[hunib]

mine is here - it looks great - can't wait to try the death by chocolate coffee

[AJH]

Mine didnt arrive either.... hope it comes tomorrow and thatits not in the hands of the customs man...!

[lynncooper]

Mine is here!!

[maggiemae]

Mine is here too - I had forgotten about it so it was a nice surprise to come home from work to :)

[liberty]

All of the Jersey kits arrived yesterday.

Sue

[AJH]

Mine still hasnt arrived .... hope it does soon , but I guess it could be held in customs, Ive been very lucky lately with anythign Ive got from the US, so I guess its about time they 'caught' me....

[lilacshirt]

Well mine isn't either :( : but I only ordered the basic kit, which is under the customs limit. Could Customs still hold them do you think?

[Pippin]

Hi everyone ^_^ i'm about to subscribe to this thread (thanks to liberty for the info about it) so i thought i'd subscribe to the chat. Anyone know when July's kit is out please? I'm not keen on June's (and i'm devastated that i missed previous kits :( they looked gorgeous - very 'me').
Hope to be on here - eagerly awaiting the arrival of my kit soon, have a good day everyone xxxxx

[lilacshirt]

Hi Angie: I am a new subscriber too, and yes, I wish I had got some of those previous kits too!

I think that they start sending the kits around the 8th of each month, btu I'm sure that this thread will be updated nearer the time. If you go into the 'forum' part of TSR, Tammy usually tells people when they are on their way I think.

I got my kit today :wub: :wub: :wub: just put the kettle on to try the coffee, which smells fantastic, then off to print out the recipe cards.

[Pippin]

Ooooh it makes me wanna buy it just for the coffee and recipe cards :lol:. Nope - i'm being good and holding out till the next one is out........plus i'm still waiting for a reply to the e-mail i send them 3 days ago :huh:.
What does everyone think of this months kit? Any good? xxx

[maggiemae]

I like it a lot Angie - I find it ofter looks better in real life, and it smells better too - as long as you like the smell of coffee :D

[liberty]

Not my favourite so far but it's amazing how that can change once you start using it. I'm using the Basic Grey for a swap and it's coming together quickly, but not colours I would have chosen for myself.

Sue

[lynncooper]

Sue did you get the images ok? Sent about 20 all together in about four different emails.

[AJH]

Hi all !

Pippin - Angie , July's kit will be posted on the Scrap Room home page on the last day of the month, it usually appears at about 4.30.pm onwards. Definately a great monthly kit to get, I can highly recommend it , I have been getting it since last Novembers kit and too wish I had seen it before I did ! You can in the meantime , if you really cant wait for Julys kit is order a Sampler for $15, which has 4 kits which will be similar in content to your monthly kits and Tammy usually tailors them roughly to what you usually want to scrap.

Tina, so please your kit arrived yesterday - did you enjoy your coffee?!

Anyway mine arrived too , not all the papers would be ones that I would normally choose to buy myself but as Sue says , once you start using them it often changes. I do love the Chloes Closet and the Basic Grey however. I also got my kit for being the random winner of the Get More Pages Done challenge , which is lovely from the KI range and my 4 kit sampler which Tammy has done absolutely amazingly well - some brilliant kits including a lovely Scenic Route Charlotte kit , and another kit that had a whole pack of lovely Making Memories velvet stickers, all in all incredible value for the 4 kits, and a lovely surprise. Oh and am really pleased I went forthe embellishment kit this month, once again very good value.
Hope everyone has fun using their kits.

[lilacshirt]

Tina, so please your kit arrived yesterday - did you enjoy your coffee?!


xxxx

LOL, yes thanks!! The sad thing is, I don't actually like coffee :lol: !! (Don't tell tammy LOL) . Being a total chocoholic, it smelt so good I just had to drink it anyway: and did rather enjoy it.

I am the same with the kits: left to my own devices I only usually buy lilac paper, and bazzill in every colour I can get my hands on. Last night I did a DLO using the American Crafts kit, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it.

[AJH]

Well can I make a confession.... I havent ever drunk any of the coffee, I do like coffee now and again but it gives me such a bad headache, however I do keep meaning to try them. I have a lovely little collection of them and I do like sniffing them !!! OK OK you can all call weird .... but they do smell lovely dont they. I think I will challenge myself to usingone of the coffee's this weekend, maybe make my hubbie a cup tomorrow with my daughter for Fathers day and have a few sips of that. The American Crafts kit was my least liked one , but now Ive got it I think it willbe OK on a LO ... looking forward to seeing what youve done with it Tina , will you be uploading it on the TSR forum ?

[Moose Friend]

I wondered why i was't getting any prompts!

I haven't had my kit yet :( had a problem with my credit card, but Tammy has been great and has kept the kit for my and hopefully my card'll be OK on Mon.

[lilacshirt]

The American Crafts kit was my least liked one , but now Ive got it I think it willbe OK on a LO ... looking forward to seeing what youve done with it Tina , will you be uploading it on the TSR forum ?

...erm...done it :huh: (I was feeling brave).

[maggiemae]

Much as I like this month's kit I am drowning under stash at the moment so I have decided to sell my June kit in the marketplace - just thought I would post here in case anyone is on the waiting list and missed out on the june kit :)

[Moose Friend]

Whoo Hooo! My credit card has finally been accepted, so hopefully i'll get my kit soon.

[AJH]

Whoo Hooo! My credit card has finally been accepted, so hopefully i'll get my kit soon.

Oooo great news!

In case some of you havent seen, Tammy has uploaded some bonus items including scrapbook kit in a bag, layout kit and Fancy Pants Chi Chi Primas

xxxx

[liberty]

I wondered how much the primas would be to post and whether they were a good price or better to buy from a sponsor?

Sue

[AJH]

Hiya Sue

I dont they will add much to the shipping cost as Tammy is shipping them internationally only in a bag not in a glass bottle for safety. I must admit I have ordered them as DH pays for my monthly kit whereas I have to pay for my regular stash so anythign I can get him to pay for I will !

xxx

[liberty]

I missed that, but they're all sold now anyway. Never mind I can do without them.

