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. Im gonna be pissy if its a 10x8 album. Just say'n. |

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.Are you talking about the album? Thats navy blue. |

I hope I don’t have to have any of that travel release because I just realized I will be at Disneyland with the family that day. 🫣

Oh, stencils are fun. I was one of the lucky ones to nab the Christmas stencils this year before they sold out in 3 minutes. These will probably go fast, too. My goal is to buy nothing from the travel collection- we will see how that goes! 😂😂😂

Stencil is a smart offer after Christmas pack did well. I’m not a big stencil user so I’ll need to see more of the pack before this would even be of interest. Really want to see colors! Come on color sneaks.
I do like the album and I just bought more of the 49&Market everywhere collection, which is travel themed and I am hoping the color palettes overlap as the AE travel album will go well with the 49&M colors - navy, light blue, orange, lime green.
I’m signed up for Heidi Swapps set sail class and my hope is to be able to combine products across lines to create a couple of travel albums inspired by the class using these products. I have a backlog of trips to scrapbook and I am hoping this is the inspo I need to get some done and also get prepped for a trip we are taking to Spain this summer!

I thought Ali wasn't changing the store stamps to the cheaper version? I ordered the Phrase 4x6 stamp and it feels different than her usual stamps. I am not certain if it's because the words are small so flimsier or if they changed the stamp material. Did anyone else get this stamp? What's your thoughts? www.aliedwards.com/shop/phrases-4x6-stamp-set |

What's your thoughts? www.aliedwards.com/shop/phrases-4x6-stamp-setI bought that stamp set and I don’t notice any difference in quality. It’s not like the cheap 3x4 ones. Those are like the sticky is on the wrong side and this stamp isn’t like that. I was glad to see she finally acknowledged there was a problem with them and they are looking into it. Those stamps are basically unusable. |

I recently filled out a survey for SBTM and I talked about the stamps being unusable and that I’d prefer other supplies in the kit over the unusable stamps. |

Let me think on it and try to remember where I saw it. I think it was in the comments on a blog post or maybe in the WITL Prep day. I know it wasn't in the Facebook group because we aren't allowed to say anything in there. ***ETA- Here it is. It was on the blog post about the Now story kit and May 2023 SBTM. Down in the comments, someone asked about the quality of the stamps and Ali did say they were talking with the vendor about the issues. She doesn't say much but she does admit they are discussing it. aliedwards.com/2023/04/now-story-kit-may-2023-stories-by-the-month-kit |

I love what Ali did with the vellum on the back of the 3X8 cards. I looked through my entire stash and I have 1 sheet of vellum.
I might dig out the december daily bin. I don't remember if I have anything that might work.

So in my EMAIL BOX I get this message: Memorial Day Shipping Offer Coming Soon
Enter your email to be the first to know and get early access.
Well. They emailed this offer to me. Via my email. So obviously, they already have my email.

So obviously, they already have my email. Me too! Apparently as an international customer I should be very excited. Gonna list some new stuff or expect me to buy current stuff at same prices with cheaper shipping??? Place your bets now 🙃 |

I say same prices but maybe free shipping? Or free shipping with xxx amount? Didn’t get my email yet.
ETA: well that was a major disappointment on my end. $10 flat rate shipping. - since there isn’t really anything I want! Lol if it was free shipping I was going to pick up a couple smaller things but shipping would have only been $6.00 - so the sale is a big nothing burger for me.

The only real deal I see is the "exclusion." Shipping for albums is $5.00 for the U.S. and Canada, $8.00 for international. You don't need a code.

Just saw an update on the Ali Edwards Facebook Page:
UPDATED ✨This is not a drill! 20% off site-wide AND $10 Flat Rate Shipping starts NOW. This includes US, Canada, and International orders! We know shipping is expensive, especially for our international friends, and we are so thrilled to offer this very rare shipping special. Just use promo code 10SHIPPING at checkout and enjoy. The promotion starts now and ends Monday, May 29th at 11:59pm EST. Use code TAKE20 for 20% off your entire purchase (excluding gift cards). These two codes can be stacked to take advantage of both offers!
**Are there any exclusions?**
Albums are the only category excluded from the shipping offer. Each album will have a $5 flat rate shipping in the US and CA and an $8 flat rate for international shipping. This will be in effect through Monday at 11:59pm EST.
**When does the shipping promotion end?**
This shipping offer ends on Monday, May 29th at 11:59pm EST.

Yeah, I just saw that! Their “flat rate shipping” sale must have been a bust. I went ahead a bought a couple things now.

Nothing worth buying for me even though there is $10 flat rate shipping and 20% off 🙄 now if albums were not excluded I may have gone a little nuts but as they are I’d just be buying more things I already have or don’t need.

I ended up getting a storybook album because I needed one anyway, and it was a good deal with 20% off and just $5.00 shipping. I also got a couple of digitals. The only other products I would have liked to purchase are stamps (even though I don't need any!). It's cheaper not to use the flat rate shipping on them because even if you get two stamp sets, the shipping rate is $6.00. I'm going to hold off, though. I'm waiting for the travel collection, which will hopefully have some items I can use. |

What happened to the AE Ambassadors? I was reminded of them this week with the handful of scrapbookers featured in the Photo Play blog posts. If it’s been gone for a while…I guess I didn’t notice?!

They had a bunch of past kits in the last monthly kit shopping period. I’m just going through my box now. I’m for sure certain that they had the Jan/Feb 2023 kits marked down to $10 as well. I just noticed they’re all missing from my box, and actually were never ordered. So, to be clear, I didn’t pay for them, but I’m sure they were marked down and I’m sure they were in my “box”. Am I crazy? Did anyone else catch this?
The 2023 kits still show up as available when I go to My Stories by the Month.

I’m not a subscriber as I don’t have a credit card so I have to wait for the stories revisited sales to pick up kits (thus my query, also not on socials apart from here so I don’t get all the sneaks etc). Why they can’t charge PayPal monthly I’ll never know 🙄 so I often look at what’s available in stories by the month add ons and get very jealous 😁 |

I haven't seen anything about it yet, but hopefully it will be mentioned soon. The blog gets updated on Friday, so maybe we'll hear some news today. lg, I'm so sorry you can't use PayPal for the subs! I subscribe to other companies, and PayPal is accepted for recurring charges. I wonder if it's an Inked rule, but it's ridiculous since it's cutting off some of their business. thispea , I haven't heard anything about the Ambassadors either, not since December Daily. I know it was supposed to be experimental, so maybe it's not being continued this year. There's still quite a bit of inspiration on Instagram, but I don't know if it's from "official" sources. |

I’m kind of bummed about the Story Play kits that I bought. Ali is working through the second one about photography, but I didn’t think it would be so introspective. I thought it would be more of a guide on taking photos, and more light-hearted. The color kit was fun, and I like how it looks in my PL.
Anyone else using the kit and loving it?
I definitely don’t want to use it right now, while feeling uninspired.

I am planning on using the kit in my project life and I will likely fill in the 6x8 pages for my personal mini album. I haven't used them yet, but I will definitely share when I get to it! What happened to the AE Ambassadors? They discontinued the program this year. |
