Makes me want to play a drinking game every time I hear or read the word intention or intentional I take a shot!

John: "Margaret, how the hell did this house spring up in our back garden?!"
Margaret: "Oh my, I must have unintentionally built it when I was browsing Instagram!"

FYI: The prices through the PL App have not been reduced. She must have the discounted product on her website.🤨🤨🤨🤨

Digital project life and the PL app are two different entities. The sale at digital doesn’t apply to the app. She once had a 99 cent sale at the app and I bought probably 20 or more kits. That was at least 3 years ago though because my oldest was still in high school and I was working on an album for her. She graduated in 2017.

That whole post about the interview is pukey. WTF. I hope they have a big fight about who needs to get up and turn out the light after they get in bed because they *intentionally* did not have any other lamps. Maybe they have switches bedside, who knows?

I found the Christmas decorating with the interior designers stories tacky. Clearly, she has money and can spend a seemingly infinite amount on brand new Christmas decor for her McMansion using expensive interior designers, but flaunting her wealth is in poor taste. I admired her for creating a brand and launching her concept in an easily accessible way, but she is so far from the scrapbooker she used to be and I’m over it. Becky Higgins is no longer a memory keeper with memory keeping products. She is a wanna-be mommy blogger whose goal is to curate free crap while shilling non-memory-keeping products to her followers. :/

Has anyone seen Becky’s demonstration of what it’s like to cut normal wrapping paper? It’s in her Instagram Stories and in her highlights for Stone Wrap. It’s a demonstration straight out of a terrible infomercial.

Is “durable” wrapping paper really that big of a priority?

Stone wrap is also being discontinued because it doesn’t “totally align with their brand”. A.k.a. It didn’t sell so they are no longer producing it.

SUPER environmentally conscious. Esp for a product that’s made to be used and thrown away after one use. What’s wrong w paper that can at least be recycled?

Is “durable” wrapping paper really that big of a priority? I just wrapped 40+ presents in the last two days. I can appreciate a thicker paper (like the Hobby Lobby brand), but scissors actually cut all kinds of paper. Who knew?

I almost exclusively buy my wrapping paper from TJ Maxx and Marshalls these days. $3-4 for a roll of paper and they're usually thicker, really great quality actually! Why should I pay $7+ per roll plus shipping when I can get a nice roll for a few bucks elsewhere?

A paper-crafter ain’t much of a paper-crafter if she can’t cut paper with scissors, now is she. But the other Becky “bought 60 rolls”! So by all means, I should hop right on that train so I can be just like her. You guys...!

Maybe it isn't intentional enough. Someone asked her point blank if it could be recycled and she said it was "eco-friendly." What does that mean? That is just a lie: www.wired.com/2013/02/stone-paper-notebook/"But in making stone paper, the mineral graduates from just being a simple coating to being the heart of the product, comprising 80 percent of its composition. The calcium carbonate is ground into a fine powder and mixed together with a small amount of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Yes, HDPE, the synthetic plastic made from catalyzed natural gas byproducts, which raises the question of greenwashing on the part of the people behind the material." Being neither fish nor fowl (neither paper nor plastic) it will likely not be recycled correctly (put in w/paper, for example) or not processed correctly (if you put it in w/plastics, it will be fished out as paper). It's a far cry from using recycled paper for wrapping. Or, better still, use gift bags and keep REUSING them. There are likely good uses for stone 'paper' - but wrapping gifts ain't it - imo. The Beckys are just sad and misleading about the 'eco friendly' bs on this.

Is wrapping gifts ever “eco friendly”? Like almost everything, it's a continuum. From good 'eco friendly' like totally reusing paper you already have around (like newspaper, like people did in the past), to bad 'eco friendly' like using 'stone wrap' which is supposed to be good because it 'lasts' - which is not very important when wrapping a present for a few days.

She probably meant to imply that the eco-friendliness of stone wrap comes from the fact that it’s made from a byproduct of some other process, meaning it’s eco-friendliness is inherent in the front end, not the back end use.

There are many sides to every story when it comes to "eco" goods, partly depending on what environmental damage you're willing to trade off, since almost everything has a bad side in at least some contexts... but anyway, BH is not someone I would trust to tell me what is an ecologically sound choice in anything...

The paper at TJMaxx (don't have a Marshalls) is amazing. Its thick but still cuts well. Great designs as well. Its my go-to for paper year around.
