I tuned in late--did they show the mini kit during the first half hour? Yes they did!

There’s so much and it was all so good. I am thinking about doing a 10x8, just so I don’t have to cut down anything. My album sizes are never consistent so I feel free not to do a 6x8.

I'm on the edge too with doing a 10x8, I just hate cutting stuff down or turning it on its side. I really, really did not love doing 10x8 for December Daily though, I'm so torn. I didn't think I was going to get the mini kit, it seemed so repetitive from previous years. But it's just so good and beautiful. And that darn December Daily Chipboard piece. The gold glitter starts are hideous. Why do they not match the gold better or skip them? I really liked the paper pack, except for the HUGE MERRY. Those patterns irk me. Loved the plastic words, both sets of transparencies, plastic squares, felt numbers, envelope pack (sucker for the star garland), chipboard sheet with phrases, and word stickers. Iffy on the diecut pack, so much seems huge. Will have to look again. Zero interest in stencils, screenprints, dies, 3x8 set, wood stars, etc. It's a good release, I'm excited.

I am very excited about both kits! I had talked myself out of the mini kit until I saw it.
I start my vacation Friday. I am going to have to make my list in a hotel room then set my alarm Tuesday to get up and order.

Regarding the 10x8 size…I think I’ll add some shorter pages, with room for side tabs. Or having room for 8x8 photos, that seems fun and different, for me.

I was in a stressed funk last year and didn’t do a DD. I’m so excited about DD this year that I’m toying with putting a simple one for ‘23 together before December now. Is that crazy? I’d probably use a CT 4x8 album I already have….

I’d probably use a CT 4x8 album I already have…. I had a gap of 4-5 years of not doing DD but had taken photos for all but one really hard year. I went back and did all but that one and so glad I did! Some of mine were mostly photos, maybe date stamped but not a lot of journaling.

I'm bummed that nothing was created for the small album. Most 6x4 cards are horizontal. The 3x8 are not only punched - the holes don't align. What a missed opportunity.I'd have bought two packs of these in 4x6. There aren't even 3x8 albums this year. Eta: I' m back to not ordering, so that's a good thing, I guess. 😁

I watched about an hour of the DD Live today and I have to admit, I am in love with the 4x6 album. I’ll probably buy the album and a few embellishments this year.
After watching the Live, I pulled out my 2023 December Daily album that only has days 1-3 finished. I am determined to finish last year’s album before I start this year’s album! I printed photos for pages 4-12 tonight before running out of printer ink (of course). I have more ink coming and I hope to finish printing photos this weekend.
I haven’t completed a whole DD album in 10+ years but this will be the year I finish 2023 & 2024!

I'm in trouble.
I'll spend $300 if I'm lucky. I really liked almost everything so it's probably going to be more.
I will make a prioritized list when all the prices come out. There are some things I LOVED but I know I won't use like the 3X8 paper pack. I don't really need the die cuts.
I feel like I need all the paper. When they had Lisa place the stencil ornament and the screen together I was a goner. That was so cool. I see having a lot of fun with that.
November is the fun time to play, then December is "stick the shit down" and move on.
I've never bought Liz's kit because it's just not me but this year, wow. It's gorgeous.
This is going to be tough.
I spent $170 last year plus the classes. And that was splitting the main kit with another pea very evenly.

I like Liz’s kit…I’m having a hard time convincing myself not to just get the digital kit.

Dang it all. I was convinced I didn’t need mini kit but now I’m thinking I might?! I might have also talked myself out of the main kit by being able to piece together shop items (except I want the washi and the little white handwriting words!) … sigh. I need to see everything in the blog post to really know. Praying I hate all the stamps. 🤣

I won't print transparencies as they never look good but I've had good results with vellum. Ok, that's a very good plan.

I am really looking forward to seeing the pictures and overview on Friday. And prices, those help make decisions too. 😂
So far I’m thinking of getting the main kit, scalloped plastic squares, 3x8 paper assortment, those plastic transparent colorful titles, and probably an album or maybe two. And maybe the felt numbers.

Any thoughts on what will sell out? I think the large vellum shapes they showed last week are a candidate. The large titles they showed today are super cute too.

Yeah, good call on the big vellum shapes. Ali said three items would be highlighted for PP? Whatever those are will be popular. Since Ali is using the red star 6x8 I’m sure that will be the first to sell out.

I’m another one that’s in trouble this year… so many options which I am loving (for once!!!) The one year I need to save money and instead there’s a chance I’m going to make Ali and inked have a very happy Christmas 😂

I was also pleasantly surprised by the mini kit (and totally agree with you on the glitter stars- which were most definitely not designed by liz lol). I may have to order this year.

Their post says Thursday the 22nd. Today’s Thursday the 21st. I’m betting it’s a scheduling issue.

I’ve never heard of this company, but wow, really pretty! Do you or anyone here order from them? It's been a while, but I used to order from them frequently. My biggest issue is that the pieces are REALLY thick. Like almost 1/4 inch. That added to much bulk to an already very bulky album. And becasue there is no give to the pieces they tended to pop off anything flexible like acetate.
