other than having to admit it here lol. It's funny that you are embarrassed to admit it to the peas. Don't worry, if it brings you joy, go for it!

I will say i bought nothing from the OLW release at all, except the class... that was my justification this morning lol. Don't be embarrassed!

Even though I am a little annoyed by how long things have been taking to get here (I still haven't received the kits sent out on 15th December) I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively low shipping for the kit and the messy circles, which is all that I wanted. I like the albums but have given up on buying those from AE again. I agree with all of you that the album price is too high. I also got the kit and the messy circles. While I liked the album, at that price, I just couldn't justify it.

I may have missed it, but I also don't follow scrappy companies the way that I used to, so maybe you all can answer this for me:
Where is the monthly SBTM digital kit for January? Shouldn't this month have been the February digital SBTM kit? Did she stop offering it so as to free up the SBTM kit component 'recipe' for next year's physical SBTM kits? Another reason? I kind of like seeing them in advance, although a year is a difficult wait for kits I really love.

Her reasoning was that she wanted the Digital to match up with the physical and be able to release them at the same time.

I wonder if she's going to scale the stamps back for the digital to match the physical so there is less work to do in rendering one versus the other. Thanks for letting me know...I don't always look at the digitals, but sometimes it's fun to get a sneak of what I could/will be getting next year.

Ali seems to be taking the 'least amount of work' route lately, I would think that's a good guess.

I got the kit, I thought the price was reasonable enough and I don’t have as much DITL stuff as I thought. I also needed some pp. I have a couple Simple Stories 4x6 albums hanging around and will use one of those. I don’t really care too much about the album they end up in. I do wish we could get the “”Day In The Life” graphic as a freebie or something.
ETA my new glasses can’t get here fast enough, omg my typos!

Yeah, I got the ditl kit and circles along with the olw class ( and everything with the survey code, thanks for the code 😀) and I‘m happy. Although I really like the linen album, I skipped it due to the costs, but I have some older unused 4x6 allbums, maybe i‘ll try to use some linen with the heat‘n‘bond sheets.

Is there a FB group (other than PL Shop and Swap) for selling Ali products?

Got my DITL order (kit and circles). The envelope is slit. I had to ask for a new one, because you know that it the envelope was part of the kit price.

So apparently my envelope wasn’t a fluke then 🤷🏻♀️ I had an issue with my album and also brought up the envelope. I am not holding my breath that a new one is sent 😏. It is too big to fit in my storage bin so I likely won’t even use it, but it was the principle of the matter.

The label on the spine looked like my 8 year old had lined it up 🙄. For the price I expected perfection and told them that! New album is being shipped to me, but not sure about the envelope. But in other good news the rivets were all good on my binding so there is that.

Traded one issue for another, I guess!

I was skeptical of the promised Craft the Story weekly videos, but I’ve been watching them and enjoying them. I enjoy Ali’s energy and teaching style in this free format. I realize it’s a vehicle to sell her product, but they’ve been well done and motivating - even though the topics so far have focused on beginners.
Has anyone else been watching? This latest one was over 50 minutes!

Yes I’ve been watching. They are good. I’m curious to see if she delves into more advanced topics. I think weekly is ambitious for her to keep up with long term but I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Even though I am not a beginner, I am enjoying her videos - I wish she had done this ten years ago Of course it's a great way to sell some more of her products but that's clever I guess.

As someone who scrapbooked many years ago, stopped, and started again almost 10 years ago, I’m enjoying her series. I think even seasoned scrappers can benefit from revisiting the basics. I’m finding it a good reminder of how this hobby can be simple or more complicated and both options are valid regardless of your skill level. My scrapping is almost completely flat and bare bones in the last year, and I’m embracing that simplicity.

Just saw on facebook there's a new kit coming?:
"We’re excited to announce a new quarterly auto-ship subscription intentionally designed with traditional scrapbookers in mind. Each kit features a selection of 12x12 papers, 6x8 papers, and embellishments to support your storytelling adventures. The first kit theme is hearts. The first kit launches on Wednesday, February 10th at 9am Pacific (Noon Eastern). Purchasing this kit commits you to an “auto-shipment” of the remaining three kits throughout 2021. We hope these kits offer inspiration to help you craft the stories of your life. If you’re having trouble starting (or returning to) scrapbooking and memory keeping, check out Ali’s Craft The Story video series on that topic."