Sue

[AJH]

Sue theres more Primas added now !

xxx

[JerseyScraps]

Thought it was quiet on here hadn't realised a new thread had started. I actually love all this months kits some of my favourites so far but I do need to start using them. I have ordered the kit in a bag for next month.

[Moose Friend]

My kit came today, i'm currently stoking it!

[Moose Friend]

or even stroking! :)

[Angela]

I've just ordered the Sampler Kit so am really looking forward to this. From reading this thread it seems to be a lovely kit then??? Cant wait now.:rolleyes:

[jillti28]

I have just signed up - but as it's so late in the month I am not sure whether I shall get June's or will not get one till July...........

[hunib]

you are going to love these kits - hope you get the junes one - i think we get the embellishment e mail tomorrow - can't wait to see what tammy has picked this month:)

[AJH]

Moose Friend , glad your kit came quickly in the end. Angela, hope your Sampler kits come soon too and that you like them, my last Sampler kits were fab .

Havent gone for the embellishment kit this month but instead went for the Scrapbook kit in a Bag and 3 lots of the Primas.

xxx

[JerseyScraps]

I've gone for the scrapbook kit in a bag too Anita, but I did manage to resist the primas:lol:

[AJH]

Well done Liz!! They just called to me !! I so dont need them really.... oh well....

[liberty]

Has anyone used any of their kits yet for June? Only 4 more days to make Diva. I've used two so far.

Sue

[JerseyScraps]

I'm having another bad month Sue - none used so far but then I've been in this position before and made it :lol:

[stardust]

I'm seriously thinking of subscribing to this. The kits look fab.

A couple of questions

When is a pic of the next kit up on the site?
How much is shipping?

[hunib]

hi- the kits shows on the last day of each month - shipping is usually between 10 & 14 dollars ( depends on if you have any extras - lots of yummy ones this month! or the monlthly embellsihment kit added). It is a great kit - i have loved each one so far. If you do subscribe mention one of us as tammy sends a sampler to them for recommending people.:D hope this helps
claire

[liberty]

The kit costs between 18 and £20 in total depending on weight and exchange rate. The sampler kits are great value as Claire said.

Sue

[AJH]

Sama as Liz here, had a good scrapping start to the month .... but this past week or so just cant do anything , dont know why .... but I must and will tonight !!!!! I probably wont panic about getting my 4 LO's done this month tho for TSR as I doubt I could win the challenge again !

xxx

[lilacshirt]

Well, this is my first month, and I have used 2 out of 4 kits already: which for me is a vast improvement on previous attempts at scrapping!

AJH, thank you :wub: for your lovely comments btw.

Not bothered about doing all four by the end of the month, but found their online crop great for inspiration/sketches etc.

[AJH]

Sounds like a good month Tina, well I had been awful this month and not even used one of my kits... even though I have kept looking at them, must get a move on before next month ... this is the first time I havent used them before seeing the next kits, which will be up later today, no reflection on the kits - just me !

My pleasure re the comments Tina !

xxxx

[JerseyScraps]

When I signed up I decided if I hadn't used my kits by the time the next ones were posted I would skip a month - but I can't face skipping so it is a great incentive to use them ... I may have only used one kit this month but that's enough to justify getting the next one :lol:

[AJH]

Noooo I couldnt skip a month !!!! Think I might go and use one this morning then to make myself feel that I should get the next one !!

[jillti28]

I had an e-mail to say my sub will start with the June one.... Tammy said it was posted on Wednesday morning. When should I start stalking the postie do you think? I also ordered the Oh Baby - Boy kit, which looks lovely. Also have just realised that the July kit will (presumably) be sent out next week!!! Now then (thumbing through Yellow Pages) where was the telephone number of that extension-building company................

[Anso]

Wednesday as in two days ago? If so, I think it's more realistic anything from Monday onwards. Hope you get it very soon :)

[Anso]

Don't forget, it's today she updates the site with the new kit!!! :) Nothing there so far though...

[lilacshirt]

Well I am going to be a smug little wotsit: I actually used all four! Think I may have to relinquish my crown as the World's Slowest Scrapper: even DH is amazed at how many LO's I have done this month!

Only trouble is, I have been so busy, I am completely out of Herma :wacko:

[JerseyScraps]

I have managed to get all 4 kits used, 3 lo's in one morning must be a record (except for cybercrop :lol:).

[jillti28]

What time is it usually updated, can anyone tell me please? And where on the site will it appear? This is my first time!!!1

[Pippin]

That's what i'm waiting for Jill - i was lead to believe it appeared 3 days before the 1st of the month........but maybe i got it wrong. Will check again tomorrow morning before i go to my crop cos if it's a nice kit it'll be my first month i subscribe (wasn't keen on last months)

[Anso]

What time is it usually updated, can anyone tell me please? And where on the site will it appear? This is my first time!!!1

It's always updated on the last day of the month (ie today). I don't think it's at a specific time...so you just have to keep checking every now and then. You will see the new kit on the main (=first) page. :)

[AJH]

Its showing now girlies

xxxx

[liberty]

What do you think? I'm not sure about the fourth kit.

Well done Liz on getting all 4 done. I'll have a go at my last two kits tomorrow before the deadline.

Anyone going for the design team?
Sue

[Moose Friend]

the fourth one is not paper that i would normally go for, but i'l sure i'll use it (got a number of friends with daughters!)
Don't think i'll be going for the design team somehow!

[lilacshirt]

LOL, nor me!! Just enjoying being able to scrap so much c/o recipe cards and their whole message board.

[Pippin]

It's online - the new kit is out folks :D just had a quick peep, looks nice...................not me at all but that's why i wanted to go for this kit.........branch out and play with new designs. Will order it tomorrow as i'm off to the crop now, what's everyone else think about it???

[lalamuppet]

I've ordered one...my first one as a one off so I can see how I like it!

[AJH]

Hope you enjoy it Kate , a couple of this months arent what I would usually choose for myself but am looking forward to receiving them anyway, in fact ... I cant wait !!

xxx

[helsbells]

I ordered the June one last week and just received it. The papers are fantastic and I can't get over what fantastic value it is - about £12 for the kit - amazing!

Can't wait to get started and looking forward to July's kit too!

[liberty]

Not bad even with postage a total of approx £18.

