October Afternoon Saturday Mornings

I keep waiting for this as well. I am sure ACOT and Bluemoon will carry it when it arrives but I haven't seen it in stock yet. If you check their FB page, OA answered someone the other day asking about the line by saying it had already started shipping to stockists...here is a quote from their FB Page:


OA said: Saturday Mornings have shipped/shipping out to local scrapbook stores now. A quick google search will give you an idea of some online stores that are stocking it such as A Cherry On Top. I am sure there are others, but that is one that popped up that appears to be stocking it now. HTH

Maybe sometime in the next few days?

Thanks PaperAngel for the LSS update! As i said awhile back in the other thread this line does seem slightly truncated when it comes to embellishments/extras. I am fine without buttons, chip n stick (you can always mount stickers on your own chipboard if you want chip stickers), sew fun banners etc. I am okay with them mixing up their embellishments as well...I do wish it had mini markets because I LOVE those, and an 8x8 pad. I noticed ACOT lists a collection pack for $26.95 but it does not have a photo.

Treasure Map which they vaguely say will be out for Spring does have a lot more embellishments listed on their product page: buttons, 8x8 pad, mini markets, chip n stick, sew fun banners etc. I am unsure if that is because it was developed first or because they consider it a more complete line. Hopefully when it comes out they won't have cut those things.

Interesting PaperAngel ... I am interested to see how this develops because OA has brads listed for Saturday Mornings, but not, for example, buttons or mini markets. Maybe they didn't know until later that the brads would be delayed, while they knew some other things would be much earlier and thus did not list them on the product page at all. Really strange that the tin pins are delayed since they sent those out with the fourth Santa Sack. I did notice, though, that the were not in a full package.  So maybe it is a packing issue that is delaying them?

I am willing to bet good money that Treasure Map will show up, eventually, probably in the next few months. Sad to hear about the probable demise of Summertime. I LOVED the looks of that line. I still wonder though, like PaperAngel, if they will be adding to Daily Flash as there was a new alphabet (woodgrain!) for it with the December Daily stuff.

I really want new OA more than usual (is that possible?! I am such an OA tragic...)because the sneaks from CHA have bored me to tears in general. I am really disappointed in a lot of what I have seen. American Crafts is really rehashing things, and making stuff that is more for decorating than scrapping! So many lines feel like an amalgamated mess. Sorry, if that upsets anyone but that is how I feel. This is why it is even more important to me that companies like OA still exist.

Come on OA I am pulling for you!

PaperAngel did you see that Saturday Mornings is available at ACOT and Bluemoon Scrapbooking? I am also going to quote myself from another thread (I hope it isn't tacky, but I feel it pertains to this thread as well)...

I said: ... I sort of, accidentally on purpose may have ordered the whole collection (except the Tin Pins which I already had from Santa sack #4) from ACOT. They were out of the journalling cards though, grrrr. I would have ordered from Bluemoon, but I noticed something very odd at ACOT. They were offering "Daily Flash volume 3 Alphabets"...three different ones to be precise... Early American and Red Wagon (the same ones they offered in their Christmas Kit, I believe) and Mason Jar (not the same as the original scripty mason jar, I don't think). They had no photos, but I ordered them sight unseen because I am pretty positive what they will be. I ordered 2 sets of Early American because, well WOODGRAIN! I found the wording Daily Flash volume 3 interesting...does this mean that we should expect more Daily Flash lines or is Saturday Mornings really more of a Daily Flash line? Or both? Honestly, the embellishments available and missing) from Saturday Mornings really make it look more like a Daily Flash line. Whatever it is, I don't care. I LOVE it and I need to take a pile of pics of my son wearing his retro batman shirts sitting in front of the TV watching the 1960's Batman TV show.

PaperAngel Yes, I ordered the collection kit before they were sold out! Yes, already sold out at ACOT...I was excited to see that they had one after all. It seems there will be 2 washi tapes and the brads at least to come for Saturday Mornings. I don't know what I will do with Pancake washi tape, but I want it anyway. I am wondering if there won't be mini markets (or a 12 x 12 alpha!) for this line and that the Daily Flash Alphas belong to this line, so to speak. The colours work well with Saturday Mornings ...wood grain, red and aqua. And the Daily Flash alphas come with a medium size font and a tiny block tile in the package.

If I remember correctly Daily Flash came out in two groups originally it was something like Group 1: Milk Money, Apple Cider and Egg Nog then Group 2: All Boy, Girl Talk and Snapshots. Now wouldn't it be SUPER AWESOME if volume 3 had Saturday Mornings, Summertime and a new, unseen line? Although if Saturday Mornings is indeed more of a Daily Flash line that tends to mean it won't get an 8x8 pad or some of the other embellishments like buttons. BUT it could mean a 6x8 paper pack which could be cute. I made sure to order the card pack even though I don't do pocket scrapping because I can see them being cute on regular pages.

I love October Afternoon papers! I will have to watch for this new one - Saturday Mornings.

This... 100% this. I bought the papers I liked from ACOT already, but I really want that washi and the brads.

PaperAngel Yay, thanks for the link. They look exactly like i expected. I got 2 of the woodgrain and 1 each of the other two. Hmmm Paper Issues ships internationally. Another store I can add to my list.

@crimsoncat Sorry! I know a lot of stores find OA annoying to deal with. My LSS tends to get OA in eventually after it has bee out for months, and they tend to end up missing embellishments. They said they wouldn't stock it anymore, but they keep getting it anyway.

I saw an interesting thread on ACOT's message board where they listed the top 10 products and top 10 paper lines for ACOT for 2014. October Afternoon had 2 of the top ten paper lines with DF Snapshots and Public Library, no other manufacturers had 2 paper collections in the top ten.

Just out of curiosity, what is considered Vol 1 and Vol 2 of Daily Flash?
