I love the Story Kit and the add on stamp for this month. I like that it is not Ali’s handwriting. I do not care for the SBTM Kit.

If anyone doesn't want the SK Remember, let me know. I'd buy it from you.

Are we sure that the physical kit won't have a quote card? I feel like my SBTM kits always had a surprise quote card, but it's been a year since I've been a subscriber...

I’m pretty sure SBTM will have a quote card- I’ve been a subscriber all Year and always get one and it’s never shown in the flat lays of what comes in the kit.

I have another sub question.
I cancelled my skip (originally didn't think I'd like the remember theme but I love the colors and those window frames - can see using a lot of this in my DD).
It's not letting me add any add-ons.
Do I need to wait until tomorrow, the 12th?

Go there and then you should be able to add ad ons now- it’s closes tonight.

This is the damn, sad truth. And what is left (Hip kit and Elle's Studio) every single month is a rainbow of colors. I'd like to see things narrowed down and a bit more tailored. Have you tried Freckled Fawn? They have monthly kits with pocket cards that have really nice designs, in my opinion. The best thing about their kits is you can "build" your own kit to include the sizes you want. They offer 3x4 cards, 6x8 papers, 12x12 papers and TN papers and you can decide which sizes you want + the embellishments and just subscribe to that. The only real negative I've found is they only have 3x4 cards, not 4x6, but I have an excess of 4x6 cards in my stash and the papers always seem to work well to cut down. I get the 3x4 cards + 12x12 papers + embellishments. [Disclaimer: I have an affiliate link and am on their creative team, so I get the products for free, but I would only recommend kits that I actually use & love.] Linda Jordan (lindalovescreating) does 12x12 Project Life and I just love her pages. She does AE and a couple other kits, I'm going to keep a tight eye on what she does, and probably do the same. Thank you! I plan to continue project life in 2023 but I am going to switch to 9x12. I will still stay in the pockets in that size and continue weekly spreads. I just needed a little smaller size with becoming an empty nester in 2023 and a switch up. I also had a few 9x12 albums just sitting in my stash begging to be used lol. I am going to use the SBTM, story kits, freckled fawn + layered life for my main subscriptions. I am canceling studio calico, but I'll probably pick up a few other brands here and there and definitely use my stash.

I thought I would definitely give them a chance. I went ahead and ordered the December kit and it arrived last week. I got the pocket kit, as well as the 6x8 paper kit. I thought that was definitely just enough stuff for about a month's worth of documenting for me. I'm going to pick Project Life back up in January.

FYI about the quarterly scrapbook kit: I have heard multiple Times from Ali on a story and even saw it written that If you want your quarterly scrapbook kit to continue for the following year you have to subscribe again- that it doesn’t carry over.
Someone mentioned the other day about the email they received for OLW mini kits and how if you don’t cancel it Carries over. I thought I’d better double check as I still saw “scrapbook kit” listed in my subscriptions even though there are no more coming this year. I did the instant chat and asked and that person said you DO have to cancel the scrapbook kit! I asked her to cancel it now and she did and it’s gone from my list. I only did 3 kits (joined for B&w kit). So maybe you can cancel no matter how many you did this year even if it wasn’t four kits? Like you complete how many kits are left in the year?
That is FOR SURE different information than I felt I’ve been given (heard and read multiple times) before so I’m glad I checked in and thought some of you may be in the same boat and might want to check with a chat.

I subscribe and I am not sure I want to again since I just started the Story Kit sub. I looked at the website and it says this under FAQ: "Does my quarterly subscription continue after the end of the year? Quarterly subscriptions do not continue after the 4th kit order. You have the option to resubscribe in the new year." Has anyone seen a list of the new themes for next year? I was pretty happy with the kits overall. It's a lot of value given the digitals are included. I wasn't thrilled about the B&W kit but I pretty much killed it when I was scrapping our trip to Hollywood Studios and all the Star Wars stuff.

Ali mentioned the the themes in something I watched. One was labels -that might be the next one. I can’t remember the other three right now. Oh- I think one was yes/no.

I think I'm going to subscribe to the "Inspiration by the Month" kit. If I am understanding it correctly, it's the digital Stories by the Month kits and then the classroom. I am a digital scrapper, so I think this is what I want.

I really like the Remember Story Kit this month, so I am doing the same thing except I am only subscribing for six months. I think that will allow me to skip every other month if needed. My husband said I should get scrapbooking stuff for Christmas as his gift to me!

I think someone is messing up over there! I love Ali and her products, but the business end is something else. I subscribed to the Quarterly Kit the year it first came out, and my subscription definitely ended after the four quarters. Same with the OLW mini kits. I don't remember where or when I saw the information, but it doesn't make sense that it would carry over. Good thing you checked!

Did you all see that our Linda @legal_lady has her very own class over on Ali’s website? Linda’s classI often feel overwhelmed with how to tackle all of my projects I want to get started on/complete. I don’t know how to get my thoughts and supplies organized and get things going and this class sounds super helpful. It looks like it’s going to be packed with info as there is a lesson every other day for the entire month of January. I’m really looking forward to this! I signed up! Congrats on your class, Linda! Super happy for you!

These are the page protectors that were in my new and sealed album. I am super irritated, because this is the second AE DD product that I opened and was janky.

I received my January SBTM kit. I like a few of the 7 journaling cards (and I'm glad none of them have Ali's handwriting), but not enough to pay over $18 (incl. shipping) for the whole kit. I'm also not into the new 6x8 format for Project Life.
I saw the preview, but decided to wait and see how I felt about the changes once I'd seen the kit in real life. I've decided to cancel my sub, but I can't figure out how to do it. Am I missing something that should be obvious? Can someone help?
Since Felicity Jane has gone out of business and I'll also be saving money on the SBTM kit, I've sub'd to the Hip Kit Club Pocket Life kit to add to my current Studio Calico Documenter kit.

I am really surprised, but some items in the EOY sale have been reduced even more. It’s almost like the items weren’t moving, and they needed to reduce the price even more, lol. But, they jacked up shipping costs… so beware of that.

But, they jacked up shipping costs… so beware of that. Yeah, I had purchased a few things and now see a couple are lower -and of course my order hasnt even shipped yet. A lot of the SBTM kits are only $6. That’s a great deal since I used just about every piece of those last year and they also come with a little stamp set.

Why are the quarterly kits priced differently? Some are $15 some are $20 & some are $25. Wish they would put albums on sale again.
