Love how you tackled the journaling on the journaling cards. I tend to shy away from that style of card because I do all typed journaling and it's too hard to format the journaling on those journaling cards with the stripes. Great reminder to just print the journaling on a block and adhere over the stripes!

It can be tough to make typed journaling work with those kinds of cards. But at least they’re not a lost cause!

Thanks for the font name! And I'm in agreement with you on the kits this year. Different. I'm having trouble using the vellum - when I do I put white cardstock behind it. I have used some of the vellum pieces stapled on top of the page protector and as a flip-up. But the colors this year have certainly been different. I appreciate Lisa for designing all of them, but I also pull from my stash and am sad that they do not coordinate with each other. Great layout - again love hearing your thought process.

I also think constructive feedback is valuable so that hopefully things change. personally I am hoping they tone down on the use of gold. it's on like every item and it feels a bit over the top this year (especially on colours that do not suit gold - yech). also, not every kit needs or suits yellow. bring back white! anyways lol.

I had all the days of the week but was missing the third September stories tag 😳. This year I’m getting the SBTM Kit - I haven’t gotten these for a while and I do have a few years to go back and complete so the repeating month pieces don’t bother as much as they normally would. I stopped subbing to the story kits for exactly that reason though. The repetition of the theme on cards, chipboard and embellishments annoyed me. I just kept thinking “why do we have to see the word over and over? Can’t they use a thesaurus and change things up a little?” Thanks for sharing your pages and for your honest reviews!

Susan, this made me laugh. It will be interesting to see how the SBTM look next year and the new kit they're doing instead of the Story Kit & Stamp.

Hi Kasha, I’m a huge Ali Edwards fan forever and ever however I sooo appreciate your honesty!! I do know that ‘they’ (the Ali Edwards company) does listen… the stamps in the SBTM kits last year were such poor quality and so many people complained… they did change back… anyway, I just want to say I love your content and hope you are not getting backlash for your honesty … ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing Olivia's album. I know you weren't sure if you'd keep sharing your PL process, or anything about her or her story album, but I'm glad you've continued sharing. Honestly, I appreciate you being true to yourself and expressing your opinion on the products, too many people point out or only use their favourites and don't say anything negative, which is fine, but if more people talked about what they didn't like, maybe things would change. I know she said something somewhere about the die-cut packs for the SBTM kits being different next year, possibly because people shared their dislike of the repeated shapes every couple of months. I understand it's not easy to create brand-new designs for all the different kits/projects they have going on, but the SBTM kits have very little that's new in them, and it's disappointing. Maybe when she reveals all the new kits for next year I'll consider resubscribing to the SBTM kits, but I'm also anxious to see the changes to the Story Kit and Story Stamp subscriptions she mentioned.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I appreciate that you speak your mind. Nobody can like everything, I'm always slightly suspicious of uncritical fawning. And to be honest I'm getting more tired with every AE project shared by others on social media, it all looks so same-y. Just to clarify, it's the layouts that bore me, not the actual project. Personally, the kits have too much handwriting for my taste, so I would never subscribe. Still, I like that you try to make the best of it and love your pages.
@KashaGage2 ай бұрын
Thank you. When people have the same supplies, there are only so many ways it can be used. So it's inevitable that there will be some sameness. I feel like several of the kits for other projects this year had less handwriting. I'm curious to see the kits for next year.

I bought a lot this year ! I was surprised because normally, I don't like Blue and Yellow as Christmas colors, but I don't know, I really like the kit this year ! I purchased the main kit, the 10x8 papers, some embellishments and the Tree album (planning to use it for camping trips). I am not a stamp user so no stamps for me. I was hesitating on the 10x8 transparencies but I think I have enough. I am hoping to finish my 2024 album this year though !

I’m from Europe - I don’t mind the American stuff - I can make them work in other times and projects… but I hate the colors lately and the way too big embellishments both chipboard and cardstock! And way too much repetition… I’ve loved the soft and pastel colors of the June kits in earlier years. If colors and new designs don’t change for next year I’ll cancel my subscription too. But I can’t now because of the monthly title cards. But maybe switch to digital only … there is way more stuff in the kits than the years before, but there’s so much too I won’t ever use. Especially those big big embellishments…