Sue

[AJH]

Have fun using your first kit, at long last I used some of my June one at the weekend, slowly recovering from that horrid scrappers block illness!!!!

xxx

[helsbells]

Does anyone know how to access the recipe cards? i can't find a link anywhere nor can I find anything in the forums there...

[lilacshirt]

Does anyone know how to access the recipe cards? i can't find a link anywhere nor can I find anything in the forums there...

There is a password on the newsletter enclosed with each kit, which will give you access to the recipe cards.

Hope that this helps!

Gorgeous, isn't it? I can't wait for the next one!

Kits are being shipped today ladies xx

Kits are being shipped today ladies xx

Woohoo, fantastic! Should be here before a crop that I am going to next weekend! :D

[liberty]

Very disappointed that only US residents are now eligible for the design team search. Tammy should have thought it through before setting the challenge.

Sue

[Anso]

Very disappointed that only US residents are now eligible for the design team search. Tammy should have thought it through before setting the challenge.

Sue

Really?!?:unsure:

I have been working on my LOs today for it!! Please tell me this is not true....??:huh: :(

[Anso]

Sue - just found the post on their forum :(

This is what I posted (i'm so angry/upset!!!!):

***
Can I add my disappointment too please :( It didn't say anything about US-only in the rules. Having spent the last two days (!) working on my LOs to submit, I'm pending between anger and upset at the moment after just seeing this message.

It doesn't really seem very fair to drop this surprise on us now. I do understand the reasons, but it would have been nice to have been told all the rules from the start. Sorry, I'm just feeling very sad that I have worked like mad the last two days in extreme heat for nothing... I'm sure you can understand that too. :(

[lilacshirt]

I was never going to apply, (apart from the fact that I'm not good enough LOL), because I sort of assumed that the week-plus delay in post arriving here would mean that the deadlines would be missed anyway.

To be fair to Tammy, someone did ask the question about UK entries, but since she has been away it would have been a bit difficult for her to answer immediately anyway.

[liberty]

I completely understand Anso, their loss.

Sue

[Anso]

Liberty (or someone else) would you mind going on the scrap-room forum and see if you can find my post (which I copied above) please? I know it was there before. But now I can't see that (or the reply that someone made)

She surely can't have deleted it.....can she???

[lou-lou76]

Anso

I saw it earlier but you are right - it def has gone now!

[liberty]

It was under flavours of the month but it isn't now. They haven't even updated the rules to reflect the significant modification of them.

Sue

[AJH]

This seems unfair... especially to you ladies that havebeen preparing work for submission . I wouldnt have dreamed of trying but it really should hav eben made clear at the time, feeling a little disappointed for you ....

xxx

[hunib]

agree that it is unfair and it should have said no international entries -:(

[Anso]

Thanks both of you. :)

Can I have an honest opinion please? Was my post really that bad? I honestly can't see it. I was just stating facts and saying that I was upset since I had worked for two days on it and only been told this now.

And I find it even more upsetting that my post has been deleted and instead someone has said it was "negative" and she wanted me to "get another chance" (without leaving my post and let people make up their own minds about it). Doesn't the fact that she posted this publically in the *thread* make people think bad of me a lot more than the original post did? I feel really upset about the message she posted in the thread.

Not sure if I'm overreacting or not...?

[AJH]

Yep it still would have been disappointing for those wanted to enter but couldnt, but not half as upsetting on working on something especially and then finding out later...

[AJH]

Anso I really dont think you are overreacting, I must admit I didnt see your message on the boards over there (havent been 'over there' for ages) , I can really understand your upset and have no doubt that any message you posted would have been polite but factual, as you say it seems not very nice that she has posted in your deleted message thread....

xxx

[maggiemae]

Very disappointed that only US residents are now eligible for the design team search. Tammy should have thought it through before setting the challenge.

Sue

OH NO - I had just done a couple of LOs for this as well - oh well never mind *sigh*

I do understand the reasons but like you say it would have been nice to have been told the rules up front.

[maggiemae]

Anso - how odd that your message has been removed. Knowing your posts here on UKS I am sure that it was your usual polite style hun :wub: Obviously free speech is not allowed in the land of the free !!!! :rolleyes:

[lruk]

Ladies, I rarely look at the scrap room posts and completely missed the design team thing.

I am glad they are getting a new design team as some of the recent stuff hasn't been that inspiring, imho anyway.

I am not happy though about the whole way this has been handled. First the rules are not clear, or did they change midway? Then, polite posts stating your opinion on the lack of clarification are removed and classed as negative.

Up till now I have had a lot of respect for the way we are kept updated about kits and changes but this leaves a bad taste and has put me off a bit, which is a great pity.

[Anso]

Thanks everyone. It's nice to know I haven't gone totally insane LOL! :lol:

I have just written a long reply in a PM to the pseron who deleted my post (and PM'd me the "reasons"). I have tried to be really honest and hopefully she can see if from my side and understand that you can be upset that rules have suddenly been changed.

(God knows if it's even legal to change contest rules after they have been published?)

I have also said that there are a lot of people who feel exactly the same as me. If it wasn't for Sue telling us yesterday, I'd still be here happily working away on my stuff - and I feel very sorry for the people who still are and are unaware of these new "rules" :(

Anyway I wrote a very nice, polite and honest PM to her and I hope she can understand it from my point of view. I'm looking forward to seeing if I get a reply and what she might say.

[lalamuppet]

I'm furious about this as one of the reasons I decided to get the kit this month was to try out for the design team. Interesting how you have to use products from their kits but they wait until lots of people have entered before announcing only US people can apply sounds like people trying to make money to me.

[lalamuppet]

also wanted to mention this is not the only kit board which removes posts. I posted on the Little Red Scrapbook message board with the correct guess for the kit and I evidently guessed too early so they deleted my post!

[AJH]

Up till now I have had a lot of respect for the way we are kept updated about kits and changes but this leaves a bad taste and has put me off a bit, which is a great pity.

Same here.... , although people would have been upset if UK residents were excluded at least if they have known up front...

Anso looking forward to hearing how you get on .

xxxx

[JerseyScraps]

I just think Tammy hadn't thought it through completely and the problem arose because she posted the design team rules just before going away for a few days so wasn't around to respond to questions. Obviously with hindsight this could have been avoided but we all make mistakes don't we?

