This year Festivus might need to be an entire week to cover all the grievances! Well maybe we should do a Festivus daily ... *snort* 😁 |

No but a beer vacation sounds amazing right now, ha! Off to go look at it... legal_lady I feel like that looks easily replicable if they end up being an arm and a leg (probably). Except my stitching is no where near that straight, even & perfect. stitching with that gold thread is a bear. I used some on paper last year and it was a pain. |

Not one bit Christmas related, but I just have to say that this dog looks almost exactly like the puppy we'll be bringing home in September  Carry on...  |

Going to try and use what I already have, including an album I bought last year. Will see how long that resolve lasts  It's the thought that counts...  I'm back and this is the welcome I get.
Love you guys so much. Your sass always makes me laugh so hard.
I really only do December Daily so I don't pop in off season as much as I should.
Here we go!
I need to see the inside of that Crate Paper Hey Santa sticker book. I need the elves and a black swan but I'm going to use my stash too (ha ha, yeah right).

Also, going to need big numbers cause we probably won't be leaving the house this year.
People, I NEEDED these sneaks. As soon as I saw that big 2 in Ali's post I said out loud, "Oh thank god."
Does anyone have any images of the other pages of the Crate Paper Hey Santa sticker book. I so don't need a sticker, not a single one.

I posted some Hey Santa content photos in the Christmas collections thread but I don't think I've come across the sticker book sheets yet. Will tag you when I do. In the meantime, Hey Santa's ephemera pack includes:  Here's the first (partial) haul video for this line: |

Thanks so much! You are really good!
It doesn't have the elves so I'm not buying it. I LOVE the elves and the black swan.
I really appreciate your sleuthing.

The elves appear both on the regular sticker sheet:   The price of the sticker book is around $7 so you could buy the 6x12 cardstock stickers at $5 and ask if someone buying more of the collection would be willing to part with the black swan from the chipboard set. |

I am buying the sticker sheet you showed (the only thing that seems to have those elves), the puffy stickers because I'm a sucker), and that sheet of paper with lots of swans and santas and angels on it. I'll punch some out.
Also, what happened to My Mind's Eye? Does anyone know?

I’m definitely not on the Ali fan train and this has two of my main scrapping annoyances: alphas with the same qty of each letter, and a number set that doesn’t provide the right qty of each number to use it consistently throughout the project it is designed for. |

Will someone be posting links to the holiday collections this year? There is a 2020 Christmas collections thread on the board where everything is posted as soon as it shows up somewhere if that's what you're after. The kits and DD-like offerings will be linked in this thread. |

Completely agree. Why so many 6's? Give more 1,2's. I don't need 5 6's. |

Completely agree. Why so many 6's? Give more 1,2's. I don't need 5 6's. Same... it looks like there are double sheets and 5 per sheet of 1s and 2s and 4 per sheet of the other numbers. But still, you need 13 1s to complete an album if I'm counting correctly? (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21)? I agree they should've done an entire row of 1s and 2s and then provide maybe 3 per sheet of the other numbers. I guess they assume most people mix & match numbers like Ali does (I do)? |

I will say that a pet peeve of mine with some of these scrappy releases is that you have to buy multiples or work on building a stash over the years if you wish to complete the project the products are supposed to cater for. One of these white number sheets won't suffice. But you're also unable to finish the sheet with a project as you'll be left with loads of extra numbers. Playing Goldilocks when it's meant to be tailor fit defeats the purpose. |

Playing Goldilocks when it's meant to be tailor fit defeats the purpose. This is a huge pet peeve of mine as well. You have to spend 3x what you should to get enough numbers to finish the project. Very rarely will I buy alphabets/numbers because I refuse to buy 4 sets of something to have enough. No thanks. I will just cut the numbers out with my silhouette. |

I’m not sure which thread to put this in but due to the gnome content I chose here to put it. Ok so my order from GinaMarie design came early. I got my slim line dies and this adorable guy. The gnome die worked well & fits thru my sidekick. I had no issue assembling him. I’m sure he will grace my planner pages soon & maybe make an appearance in Dec PL The only ‘problem’ I had was figuring out which mitten went on which hand and in my confusion I cut 2 of one and had to re run it thru to cut the other. But that’s also because I was being frugal and using teeny tiny scraps to do the mittens. http://instagr.am/p/CDb7qZGHoqO I have been eying this gnome. I think I will get him next time I order from GM. Thank you for sharing. |

Just 'cause Crate Paper's Christmas line is usually popular with the DD crowd, here's a quick flip-through of some of the Hey Santa products (doesn't look as creamy/vintagey as in the digital mock-ups):

I have to share because you all will get it - Hallmark is filming one of it’s Christmas movies in my hometown right now! I can’t imagine it’s very pleasant to film in winter coats in August, but I’ll have to figure out which movie and be sure to watch it!

You'll have to let us know which movie it is when you find out. I'll hunt it down on the interwebz for sure (no Hallmark channel here). |

I've been meaning to share the Simple Stories flipbooks but keep forgetting. For anyone wanting to do a separate Christmas/DD album but who doesn't need a lot of pages or can't afford to store a full album for this project every year, Simple Stories has these flipbooks on the market right now. They look like retro notebooks and could be an interesting alternative for those documenting less photos:

I 'm already working on the 31 daily December prompts for this thread and adapting them to these pandemic times for safe, at-home activities and photos. As long as we're all healthy and well, it'll be a nice Yule season even if it's restricted to home life and home things. I'm thinking about hot cocoa tasting event, DIY décor, adopt-a-tradition (even if it's only as a one-off for 2020), modified shopping for presents and groceries, Christmas music dance party, video call Friendmas, airing of 2020 grievances on Festivus, summer in December soirée (to mirror Christmas in July), prepping care parcels for loved ones we won't be seeing, etc.  Love this! Airing of grievances made me literally LOL! 😀 This is the content I'm here for  |
