Now you're making me want to go check TM... I rarely go there but if they have the Click kit for so cheap I would have to pick it up (even though the last thing I need are more cards)! I almost want a second one. I really really really really really really love this kit. It's got a lot of the versatility that the Midnight kit had but SQUARE (did I mention that bit, yet?). The BEST cards are the ones they did 4 instead of 8 with. There are a variety of prompts for food, watching, listening, capturing, etc and both sides are great. So naturally the patterns get 8 while the journaling ones that PLers would use over and over again have 4, lol. I sorted about half for each side (except ones I really didn't like...like I don't care for the few with tan and don't care for the marble much at all) and my 3x4 stack for all of the colors is about 75% the height of the black, grey and white ones. Definitely a neutral and usable kit. The kit is black, white, grey, red, light teal, mustard yellow and tan (the tan is under 1% overall) of the kit. Colors are in order from most to least prevalent. I have a core kit that has a lot of those watching, listening, reading, etc. prompts and I love it, but it has rounded corners which makes it super hard for me to use. I can't remember the name of the kit but it was designed by One Little Bird.
I wish they had added the click kit to the app... even though I don't use that to create pages you can view all the cards in there and I have bought kits (they are usually $1-$2) just to print cards from them. I don't really like printing my own cards and I haven't found a great cardstock for it, but you can make any kit have squared corners and I do like feeling like I didn't just add 600+ cards to my stash in one day! I bought the project 52 fresh edition like that and have slowly been exporting the cards so I can save them to my computer to print as needed.
If I make it to TM I will definitely look for it. But I am trying really hard to REDUCE my stash of cards, not add to it! This will set that goal back A TON. I'm still working through a lot of the other core kits I've purchased through the years, plus my stash of SC, AE and KP cards, as well as a few from other manufacturers like CT.

Not to divert the thread away from Becky snark  but I belong to a group called Project Life Buy Sell and Trade (US only) on Facebook and someone just posted yesterday that she will take (possibly even buy) any and all unwanted PL cards to send to Army Nurses overseas. So if any of you are wanting to purge some cards, that might be a good place to start? |

I went to TM today and boy, AC has been unloading a lot of stuff, but especially old PL kits. All I saw were rounded corner core kits, so many of them!

Peas- Have you noticed the small trend of the black pages coming back in vogue for scrapbooking. I have seen some younger girls embracing our scrapbooks of really old lore, lol. I am loving it. I guess Becky can take credit for that too. No, the person to credit for that is our own joblackford . She has some really cool black pages buried deep on her Insta, like from a year ago? Trendsetter  Thank you for giving Jo a shoutout. Wow Jo's pages are gorgeous!!!!! I am also glad you gave her a shoutout because I know Becky will try to make it a trend. The history we have been sharing of Pocket Pages has me convinced now that Becky piggybacked on her friends own ideas and used it for her own financial gain. We all need to be protective of Jo when Becky starts sniffing around. You know her plan to piggyback off the Gaines family backfired in her face. I am sure she's looking for something else.
joblackford I love your pages!!!!! I have been seeing other black scrapbook pages pop up on the IG tags I peek at. One of the girls in my gaming group creates beautiful binders of scrapbook pages. She only buys black cardstock. She uses her photo's and her memorabilia. She is really sweet but she's like "I can't afford my Mom's way of scrapbooking!" LOL. No offense to her Mom. That girl is my muse. I am around her Mom's age.
I am really glad you are posting black pages. I am glad to see other IG girls loving the look too. It is days of yore when scrapping was simple but now has a modern twist. I always thought our photo's looked better on black pages. Black pages are an elegant backdrop.
Becky just confuses me. She is no longer producing physical kits? She still has a license with AC? She says there is no demand but has a new kit she is not promoting? Girlfriend is confusing. I don't even want to figure it out, lol.

So I went to TM after this thread got me excited that I might find the click kit...
I did not find the click kit, but I did buy Project 52 Fresh Edition for myself and Midnight for my daughter. At $7 each I could not pass them up :/ But, that is going to totally kill my goal of using more cards than I buy this year!

My closer store got 2 Click kits in with their truck today. I'm hoping that they are just bringing in a few each week (you know, 2 dozen per store instead of 100, lol) and the others will start to show up in the next few weeks. Click was a solid one to start with, though, because it's a neutral kit that is going to be very usable. It was difficult not buying another one (again). If it's there next week or I find it at the stores I go to on Wednesdays then I might end up grabbing it.

