2023 megaaa DECEMBER DAILY thread (ALL December projects)

Sorry I meant the cards are 4x6 😁… I’d be able to use horizontal ones easily, vertical are not as useful!

blemon after rereading it 8173528 times I think I get it but I still hate it. 🤣

I like a lot of the shop items. I’m going to spend time this weekend being thoughtful with what I have and what I will really use and then try my best to stick to the plan and not let FOMO win. The problem is I’ll do good for a couple days and then hear somethings running low and toss it in my box. They make it too easy- “I already paid shipping - it’s basically free” 😂😂

I think these are adorable. My first thought was to scraplift a Steffi Ried LO for these mixed with paper tags:




I think they'd also be cute with a photo or journaling sewn onto the bottom, or peeking out of a pocket.

I can't unsee Cookie Monster now. /laugh

Sorry was in a rush when I posted. The plastic tags

Did Ali say if the green album was designed by Liz or not?

craftymom101 Jar-Jar Binks speaks lol

Do the digital supplies come out the same time physical supplies are released? Are the prices usually comparable to last year’s digital prices I see in the shop?

honeypea It seems like they brought it back because Ali has gotten into mixed media again with her daily pages and art journal.

Personally I think stencils are easier to use & clean and have more shelf life. Also after spending (wasting) gobs of money on Dylusions paint tubs I will never buy my paint in jars again. My experience was paint is messy and gets on the threads of the jar. Even if you are diligent about cleaning them and put vaseline on them they don’t seal 100% and the paint dries out usually before you can use it up or you can transfer the paint to a squeeze bottle which is a pain in the ass.

ETA: For me stencils are also more versatile. You can use paint, ink, spray ink, texture paste, etc.
For those who struggle with paint and stencils you are using too much paint. You need the most minimal amount. The makeup sponges work well and dab off the paint first on scratch paper or a glass mat. It takes a little practice.

I just watched the AE videos and I don't think I'll be ordering any physical products but will grab some of the digitals. I was surprised by how much I liked some of the stamps. Liz's stamp is adorable.

All in all, it left me missing Felicity Jane which was just way more my style. I think I may end up going with Elle Studio, my stash, and digital products this year.

Anyone else annoyed the albums had silver rings when they had gold on the albums? For some reason that really bugged me.

So I have made a spreadsheet for what I HAVE to have and what would be cool if its there later. Some things I know I am going to get, knowing I will sell off some of them (like the stars and plastic tags. No one needs that many). On the fence about getting an album or finding something else to use (either from my stash or Citrus Twist). For stamps, I like some of them but not ready to commit Probably will end up doing digital on them.

Silkscreens make the image crisper IMO. Much easier to use, too. But they need to be washed right away and pressed down perfectly if you want to reuse them.

I love silkscreens and had been asking for awhile that they make more so I was happy to see some this year.
I am still debating on what to get I like many things but I am mostly struggling with an album choice. I want 6x8 but I do not like the green and I wish the white album had red or green stars or both. I don't like that it is so similar to 2019 album. I do have a green travel album that I am debating on using instead.
