I thought it was going to have the pen in the first picture. Sneaky marketing. I stocked up on last year's kits during the sale so I'll use those.
But I love those little word strips. A lot of the time I take my scissors and clean up the perforations because I'm not a fan of the messy look, but I like the words and phrases.

On closer look, all I have to say is hooray- no perforated word strips 🎉 . [ Amen. I freaking hate those things. I’m only now starting to come around to word/phrase stickers to all. I bought the kit. For $12 including shipping, it’s worth it’s for me to not diddle around with printing and cutting stuff out. Plus, the digital is still going to be more than I prefer to pay for, for a digital. |

I wish there was a little more space at the top of the cards. Her cards are sooo nice and would have been really cute to do with Jamaica's pocket size album sans any sort of page protectors. If you got the digital you could add space at the top, couldn't you? |

I thought it was going to have the pen in the first picture. Sneaky marketing. I thought the same when I saw that pic. I was thinking how lame it was that they're including a pen instead of a stamp. Then I realized we don't even get the pen  I do like the kit, but will probably wait until it goes on sale. Another  for no perforated strips! |

I love word phrase stickers, but I’m not a huge fan of the word strips mostly because I can’t figure out a good way to store them where I can actually flip through them easily to use them! Once I’ve used a few I just end up with a pile of scraps to sift through. Do you have a good system? |

I end up putting the used sheets of word strips into a stamp storage pocket with a white cardstock insert. I can fit quite a few sets in there and it keeps them protected.
I'm loving the price point on the DITL kit. Maybe they are listening after the $25 chipboard?

I have a box with a bunch of leftover sticker sheets and whatnot. When I'm down to a few of those stripes. I put them in the lid that holds my small die cuts. |

I didn't even look at the cost - I mostly loved the colors but wasn't a fan of the grey time stickers and was thinking if digital I could change them. Looking at the cost I may just go for the physical kit and deal - I have never done DITL and at this price point that doesn't seem bad at all. I have plenty of stamps already so not upset that there isn't one included. I to hate perforated things and having to cut off the extra tab things on die cuts - I always cringe when I see them on others layouts and in the video for this. I am just so happy it isn't all pink and pastels I am so tired of that everywhere lately.

I bought the kit yesterday. I like the kit and I like the price. Even if I don't use it for DITL I can work it in my PL spreads easily. Win win.  |

I ordered the kit on Thursday and got it Friday. I am typically a 1-2 day ship (KY to OH) so that was normal. I am disappointed with the kit though. I don't really care for it in person. I am tired of the pukey color green.  For some reason it look different online. I would much rather have a grass green than the olive green. |

I have put my kit on the For Sale board if anyone is interested. I will send it to anyone in the US for the $9.99 price I paid and I'll even cover the shipping charges. (I paid $2.48 for shipping) I just know that this kit will sit around in my stash and not get used.

I like the cards, but I don’t think the price point is that great considering there’s no stamp or chipboard or other higher value component. I’m sure the digital version will be $7.99, which makes the physical kit a better value comparatively, but still more than I want to pay.

Fabric is up. I haven't had a chance to look too closely, but it looks pretty flat.
Addons are lackluster and still no descriptions! A $12 circle acrylic block on the stamp sub. Seems pretty pricey

LOVE the March SBTM kit. So glad I took the leap to sub in December. The chipboard is all kinds of LUSH!

Not loving the Fabric kit. Why is everything round? lol. At first I hated the color scheme but the more I look, I think I could make it work. Still a pass though. But I'm SO excited to get the March SBTM!! Loving the colors, the chipboard, everything. I can see myself using every single piece. Still can't believe how much better a value it is over the Story kits, imo.

Yeah, not loving the Fabric kit. I don't care for that color combination and the kit itself is just kind of blah. I do like the stamp though and I may get it. My aunt has started quilting and has made me 2 quilts as well as I am getting ready to make our little guy his second blanket. Those things would be special to document and that stamp would be perfect. peachiceteas I love the SBTM kit for March too! The colors in the kit and the chipboard are fantastic! |

I like the fabric kit and would buy it if I could....also love the cork heart add-on. Not a subscriber so I wont be getting it.
LOVE the SBTM. Glad I get it. I do wish the add-ons were better for it. It seems like the Story Kit addons are better and get more thought put into them.

As always, addons are WAY overpriced. $2.99 for a felt word? Cork heart are $3.99 for five hearts. And this wood veneer word are $2.99 for three tiny words.
And I’m seriously getting tired of the lack of descriptions. It appears shady as duck to not put clear descriptions of products, especially when they have offered pads of paper in the past without page counts.

I really like the Fabric kit this month! Had to limit myself to one add on (as per my frosty status) I truly appreciate that there are color palettes beyond SC's pink obsession! I had to check out the upcoming themes and they all seem like they would fit well with the way that I scrapbook! Its funny because the SBTM kits don't tell me much but I love that they work for other people.

I don’t like Ali’s color combos but I do think it’s pretty cool that she tries to do more than just pink. She does try to stretch her design muscles a bit. |

I really like the fabric kit also! I like that she included fabric pieces (although I was expecting that) and I like the color scheme. I've been quilting and cross-stitching lately so I definitely want to tell those stories so it's perfect for that.
I also love the SBTM kit this month. I'm so happy I get all 3 kits, even though it's ridiculous that I have that many subs.

So sad I still haven't gotten off the waiting list for SBTM kit. I really like it.
I feel like the kits always look blah to me until I watch the video.