However what I don't like is fact that anso's post was deleted. I saw your post and didn't think there was anything wrong with it - you were very understandibly upset, however your post was polite and reasonable.

I agree with Linda, this leaves a bit of a bad taste for me too, however I do love their kits and they are good value so I will still be getting them - but perhaps not be looking/posting on their boards as much in future.

[Anso]

However what I don't like is fact that anso's post was deleted. I saw your post and didn't think there was anything wrong with it - you were very understandibly upset, however your post was polite and reasonable.

Thank you :)

However I actually think the whole thread has now been deleted!! :wacko: I can't find my second post either now and there's no sign of the thread at all. I think it's very, very bad that they feel they had to pull the thread. (God knows if there's actually any info *anywhere* now about it suddenly being US-only?) It was *not* a bad thread....scary that they feel like they need to censor something like that...:unsure: Scary and very sad :(

[liberty]

The whole thread was polite and rightly asking for clarification. As I said before they should really put this change on the design team call page as some may not have seen the original thread and still enter. Isn't one of the current design team from Hawaii? Can't imagine she gets her mail any faster than we do.

Sue

[CurlyWiggles]

It was me who started the thread as there was no clarification in the rules about overseas subscribers being able to apply, and i had a feeling we wouldn't be allowed, can't believe they've deleted it! They should really post in the rules that the competition is for US residents only, not everyone reads the boards and now they've removed the thread anyway! I can understand why Tammy has applied this rule, but it really should have been something she should have thought about before posting the rules, there are a LOT of overseas kit subscribers.

Maybe we should all enter anyway and they'll be so stunned by our fabulous designs that we'll get picked and then we can just plead ignorance, afterall there's no info displaying that non-US residence can't enter!

[lalamuppet]

how long do these normally take to arrive from the US?

[liberty]

About 5 days.

Sue

[lalamuppet]

ooh not too long to wait then!

[liberty]

I'd guess they might arrive Tuesday if we're lucky. Last month we all got them on the same day practically even those of us in Jersey.

Sue

[maggiemae]

Oooh my kit is here...unfortunately it arrived just before I left for work this morning so havent had a chance to open it yet. Something to look forward to this evening.

[liberty]

Ooh I hope mine doesn't arrive whilst I'm at Elizabeth's sports day. Some in the US haven't had kits which supports having a non-US member on the design team.

Sue

[maggiemae]

Sue that was my first thought when it arrived this morning...if it gets here in 5 days then the arguement for not having non-US menbers on the design team falls a bit flat doesnt it :)

[lalamuppet]

ooh I hope mine comes today!

[lruk]

me too :wub:

[Moose Friend]

just waiting to accost the postman!

[Anso]

Our postman has just been. :( So now I'm trying to remember if the postman normally brings it....or if the parcel guy does....hrm.

What about everyone else - postman or RM parcel van? :)

[hunib]

my postie brings mine -but i don't get the postuntil after lunch- i've got a long wait!

[lalamuppet]

hmm...my parcel man has just been and no kit :( He did bring me a yummo American Crafts D-Ring album though so I can't complain too much!

[Moose Friend]

My postman hasn't been yet, which is late even by our standards!

[Moose Friend]

Postman's just been, but no kit :( Oh well, there's always tomorrow!

[lilacshirt]

Mine's here :wub: :wub: and it's gorgeous! Nicer IRL than the pics too, just like last month (my first). Mind you, not sure if it came with postie or van man, sorry Anso.

[liberty]

No mail plane to Jersey on a Monday so only a slim chance that it would arrive today, never mind.


Sue

[lruk]

Postie brings mine but it's not here yet :( hopefully tomorrow.

[Anso]

Mine's here :wub: :wub: and it's gorgeous! Nicer IRL than the pics too, just like last month (my first). Mind you, not sure if it came with postie or van man, sorry Anso.


No problem. :) Glad you got yours :D

Hoping for tomorrow for me and everyone else waiting :)

[Michelles]

not here yet either,the postie brings mine anso

[AJH]

Mine didnt arrive today either, so hoping for tomorrow. Off to my first crop on Wednesday so it would be good timing !

xxx

[Michelles]

Hope you enjoy the crop Anita

[lilacshirt]

Anyone going to sign up for the Circle Journal (International group)??

[AJH]

Hope you enjoy the crop Anita

Thaks Michelle, am really nervous about it and so unorganised,its run by some ladies here on UKS so at least I will be familiar with a few names if nothing else!

xxx

[Michelles]

you will have a ball:D :D :D

[AJH]

Anyone going to sign up for the Circle Journal (International group)??

Dont think so , wasnt even going to visit the message boards anymore after this Design Team fiasco , still cant see any reference to it being for US residents only....

xxxx

[Marja]

Got my kit just now. I like the papers but have to admit... most of them arrived in other kits last month. I haven't been properly paying attention to what's coming out in my various kits, lol, so the stuff in this kit has started to become duplicates. Will have to pay attention in the future and if it keeps happening will need to reconsider!

Totally missed all the DT hoopla. I don't visit that forum as it never felt all that friendly so I didn't even know there was a DT call! Just read back through this thread and it's a shame about the rule change but at least LOs are something that you can keep in your albums so it's not wasted work!

Hope everyone else's kits arrive today!

[Anso]

Waiting patiently here.... :rolleyes:

...eh...who am I fooling?! :lol: "NOT patiently" it should be LOL! :)

[Michelles]

got mine.

[lalamuppet]

mine's here. A bit surprised it's only in a jiffy bag and I caught the postman just as he was about to bend it...hmm

[Michelles]

my postman has pushed it through the letterbox before too.:huh:

[liberty]

Mine's here too, DH must have been in when the postamn arrived.

Tammy uses the jiffy bags to save on weight.

Sue

[Anso]

Just had the post. Nothing here :( Hoping it might come with RM parcel van instead (well you can hope, can't you?! :rolleyes: )

[Moose Friend]

Mine's arrived, and i got a sample kit for a recommendation! Now i just have to decide what photos to use!

[lruk]

Mine's arrived too. Love all the papers except possibly the WR Memory keepers as I already have them and they're not really me.

