new plastics in the house.

I am too tired to try to comprehend how on earth this happened. Within hours of blogging about the delays and how it would be next Friday before we see the plastics arrive, they start showing up on Amazon tonight! I completely do not understand what is going on this week but I am sooooo happy – as I am sure many of you are – to have these hot items available now!

This just in: Amazon has just received truckloads FULL of our newest plastics! If you are outside the U.S., please be sure to check with your local distributor (listed by country/region HERE) – because they either already have these items in stock, or will be shipping very soon.

As you browse through this blog post, simply click on the product name wherever it’s listed and that will link you directly to that specific listing on Amazon. All links are also being updated on our Products page right now.

Our Big Envelope Pages were already in stock but the Tall Envelope Pages + Small Envelope Pages are brand new – and will make the perfect little home to store memorabilia in your scrapbooks. The flap tucks flat + neat – so no bulk from a snap. All 3 sizes have a clear pocket on the front to label contents – Big holds a 4×6 card; Tall + Small hold a 3×4 card. Yep – we think of the little things.

Finally – FINALLY – You have a place to put those portraits, certificates, documents, works of art, and other important items – without having to create a whole scrapbook page around them. These are our new Page Protectors (same awesome quality of our Photo Pocket Pages – but no divided pockets).

Page Protectors – Small Variety Pack 2

Instagram has us all taking square pictures these days, but let’s not forget old Polaroids and other square format pictures from years past. You’ll love these smaller sized pages that are perfect for adding a few extra pictures between layouts.

Photo Pocket Pages – Small Variety Pack 1

{ bummer }

Yes – Unfortunately all of the Design G Photo Pocket Pages in these Variety Packs were found to be … not perfect. They still “work” and they’re still totally functional. But the pocket sizes are slightly incorrect (in the whole batch – *sigh*) which means that our 3×4 and 4×6 cards aren’t a PERFECT fit in the pockets.

{ good news }

On the bright side, we have automatically discounted this Small Variety Pack 1 on Amazon. The pack of 12 has been reduced $2.00 – so it’s $4.99 instead of $6.99 because of the 3 “defective” pages that are in the package. This would absolutely be a FANTASTIC time to pick up the sampling of new Photo Pocket Pages. And besides – Design G (in perfect condition) – is available in its own pack of 12, if you are sad to miss out of those in the Variety Pack.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience (trust me) and yes – new packs are being produced now (with the correction) and I’ll keep you updated when I have an estimated arrival date.

…..

It’s amazing how some plastic pages can make some of us very, very giddy. I know without a doubt that so many of those feelings come from a place of relief knowing that there are all these excellent products that help us get our memory-keeping done without all the fuss, without all the time, without the overwhelming feeling that scrapbooks have to be utterly time-consuming to put together.

We are happy to deliver solution-based products, and I sincerely hope you enjoy your new goodies.

If you have questions about any of these products please remember that the Amazon listing shows several pictures per item – and also has a list of product features that will likely answer your questions. However, feel free to leave a question in the Comments if you’re still unsure about something. I’ll do my very best to respond.

  9. shannon says:

  10. Juli says:

    What a wonderful thing to wake up to this Friday morning!!!!! Checking FB and your blog was on the top of my list this morning because I had a feeling that just maybe the pages would be available since the core kits became available last night!!!!
    Thank you for all the updating you have been doing throughout the past few days…it’s greatly appreciated!!!!!
    This is such a fabulous system for preserving our family memories!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Debbi G. says:

    Wow! Happy Friday!

  12. Mendi M says:

    SO EXCITED!! I just placed my order and will be stalking Amazon until it gets here! I just want to give you a huge shout out…I’ve been trying to scrapbook for years and never really accomplished anything. I’ve kept up with PL all year and I LOVE IT!! Thanks, Becky and family!

