I don't think anyone has mentioned this line by Kaisercraft? www.acherryontop.com/shop/company/kaisercraft/line/silver_bellsI got this collection the other day and it is the prettiest I have seen for a long time. The pictures really do not do it justice as there is a lot of embossed shiny and glittery areas that don't show up in photos. That is pretty! Loving the silver this year. I might pick up a few bits of this. I just ordered some Sleigh Ride by Bo Bunny. I'm liking the blue + brown combination for some reason this year. I find wood papers so easy to use in my pages, even though it's not the first thing I gravitate towards when I'm looking through the collections. I will also order some Pinkfresh Christmas Wishes if I can find it anywhere. So far I haven't seen it for pre-sale anywhere but here: Mei Li Paperie . Anyone have any experience with this retailer they want to share?

I do like that BoBunny carolynhasacat ! I think I might have to find that over here. I am tending to veer away from the traditional greens and reds at the moment although I still love Graphic 45s 12 Days of Christmas from last year. I hope to make a mini book with that soon.

I like the shimelle line for the colors and imagery. I'm trying to really pick what works for me versus what looks really good. I am drawn to the vintage looks, but it doesn't look natural with my pictures. Good think I've got time to think about what I want to go with.

I'm not a fan of the embellishments for the Shimelle line (especially the pipe cleaner bows...those just look kinda chintzy) and I'm just "meh" about the rest of the collection.
I like that Bo Bunny one, though! Not as much as I liked their Candy Cane Lane last year but Sleigh Ride is nice.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I'm such a sucker for Christmas anything. I actually woke up this morning trying to figure out when Target is going to start putting out Christmas stuff, and Pottery Barn already sent me a Christmas décor preview catalog.
Christmas needs to come a few times a year just so I can use up all of my scrappy supplies. I got the AE DD kit, along with the KP mini, and I'm pretty sure OA and EP are going to be coming to my house to play too.

scrappyesq how does the pottery barn catalogue look! i usually love the christmas books! i love the garland die in shimelle's line and i can picture using it to make a felt garland for my tree this year. along with what i bought from ali (jasmine jones mini and stamp) i have bought some october afternoon bits and pieces as well as some claus & co. bits and pieces. still hoping to get my hands on that claus & co album too. i will probably buy a few more bits from shimelle's line as well and that is it (unless, of course, i cannot resist the gossamer blue dd kit); currently my christmas stash (including embellishments stored in those lovely target dollar spot divided boxes) fits into one iris case and i kind of want to keep it that way.

I don't think I"ll be able to resist the OA Christmas line much longer. I think that along with the Jasmine Jones stamps I ordered from AE will make gorgeous cards.

carolynhasacat I also loved the Pinkfresh Christmas Wishes line, so I had to pre-order it from Mei Li Paperie. I ordered from them once before, and it was a good experience. The pre-order shipping was free (important because it's coming from overseas), and the shipping was fast with tracking from Hong Kong. When they saw that I was a repeat customer, they emailed me to thank me for supporting their business. So far, it seems like an excellent company.

After all, they are Australian.

I find their lines to be derivative and uninspired for the most part. Which is too bad because the LSS I go to carries everything they make.

The only summer Christmas lines I have ever seen have been really kitschy - I don't need Santa riding surfboards, I just need summery colours and patterns - and no snowflakes/snowmen.

The terrible Santa at the beach, ugh! The best holiday line I found for southern hemisphere was Glitz Designs Hello December...it was Christmasy and even pretty traditional colours, but no snow etc. i had an outdoorsy feel, but it didn't say winter to me. I wish i had bought it, but of course I never did and I kick myself everytime I think about it.

I need the pinkfresh stuff. I just absolutely adore it.
I don't like pre-ordering though. I'll have to go look for it again.
And I feel bad for you guys who have to deal with nothing for your seasons. That's yucky. Australia is a huge country and continent. Surely someone will listen!

I have ordered from Pretty Little Studio a few times. I love the retro feel! I also think their prices are good and the shipping is reasonable.

I'm loving fancy pants Christmas line. Elle's studio would be my favorite but it looks too much like last year. I'm not feeling pink fresh lately..,
