I'm guessing the travel release will be an expansion of last year's summer offer (2 card sets, chipboard set, die cut set and possibly something I'm forgetting). Any predictions? Based on what some of the people who saw it at Story Camp have said it sounds like a whole new project release. So I'm thinking albums 2 3x8 and 6x8. A kit of some sort, stamps, sticker bundle, chipboard bundle, and die cut bundle. |

I was under the impresssion it was more than that, something like DD/WITL? I think she spoke about a 3x8 album? I agree. I think she's expanding on her usual summer offer to create an à la carte DD-like selection. Not sure how many people would use 3x8 for summer holidays as it seems on the significantly smaller size (especially with the smaller rings). Based on what some of the people who saw it at Story Camp have said it sounds like a whole new project release. So I'm thinking albums 2 3x8 and 6x8. A kit of some sort, stamps, sticker bundle, chipboard bundle, and die cut bundle. Same hunch here. I wonder whether she'll offer a travel kit like for her other projects or if it'll be à la carte only. |

I was just confused. I thought it was normally on the 13th but since tomorrow is Mother's day, I thought maybe it would be today. Oh, and now I see the picture posted above that it's supposed to be the 12th. I guess I'll try to wait patiently until tomorrow. ha! Ali originally posted the wrong date. It is always the 13th.  |

If anybody would be willing to buy the rubber banner pieces and send to me I would greatly appreciate it, I have a PayPal account I can pay you with.

I am really loving this month's kits and add on s! Last month's story kit and stamp were a big miss for me, so I'm excited to pick up some extras this time. I especially like the wood veneer and rubber banners!

Too late for the rubber banners. Oh well.
The handwriting on the die-cuts just isn't very pleasant to me so I'll skip those as well. The days of the week transparencies are really expensive in my opinion.
I do appreciate a proper SbtM add-on offer! Maybe next month's will be more tempting/still available.

The Grow Story kit looks very nice! Might bite the bullet if there are leftovers for month-per-monthers (should I get on the waitlist now already?)  |

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Question for subscribers: do you use your kits specifically in a PL album? If not how do you use it? (can you tell the kit is calling my name right now?).

I'm using some older AE story kits + other goodies for a personal story album this year. 6x8 format. Whatever's left over from the Grow kit if I purchase it is welcome to get into my PL. |

Alright, I waitlisted myself. The more I look at this kit, the happier it makes me! It's my favourite from this year so far. Ali did a great job with the theme. |

I scrap exclusively 12x12 and I just incorporate bits of the kit. I don’t have too many pics of examples as I a) haven’t used as much as I should! and b) often use them on fairly personal stories but I do have a couple in the gallery:   |

I like this story kit too - the colors are really nice and there are some nice elements. I would buy one if any were available.

Yep...they finally figured out where to do the price gouging. Seriously regretting not getting the alphas when they were at least a reasonable price now. SEVEN BUCKS FOR 7 pieces of acetate? Holy hell. The die cuts are more reasonable, but not so much when you look at how few you get compared to most ephemera packs of similar price points.

I use the kits on traditional layouts and in PL. The class content Ali produces is very helpful with ideas. She creates traditional 12x12 or 6x8 layouts, AND pocket pages every month. She records a process video for each layout/spread. The content comes with the kit subscription. Some people don't care for the videos or think that they add value. I love them and IMO they are one of the things that really sets the kit apart from the rest of the kits out there. |

I do appreciate having specific addons instead of shop items, but I think the price point on all three is too high. Those rubber banners and weekday words are $1 each. You don’t get very many die-cuts for the price, and they are a rehash of previous summer products: aliedwards.com/shop/yo-summeraliedwards.com/shop/summer-love-journal-cards |

Good catch! I didn't realise they were recycled elements. The class content Ali produces is very helpful with ideas. She creates traditional 12x12 or 6x8 layouts, AND pocket pages every month. She records a process video for each layout/spread. The content comes with the kit subscription. Some people don't care for the videos or think that they add value. I love them and IMO they are one of the things that really sets the kit apart from the rest of the kits out there. From the kits I've gotten in the past, the class content + the CT members' work really elevate the kit content. Some CT members can be super creative with certain kits and make me want them far more than I initially did when I saw them upon release. |

I had the days of the week transparencies in my cart until I realized they were $1 per word. I still haven't used the current WITL day transparencies. To add insult to injury, the a acetate words for the grow kit are 3.99 for 5 words. |

The colours in Grow are nice, but I'm not sorry I stopped subbing a while back. Yeah, me too. Its a nice kit - but only at the price point of atleast a 6 month subscription. And with no clue how good/bad the next 5 kits are, I will pass. |

I like the colors of the kit, but the word does nothing for me. I'm at the 12 month price and while I could have cancelled I didn't want to risk not getting June (Tech) and July (Adventure). I figured I'd reasess after that. My stash of Ali product is starting to hit a limit that I either need to cancel and use or find new homes for some things.
I liked the SBTM kit & add-ons. The days of the week transparencies are cool, but so tiny for their price.

I am so looking forward to this!