[Anso]

Just had a parcel delivery and it's here!! :D

[Michelles]

Just had a parcel delivery and it's here!! :D:D :D enjoy

[Anso]

OMG I loooove this kit!! So funky papers...yummy ric rac and lots of chipboard etc :) :) :rolleyes:

[JerseyScraps]

I'm still waiting.... not so patiently - post hasn't made it here yet today and it should arrive today as I normally get it the same day as Sue.

[lalamuppet]

I am in love with the coffee! If anyone doesn't want theirs please send it this way!! (and ones from other months if you have them please!)

It can't hurt to ask right??

[hunib]

mines here to - my clever postie managed to squash the whole envelope into our little post box!! not too much damage :wacko:

[liberty]

Liz, you probably don't want to know that Lorraine got hers today too.

I put a mischievious note on the My kit's come thread which I'm sure will be deleted very soon.



Sue

[lalamuppet]

yeah I joined you on the thread....it really is stupid that we don't get the opportunity to try for the DT

Liz, you probably don't want to know that Lorraine got hers today too.

I put a mischievious note on the My kit's come thread which I'm sure will be deleted very soon.



Sue

I didn't get any post today so I'm sure it's in the island somewhere.

Only problem with your post Sue is that everyone in the US will think you mean New Jersey most Americans have never heard of our little island:lol: It will be interesting to see if it gets deleted.

[Marja]

LOL I had to go be nosey and look at the forum! The thing is, she could easily say okay the DT contest is open to the International people and then just not choose anyone outside of the US. Then there would be an uproar that no one International was chosen. Not sure how she can win on this one though and I can't imagine her changing her mind was malicious or anything...just a nuisance as it was after the call was announced from what I gather.

Were many of you thinking about entering, other than Anso?

I agree, I think it was just unfortunate that Tammy tried to get the thread posted at around the time she was on holiday/in the middle of despatching kits etc.

Were many of you thinking about entering, other than Anso?

No, because apart from not wanting to be on a DT anyway, they also stipulated that they want the DT members to be active members of their message boards. Since I only joined around a month ago, I can hardly claim to be an active member. B)

[CurlyWiggles]

I was sort of considering it, but my style is not very Scrap-Room anyway, the DT do easy step-by-step layouts, which is not me, and I think I would find it too restricting just using the stuff in the kits.

Tammy never changed her mind about allowing non-US residents to apply for the DT, she just never stipulated wether we could or couldn't enter. She said she hadn't even considered it, until I opened my big mouth and asked!

My kit arrived today, think it's one of my favourites, lots of embellisments this month, don't like the paper salon papers though, there's always one of the four that I'm not very keen on. I keep buying the bonus kits, really need to stop that!

[liberty]

Having raised the matter which took Tammy ages to even reply to, the thread was then deleted and the rules were not updated. It's not that diffiuclt to add to the rules. I was considering entering too. Whether I would have actually got around to submitting is another matter.

Perhaps Tammy is trying to attract more varied styles to her design team as many are similar styles.

Sue

[AJH]

Hi all

My kit safely arrived yesterday as well, was everyones coffee a full little packet (as per usual) or was it only me that just got a little bit in the bottom of the little bag ...??!!!???!

Am still a little bemused with all this Design Team stuff...have had a little look through the message board and cant really find it clarified about the rules, know it must be there but I cant see for looking ! .... with regards to the UK members being excluded, maybe Ive just missed it . What about the UK members who receive their kits and see about the DT on their newsletter and either dont frequent the message boards here or the TSR ones , how are they supposed to know ????? My aunt , who is a great scrapper, received her kit yesterday too and called me about the DT but I had to enlighten her that she couldnt even think about it, she is currrently computer and even when she is 'online' she isnt registered here (for her own reasons ) anyway..... Out of a matter of interest what are the reasons that UK people are excluded ? I think its very wrong that the rules on the main TSR website does not state about this , if the guidelines / submission info has changed then they should be changed there .... fair enough Tammy is away but someone should change this , I know Tammy doesnt upload the kit to the site at the end ofthe month , surely the person who does that should be able to go in and change it .... I think the note about being an active part of the message boards is not a pre requisite , just required if you are chosen.

I am not and was never interested in applying I just think its bad that this has been handled in this way, I can imagine maybe Tammy doesnt want the expense of shipping to Dt members in the UK , she doesnt know what she is missing excluding some of the great scrappers over here! I think some of the UK styles would have bought an interesting aspect to their US DT. As I say I was definately not at all interested but still feel exlcuded somewhat, and as said before its left a bad taste ... as much as I love the kit (although havent been overawed by the last few months ones) and think it great value I am looking at other US kits.

Right I'll shut up now , thanks for letting me get this off my chest , so to speak !

[AJH]

Hope you get your kit soon Liz.

[Marja]

My coffee bag is half full. I don't know if this is usual or not, I guess I just don't pay that much attention to these things! I am more than happy to send you my coffee packet Anita ;)

Have to say it cracks me up... some of you so upset over how this whole DT thing was handled (or not handled as the case may be), yet most of you weren't even planning to submit!

Anita there is another kit much like this one, 4 kits in 1. Back Porch Memories. And, Homegrown is doing the Trilogy kit which is 3 in 1. Both kits will come up if you do a google search. I get the BPM one and love it; have had it now for 3 months :) Trilogy is new so am waiting on the first one soon.

[liberty]

The reason for excluding non US DT members was the time it took to ship!!! LOL. We have our kits before some US members.

Whether we were planning to submit or not, the whole handling of the matter, deleting of thread and non updating of rules was badly managed. Perhaps others were thinking of submitting and don't want to say.

TSR's loss really

Sue

[JerseyScraps]

Anita - a couple of months ago some of my coffee spilt too - that months papers still smell of coffee -but no harm was done.

I was considering entering - I'm sure I wouldn't have got in but was thinking about it, although fortunately hadn't had time to do anything about it.

But I agree with Sue I don't think it matters whether or not we were going to enter it is the way it has been handled that is a problem.

To exclude people from the challenge without updating the rules and removing the thread that asked and answered the question to me shows they don't care about anyone outside of the US. I wonder how many non US people will enter the challenge and when they are rejected because of where they live will they be told why or just left to think their work wasn't good enough?

