I'm going to need to see how people use those photo frames.
I feel like I had some back in the day, perhaps Basic Grey. I just put a photo in one and it had its own tab on it so I made it so you could lift it up and there was something underneath.
I love the star pattern on that box.

She posted a sneak of Christmas stencils,silkscreens and it looks like she has paint in jars of her brand that she used. I had missed those! Here’s a photo.  WHOOOO BOY!!! Stencils? Paint? I am in TROUBLE. |

Yes, every once in awhile she does offer the classes for sale. I can't remember the last time she did that. I usually don't purchase older classes since I'm still catching up with the content I've purchased through subs! Her Story Kit class for "First" is offered for free--don't know if you have that one already. I remember using my debit card for a subscription awhile back--does AE no longer do that? Or did you mean you would prefer PayPal? Thanks for the response! I saw the firsts story kit class and snapped it up for free but I don’t have that kit and was trying to get some scrap lift inspiration for the kits I do have 😁 Re payments, I’m an aussie pea and have to pay for orders through PayPal (no credit/debit card, just a good old fashion eftpos account with money in it!) and for some (stupid) reason they won’t let you buy subs that way through the website. Sigh. I’ll keep my eye out for future sales, I didn’t notice a stories revisited sale this year so maybe there’ll still be one? You can also look for story kit crush posts (on insta and youtube) for some inspo. Krystal Iduñate posts a lot on her channel. |

Amy Gretchen also worth binging! she’s scaled back a lot on sharing/posting too. Maybe it’s all just ending up in the classroom though? |

I don’t understand why they discontinued the ambassador program. I got tons of inspiration from that on IG. Now, there just isn’t much on IG anymore.

It seems like the ambassador program wasn't successful. I hope they bring back a design team. Maybe for DD. I followed the hashtag and got lots of great ideas. |

Seemed challenging to use in PL. I like some of the kit but some I really don’t like - like those damn glitter words/phrases. I don’t like the actual phrases or the glitter. Lol Debating whether to unskip or not. I like the stories by the month fine. I also kind of like the new grow scrapbook kit. It if was a one off I’d probably chuck it in my cart but I refuse to be sucked into the scrapbook kit sub. I generally don’t find those worth the value. |

I took a chance in not cancelling after getting the Explore kit last month and I'm so glad I did. "Let Go" is perfect for me right now because we just dropped off our oldest at college (9 hours away). The blues are even perfect because the main school color is Navy blue. The theme is also perfect because we have to "let go" of the idea of being able to go to every football game (or even the idea that because there's a game, he will play, because he likely won't play this year and no guarantees next year).
However...has anyone ever tried altering the blue glitter words (I think they were also in the Awesome kit?) I'm not a glitter fan...

Overall I like the kit. The colors are great and I love those vellum butterflies. For me this will probably be a supplemental kit for my OLW project. Not a fan of the glitter words. I love glitter but not those words and idk this theme does not scream glittery to me lol.

So far I’m pretty safe but I know seeing more things will change that plus things that I’m so so about could end up being a FOMO sitch even though I’ll try to fight that. The only thing I saw today I *need* was that die cut pack at the end. I got the stencils last year and barely used them so I don’t need more.

None of the sneaks prior interested me at all, but those two 6x8 albums will be mine. Dammit. 😂 I had sorta decided to just use a regular 4x8 CT album I already have and go light & lowkey with stuffs. Now I’m going to need to fill one of those gorgeous chonky spine albums! 😂
When I saw the photo on insta, with just the spines showing, I was hoping one of the ones I liked was the dreaded 10x8 size so I could eliminate it. 😅

Have we had the white/gold star album before? It feels like we have? or am I misremembering?
Whatever the case, I *want* those 6x8 albums. Y'all can fight over the 10x8 messy writing album though. I want no part of it.

I want no part of it. Are we about to throw down in the playground? That 10x8 album can remain on the proverbial shelf collecting dust. I think we have had gold foil stars before but that’s quite alright. Both of this year’s albums are right up my alley. I’m going to start refreshing my screen a good five minutes before the sale starts. |

I want no part of it. I looked at my albums and in 2019 it was white with gold stars and gold dots(splats) on it. Not perfectly shaped gold dots. |

I couldn’t screenshot everything but here’s some things shown that I liked. The transparency/vellum paper add on.  Tree stamps.  Vellum from the transpency/vellum add on. The tag stamps fit the vellum paper.  Canvas banner  Yeti style cup with lid using last years floral paper.  Also a notebook with that pattern.  |

The knitted sneak looks like a pillow cover to me. Maybe she's branching out her seasonal decor items? Now that you mention it, yeah, I bet that it's either a canvas wall hanging (like that would hang from a wooden rod) or a pillowcase. There is a fold line so I don't think an album cover would have that. Ding, ding ding! I called it! LOL |

What do we want to speculate on the dollar amount of the buy all option? It would make it so much easier to shop. And I’d really love it if it came with digitals too.
That said, I don’t really want the 10x8 album and I have to think it’s in the neighborhood of $600-700?

I wish the white album was decorated in the gold ornaments instead of stars. Or red, green, gold stars.