  13. rosa m. neno says:

    so excited! Put my order in this am at Amazon, at 5:45 am, when I checked my twitter account before leaving for work! so glad I did! thanks Becky! you made my day! God Bless!

  14. Steph in Canada says:

    Woo – hoo! I just checked your blog and found they had arrived! Just went to Amazon and ordered – yippee. Can’t wait.

    I agree with the other poster – thank you so much for communicating so clearly with us! Love that.

    Also, I love, love, love that your products link from here directly to Amazon. Though I love Amazon dearly, I find it so much easier to be here on your site and knowing exactly what it is that I really want, that it links over and it really is what I want to order instead of second guessing myself over at Amazon. Not sure if this is a new thing, but I don’t seem to remember that being the case last time I ordered. So that is awesome – please keep it like that!

    Have a great day!

    • Steph in Canada says:

      Just had to follow up about my order. Only good things by the way!

      Fortunately, I live in a border city and use a US shipping service to receive packages as my fellow Canadians will agree, usually we can wait around 2 weeks for deliveries that originate from the US.

      Anyhow, I ordered on the 27th and received an email that they had been received first thing in the morning on July 31st (and 2 of the days in between were a weekend). Awesome! That is seriously fantastic customer service and just had to come back here and say that! :)

  15. Susan C says:

    A Thursday Miracle is right! Thank you again Becky, can’t get enough of your amazing products. It’s a shame Amazon can’t communicate with you a little better but we’ll take the product showing up sooner than anticipated anytime.
    Relax a bit, you have done it again girl.

  16. Heather Seibel says:

    I am just waiting on the 8 1/2 x 11 vertical and then I can order! I was so bummed yesterday as I am ob vacation next week and there is no interenet, thought I was going to miss out on them. I am soooo happy now, just need my last set and then I am checking out!

  17. Dawn Simmons says:

    Hi Becky, love the new designs and am really excited about the Instagram plastics!

    I am wondering if you are going to replace the defective G designs for those of us who have the bad ones? I have two packages and never thought they were quite right, though I love the design, they were a pain to deal with! I’m hoping I can get the new ones to replace the defective ones!
    Thanks for all the wonderful products!

  18. Donna says:

    Whewww order is placed and what a process, Love Love Love your customer service, updates and most of all your PRODUCTS, just wish Amazon had an easier process for ordering or maybe I am doing something wrong wish it was a click and order sort of thing not this going back and forth between pages to get products, I know I missed something but will catch it I am sure on the next order. Thanks again for all you do for all of us …Donna

  19. terri says:

    What a happy way to wake up and see the plastics in stock at Amazon! This Friday got a whole lot better. Thanks Becky and Team!!

  20. Connie says:

    Thanks Becky, Ordered a bunch of the new plastics. I am so excited about getting them. I am working on school albums and so happy to have the 81/2×11 horizontal and the 8×10′s and 5×7′s…Thanks for all your hard work..Hope you got a little sleep last night!

  21. Francisca says:

    I’m so happy, not only for having the new products available, but also for you and your successful business. You are another example that with hard work you can move mountains. Keep up the excellent work, and thanks for bringing us such amazing products. Bless you and your family!

  22. Val says:

    Okay, I went to order and now you can no longer get free shipping with Amazon Prime for your lower priced items. Bummer. I won’t be ordering. I removed the plastic from my cart.

    • Christine says:

      I ran into the same problem canceled my order and then re-ordered with enough items to reach $25.00. I added a DVD that I had been wanting to reach the 25. This was the first time that I had run into this problem as a Prime member. HTH.

      • Stacey M. says:

        This happened to me too when I tried to change the quantity of a couple things. I just cancelled and started over to reach the $25 and then it worked fine. But I don’t have Prime, I was just trying to get the super saver shipping.

        • Val says:

          I’m just disappointed because one of the main reasons I went to Prime (which by the way is not free – it’s $79 a year) was so I didn’t have to always come up with $25.00 orders. I figure that the $79 I pay subsidizes the shipping. Right? Unfortunately, now to me it just promotes overspending and I refuse to do this.