[AJH]

Hiya Marja

Hoping all is well with you , I had a nosey through your blog (havent looked at it for ages) and see youve moved - great news , oh and your garden looks so lovely - looks like youre working hard . Oh goodness no worries re the coffee Marja, I usually mix it with some other coffee and stretch it out between 2 cups (just!) I had a couple from other months that we hadnt fancied which were packed full little bags so mixed some together this morning , with a good result actually , quite yummy !!! Thanks for your kind thought though....

As Sue and Liz have said Marja, its just the way its been handled really , I guess I just feel for others andthe way theyve been treated as , as you say, it doesnt really affect me as I wouldnt have entered anyway.

Thanks for the mention about the kits, thats great , will definately have a look / comparison of those ones . Still have the comprehensive list you sent me last year too do you still get any of your other ones? Ive heard someone else recommend BPM so will have a lookie at that one first.

TSR's loss really

I cant really believe that that is the reason given for excluding non US residents , I often used to look at the kits received threads and found that nearly always , since the jiffy bag packagaing, that us over here receive ours before some of the US people..... I guess in reality it is the increased shipping fees that would be incurred by TSR .....

Yep definately their loss.... and especially sad to have created this bad feeling over the handling of this matter....

[AJH]

Anita - a couple of months ago some of my coffee spilt too - that months papers still smell of coffee -but no harm was done.

Hiya Liz, no none was spilt, it was well sealed , just about a quarter full as opposed to other months Ive always had a full little packet , its really nothing - just wondered if Tammy was cutting back in general or if it was just me !!! Not even sure why I mentioned it now... !!

To exclude people from the challenge without updating the rules and removing the thread that asked and answered the question to me shows they don't care about anyone outside of the US Yep exactly .... its just not very nice and most unexpected ...

[Anso]

I have found this last page of messages very interesting to read. As some of you know I was the one that was "properly attacked" when I questioned the rules and why they were not there from the start etc.

In PM to one of the mods (after the thread was gone) I already took up all the points I now see mentioned in the last day or so here, and even though she was friendly (or seemed so) she said there was nothing she could do. She even claimed (of course I can not know if this is true or not) that she had "argued the case" for the non-US scrappers to enter, but it just wasn't possible.

For me, the problem is not that it's US-only as such, it's the fact that this was something that was said DAYS after the announcement. I'm sure lots like me read through the rules, thought "yes I can enter", and started to work on their LOs.

And the thing that makes this even worse is that my message (on the thread) was pulled and then the whole thread was pulled the next day. Now (as far as I'm aware) there's NO mention of "US-only" anywhere which just isn't acceptable at all.

I feel really, really sorry for the people in the same situation as me, only worse - that they STILL don't know they can't enter. They might be there right now working away hard on their LOs in good faith thinking they can take part. That is horrible. Poor people. This has been handled SO badly. And for there still not to be an OFFICIAL addition to the rules is just beyond bad (holidays or not).

*jumps down from soapbox*

As for me, I will enter my LOs for a UK DT instead and see how that goes...

[liberty]

I agree with everything you've said Anso.

Sue

[AJH]

Hi all

Hows everyone doing....?!

Anyone used any of their kits yet ?

xxx

[Michelles]

nope:P

[AJH]

nor me !

[Moose Friend]

I have plans! but haven't actually done anything yet!

[JerseyScraps]

I have used the fancy pants kit for this weeks uks challenge - just a slo but it's a start:lol:

[AJH]

Liz , your LO is really lovely .

xxxx

[JerseyScraps]

Thanks Anita, I've never used a whole piece of paper with that much pattern on it before - normally I cut it up to tone it down, but decided to experiment and I like the result.

[Pippin]

Oooh Liz, that layout is really nice, it works beautifully for such bold patterned paper :wub:

[helsbells]

Has anyone else seen the embellishment kit for August? It looks fab!

There's pics on the website now.

[AJH]

Yep got my email last night , have to agree it looks good !!

[JerseyScraps]

I got my email last night and I agree it does look good this month and it's a good idea to extend the deadline, I did think in the past that it would be nice to see everything else before deciding on the embellishment kit.

[lilacshirt]

It does look rather nice, doesn't it? I love the look of those letters. It strikes me that $10 is a pretty good deal too!

[AJH]

Yep that was a good move about the deadline . I certainly dont think we could get the same stuff over here for the equivalent of $10 , just looking forward to seeing next week what else is in store for us !

xxx

[Pippin]

I can't find it on their website :( what is it please? :wub:

[Marja]

I opted out of the embellishment kit this month... have enough stuff much like it. Still planning on getting the usual kit though. Well, at the moment I am. Will see what the sneaky peek looks like!

[helsbells]

I can't find it on their website :( what is it please? :wub:

http://thescraproomclub.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=module&module=gallery&cmd=si&img=2868

[Pippin]

Cheers for the link - i have actually subscribed to the kit with embellie kit now :D :D :D Hurray!!!
Took me a while to take the plunge - but i'm all ready to receive Augusts kit now.............hope it's nice and lush:lol:

Now.....................someone on here actually told me about this kit - but stoopid ole me forgot who (and deleted her PM). If whoever you were would liek to re-PM me i'll remember your name as soon as you do and i can refer your name to get your free layout kit:wub:. Thanks very much xxxxx

[hunib]

just been looking at the mb- there is a new special kit showing which includes doodlebug flowers and buttons - looks yummy! also mentioned is a new paper add on where you can get more papers to go with the kits- no more details yet but will be interesting to watch.

pippin- enjoy you kits!- i have had to skip this months embellishements as i have got most of it but i may yet sucumb to the flower & button special!

[liberty]

I've got some of the doodlebug flowers and they are lovely. I also love the buttons too. I had a tidy up this morning and put all my kits in one place. I hadn't realised I had so many. I need to finish some layouts and put away some pages.

Pippin - was it me who recommended the kit to you?

Sue

[liberty]

I'd rather have extra card than patterned papers as we have no shops that sell Bazzill on the island.

