More sale items!
I added the attachers, they seem like a good thing to have.
I am trying to resist any more DD products, but I’m not making any promises.

breakfastattiffanys I also added the attacher stickers to my box. I don't need another album, and I never use clear stickers so those were an easy pass.

They don't seem to be adding much each day, I think they could have done one just bulk upload insteading dragging it out.

They don't seem to be adding much each day, I think they could have done one just bulk upload insteading dragging it out. Each day will be 3 new items until box closes. Bigger deals or items with more demand? Who knows. ETA - The 3 new items added are on a "super sale" for just that day, then prices go up a bit. I bought the 3x8 card set yesterday for $9, today it's $15.

I already own everything in the sales lol. I just bought an attacher die from Elle’s Studio so hoping to make my own instead of buying them.
I am still considering the red star album and the 6x4 album. I don’t really need either and I also don’t want to pay full price so idk.

Not a fan of the stickers, I prefer making my own. I want the 6x4 album. I may add that today.

Sorry for the horrible image quality, does this help? This is PERFECT, thank you! I will do some scrappy recon and report back! I finally made it to my LSS and brought a ruler! I ended up purchasing the Hero Arts infinity nesting scallop square dies. There is a 2x2 inch square and it is close enough to the scallop square tags from the DD release. The only difference is the scallop nubs (I guess I will use that term until I find a better one 😂) are not equal on all 4 edges of the die. So when you cut out the square, 2 sides have the same nubs as the scallop square tags, but 2 have larger nubs and therefore less per edge. I’m not sure if that made sense but it will be close enough for me to use. I have the idea to cut out scallop squares in ephemera I have collected through the season and arrange them with the scallop acetate on a page or in a page protector. Maybe cards, packaging, even wrapping paper? Who knows, I’m just excited and I might just scallop everything!

I use 6x8 albums, so the 4.5×7.5 hanging star plastic envelope will be used to keep all the photo Christmas cards I receive this year. The envelope will be attached to the front inside album cover with redline tape.

I'm also thinking about adding the wood stars after seeing examples made with silkscreens, paint, stamping. They might be fun!
I have two albums in my box, but am also considering adding the red stars album. I really love the 10x8 size but want to scrap previous years and am not sure I could fill 10x8s for those years.

What final items are you all contemplating adding to your box? My maybe list since day 1: Die cut trees (I bought the die but the die cut ones are bigger so can’t decide if I want them too) 3x8 Transparencies. Love what Pam Baldwin did with these! Advent Calendar Wood Stars I bought so much already, but that was the first few days and I have held off other than stamps on the final pre-order day. What are y’all still thinking about? Really, the only thing I am left thinking about is the envelopes. I *think* I've about talked myself out of them, and will perhaps make my own envelopes out of some of my papers. I like the wood stars, but in the past I have bought them and really did not like how bulky they made things so I am going to pass on those, and maybe vut some out of wood veneer that is way thinner.

I got sucked into all the sale items today. Puffy Santas, wood veneer, and the puzzle! I think the puzzle will be a fun family activity this December.

This year I'm using trees to document my reason why in the inside cover of my album. Jill really inspired me. The skinny one I usually use as a pocket for tags. Not sure on the star one, if room (ha) I will probably put cards in it. In past years I've used them to collect ephemera, include extra loose photos, all the lists I made throughout December (a lot).

I threw the puffy Santas in my box this morning. I’m using the Santa album this year so it seemed like a sign. When do these damn boxes close? 🤣Monday or Tuesday? Ugh.

Gosh darn it. I’m torn on those stupid Santas. I got the matching album the other day, so then I think I’ve got that Santa look covered already. Also I think they’re not that cute. But then I think maybe I’ll want them at a later date when I’m using that album and be annoyed I didn’t just grab them. But I really don’t like acquiring extra stuff just for the heck of it.
I do already have the matching three chipboard Santa stickers that were in the advent calendar that year.
Good grief.

Added the puzzle to my box. It’s the first sale item I *had* to have. One more day of sale items being added and 4 more days until the boxes close. Yikes.

Really great deal on the main kit from last year. There was one left when I clicked on it.
I'm considering the journal because it's so pretty.

There’s a YT video of the contents of the 2023 advent calendar, if anyone wants to see it before purchase. I’m trying to not put that and the notebook in my cart…

I bought the puzzle at $9. Considered advent calendar so I reviewed the sneaks and decided not to. There was only one item that I loved.

I wish I gotten there early enough for the main kit. I did pick up the Advent calendar though. I regret not getting it last year. Now, should I open both calendars day by day or have a whole bunch of fun all at once with the 2023 one? I can’t wait for this box to ship!

Paige Evan’s is taking pre-orders for her new sequin Christmas albums. She has a standard 6x8 and a Christmas tree shaped album with traditional Christmas colors. She also has a pastel tree and a pastel Disney album. I’m loving this tree album!! Will have to think hard about this one!! link