  23. Karen W says:

    I’m happy for you, but especially happy for me! Just placed my order. Thanks for the great designs.

  24. michelle says:

    excited to receive!
    i cannot believe the 6×6 pocket has sold out already! :( but can’t wait for the rest!

  25. Sue Thornton says:

    I am doing the digital version this year and don’t even need these kits and plastics. But I am just smiling from ear to ear knowing how happy everyone is to see these things showing up. Trust me – I live the obsession. Becky you are amazing. If only all businesses were run with your care. Thanks for all you do.

  26. Jeanal Julian says:

    So glad things are coming back in stock. I can’t wait for the childhood kits. I was wondering if you thought about having a varity pack of the envelopes?

  27. audra says:

    So excited for all of these. I’d love to know if I were to purchase various sizes will the holes all match up to fit in a 12X12 binder? Looking to have the various sizes together, hope this makes sense! Thanks!

  28. Sharon Holesh says:

    Waiting for the childhood kits. Hopefully coming soon? My youngest is going to college in the fall- looking forward to organizing their things to reduce clutter in my house!

  29. Anita says:

    Hi Becky,

    Have you noticed that ordering at Scrapbooker’s innercircle Europe is not interested for the European market, because the price difference is too high?

    When I make an order with a binder-core kit-2 sets pockets-dividers:
    I have to pay at Scrapbooker’s innercircle Europe GPB 88,16 (= Euro 112,65) when I make the exactly same order at Amazon.com the price is $ 83,95 (= Euro 68,15).
    Almost double the price!!!

    The shipping costs Scrapbooker’s innercircle Europe GPB 22,20, Amazon.com $ 3,99 or $ 6,99.

    Even I have to pay VAT and customs clearance it’s cheaper to order at Amazon. The GPB is too expensive for the European market.

    • Stine says:

      Tanks for sharring i have been thinking the same and I too Think that the shipping Price i crazy exspensive, a bit shame A’s i Think the Project life is pure genius.

      I’m from Denmark by the Way, and its normal that shipping from uk to Denmark is exspensive, and i dont like that i have a choice in from where i wanna order.
      I have a order i’m waiting for but Will Think twice in order again.

  30. Karen says:

    All the items I need are already out of stock .. 6×12 envelopes, 6×6 envelopes, 5×7 vertical and Design H and I. Sad face here in Cali. Am I correct that Amazon is stocking by batches so I should keep checking? It would be nice to order all items at once to avoid shipping charges but I guess it’s best to snatch them up one at a time and not wait for the other items. Crazy stress you must have been going through and then out of nowhere your products! Love everything about PL. Thank you!

  31. Krista says:

    as a customer, it’s sad to see how fast these items sell out! i made my order and got what i wanted, but i’m thinking i should have ordered more 6×6 envelopes. i think i’m really going to use these a lot, but who knows how long i’ll have to wait to get more… oh well.

    quick question: are the digi kits on jessica sprague updated??? i’ve been waiting to order them, bit from the photos on the website, they don’t look like the updated versions. can you please confirm if they are the updated version (with the horizontal & vertical options…) or not? thanks!

  32. Susie says:

    Oh how I miss the days when Becky’s Blog was more than “Project Life” talk…

  33. Emma says:

    I know it’s incredibly difficult to gauge interest and stock appropriately, but I’m disappointed and frustrated that the protectors I wanted and waited for since their announcement sold out in about 24 hours. The only 24 hours this month that I was out of the reach of the internet.

    Like another poster, I also wonder why these products no longer qualify under Prime.

    I think that, for me, it’s time to step back from the PL machine and go back to my unenlightened ways. It’s too frustrating to wait and hope and expect these products to come available and then almost immediately get disappointed.

