lasteve1 Same. All the usual suspects are disappearing. Carly Robertson from Lily and Twig is back to struggling after making all those public vows about memory-keeping in 2018 and revamping her website less than a year ago (it's back under construction, her IG private again). Kristi Prokopiak is still going albeit not posting much or regularly ( IG as well) if you can put up with a bit of woo. Obviously, Kari Stiles, Heather Meeson and the likes (but I guess you're already following all of these).
amidwestkingdom It's the annoying thing about IG Stories: they disappear into the abyss of never-was-never-to-be-again if you don't save them. I didn't bother saving those Stories from KP's 2018 PL album back then but she didn't add anything to/modify the Big Sur page, I'm certain. She seems done, at least for the moment, and is talking about expanding her brand and business in that New Year email so I'm guessing she'll leave the scrappy side of the business more to Tina now (who managed to complete a mini album per month in 2018). Yep, I'm following all of those. I do hope Lily & Twig comes back, but every time she comes back with promises to post more/a revamped blog she lasts for an even shorter time. Another one that disappeared completely was Kelsey Especially. nicolep I also follow Melissa, I like her style too but she does a lot of TNs which aren't my thing.
sleepingbooty when you say you saved the instagram stories, did you mean screenshot? Or is there a way to save instagram stories on instagram, like how you can save regular posts?
I loved Kelsey Especially’s albums. |

I also miss seeing tracyxo_’s layouts. There was too much of her dog and Disney sometimes, but she had a clean, bright aesthetic and I liked that she didn’t have kids to scrap about.

It's been so long since she stopped sharing layouts I forgot about her! She was also one of my favorites. There was another one for awhile too that was around the same age as Tracy and single w/o kids who did 6x8 albums and I can't remember her name... she used a lot of vellum & was a graphic designer for American Crafts, but previously hadn't do any scrapbooking. But she started after she started designing products for AC, but then she disappeared... anyone remember who I'm thinking of? |

 Here’s what I got in my grab bag. I love half of them. I don’t know how to use those women that you clothe. It’s weird to me. |

Yes, Catylyn Cole, she owns Push Print Studio www.pushprintstudio.com/ but hasn't had a collection in awhile. I think that's who you may be referring to. |

I don’t know how to use those women that you clothe. It’s weird to me. I thought those sets were supposed to be for documenting your outfits of the day, or something like that? Not sure where I saw that, though. It wouldn't work for me-- I have enough problems choosing an outfit as it is, let alone documenting it in my planner! (if I had a planner, that is...) |

So, I am hoping that I don't have any repeats as I also purchased 8 stamps. I'm surprised Jamaica's new holiday stamp was sold for $3.50 when the set is still $20.99 in the shop. |

I follow her on IG, but I didn't realize she hadn't posted anything for Push Print Studio in a while. It looks like she's been busy working on her regular 9-5 job, though. She makes references to working/being in her office on her personal IG. And she's been posting illustration work on her portfolio IG. |

E-mail for subscribers this morning: That’s great she’s going to include digi files now, especially the brush files for the stamp set. If the price doesn’t change, that really adds a lot of value to the kit. |

I'm hoping I get my package today. I never make mystery purchases because I usually have a lot of the stuff and I don't want duplicates, but I bit on this one and got 8. $3.50 plus the 20% off made it worth it for me. If I get duplicates or ones I don't like, I will give them away.

I like Kristi Ps layouts...good aesthetic but she looks really familiar. I think she used to be Kristina Contes from the CK hall of fame fiasco

I haven’t received an email that my order and sub have shipped  Really excited to get my kit too. KP posted and emailed some pictures of her project life cards she made using the kit stamp and the camping stamp from last summer and they are so cute! She also printed small pics to fit the postage stamp and it’s adorabke. But I love postage stamps! And super excited she’s going to be sending out the digi files for the stamps as well! Wonder if she’ll do a digital kit for those that just digi scrap. From the email:  |

I hope she does more like this — it’s the creativity we miss from her. |

I got my mystery package today. I got the grid cards (ok, as expected) and my one mystery stamp set was Be Kind by LLP, messy handwriting and interesting icons and all (a little disappointing as I was hoping for Jamaica’s holiday stamp or KP’s Color Me Happy). The sticker mystery bundle was better than expected - I got the 3 holiday sets and quite a few usable sheets/themes. Overall, mystery is just not for me. The value was great, though!!

I am hoping for digi kits. I loved my KP kit sub until the postage became so outrageous and I'd be happy to resub to something digital.
Re the clothes stamps, I've seen someone do something really smart with them (haven't a clue who...sorry) but as a swimmer, I've been tempted by the beach based set, because swimming themed PL resources are rare as hens teeth. I didn't buy, but created something inspired by what I saw...still would have liked the real thing though.

I didn't want any kit subscriptions at all this year, but maybe one is ok. I'll have to think it over. |

I used to love everything Kelly Purkey put out. I hate that messy handwriting with a fiery passion, and I cancelled my sub because of it. I know people grow and evolve, but I miss the kits from the good old days. #getoffmylawn

Here’s what I got in my grab bag. I love half of them. I don’t know how to use those women that you clothe. It’s weird to me. I received almost the exact set 7 out of 8, instead of Jamaica's stamp (I have it in my stash already) I have the "On the Mate" I think they meant "On the Mat" stamp set, the Yoga one. I'm extremely happy with them all because I wasn't willing to pay $17.50 each for them, but $3.50 was amazing!!! |

I got 2 grab bag stamps: "wearing & loving" and "oxford." I'm satisfied -- wouldn't have bought them for full price, but I think I'll use them enough to be worth the purchase.
On a positive note re: KP customer service, I'd emailed them after missing the "feel it all" kit asking if they had any "leftovers" after kits were shipped, I'd like to buy them. Included in my package were the sticker sheet & stamp set, for which I'm very appreciative. As a therapist, I know I'll get a lot of use from the stamps set.
