Pinkfresh has new stamps and dies and normally these weird split up words don't bug me but this is just TERRIBLE. WT A F ?! |

sarahsprettypapers SnoopyFan Apologies! I didn't realise foxes would be so popular over in the US. I wonder why some of the embellies were available but not the paper pad, sarahsprettypapers. Hopefully the retailer will also have the papers in stock eventually. Were you two looking to use this for DD or 12x12 LOs?

Heavens to Betsy. That is painfully stupid. Merr and brighty. Who thought that was a good idea? Totally agree. What a hot mess! |

Blimey, it's all brighty in here!  Suddenly, Toget/her doesn't seem that bad...  Goodness me, don't they have someone on the team who's an honest skeptic with decent eyesight? Merr & brighty is just terrible. AliExpress levels of oh-no-dat-typo. |

along with the panoramic page protectors. I'd love to know what you think of these when you get them. I've got all the configurations in my cart and think they'd be really useful for DD when I just need a little more space. I'm sure they'll live up to my expectations but it's always nice to get an honest opinion to justify my spending  They arrived early! Let me tell you, they are just as good as their other PPs! I even tested them by putting 4x6 and 3x4 cards in them. It's not a perforated fold, it's just a fold over, but it does not take away the room in the pockets. Instead of top loading some of those cards, the cut is in the middle of the PP. Similar to some of the old PL style PPs. Very happy with them! The plush album is gorgeous and super soft. My only complaint is the binder rings are not very large. 1.25". This thing, literally, will fit inside my other closed DD albums from AE. It will be fine for me this year because I plan to do a small DD, but if it was my usual DD? I'd need two albums. I hope in the future SB.com is able to remedy this, because their albums are so wonderful otherwise. jeremysgirl tagging you as well regarding the album. |

Mine has shipped by I'm not sure where it is in the mail. I'm glad you liked it, though. I used a SB.com album last year for my DD and it was just big enough to meet my needs. |

We haven't discussed this mystery find coming from Pinkfresh Studio outside of their Christmas line this year (geared towards cardmakers) but I think it's a bonkers smart ephemera pack to buy to use as a recurring element through the years. And half of it is silver foil, woohoo! This Foiled Sentiments 4 holiday set is approximately $6 so a really good deal compared to regular DD pricing. Not in stock yet at SB.com but available for pre-order at ACOT.  |

Well dawnnikol I just checked my mail and my order did show up today. I thought the album was a bit brighter than what I had expected. Pretty though. And it is the same size as the one I used last year |

Were you two looking to use this for DD or 12x12 LOs? I am happy with my haul thus far. I was hoping for the 12x12 papers, but I think I can use an older Lawn Fawn Christmas critter paper (Snow Day) collection that had no embellishments. I can report back with my findings in 3 to 4 weeks. 😊 And as for that Pinkfresh monstrosity... I don't see it as Merr & brighty. I read it as Me: Railroad & Brighty, haha! |

Fingers crossed for you, sarahsprettypapers. I hope you can track it down in the US for yourself and SnoopyFan. If it fails, I may be able to get a pad here and cut your must-have papers from the collection to A4/8.5x11 size and put them in a regular mailer envelope with cardboard backing for you. Not sure how well it would travel across the Atlantic but I'm sure I could put the rest of the pad to use for a DIY Advent calendar. |

There are so many companies that have made "Merry and Bright" work in different fun ways with a large font.
Not Pinkfresh.

EuroPeas: Artemio's new Christmas collection, Woodsy Christmas, with loads of critters and muted greens is starting to arrive at retailers. Paper pad is 60 12x12 sheets for about 16€, acid and lignin-free, made in Belgium. (full collection here) Perfect if you want to stay on budget and have enough paper to make cards and/or DIY an Advent calendar on top of your DD pages.   Oh my goodness, that whole collection is divine. I've emailed them to see if anyone is shipping to Australia. I've decided to use mostly red this year (last year was green), and I've already realised I want to use up all the blue/aqua in my Christmas stash next year so this would work beautifully. Woodland is my favourite Christmas theme! I'd also like to thank the Ali Express enablers; I have a ton of stamp sets and dies coming my way. I'll report back on the quality. I love shopping for December supplies so much, especially when I think I deserve ALL THE STUFF because I haven't bought anything all year!!! |

Ok, Im just gonna say it (and I know it'll be unpopular to say out loud), but damn. Can Ali ship already? It seems like she has has her DD stuff for sale forever already and its only been two weeks.

I hear you, mom. I was hoping they were going to add last years kits (discounted)to the DD shopping selection but it doesn’t look that way so I’m ready for them to ship my order. |

Yeah. I’m sitting on the bench of “let’s just ship the dang boxes already”. A month is too long for this. Also, the dang box situation really got me as I’ve added multiple times which I would NOT have done if I had to pay shipping each time. So I guess that’s pretty smart on their part! 😂

They're separate orders and before you know it, you've bought two extra stamp sets you were so adamant you wouldn't buy because "40 extra dollars on top of already 120+ spent, no!". They know exactly what they're doing... Inked when it's add-to-the-box season at AE:  |

I was just coming to the post the incredible news that Elif will be selling some physical products for Christmas but mom beat me to it! It's a first for her and I'm so happy. Lovely quaint designs with a clean aesthetic. She posted and asked whether there was interest in a physical release on IG a couple of weeks ago. It looks like it will be a very small batch so if you're interested, make sure you're ready to shop when it drops. You'd be supporting a genuine indie designer living in a country that has so far exceeded the 80% inflation mark in a year (wtf, I know). In case you needed a little extra push to shop extra for DD this year.  https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch17ZDcs9hx |

Where my 2009 ladies at? Joss Stone (from You Had Me - this was a big hit in Europe, not sure if it made a dent in the US market) announced the release of her first Christmas album this year and it sounds like a beautiful tribute to the classics: |

Oh my goodness, I'm laughing so hard at the MeRR & BrightY. Why? just, why? At first I didn't even notice that the Y was separated from the rest of the merry, I just assumed it was Me-rry, so I wondered where the heck the random Y at the bottom came from. What on earth were they thinking with that?
I just showed my (not particularly design oriented) husband the sample card without giving him any context and he stared at it for a moment perplexed and then just said NO. Just no. lol.
