Love the faded rose collection and am also nervous about cutting into them Lol. I think Anna still tries to give us our money's worth. With everything going up in price, I am sure she has had to keep somethings out in order for the prices not to be raised out of enjoying our love of crafting. I have been blessed to be able to participate in create and crop at home for the past 4 years.
I think the event box is totally worth it, I wish it was all inclusive so it wasn't an extra step to have to buy or orchestrate a work around. For me it's the time not the cost. Usually it takes a couple weeks to get an order from Anna's website. It will be down to the wire to get the protectors before the event. Fingers crossed!! Lol happy crafting!
@@funtimecrafts2472 I looked for the protectors and couldn't find them on Anna's site. Neither could I find the stock up sale. When I follow the links from swapcard, I just land on Anna's page with a 15% off sign floating on the page.
FYI, love you and how you make your creations so inspirational. Just to clear up a few things. The membership 10% discount has never been off of sale items, just regular price. I am an original member , from the inception after create 5. Free shipping was great while it lasted, however I never spend under $50 dollars anyway, so hasn’t impacted me too much. The CAH4 $350 after event price, has never been offered since create9, if you were able to get 10% off that you were lucky, especially with the website crash. The cost of everything is getting so expensive, I hope we, or I in retirement are not priced out of my hobby 🥰👏🏾👏🏾
And truer words were never spoken than these regarding the mess during the post-Create 9 sale. Anna clearly announced that AG members would get the 10% off the sale price in addition to the reduced post-create 9 price. As a long standing AG Finishing School member, I had the unfortunate experience of only getting the reduced price of $395 not $355.51 despite the purchase going thru before the website crashed. The true retail price was $495! I tried over and over to change my charge to the member pricing of $351.51 especially because I pay 10.2% sales tax so I lost over $75 in my purchase. No one at AG ever responded to my many emails or phone calls. Worse yet, AG then chose to not list any orders on our accounts for November, 2023, then reboot all the previous account orders without sales tax as had always been the case. The website reboot is still showing this. Beware.
So excited for this! After a hilarious attempt by me to try to craft live during the classes during one of the Create events, I think I will just watch and participate in chat during the live classes and then create the actual layouts afterwards to avoid mistakes and go at my own pace! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Tammy, I ordered my stock up goodies today, so excited! I did buy the interactive pages, I wish they would’ve included sentiment dies instead of the stickers, and also the hard cardboard that we got before, so you can turn it into a storage box after we use everything in Crop At Home 4. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I'll know more when my box arrives on Wednesday, but check your stash for the Feathers cardstock that came out in 2019. A couple of the feathers designs from this box and/or the "B" sides that you're showing that are all over medium size feathers are VERY similar. Keep that in mind in case you make a mistake. Many are in the same tones and might work in a pinch, especially if you're cutting them up into way smaller chunks. The floral at 12:59 looks almost identical to the one I got from my stash. Even if it is the same print, that doesn't make it any less beautiful.
Wow the faed Rose is gorgeous and the Phoebe! They're all gorgeous 🥰 so I was watching AGTV today. Anna gave away 4 - CAH 4 Tickets, 1 every 15 mins to people who have never attended any of her live events. I was the 2nd winner 🤯🥳 I'm so grateful and excited to scrap, parents just had their 60th Anniversary. I want to scrap pictures from the wedding & pictures thru the years.
Oh that is wonderful!!! So happy for you 💓 you are going to have so much fun!!! That will be such a beautiful tribute to your parents, such a lovely gift you will be able to create!
I absolutely love your videos! My hint for pre-cutting the metallic is to lay the whole sheet down and cut all the different 12 x 12 dies at one time that way you don’t waste as much paper
My box is arriving today and I am hanging out at home until it comes :-) my plan is to cut out of and use different Anna Griffin papers and then after I make the first set, I’ll go in and cut the real paper. I just don’t want to make a mistake, and then sometimes people like you make the page better , using different paper, etc. I can’t wait to see what you make!
Very excited for CAH4!!! Still waiting on my box. Someone who live 30min form me said here was was coming Monday. I am going to call AG. Thank you for sharing your box!!
Great video! I haven’t gotten my box yet, but have watched all the prep videos and printed out the instructions. I shopped the sale link that was sent out today just to get a little extra foil card stock and the paper tricks folders. I go through the foil card stock so fast for all my craft projects! I love the videos! Getting so very excited! It is going to be so hard to cut some of the papers, they are just so beautiful!
Oh my yes, the pages are so pretty. I can't wait to dive in! I ordered quite a few things, including the Happy scrapbook that was on sale, in case I make my pages too thick! Lol can't wait
Hi love all your videos ! I think I am going to try the create in November. I really want the experience. It is expensive but I think it can also be addicting! lol I bought create two . Last year and I love the papers are beautiful! I kind of make the best I could cause the directions are to expensive. I have notice she is giving less in her boxes . And less dies .
I kept going back and forth on whether or not to get this crop since I don't make scrapbook, and I finally gave in last night. Watching your video now, I am SO GLAD I did. You have made me so excited!!
thank you, thank you! I was so impressed with your presentation of the papers, I went ahh and ohhhh so many times that I forgot that I'd have to explain what and why. My wonderful honey came in from his home office, and when he understood the what and why and saw how gorgeous everything was told me it would be okay! If I hadn't found your video and exclaimed at your presentation of the papers, I wouldn't have gotten to go to my first Crop at home.
Yes mine was 355 as well at end of create 9 I order another probe by mistake so now I have 2 I’m not returning but I will be careful next time the stock up sale is Awsome I ordered the protector for interactive looking forward to it
What is your name? I agree with you re/amount of text paper and cardstock. NOT ENOUGH! NOT HAPPY ABOUT MEMBERSHIP CHANGES EITHER. Would love to meet you! 😊 I'm Joni from Chattanooga. See you there. This is my first event! ❤😊❤
Bummer, Anna must have had a drop in purchases as she is going cheaper in several things. I hope she doesn't start doing that with everything. I love the patterns in this kit.
Great video! I’m watching everyone’s videos as I patiently wait for my box 😂. I’m not an AG member but I do remember you all getting an additional 10% off the sale price of the kits (even at the end of ex. Create and CAH3 last year) and I thought well that savings just about pays for the membership! I’m considering the membership for this year but the only thing that would benefit me is the finishing school. Still trying to decide. I do need to buy those page protectors. I wish they were in the box already. At least enough to complete 1 page.
Oh gosh I bought the Trellis album with materials from HSN but now I'm worried I'll cut that teal paper wrong. Can you make a video showing a similar way to cut or use the paper or is it that special way Anna cuts 4 - 5x7 from a 12x12 sheet ?
I thought the sale items were the members price. What do I key in to get the extra 10 percent? Thanks for sharing all your advice. Pat in North Carolina
A beginner can make this album, however, not within the time constraints of the class. It is quite fast-paced. This year, with the added intricacies of the interactive pages, I would highly recommend watching and participating in the chat; having fun that way, then at your own pace, complete the album after the event. You have access to all the classes for up to a year, I believe.
Sorry I have to correct you…I’ve been a member since the beginning of FS and you only ever got the 10% off on regular priced items. Never sale items. And you never got it on any of the Crop at Home or Create events. This year, after Create, Anna offered CAH4 with the 10% off.
Hum, I must have had a glitch with my membership, cause I was able to get 10% off everything. I hardly ever ordered anything on HSN because I liked the way she packaged everything better. The 10% made it worth it.
Not giving us all the pieces necessary to finish the interactive pages, and creating the page protectors as an up charge, is just tacky. I mean, it’s a $400.00 purchase!
I thoroughly enjoyed your unboxing, Tammy! I really appreciate all your miscellaneous tips, like stock up on matte gold foil and measure 3 times before cutting, especially those gorgeous faded rose papers. Thank you for your very inspirational video! 💕

