I'm really digging the 10x8 Santa album, but I'm not sure about going with the 10x8 size. I'm an empty nester with 1 toddler grandchild - not sure if the bigger size is going to be too much. But those Santas!!!!!!!!

Ok, its hit me that I have seen that floral pattern before. Felicity Jane had that pattern (or a very, very similar pattern) as tiny envelopes before in one of their DD kits. It looks a lot like a floral pp that Paper Person had in a kit when they still had 12x12 paper. Carta Bella maybe? I’m not good at remembering manufacturer’s lines.

I know for sure I would like to have the floral and JOY album. Would use the joy for Christmas and the floral for anything else. I would like the stamp set with the little circles and Ali’s handwriting. I think the little sayings are cute! I don’t think I’m going to get a kit. I have a lot of Christmas things in my stash. I’ll decide this evening after I watch all the videos. I haven’t had a chance to do that yet.

now I wait until I have my photos, I pick a story I want to tell, and based off the photo, I pick my products. This is my process exactly. I do create a couple of "foundation pages" in advance. But they are pretty much just crafty things I do because I like to do it. Like once I stitched a pocket. I knew I would use it for something. Another time I hand cut these windows to use but then never did. I might actually use it this year. There are a couple of stories I know I'm going to tell and sometimes I get something ready ahead of time but using these things always depend on what photos I have. I have also learned over the years to take both horizontal and vertical pics so I'll have both to choose from.That's a good tip! I sometimes do that and need to make a point to do that more often.

Has anyone identified any other collections that coordinate with Ali's kits? Main kit + Paislee Press mini kit: leftover Crate Paper Hey Santa would coordinate great colour-wise and inject some doodly fun into this more dramatic aesthetic.

If anyone is getting the stencils, the floral of the album cover is one of the stencils in the pack. Maybe using that would help you tie the PP album to Ali’s kit?
I’ve been sure on my list until now when I just added a few more things. Rolls eyes at myself. Gah. I wish the stamps weren’t so damn expensive because three are on my list.
I don’t need a kit because with an earlier sale and coupon I had at the same time I picked up last year’s Paislee Press kit for $11.
I love the floral Album but I bought a citrus twist spruce one instead because I don’t care for the quality of Ali’s albums.

After watching Ali's live today there is more that I'm wanting.
But I will not buy a paper pack for 1-2 sheets, or even liking half of it.
I'm going to buy what I'm planning to buy (still like $100) and then spend some time deciding on other things.
I am getting the advent calendar. I watched about 10 days of sneaks and was pretty much liking everything so I turned if off. Yes, it's too expensive but I really enjoyed it last year and found most of the basics very useful and still have several of the things to use this year.

Son of a nutcracker. I just realized I am supposed to be somewhere tomorrow at 10am eastern. I thought it all went live at noon eastern.

Making progress . I have made my 1st and 2nd order lists, but may need to push a few things to second order...I wish I knew what was going to go first! I did decide tonight to destash my Ali and some Vicki B DD goodies in the next few days and will probably put a RAK or 2 on here so that my stuff going to people who truly will use it .

I’m pretty sure I’ve talked myself out of the main kit.

My youngest (13) has been obsessed with foxes since he was 5 (turns out, we realized a couple years later, he thought it was his middle name. It’s not. 😂) If the fox was on the messy circle stamp set it would’ve pushed me over edge.

With shipping, my total is $133, and I’m not happy about it.

I’m at 142 with shipping if I end up with everything on my list. I feel like I may not grab 3 things, but realistically, if they didn’t sell out I’d probably just add them to my box later anyway. Sigh.

I’m trying to pare down my list and it’s definitely harder this year. Does anyone know if the 3x8 Journal Cards & Transparency set are 3x8 including the holes, or can we trim off the holes to make 3x4 cards to fit in pocket pages?? Also, love the envelope set for including memorabilia or hidden journaling, buy why are 3 envelopes $14.99? Ugh also on the number of stamp sets I like this year, but I can’t get them all.

I have some of that still! I think Crate Paper’s Busy Sidewalks from last year would also work well with the Paislee Press floral album and kit, since the colors are similar (esp that soft pink on the floral album) There are also some house/building and woodland critter icons in Busy Sidewalks that could work well with items from the main kit and add-ons.

I am at $124 with shipping and no kits. With two 6x8 stamps and the $20 stencils, that total added up fast.

I’m fairly sure that it’s 3x8 after you trim off the holes. They are meant to fit outside of the page protector with the holes already punched. So you could trim them to make 3x4 cards. Fairly sure — all of the photos of people using the product from last year have it as the same size as the entire page protector.

During a product video I watched they held up the ruler and showed you could Cut off the holes on those and they would work as 3x4 cards (or to fit in a 3x8 protector).

Ack, torn on album. Love the floral 6x8. Want to try the 8x10, but not the Santa faces. They have a grey linen 8x10, but that doesn’t scream Christmas. Why do I do this to myself….
I’m well over $200 if I get all my wish list items

Same.
Got everything on my list and let one stamp go for now and see if I “need” it. It was 101 before tax and shipping so at least I paired it down a little. Lol

Got the floral album and the Paislee Press mini kit...that's enough for me right now. Will wait until later next month to decide if I want to add anything to my box, but I'm thinking I don't really "need" anything I will probably pick up some digitals when they become available.

I wanted all the pretty things this year, but I don't even do DD. It was just to add more Christmas supplies to my stash. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed. I was in and out before 7:01 with the floral album and the glittery cardstock words. Now to go back in and look at some inks without being tempted to put a kit in my cart... hahaha.

I got my order in.
But a tad disappointed. They sent me a 20% coupon 2 weeks ago that I was planning on using today (there were no exceptions printed on the email). But no discount codes were allowed for todays release. Wish they had said that on the email that coupon wouldn't be allowed on Dec Daily preorders. Oh well.
