The advantage to them having to put the classes in the regular spot, is that you can use a coupon code on them now. I just ordered the prep day, and the hybrid product play, and it was only $13.60 for both, which felt like a pretty decent deal to me. Thanks for the reminder! Didn't even think of that, and those are the two classes I'm getting. |

Do you have a silhouette? I watched some tutorials online and figured out how to turn any old font into a cut file. Last year I made a title just by cutting out individual letters (then I stuck them down). Then you can make any number you want. I do! But I barely use it. This is a great idea but not ideal for someone who doesn't get much time to craft like me, ha. |

Any suggestions for other sources of numbers? Ideally 1 inch tall? I feel like I can never find good numbers. Thickers fall off, many alpha sets barely have any… Do you have a silhouette? I watched some tutorials online and figured out how to turn any old font into a cut file. Last year I made a title just by cutting out individual letters (then I stuck them down). Then you can make any number you want. But otherwise I am obsessed with numbers. I love to use rubber stamps to make numbers. I'll cut out tag shapes and stamp numbers on them or use those metal-rimmed tags. I've also just been adding adhesive to my thickers so they stay down. So far so good. Elles Studio has some good ones in stock right now. She has a white set that you can color or stamp on. The advantage to them having to put the classes in the regular spot, is that you can use a coupon code on them now. Can you share this code? The one I had expired. The one I used was Welcomeback. It was 20% off. If that doesn’t work for some reason, I found it by googling Ali Edwards coupon code, so you might find one eventually that worked for you. |

I just ordered the felt stars. They weren’t on my radar at all, and I made the mistake of looking at the example of them on a page earlier, and then I couldn’t quit thinking about them😂. I justified them, because I didn’t buy the main kit, so I won’t be getting as many different types of embellishments with the mini kit😜😂. It’s the only extra thing not on my list that I’ve ordered so far. The other item that I’m kind of convinced I’m not going to be able to resist the whole time are the circle stamps. I really love them, but I don’t love the price tag on the 6x8 sets, so we’ll see if I cave eventually, or hold strong 🥴😂

Actually don’t care about the circles lol but I do love the crisp, nice font sentiments. And I hope I do some embossing (it’s been years) so I’m tempted to get them rather than the digital. But…. 6x8 nearly 30$! Yikes! |

I got prep day and project play for $20 total vs $25. Made it easier to go for it as I wasn’t going to do project play but $16 for that is pretty decent for an idea every day in November. |

I didn’t purchase any Ali Edwards DD products today. Anyone else? You can sit next to me. I've checked the site a few times, but decided against it each time. I've been adding to my SB.com order instead. ^.^ |

I do! But I barely use it. This is a great idea but not ideal for someone who doesn't get much time to craft like me, ha. I felt the same way. Then I just set aside some time for it and did a bunch of things at once. I have mine stored away so it's not like I can just throw something together. It's an ordeal. So I decided I was going to learn. I typed out what I wanted then watched the tutorial on how to make any file into a cut file and it was way easier than I thought. And I did it! If I can do it, you can do it. And it looks so cool. So much cooler than if I had used sticker letters or anything else. I am very proud of myself for figuring it out even though it wasn't that bad. I also stopped worrying about wasting paper. I just use plain colored cardstock, not my pattern paper. So it's cheap. Before I was trying to eye up where to put the paper on the mat so I would only use a little. Now I just use the whole sheet. If any is left over, I deal with later or recycle it. It helped to turn off that guilt. |

Got everything I wanted with only minor IT issues...most of the photos aren't loading and the top nav bar wasn't changed until after 9 a.m. I Had that as well. It was so annoying! |