Toss a couple on a card base layered together for quick thank yous or appropriate themed cards? If you're determined to use them, I'm sure you'd be able to find a way to make a dent but if your goal applies just for scrapbooking then you're gonna have to scrapbook at lightning speed, I'm afraid. |

Ok, I'm totally late to this but I bought a Project Life kit years ago and never went through it. Today I was going through it to take out what I wanted. There are 10 stinking cards of each?! In what world would anyone ever use all 10 cards? I have the Honey kit and it is pretty nice but I kept four of each and that is too many.
How many albums did she expect you to make with one kit?

How many albums did she expect you to make with one kit? i don’t know but at their original price I’d have had to split them with others so maybe that’s why so many duplicates. I only have a mini mini kit. Lol and there’s still duplicates but since I have to cut them up to deal with the rounded corners I don’t mind the extras. |

In what world would anyone ever use all 10 cards? I have the Honey kit and it is pretty nice but I kept four of each and that is too many. How many albums did she expect you to make with one kit? It was meant for non scrapbookers...maybe she thought that they'd care less about variety? Even when the more recent kits changed so there were 2 kinds of duplicates for the 3x4's (8 each of some and 4 each of others), she didn't seem that thrilled to make the change in order to make her kits more appealing. The idea at the start was one box of PP, one album and one kit for a year. At the time it might not have been unfathomable that it would work even for actual scrapbookers, but then she started to release at least 6 big kits twice a year PLUS the minis, values and card packs...it would seem it never occurred to her (even though customers had been splitting her kits for ages) that smaller kits would be the way to go because the ones buying her products weren't the ones she wanted to have as customers (in spite of scrapbookers being the ones that actually made her brand big enough for chain stores). She's rigid and inflexible and would rather see it all burn to the ground than provide customers with the smaller kits they actually wanted to buy. Apparently having people complain that there was too much repetition for 1 person to ever use the kits in their entirety is the business model she wanted. |

In what world would anyone ever use all 10 cards? If I like the card, I could possibly use all of them in different ways.
How many albums did she expect you to make with one kit? No idea! My life is pretty boring right now. It would be many! I use the BH PL metal dies along with the cards from kits. Let me see if I can get these to post!
I've used this one quite a bit. I covered the camera image with a present sticker.
ETA: Sorry it's huge!

Then there are PL cards I cannot see myself using. I punched circles out of eight of them and made these for a non scrap related project.  It's hard to tell but they have a grid pattern with light blue lines. I didn't like the saying at the top of each card.

After reading all the posts about the CLICK kit, I checked the SKU via the 1-800 number and it said 1 in stock at a local store. Went and it was there. But there were 3 total. I just bought one -- at that price its a steal. I will probably share half with my friend. Hoping to find the other square kits at other TM stores. Thanks to everyone who posted about the CLICK kit. |

I like using the cards as partial layers for mats on photos. I can use a bunch up this way.

You guys! Becky started a second Instagram account for her new house and house build. @highins.home. She said that way she won’t blow up the main account with all her house stuff.
I mean it’s not like we haven’t been saying that for ages. I wonder who convinced her to do that.

I mean she’ll be in the house every day all day so there’s definitely more opportunities to drive everyone nuts about the house. You would almost think they were the first family to ever do a custom build. :rolling my eyes: |

So she refuses to create an Instagram for personal/religious posts because it is all part of who she is but the house gets its own Instagram? She’s still chasing the goal of being Joanna Gaines.
She really is so self-important. Who decided she was the guru of home decor? Let me guess, it will look like every Mormon Mommy Influencer decor. Nothing against Mormons but the inter circle of their Instagram accounts are a bit much. She will call it unique but in reality I could walk into my local store and buy it off the shelf.
There will probably be a lot of “You guys! This is amazing! Swipe up and use the code Becky20!”

I unfollowed her everywhere, email, instagram, facebook, etc. I just couldn't take anymore of her endless banter. I listened to 1 podcast out of curiosity and couldn't make it through. So I will just get my updates from this post. I bet she wants free stuff and is hopeful if she posts everything she purchases for her home the vendor will notice and she can become an "influencer" and get "sponsors". Never ending Becky drama... |