You have me so excited I can hardly wait now. My box is not here yet I bought on HSN so I hope it gets here in time.
Right on, you should get it soon. It's going to be super fun!
close to my heart had the pages back in the day I have left overs and you can make your own with the fuse tool
I absolutely love your videos! My hint for pre-cutting the metallic is to lay the whole sheet down and cut all the different 12 x 12 dies at one time that way you don’t waste as much paper
Thanks! That is a great tip, would probably be able to get an extra border that way!

Good advice! 👍

Yay, it will be there soon!! So exciting!!!
Great unboxing and truly appreciated all your observations and comments. Like you, I am so excited for the event. Hope to see you in the chat.
It's going to be so fun! Will catch you there!!

I’m gonna use my cricut for some of the cuts. And I wish she did dies as well for the words the are gorgeous ❤❤❤❤ Tyfs
Good idea!

This is my first
event! ❤😊❤
I haven't gotten the stock up sale link, yet. My box is on the way. I didn't order until Sunday.
Bummer, Anna must have had a drop in purchases as she is going cheaper in several things. I hope she doesn't start doing that with everything. I love the patterns in this kit.
I think the event is still worth it. The quality is really nice.
Have a wonderful time at CAH4, Tammy!
Thanks so much 💓

Right on! It will be here before you know it! The finishing school classes are great if you have time to watch. You learn a lot.
I got both my boxes went on stock up and ordered this time fast shipping sent out on the 12th so like 5 days
Wow super quick!!
Unfortunately couldn’t afford to go. So bummed. I know it’s going to be a blast so everyone have fun! Hopefully next time.🙏🏻
Yes, Hopefully next time!!!

Does Anna usually release these papers after the event? I haven’t received my kit yet put the Phoebe collection is just gorgeous.

She said in her live today that attendees will get a special,price on the next event.
Oh that is terrific, I hope we do!!
Me too! I bought early and paid way more. Never again!
Can you also use all these dies for card making?
Is this event something a beginner could successfully do? I find it all intimidating with all the prep I’m hearing about.
A beginner can make this album, however, not within the time constraints of the class. It is quite fast-paced. This year, with the added intricacies of the interactive pages, I would highly recommend watching and participating in the chat; having fun that way, then at your own pace, complete the album after the event.

@@funtimecrafts2472 Good for you!❤️
how do you get t o see all this before class?
It's in the prep videos
Not giving us all the pieces necessary to finish the interactive pages, and creating the page protectors as an up charge, is just tacky. I mean, it’s a $400.00 purchase!
how abot that beautiful blue from last year.
True, that was beautiful paper too!!! Lol they're all my favorite!!
Are the interactive page protectors available to everyone?
No you have to have a link to the sale from Anna Griffin
I thoroughly enjoyed your unboxing, Tammy! I really appreciate all your miscellaneous tips, like stock up on matte gold foil and measure 3 times before cutting, especially those gorgeous faded rose papers. Thank you for your very inspirational video! 💕
TFW and hanging out!! Happy crafting 😊 💓
