I got some of AE's old DD kits on sale last year so I'm all set for this year!

The only thing I'd really love is a nice 6x8 album. I haven't been doing PL for 2016, so I need a standalone album for DD and missed out on Jasmine's Merry album twice. The Simple Stories 6x8 for Christmas this year looks really nice and they always make quality albums.

Thanks cbscrapper. I had stocked up on SC page protectors last year so I need an album that has a matching hole system to use up my stash. I'm too lazy to repunch holes and too cheap to not use them. LOL

LOL If you have the SC 6-hole protectors they fit in the Simple Stories and Becky Higgins PL 6x8 binders.

But, I think the ones I have are the 4-hole protectors. Good to know since I have two of the old 3 ring SC handbooks and not enough page protectors for them. Glad to know I can grab those at a big box store. Thanks so much! SaveSave

Like so many others, I'm a sucker for Christmas supplies so my stash is ginormous. I've never bought a kit from Ali or any of the others, and I'm sure that won't change this year. Hopefully I can contain myself and refrain from buying too much.
I have two complete December Daily's and my girls and I love looking at them. Hopefully I'll put together a kit with some of my newly acquired October Afternoon goodies and some other products that will coordinate. With our lives forever changing, it's nice to look back and see what is the same and what is new and different. I've also started a 12x12 album for my sister, one for myself and 6x8 albums for my three kids and her three kids that will cover as many years as I can come up with. I love those albums, but it's slow going. I just add to them when the Christmas mood hits.
It's very motivating to follow threads here, YouTube videos, etc to keep me going!

First designer is Jasmine Jones. The sneaks look cute. I'll probably pick up her add on.

Looks adorable but SUPER bummed out at the red color. It's so dark and blah. I really hope some of the other designers use a more cheerful cherry red.

It was the first thing that caught my eye. I'm sure the other designers will use other color tones and colors. Hope there will be something for everyone.

I'm liking this shade of red too. It looks very nice paired with the simple black, white and gold foil. Minimalism with a splash of fantasy, well done. However, I'm at a loss about the sudden appearance of those bright pastel shades in a couple of the pics: sky blue and girly pink. Will her kit be double-sided for two very different colour schemes? I wouldn't be surprised. MME's two Christmas lines are also navigating between those two polar opposite palettes: black + red + green vs light pastel. Very odd but it will allow Jasmine's kit to appeal to a large audience if that's the case! Anyone know whether the pricing will go up compared to last year?

I have tried and failed DD three years now.
I am going to wait and see if Wilna Furstenberg has anything this year. Her album last year was GORGEOUS. And it wasn't daily, to me that's doable.

Daily doesn't work for me either. Either I forget to take photos, there's absolutely nothing worth scrapping from the day, or weekends are so packed with activity that I've easily got 3+ spreads for Saturday or Sunday. This year I'm doing a 25 or 31 things with a holiday theme instead. I'm thinking this works better with pre-planned pages since I can put photos where they match vs trying to make them work with a particular day or page configuration. I've taken both of Ali's 31 Things classes, so I'm going to use her prompts as inspiration.

icequeen Exactly! Me too with the pictures and activities. And that's a great idea of lists! I think Felicity Jane posted a list of 31 holiday things last year. Maybe I can try that. Thanks!

The third DD designer is up and for me, I'm 0 for 3. Each kit has a couple of things that I thought were cute. But so far, there's not enough in any of them to tempt me.

I like the acetates and acrylic in the 1st kit, the chipboard in the 2nd kit and the wood trees in the 3rd. I wish they would sell each item separately so we could build our kits that way.

So far I like Jasmine's kit the best.

Was I the only person who was annoyed that JJ's kit reveal showed a card saying T'was instead of 'Twas? That really irked me! Fancy handwriting doesn't make up for bad grammar or spelling. I wish she had typed the words "twas apostrophe" into google like I just did to check that I was using my apostrophe correctly.
Eh, shrug. Not that I'm shopping for anything anyway. I still have digital files from Geralyn Sy that I got last Xmas and leftover Shimelle and I use a hobonichi to do JYC and don't need any of it at all!

I had noticed and thought I was wrong with how I spell it.

Not the first time we've seen spelling/grammar mistakes from SC - but I agree it doesn't take much effort to proofread and check!

Last year I went a little bit crazy and was caught up in the hype. I bought the DD main kit along with 2 or 3 (I need to go check) of the mini kits. Then I ended up not even completing a December Daily album but did document December (using supplies from those kits) as part of my regular 12x12 projects life album. This year I may try to do an album for DD or I may keep it as part of my project life. I definitely will not be buying any supplies either way. I have enough to last a few years .

I just went and looked at wilna's, I didn't remember seeing it last year. So beautiful!! It's getting me in the mood to do one this year. I took last year off after having done the last 5 or so years. But hers is really inspiring me, I think white pages with pops of color would be fun and easy.

wasn't daily, to me that's doable. Daily doesn't work for me either. Daily doesn't work for me at all. For the past two years, I've done my own modified DD. I start on Thanksgiving with a family photo. Then my album consists of anything I want to put into it from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day of the next year. It's generally the Thanksgiving pic, cookie making/decorating, any school winter concerts, the stockings, pics of the decorated tree, a pic of snow if it snows, cookies and milk out for Santa, Christmas morning, New Year's eve, and New Year's day. Totally gives me every bit of wiggle room I need to make this project work for me. And no pressure to have every day be special or scrapbook-worthy.

She is having a 20% off sale right now if you wanted to buy a class or some of the printables. I think the code is "summer-end" and it ends Aug 31st.
