Thanks all who responded re Ali's new class. I think I will take the plunge tonight so I can catch up and also participate in the ZOOM tomorrow. Maybe this will be my Inspo for Dec Daily layout designs this year.....

The Halloween kit is freaking adorable!! I adore it. And Ali’s new handwriting style that I normally hate, totally works for halloween. My kids at 16+ but they love Halloween more now that never. The high schoolers are having a party and the college kid has a whole weekend of events planned.

Ok, I don't even really celebrate Halloween, and I like a bunch of the kit (mainly the pumpkins, lol). It's also a great (for AE) price point of $29.99.
If one of the Christmas kits had been like this, I may have purchased one.
I might get this, and then sell the Halloween/spooky stuff.

It’s really cute. I bought the Halloween last year and used some and told myself I didn’t need another as I have plenty left and I don’t do much with Halloween anyway. But I watched the unboxing and I love it of course.  |

I liked the kit too. It will never happen, but I wish there was a similar kit for Christmas. 30 dollars and free shipping if you're a subscriber is much more affordable. ( works on a month to month)

I like the Halloween kit, but I don't scrap much Halloween *actually, I never scrap Halloween anymore* so its a pass for me.

Am I crazy for liking the kit but not loving it? No cards (or did I miss them?). Nowhere near as original and fun as some current collections are, especially when you consider the small but mighty European Halloween market (I'm being a real lil Veruca Salt here, I feel). It's a good kit if you don't have an established and up-to-date Halloween stash. Otherwise, like me, you're left going in circles and wondering where the cards and story prompts are.  "But I have a whole selection of pretty ghost papers and so many embellies that say 'trick or treat', gimme cards instead!" It is good value for an AE kit. Undoubtedly so. Just another pass from me. I'm a little frustrated. I'll probably have to hit up my Elle's Studio black market person to get some of their new à la carte Halloween stuff sent to me instead. Because ES gives me the stuff I need to complement my small but mighty Halloween stash. AE assumes I need the basics (I really don't - Halloween is my Achilles' heel in scrapbooking). |

This made me realize that there are no journal cards. Totally missed that. Honestly, I think that’s why Inlike the kit so much. 😂 Ali’s cards are just not my thing. I’m planning a mini album outside of a typical binder, maybe using one of the Tim Holtz folios? |

I like the Halloween kit but I wish it had a few more colors and yes I wish there were cards. I’m still going to buy it.
I hope they make an album one year. I think it would sell. Maybe a 3x8,4x6, or a folio. A 6x8 with a smaller spine, like they used to make, would be great. I miss the smaller spine albums for OLW. I stalk ebay and mercari regularly looking for them.

I saw that this morning and it reminds me of another font but for the life of me, I cannot remember what it is! Anyone know? |

When I saw that alpha previewed earlier this week I knew I would get it and it sold out and went to preorder within an hour or 2 this morning. I am a big Kerri Bradford stamp fan. |

I was thinking of getting that Fall class from last year with the 30% sale.
Did anyone buy it?
Not sure what to expect from it. Would love to know what you thought.

Has anyone taken Stories of Travel? The 30% discount is enticing me (does it get any deeper?) and I like the idea of having a plan for documenting while I’m on a trip…

I don’t remember ever seeing kit sneaks- sometimes there will be add on sneaks that may coordinate with the kit. They don’t always show them though and sometimes there are no new add ons, just options to buy other things from the shop as “add on.” I know the Halloween kit will be an add on though. The add on sneaks have been in the craft your story Fb page. It seems it’s the day before release if they do show up- so today. |

I want the Halloween kit, and am curious if I’m going to like one of the kits enough to get it as an add-on. |

I added the Halloween kit, too. I shouldn’t have since I don’t document that much Halloween but I really like it. I do think next fall I will do a fall/Oct album so I can use some then, too. The new alpha was great but I didn’t add as I’ve spent so much already with dd and I find I don’t use alpha stamps enough to justify the cost for me.
