Looks like just about everything else that's been done. Definitely not wowed.

I love the look of that kit. That red color is gorgeous, and so is Jasmine's lettering. Gold foil! Acrylic words! Pretty die cuts. With gold foil! I'm sold, haha.  |

I really like the 'cup of cheer' card and the vintage sled. Definitely has some cute elements, but I agree that some of it looks a bit repetitive. This could be a contender for me, but I'll wait and see the entire kit. Looking forward to the rest of the sneaks this week!

Sometimes I have a hard time making out what Jasmine's words say. When I first saw the "by the fire" card.. I thought "fire" said "girl".

I got all excited when I first saw the sneak because I thought there was a real coffee mug! Quite like the colours, but am not contemplating buying anything this year since I have so much Christmas stuff left.

Maybe the full kit will improve it? I like the red, but its all so over done. |

But I think about how unwowed I am and then I remember last month when I dropped $40 on a kit just the shade of blue in it. So I apologize if I came off rude. It is a very bold red and I do like that.

@juliehenry4 I love the red as well. I think whats making me not like it is the pink and baby blue.  |

I personally like to do pink and a lighter blue (more Aqua) with the bright red for a more vintage look, but this color combo isn't really doing it for me.

I am so unimpressed...I dislike the very dark part of the colour scheme...is that black and red? Yuck. And I seriously wish designers would remember not everyone lives in the Northern Hemisphere. December is not always wintertime. This kit wouldn't even have worked for me if I still lived in California. I am okay with a few winter themed items, but that entire kit looks to have a central winter/cold/snowflake theme. Utterly useless for me.
I suppose that is fine, maybe I will save some money this year.

I am not doing a DD this year, and if I was going to do one I have a whole cupboard full of Christmas themed elements I liked enough to stockpile. But I do like the red/black combo: different from what I have. And the pink/blue gives a bit of variety. Thinking those cards may work well for Christmas card fronts? Keep sharing the sneaks, nicolep . Love to see new ideas. |

I like it, actually. Well, the red, black, white and gold parts.

I like some of the cards but together it´s just too "all over the place".....

Well, it's kind of generic. Seems like any holiday kit you could pick up anywhere. But it's pretty enough, just no wow factor.
I think perhaps our opinions are skewed based on the fact that we are not your basic scrapper. We have seen it all, done it all, worked with it all for years and years, most of us. I mean, I've been scrapping since 2004. It's pretty hard for the industry to come up with something shiny new after all that time.
But for the new scrapper, or even relatively new scrapper, that kit could be the cat's meow.

I'm most definitely in a cold climate (Indiana) but I would so love a tropical Christmas. I'd put pink flamingoes in my yard with Santa hats! But I love warm no matter what time of year! |

I like it - except the pink. Not sure how that fits in. I really like that red though.

Any guesses on todays contributor?
I was thinking: if Brandy is a contributor, how would that effect the Feed Your Craft kit? Surely they intent to have a christmas kit?

mom, Jasmine yesterday was a given/repeat from last year. I'd hope today is someone new to DD like Geralyn or Marcy. Granted, I would love to see a kit from KP or Peppermint. I love all things OLB. The only thing that would tempt me to buy a mini or two is if they mix well with last year's minis that I have yet to use. The darker red in Jasmine's this year looks like it'd be off next to last year's red, which I loved, so that's a definite no-go.

I think Marcy will be a contributor though her designs are so simplistic they're almost not really a design. A word on a blank piece of paper doesn't really seem too intensive to me. What do I know, I was a design major drop out in college. Where everything had to mean something.  |

So the next designer was announced - it is Pam Garrison.The kit has red, green, blue and yellow.
Its a most definite NO for me.

Pam garrisons kit is DEFINITELY more my style! Wow! My initial reaction was barf. But looking again, I do like some of the cards. Maybe I would buy the digital kit? But not a whole kit. Ive narrowed it down: what I hate is: the streamer paper, the multicolor diamond paper and the white background star paper. |

great for the southern hemisphere This was my first thought too. Nice to see some summery colours, though this Christmas I'll actually be in the northern hemisphere in Europe and excited about using some more traditional stuff  |

I also thought some of the cards are more generic and could be used at other times of year - like the stars and the triangle patterns, the banners etc.

She lives in southern California, so this might be great for the places that don't have the wintery Christmas feel. I think it looked cute. Makes me want to head to Hawaii for Christmas.

Pam's kit is not my style AT ALL. I'm relieved! haha. I was afraid I'd love them all.
