Has IACB left Studio Calico or is she just starting to spread her wings and design for more businesses (what with SC continuing to shrink and all)? This month's Elle's Studio kit and other items in the shop are all IACB designed. Elle's been adding a lot of other designers lately (which I love, because it's making her color palette feel a bit fresher...her stuff was starting to become very same-y) but I am kind of shocked to see IACB partnering since I'm so used to seeing her designs at Studio Calico.
The only thing I am a little disappointed by is the birthday stamp...it's using that weird font again that was everywhere last summer.

IACB has also been designing for Feed Your Craft. She has a kit there this month and is coming out with a holiday collection through there. I think she might do a monthly kit?

i have no clue about IACB but wanted to chime in and say anyone who'd like to send me a gift couldn't go wrong with the light purple hazel alphas! The letters seem slightly tilted which has my OCD wondering how I'll feel when I get them. I bought 2 packs because it's 10 cents cheaper (at the sub discount rate) than one of the puffy and it looks like only 25 or so more have been purchased since then. I can't believe it's not more popular than that! I also love that she's made the letters butt up against each other so there isn't the gap of wasted space AND they are bigger (6x8 instead of 5x7) even though there is a fold line in the middle.
What I wish she'd do would be to include an alpha every month. The $9.99 kit incl shipping from Ali Edwards really has me second guessing the value of the Elle's Studio kits because it doesn't include shipping. ES is much smaller than Ali Edwards in terms of business size so I've let it go up until this point, but she's really going to have to consider offering more in her kits soon if she wants to remain competitive. Ali may not include many cards and has fewer embellishments since it's just one sheet of chipboard, but it's chipboard not flat ephemera AND it includes a 3x4 stamp set. As it is, I don't buy much of anything outside of the sale section at kit launch with my Elle's Studio kit anymore. Her planner thickness stickers are overpriced (it does seem she's not offering as many as those anymore, thank goodness) but she has started to sucker me back in with these alphas. I would seriously be content if that's all she did...add a 6x8 alpha to every kit...maybe even alternate between that and a 2x3 stamp set once in a while to mix things up.
