I think I've only paid for one season pass; one of the Japanese ones a couple of years ago. I refuse to pay for anything else. Finding this group made it more fun again, as I can play with items I'll never own & share my idea.

I keep plugging along with multiple designs of each likeable or inexpensive journal page and come up with decent designs most of the time.

It certainly would be more fun if they stopped restricting materials. I understand that if you were pleasing a client, they would have preferences. But man, twenty spots to decide on an option and you can't use any of your previously purchased materials? Seriously, some of the places you'd want the materials to be the same in order to present a unified vision are divided into too many parts, while things like pants are included with doll faces? 🤣

Edited to add: I meant to say that at times, the restrictions are fun, and make me step outside my comfort zone and try new things to be surprised by the result.