  34. Tenika says:

    is there a way to find out the exact exact measurements for each pocket on the different pages? That way I can print them for the size for each one?

  35. Kathy L says:

    Bummed that the tall and small envelopes are out of stock already. Any idea on when more inventory will be added?

  36. Annie says:

    I have Amazon prime and I ordered a handful of separate shipments and none of them were total of $25 or more. All of my items shipped for free with Prime.

  37. Kim says:

    I have to give you credit for your genius ability to hone in and nearly transform an industry. I love Project Life and know will be using it for years to come.

  38. Jacque says:

    Just wanted to let you know that the small envelope pages are available on Amazon. I have ordered some in the past hour or so.

  39. jacque says:

    the tall envelope pages are also available on Amazon again.

  40. Christine says:

    My plastics arrived yesterday. Thanks so much Team Higgins!

  41. Crystal says:

    My plastics started arriving yesterday. I love for the brown truck to stop in front of my house! Great products. Thanks again Becky!!

  42. Susan says:

    Just saw your little cartoon advertising Project Life – so darn cute!!!

  43. Serene says:

    My plastics arrived today. YAY!!!

    But I just noticed my tall envelopes do not have the 3 holes punched through them. Not a problem as I can punch them myself. Just thought you should know they are not as represented above.

    I’m a happy girl since the arrival of my plastics and to make things better, my cherry core kit is expected to arrive tomorrow. Whoo hoo!

  44. Donna says:

    Hey Becky and David, you know I am reading alot of negative stuff on some of these comments, I know you and your team are doing all you can to provide product and information to keep us in the loop on availability. For those of you who are not happy with items being sold out, look at Becky’s blog, THERE IS MORE COMING SOON. I agree with the commentor above you have TRANSFORMED this industry and made scrapbooking more doable and streamlined. Becky will always love your product and style thanks again for all you do…Donna

  45. Nicole says:

    Becky,

    I just wanted to let you know, not to complain, but just to inform you, because I know how very important your products are to you. The page protectors keep coming with fingerprints and they’re not only not able to be wiped off, they’re scratched into the plastic. It’s as if their gloves are rough to make it easier to grasp the plastics, but, they’re being scratched in the process. It’s not a matter of me wanting to exchange them or anything because they’re just all that way, I just wanted to let you know.

    As always, I love everything you do and what you stand for <3

  46. Colleen says:

    I just received by plastics, I ordered 6 styles and also the envelopes. I love them. I had some 5×7 and 8 x10 photos just waiting to go into my album. I am waiting for the core kits to be restocked and also the 3×4 cards. I truly hope enough of the 3 x4 cards will be available to go around. It is a staple to PL. Becky, I am so happy that the product is being made in USA. More companies should be following your example.

  47. Donna says:

    Hey Becky, got my order last week and love love love everything especially the trays, I was pleasantly supprised that they came in a box too made them even better, I put all my extra stuff from past years PL kits in them and now its all nice and tidy so when I back track a little everything I need is right there in the trays. Eagerly awaiting the binders to be back in stock and the new kits…. Thanks again….Donna

  48. I ordered some of the new plastics and am in love with them… Can’t wait until the Cherry and Cobalt kits are back in stock!

  49. Claudia Mitchell says:

    I love Becky Higgins’ products. I started scrapbooking about 15 years ago and after 4 kids, I am slowly getting behind and love this concept to be able to keep up with all the pictures.

  50. Jamie says:

    Thank you so much! I’m loving my new plastics, but am now also wishing for more sizes. In particular, a half sheet, 8.5×5.5 both vertical and horizontal would be nice. :D I’ve found a lot of half sheets from my son’s school that just don’t fit in the 5×7.

  51. Melissa says:

    Becky, are you going to be creating/stocking cardstock for the Cherry Edition? I have gone back and tried to locate any information in your blog posts and seem to be missing it. I love the color and patterns in the Core Kit and would love coordinating cardstock! Thanks!