Sue

[Pippin]

Sue - PM me your name and address hunny and i'll sort out what i can for you ;).
Thanks again - can't wait to get my new kits :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: and of cours ei had to go for the embellie add on version too :lol:

[hunib]

new kit is showing - not sure about it yet - i like the blue themed one

[Marja]

Oh dear.... it's the first kit I actually think I am going to skip. I have the junkitz stuff and I have the AL rub ons and I dislike the KI Memories selection and the green one isn't doing it for me either. I've already skipped the embellishment kit for this month too :( Hopefully next month will be more what I want :)

[liberty]

I prefer it to this month's kits. A bit less flowery. I like the look of the flower rub ons too.

Sue

[heather scrappy]

I have skipped this months kit, not to my taste. Although to make up for it I have taken out a 3 month sub to another US kit!!!!:D

[CurlyWiggles]

Me too, I quite like the paper salon kit but I already have the flowerful and I wasn't keen on the other two. I got the homegrown kit this month instead. I thought the SR gallery was really inspiring this month.

[heather scrappy]

I'm getting the homegrown kit this month as well!
Aren't the Cherry Arte papers gorgeous!

[CurlyWiggles]

I'm getting the tiology kit so won't be getting them, but yes they are.

[Moose Friend]

ohh it can't be that long before we get our kits! (ever hopeful!)

[helsbells]

Anyone got their kit yet? I know some of the US subscribers have got theirs.

I really want my embellishment kit!

[lynncooper]

My kit arrived this morning! It's lovely too!

[helsbells]

My kit arrived this morning! It's lovely too!

I want mine!!!

[Ginger]

Got mine yesterday and so did my friend :D So they're on their way. Hope you get yours soon.

[vandamk]

I have just moved to the Netherlands and mine arrived yesterday! Only had time for a very quick glance, but will hopefully be able to sit down for 5 minutes today to stroke! Now for some time to actually scrap (oh yes, and a desk in my work room would help :lol:, or even a dining room table :lol:)

Karin

[liberty]

My goodness you got yours quickly Lynn, about the same day as those in the US. Mine hasn't arrived yet and I'm about to go out. Just remembered the posties been. Oh well perhaps on Monday, but probably Tuesday.

Can someone tell me the password for the August recipe cards please?

Sue

[JerseyScraps]

Sue, mine arrived yesterday so yours can't be far away. Some lovely stuff in there as usual.

[lou-lou76]

The postie tried to deliver mine yesterday but my Mum was out so she has gone to collect it for me today. Cant wait to get my hands on it!!

[liberty]

Lorraine has hers too Liz. Not that I'm jealous.

Thanks for the password ;)

Sue

[helsbells]

Still no sign of mine so you're not on your own Liberty!

Just hoping it's not caught up at customs. I'm really looking forward to using those flower rub ons too...

[AJH]

Hi all

Not sure when mine arrived but when I got back from holiday yesterday it was here. I'm actually quite pleased now that I decided to get it, was going to skip this month.

xxx

[Moose Friend]

Whoo hooo my kit has arrived! Just one question... anyone got instruction on how to use the Iron-ons?!

[jillti28]

I thought they were rub ons...........................?

[helsbells]

It says rub ons on the site

[helsbells]

Finally got my kit - yayyyyy!

The paper actually looks better in real life - wasn't so sure about the paper salon stuff but impressed with it now I've seen it.

[Moose Friend]

Opps read it wrong! now i just need to work out what one of them says! one says Joy and the other is a sqiggle!

[Moose Friend]

it looks like it might be 'us' now just got to find a LO to use it on!

[helsbells]

I couldn't work out what they're supposed to say either!

[jillti28]

Now I'm really confused..... Mine are flowers..........

[liberty]

I don't have my kit, so this is just a guess, but are they part of a sheet and some get words and some get flowers? or a mix of the two? I hope I get flowers. LOL.

Sue

[vandamk]

There are two rub ons in the kit. One is the stitched flowers, and there is also the Heidi Swapp fuzzy rub ons. I think you get one large or two small, and they are words, and also patterns. You can work out what it says by looking at them in the mirror!

So no need to worry Sue, you will definately get your flowers!:lol:

Karin

[helsbells]

There are hints at the next kit on the site - along with a couple of pics of projects from it.

Some nice looking paper! Can't wait!

[Anso]

Info for everyone:
This is about the 2nd or 3rd time I have had my kit folded in half <gasp> and squashed through the door. :blink: I have just been in contact with Tammy at ScrapRoom (since I know I'm not the only UK person this happens to) and suggested that maybe she can put "do not bend" on the UK parcels. She's agreed to try this for next month and she asked me to post here to let you all know. She'd also appreciate to hear back if this makes a difference.

Thanks for reading :)

[helsbells]

I had wondered if they could do this as mine was slightly bent last time but not enough to complain about. Lets see if it works!

I've signed up for loads of stuff this month - the embellishment kit, the paper add on and the daisy d kit. Just couldn't resist!

[buzzybea]

Mine has never been folded but it was left on the doorstep this month in the rain - I was on holiday and had arranged a friend to pick up mail from the post office, luckily my next door neighbour was in and spotted it before it got too soggy.

[lou-lou76]

So what does everyone think of the kit for this month then?? I am not sure about all of it but will get it as usual as Im usually impressed when it arrives.

[Anso]

Oh forgotten to look - thanks for reminding me :)

This month kit: I looove the look of it <drool> :) Hope I like it as much IRL too :rolleyes:

[liberty]

I'm back from holiday and have used all four kits whilst I was away. Evn found a scrapbook shop to buy some extra cardstock which I have also used. Just need to finish some journalling and a few photos first - but probably not today as we got back at 11pm last night.

Sue

[AJH]

Well done Sue , hope you had a fab holiday . Didnt get all mine used this month but used 3 so was quite pleased!

xxx

[helsbells]

I have only used one of last month's kits so far. Wasn't too keen on the blue ones irl.

I just love the look of this month's stuff though. I've ordered the extra paper - I can never have enough!

I also think the new design team LOs look better than before - much better ideas.

[AJH]

Yeah have to arrange with you about the Design Team LO's, didnt realise they were from the new DT but wondered why they were 'different'.
I too like the look of the months and have added the extra papers and card too !

