Someone needs to slap my hand and hide my credit card. I am ---thisclose--- to not using the floral DD album and ordering the Joy album. UGH. I love the floral album but Im having a hard time being inspired with it. Glad I’m in good company. Same here! I’m very torn on the album. I do have a few (ahem) spare albums I could use instead, but none are really speaking to me.

Someone cut down their Santa album to 6x8 on the DD group on FB and now it’s all I can think about. It’s adorable

Texas ScrapYour cover page is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I especially love the backside, something about all that white space in the tag paper and the vellum + diecut really gets me. The pops of gold in the sprays with the outline on the tags really pulls things together too.

Lots of people want a video on how I did it. I've never filmed a how-to-video before. I'll film while I do the front part of the album. Hopefully the video comes out ok and it can help people.

I love the floral album but Im having a hard time being inspired with it. Have you caved and bought it yet lol? I think it's lovely and would have bought it if I didn't already have an album lying around that needs to used. If it wasn't for the high postage costs I'd still be very tempted. Not yet! LOL

Okay so I am going to join in the fun again. 😁
Does SB dot com put their albums 0n sale for BF or CM? It's on sale for $16 right now but would love a better price drop (6x8 album).

Also I watched an unboxing of Ali's kits and almost fell out of my chair with the misspelled word. Do these people not have editors?
I bought a few of her items last year and barely used them.
I had more fun doing my own thing and using my own supplies.
I did get the 6x8 transparencies though. I saved $1. I still cringed at the shipping. Good gosh.

Ok, so I'm organized (except for numbers and trim). I went through my paper today and I have NO vellum and NO acetate.
This is a staple for me but there's nothing this year.
I ordered from Pretty Little Studio but I don't think I ordered 12X12 so I won't be able to do a true full page. I might have ordered 8X8. I have no memory of what I bought but it will be here soon.
There's nothing at ACOT.
Know of any vellum or acetate in xmas designs? Haven't checked Etsy yet.

So I just saw the Hip Kit Club's Christmas collection, and I must say I think it is really cute. I love the red paper with the big snowflake. I don't know what it is, but this kit just makes me happy. http://instagram.com/p/CkjcJlwOPxS

Both Vicki Boutin’s Evergreen and Holly and Crate Paper’s Mittens and Mistletoe have a sheet of vellum. Maybe Scrapbook.com?

The only thing in stock was the crate paper red plaid vellum. All the prima is out. I will look on Etsy again later as I'm sure I'll find something there. I need to see what I ordered from Pretty Little Studio. I just don't remember but it's been shipped so I'll have it soon. I ended up buying acetate dividers from Felicity Jane since they were on sale. I will use most for October Daily but there are two I will use for DD. I'm also going to check out Heidi Swapp's site to see what she has.

blemon there's some cute holiday acetates and vellums on etsy but you're more likely to find A4 and smaller sizes than full 12x12 ones. Have you looked at craft stores around you? I know I've found generic foil stars/stripes in 12x12 in past years at Joanns. Looks like the Michaels Recollections brand has 2 specialty paper pads this year, however they're 4.5 x 6.5 but could be cute for some pockets! The vellum pad is a generic red/green/gold Christmas one and the acetate pad is a blues/white/gold winter-y one. I found a flip-through of all the papers from this year including the specialty ones -- They start at 5 minutes 43 seconds if it didn't load properly! They're pretty cute imo especially for the price (currently on sale for $3.59). Biggest downside is looks like they're only in store and none of the ones around me are in stock lol

Thanks! I ended up finding a pack of 6x8 acetate at Heidi swap. I don’t like that it’s not bigger as I don’t put acetate in a page protector but it will be fine.

I purchased the Mittens & Mistletoe red plaid w/gold vellum, the Vicki Boutin Fa La La gold acetate, the DIY Shop Gold Dots on Acetate, and Bazzill gold dots on kraft from ACOT a while back, they might still have stock.

Sometimes I layer them on top of another page but sometimes I use them as the foundation for the story. Like I know I want to use the red felt half circle I made on my silhouette just on a page with a tag inside. I tab on the right would be lovely. I think the Heidi Swapp ones I bought actually have tabs. We don't have a JoAnn's anymore but I will also go there when I see my mom next time.

Another pea got too many and I was gifted one. I can cut out tabs for you - there are two different sizes.

If you need me to die cut any let me know. Thank you. I actually have a thing for tabs and have a whole little box full of them. Anytime I have an interactive photo element I like to add a tab to show it. But I appreciate the offer.

I'm so excited, I just finished my 2021 DD!
Now I need to organize my products and decide which ones I'll use for 2022. It seems like a good time to do a little de-stashing too.

According to my 8 year old, now that we've had halloween and Guy Fawkes night, we can now start to think about Christmas, so I've bought myself a fancy coffee advent calendar. My boy promptly put on Polar Express as soon as he got in from school. He's also just told me that he no longer believes in Father Christmas and it's made me so sad. margie congratulations on completing 2021! It's the best feeling

Can someone please post the link to the live discussion about organization that was on Instagram at 5:30?
I want to watch it on my computer, not my phone. I'm having issues logging in.
Did anyone see the beginning part that was not recorded because it got cut off?
Thanks! I really like watching these things.

Speaking of organization for DD... Choux Puff Creations has a great video about how she organizes her items for DD. It is 37 min long but an easy watch and listen to.