Made it easier to go for it as I wasn’t going to do project play but $16 for that is pretty decent for an idea every day in November. The code was already in for me when I went to purchase the classes. I tried to be judicious in my spending. Initially, I had a few of the $28 stamps on my list but I cut them. I'm sure I'll regret not getting the #'s one. It was cheaper to get the plastic tags than the tag stamp. Plus, I already have a tag stamp from last year. Ali almost got me to buy the craft die cut pack, almost. Then I came to my senses and realized I don't like the look of craft. I took the mini kit off as it seemed rather light to me. I almost caved at the floral album until I counted how many empty albums I still need to use. I missed out on the clear plastic attachers so hopefully they will come back in stock. I ended up getting: Main kit Specialty Paper Pack Holiday 10x8 Paper Pack December Joys 6x8 Holiday Plastic Tag Set Red Trans #'s White Felt Large #'s 6x8 Page Protectors 5A White Felt Stars Red, White, & Gold Foil Sticker Bundle PP Stamp Tab Stamp Product Play Prep Day Hybrid Play Hopefully I can remain strong on the circle stamp. I was bummed not to get the advent envelopes but couldn't justify the price. Maybe next year. Now I'm on the hunt for an advent calendar. I'm surprised the 3x8 (?, I think that's the size?) albums have sold out already. |

Big-time YAY for nearly everyone getting everything they wanted! 💸💃🎉 So sorry about the few who missed out on some of their must-haves. I hope you can track them down later (maybe buy part of them off someone in here?). It sounds like the check-out process went super smoothly this year and the only issue was the missing pics in the early minutes.  karenbh Baby decided to give you a case of the pre-release day jitters (and it worked)!😅 I wish you a smooth delivery and healthy little one in advance. Happy last days (weeks?) of pregnancy! 💐👶🍼 Texas Scrap I hope this morning's mammogram went well and you got all-is-well results! 🤞 |

I think the 3x8 album was an older product, so maybe they didn’t have very many left in stock to begin with?

No DD purchases for me until I actually make something with my current stash. So, that means I won't be buying anything for a very long time.  |

I just watched the instagram stories and Ali said that they would be giving a discount on digital products for the people who bought the class.
So there's that.

The green album will be the first to go — they have a running low warning.
And the main kit is shockingly running low!

The only thing I didn’t get was the die cut pack. It sold out in check out. Kind of a bummer since it was actually what I wanted most. I just couldn’t get in in time. Hopefully I can make the digitals work. I was just hoping to not have to do a lot of extra printing this year. Sorry that sucks! I have the die cut pack from last year, was there anything from that pack that I may still have, that I can rak to you? |

I was pleasantly surprised so little had sold out by the time I logged on this morning. I picked up the mini kit and the star album and cringed a little when I saw the conversion into AUD. It's the first kit I've ever ordered from AE (although I've had a few albums over the years, usually picked up on sale post season) and I'm excited to use it as the starting point for my kit this year.

Okay DD Peas... I have 4 sets of stamps available from 2022. I thought they would be used on card inserts for my DD album or my regular pocket page albumb but other than stamping a few to see how they stamped, they have sat. Unused. Lonely. Waiting to be loved and appreciated. So here is what is available for free. I just ask that you give these stamps a loving home.     I will let this sit for a day. I will mail out this weekend. |

I forgot it was DD day until I sat down at my desk while my class was gone to computer. I ordered the green album, wooden stars, and enamel pin. I totally forgot I wanted to get the die cut papers too. Oops. I’ll get them digitally. Or 2021’s set digitally. No biggie. I am excited to have made my first DD purchase on Ali’s site! I did it all on my phone about thirty-five minutes after the window opened.
One question because I keep waffling. Do the holes on the six ring page protectors line up with the standard two ring protectors? Just wondering if I bought a refill and didn’t use all of them if it’d be easy to stick them in my usual albums.

I really love that green floral album, but I have multiple empty albums laying about so I'm having a hard time justifying buying another.
I put several of the stamp sets in my cart but after seeing the total I have been unable to hit the CHECKOUT button. It's a lot of money for stamps.

Ok…another question from an AE DD products newbie. The floral and stripes envelope bundle…the red striped has holes punched. The green floral has holes punched. The transparent joy doesn’t have holes punched? Why? What am I supposed to do with it? Glue it in the back of an album or on a page? I’m super tempted to get that bundle but don’t know how I’d include the joy envelope in my album. I’m puzzled. Help me justify this purchase!