XXX

[Moose Friend]

There are atleast three LO's that i might be scraplifting this month! Circles really seem to be in! I also have to admit to sucoming to the extra paper and cardstock! Well, you can never have enough card!

[Diane39]

I have been reading through this thread and it seems an interesting kit, I must be thick but I can not find the web site, could someone please PM me the web site.

Would you recommend this kit?

[hunib]

have pm'd you the details of this great kit

[liberty]

I'm on the waiting list for the card / patterned paper extra. One of the Design Team said she used her Craft Robo to cut the circles. I'm going to investigate that as all I've done so far is cut titles.

Sue

[JerseyScraps]

I'm on the waiting list for the card/paper too Sue!

[vandamk]

I'm on the waiting list for the card / patterned paper extra. One of the Design Team said she used her Craft Robo to cut the circles. I'm going to investigate that as all I've done so far is cut titles.

Sue

That's pretty easy to do Sue, the circle is just a button on the left, towards the bottom. You can rezise, or stretch to make ovals. I made a ton of footballs that way, the base is a white circle, and the top a black circle with holes in it.

I like the look of this month's kit, especially the Sweetwater and KI Memories. Now I have actually moved house, I finally have some time to scrap!

BTW, did anyone else spot a certain UK Mary Anne posting in the recipe card section about opening the pdfs on a Mac? That surely can't be coincidence!:lol:

Karin

[liberty]

I missed Mary Anne's posting. Too much of a coincidence I'd agree.

Thanks for the tip Kain. Now if you want to do a polo shape, do you judge the alignment by eye or is there atechnique I need to learn?

Sue

[vandamk]

Thanks for the tip Kain. Now if you want to do a polo shape, do you judge the alignment by eye or is there atechnique I need to learn?

Sue,

I would use the grid to align them. Have you found the CR forum on here? It's a great resource and lots of knowledgable people about if you need any help.

Karin

[liberty]

I've seen the forum thanks Karin but haven't put enough time aside to start to discover the machine's potential yet.

Sue

[vandamk]

I've seen the forum thanks Karin but haven't put enough time aside to start to discover the machine's potential yet.

Sue

Yes, it can do a lot, but to be honest, cutting titles in any font is sufficient for most things that I want to do.

Anyway, thanks for mentioning circles! I was a bit stuck with a LO that needed a little something, I have now cut a circle (with coluzzle, much quicker than CR if you only need the one!) and it's looking much better!

I agree with everyone else, the new DT looks very good. I really all the circles on that Joy LO.

Karin

[Moose Friend]

I think my fav LO is the Best Buds one.

I'm shocked! I obviously got in quick enough for the card kit - unheard of!

[helsbells]

I'm shocked - just been invoiced for $75! Better hide the Amex bill from my DH!

[Moose Friend]

what did you get?!?!?!?!

[helsbells]

I ordered the kit, embellishment kit, paper add on and the daisy d school kit.

The postage was $22!!!

Better be worth it ;)

Might have to skip next month's to make up for it.

[JerseyScraps]

At least the exchange rate is really good at the minute :lol:

Got my kit today - anyone else got theirs ? I think this is the first month that I have preferred the kit more on screen than for real! I really dont like the Gin X kit at all and dont think I will be using it, love the Go Fish and like the other 2 .... however still think its a very good value kit so not 'really' complaining!

[Anso]

Nothing here yet... But you have given me hope for today! :D Guess who's not going out now..LOL! :lol:

[AJH]

Hope yours gets there today , and everyone elses ! The coffee smells fab by the way... looking forward to that later .

[liberty]

I must put a sign up for the postie now as I have a dental appointment at 12. Thought it was the hygienist but they've just rung to cancel that for tomorrow which means I'm now getting nervous as I'm seeing the dentist today and not tomorrow. IYSWIM.

Sue

[stardust]

I signed up just in time for the 4th. Really looking forward to this kit as previously I was getting a mini book kit and haven't done as much 12x12. I realised when I was doing the holiday bus crop that I had missed it so here I am.

I got an email on either thursday or friday (can't remember which as I was ill and didn't open it till saturday) to say the kits were going out that day so not long to wait now.

[AJH]

Kerry I think they were sent on Thursday, hope you enjoy your kit.

Sue , really good luck today, rather you than me ! Hope your kit is there when you get hometo make up for your 'ordeal'!

Got mine and like all of it.the coffee is yum,just had a cup.

No kit yet, appointment great and I've decided to have some cosmetic treatment done. Fingers crossed for better looking teeth and no pain.

Mine's here too, love the 'Go fish' kit but I don't think I will ever use the Gin X kit, not my cup of tea at all.

[JerseyScraps]

No sign of mine yet either - something to look forward to tomorrow then.

[Anso]

Yep I think now it will be tomorrow for me too...

[Moose Friend]

Got mine!

[hunib]

mines here too!

[Moose Friend]

I wasn't sure about the Gin-x paper, but if you look at the recipe cards the "two of a kind" LO calms it down a bit!

[JerseyScraps]

I smell coffee - yes mine has arrived this morning. Like them all this month even the Gin X although I will use it in small amounts I think :lol:

[Anso]

*drums fingers impatiently on desk...*

[JerseyScraps]

What time does your post normally arrive Anso?

[stardust]

*drums fingers impatiently on desk...*

Not got mine either. Must be because we are further up the country Anso ;)

[Anso]

What time does your post normally arrive Anso?

Post can come anything from about 09:00 until nearly (!!) 14:30!! The last few days it's arrived around two o'clock - madness! Though we actually have had today's post (11:15).

So I'm hoping that it will come with the RM parcel van (it sometimes does) and that can be as late as 15:00 or after. Though I am expecting several parcels (magazines from the US, US order with chipboard alphas, crop-a-dile from the UK...) so I have BIG hope for today LOL!:lol:

*looks out through the window for the 52nd time today* :rolleyes:

Me...impatient? :unsure: Nah...!!:lol:

[Anso]

Not got mine either. Must be because we are further up the country Anso ;)

:lol:

[Anso]

Well... the RM parcel guy just delivered my crop-a-dile :D ...but no kit for me today either... :(

No kit for me either :(

Maybe there is something about us Northerners?!!!
