I'm just trying to figure out what happened to the 'Work' kit that was scheduled for this month.

“Happy” was on my plan-to-buy list since it was first listed In upcoming themes, but now that I see it… it’s an easy one to pass on. I’d like the word phrase stickers and the plastic half circle add-ona, but that’s really it. I’ll just cross my fingers they pop up individually in a future sale. It’s so funny how we all like different things. I LOVE this one! The colors make me happy (just saw what I did there lol$ and I love plaids and the floral and the sentiments will be so easy to use for my PL. it’s my favorite story kit this year. |

I'm just trying to figure out what happened to the 'Work' kit that was scheduled for this month. I noticed the original list ther was on the website said work for this month- but it also had wonder as a theme. When Ali gave us that list for the upcoming year with projects and releases the order of the Therese was different and wonder became habit. I have that list in my scrap room. It’s also nice as that list shows the pattern paper for eadh theme (the border) so you get a clue of what the colors might be for the kit! |

I like knowing what colors to expect. Thanks! |

Same - I had it skipped and can cancel now, but I like this and it pairs with my OLW Joy. I just unskipped. It's so pretty, and it goes with my word as well (Light). I'll skip the next one, whatever it is. I didn't realize that the patterns are included in Ali's list. Will look at that again. I may use some of the elements for my WITL. |

I like it but still wish the colors were a little brighter.
ETA: I do really like the Alpha stamp set this month.

I want the scrapbook kit but I'm not going to start a subscription. I'll just hope to get it at some point in the future.

Looking at the Story Stamp for this month, I noticed it doesn't actually have the stand-alone word 'Happy'. I think that's the first time the theme word is missing. It's too bad - I think I would have used 'happy' more than other theme words.

In the first full shot, the “happy” cutout is sitting on the orange & yellow plaid paper.

But speaking of the plastic word, I’m bummed that the last month’s “now” was digital due to the mess up of the manufacturer. I don’t do digital products so it’s just missing for me- the digital wasn’t a fix. don’t always use the words but I would have used that one. |

Oops! I just realized mom was talking about the stamp, not the kit. Back to lurking!

Ali is running a $2 embellishment sale. I found some good deals, no code required.
Shipping was $6, I had 12x12 paper cutaparts, which may have increased shipping.

I ordered that wooden stamp set because $2 was too good to pass up. I also got a few other things I don't need.  |

That’s totally what I did too! Flew through the sale page, clicking ‘add to cart’ on whatever looked usable.
I told myself, you have plenty of paper but can always use more embellishments. The lies I tell myself could fill a book! Haha

Even though I only took a handful of photos each day last week for WITL (because we made an offer on a house on Tuesday and everything went haywire), I am making some progress.
I had gotten everything in the album for each day (transparency, full page photo backed with pattern paper, the 3x8 number card, a 3X8 pp with two 3X4s in it, a 4X8 pp, a random pp (mostly for small ephemera or extra pics), then an envelope from the advent calendar). It repeats every day.
During the week I took notes on a card I made to fit inside the envelope. I had made circles for the transparencies from Kelly Purkey digital file, and I put photos into a daily album each day.
So now I'm batch printing. Yesterday I put a screenshot or something with the date on each of the 3X8 number cards, printed the full page photos and adhered them to the pattern paper.
This morning I printed the circle photos I took (thanks to Linda -- I think I got the idea for the KP circles from her as well).
Now I'll punch and then figure out how to fill the rest of the pockets.
I downloaded photos of the shows I watched and tore pages of magazines I was reading.
I also saved packaging and stuff like that.
One day I found a tiny feather and stapled it into a 2X2 pocket.
So I'm going to make this work with very few photos.
Wow, this got long! Just thinking through it.

Do we think that is a 10x8 or 6x8 album? Kind of hard to tell. I would really like to get a better look at the color palette to know if this is a collection I would want. Hopefully we get a better sneak in the coming weeks. I would really love it if they started to share color palette as a sneak vs just products.

I'm really hoping for a summer/Bright color palette. Last year's pastels were nice, but this year I want to document a trip from Cozumel. Bright would be perfect for me. Gonna skip on the album.....unless the black really makes the supplies pop..... we'll see.
