Liz is showing close ups of her Mini Kit on her IG/IG Stories. IMO it looks much nicer than it does in the pics in Ali’s shop. Feeling a bit of FOMO 😬 It does look good!

A week out from FYC release and still no KP info.. :X I was just coming to post that KP is leaving it extremely late after promising to give the newsletter subscribers loads of sneaks. Nothing new since that one early sneak and the 12x12 AC paper selection. Her shop has been closed for weeks now. It looks like she's still not operating with a schedule worked out beforehand to adhere to. Disappointing.

I’m still waiting to see Doodlebug. I messaged them on Facebook yesterday to ask if they were putting a Christmas collection out this year and, if so, when. All I got from them was a “yes” and “soon”. At this point, I don’t seeing me buying anything from them to document Christmas this year. If they put out pins, I’ll pick them up. I’m tired of waiting!

Spellbinders also has gray and silver 6x8 albums for $5 in their clearance sale. I don’t know if they are the same shade of gray, but that may be another option. How big is the spine/ring size on these? The spine itself is 2 1/4 wide ( on the inside, not counting the goody parts ) but the rings are only 1 3/8” top to the base where they are attached. The rings measure 1 1/4 across from the rounded side to the flat D side of the ring. Hope that hope that helps

Yesterday I went through my DD stash and it took me WAY TOO LONG to realize I didn't even get elle's kit last year, it was the year before! I was looking through their blog trying to drum up some inspiration and it was constantly "oh.. I don't remember that paper" and "I guess I didn't pick up those alphas?" I blame 2020 lmao ...I ended up grabbing their kit this year + a paper pack and puffy alphas, the grey album from ali, ali's stamp pack from hsn, and some new embossing powder from sb.com ... this year sucks and life is short sooooooo there's some holiday acetate and vellum sheets from pretty little studio I really like... so that cart will probably be bought too lol all in all I'M READY FOR THE HOLIDAY CHEER

I just added a set of 3 christmas bags to my box for 99 cents. I wasn't going to add anything but that's a darn good deal.

I think Im ready. I have stuck to my 'Ali only' rule this time around. I ended up adding the Paislee Press mini kit. While its not my favorite kit she's ever done, I will use it I think. I need to order some 6x8 protectors still, but otherwise, Im done.

Has anyone done her prep day before? This year it is on November 7, and I'm thinking of signing up. I think the problem with me and past DD's is that I never complete prepping the album in time to start taking pictures. Then I give up. This year I'm hell bent.

I loved Prep Day the first year. I was so inspired and got so much done that day!
Last year I actually had to work on Prep Day, but signed up anyway and ended up going back and watching the videos. It wasn't quite the same but totally worth the $5 for the digital "freebies" and videos. I think it's a good value, especially if you're determined to get your album prepped!

For those ready for a new alpha stamp this year but aren't crazy about the one Ali is offering, Pinkfresh has a new font that I think would work really well for DD or cards. Lea's Ornate by Pinkfresh. There's a lowercase version, too.

I am so excited to use them in my DD.

This year I'm hell bent. i don’t do a December daily And I found the prep day worth the $5. I used the digital sin PL, and had a fun day. Like I said last year, it’s the cost of a Starbucks latte but lasts all day.

My CT kit arrived in NZ today ...woop! I received my CT kit earlier this week in Canada, and I am really impressed! It's the first time I've ever seen CT products up close and I love them! I'm so excited to make my DD this year, last year I started but then my printer broke and it all fell by the wayside. I missed the candy apple red album preorder so I had to get the green album, and while it is very pretty, I still wish I had the red one.

Did Ali's DD 2020 kit and add-ons sell out? I am not buying the kit this year, but wanted to see if any of the embellies caught my eye. When I go to her site and the DD section now, only last year's items pop up. Is there a different site for the 2020 items??

The $5 Prep Party is absolutely worth it even though I didn't really use it last year. You can't go wrong for that price. It gets you in the mood and going. It's especially useful if you do a DD with page protectors and a not-too-small format. I'll probably skip this year as I'm sticking to the "tiny" 4x4 but I highly recommend it anyway. It's great value.

Hallmark has confirmed one of their 2020 Christmas movies will feature a gay couple looking to adopt a child. The Christmas House will star Jonathan Bennett, the openly gay actor you likely know from Mean Girls. Robert Buckley of One Tree Hill fame will play his brother. Old millennials, rejoice! ETA: The Christmas House will air on Nov. 22. Baby. Freakin'. Steps. But we're getting there, finally some inclusion and representation in our cheesy Hallmark romances...

Ali has digitalis 40% using the code on her homepage. If you need templates, etc for DD now would be a good time to get them. It looks like older DD digitalis are included.

He and his husband are thrilled to be a part of it, and we are super thrilled to support some inclusion in this genre!!

But we're getting there, finally some inclusion and representation in our cheesy Hallmark romances... lifetime also has an lgbt centered storyline in one of their holiday offerings this year! the bar is practically underground for both of these channels, but baby steps is right. unfortunately bennett is so so so annoying to me in everything he does if they wanted the "actual gay man playing a gay man" representation they could've given it to luke macfarlane even if he's already in another one this year. but *puts on conspiracy hat* i'm pretty sure they don't want their middle class white christian housewives to actually know he's gay so they can continue fawning over him in the movies he does do.

It's pretty well known Luke Macfarlane's gay. My guess is that Luke's a shoe-in for hetero romances so they're keeping him there (smart) just like the other openly gay actors they've hired so far (Peter Porte comes to mind). The LGBTQ inclusion is not only an attempt to "get with the times" and appease some of their already subscribing viewers but also rope in the millennials who are now all out of higher education and working so have some disposable income to pay for Hallmark. Jonathan Bennett is a great choice to introduce this "new era" of Hallmark and try to bring the millennials into the fold since many still feel that Mean Girls nostalgia, especially around this time of the year (confirming the project shortly before Oct. 3rd is a genius coup for free publicity). Simple but effective strategy that follows their plans of recent years with the increasing amount of 90210 and One Tree Hill alumni. Obviously, it's a PITA if you don't like the actor they've chosen but I see no conspiracy here. It's a pretty good catch for their network and a smart move. If they pair up Bennett and Chabert in a movie next, they'll score big time with Gen Y and probably make up for the major gaffe that made Hilarie Burton leave Hallmark (for lack of diversity, yikes) just as they were about to shoot a movie reuniting her with Chad Michael Murray. The strategy is clearly geared towards xennials and millennials. Bennett's no Michael Rady or Andrew Walker but he's a good move on the chessboard.

Any specific ones that you’ve used and liked? I’m on my way out the door but I’ll come back to list some later. But off the top of my head, I like using her templates to pop a photo in + add journaling on days I am in a hurry. But I’ll come back later and be more specific.
