There is nothing that I don't like but maybe nothing that I NEED.
I want to see more!!
I love the colors. I was already planning on keeping it simple this year b&w, red and green, silver and gold, splash here and there of pink and aqua. No kraft (I don't think), no blue, no orange or yellow.

I really like Ali's kit. I might have to break down and finally buy a premade kit for this year.

abr79 frenchieyes! price point is a consideration for me too. i always seem to find ways to justify this one though i squirrel a little bit away monthly for all things related to christmas so i somehow manage to tell myself that this is a gift for my whole family!

I agree! I have my eye on a couple of other Christmas collections to coordinate with the kit - plus I have a ton left from the Bo Bunny one I got last year. But if I don't find any that I'm head over in heels in love with like I was with Bo Bunny, then I may splurge and get a mini kit or two. Definitely Peppermint's...possibly Jasmine's. Hurry up Thursday!

Price point will definitely be a consideration for me. I like Ali's, Peppermints, and Jasine's kits. I cannot foresee me buying all three though - so I guess we will see where they fall $$ wise.
If I only pick two - then it will be Peppermints and Ali's kits. I love, love those. Though I would miss Jasine's washi tape (my favorite part of her kit, hands down!).

I am undecided about DD this year. Last year was the first year I did it and I loved doing it and I love the finished album. I used Ali's kit and also bought a set of digital cards from Peppermint (One Little Bird.) I do weekly PL though, and I don't know if I want to do a whole separate album again this year. I wonder if it will be too repetitive to do it every year, especially in addition to weekly PL. Maybe this year I wouldn't do a daily approach?
I am not sure about the kit and mini kits this year. I do love Ali's style, but I am not seeing a lot of color in her kit. Maybe the idea is mostly black, white, gold, and silver in her kits and then add in color with the mini kits? I am a clean, simple scrapper who uses a lot of white, but I love to add pops of color.
I will be interested to see what it all looks like on the 3rd.

I'm trying to think of an approach for this year. 2013 was a daily thing. 2014 I did one event/"thing" for every letter of the alphabet (I made it work out so that I got everything I wanted into the album). Not sure yet how I'll do it this year...

Dang...I really like what we can see of Ali's. Definitely getting hers. I am most likely passing on the mini kits unless I crack at the last minute and order Peppermint's. The rest of them don't really appeal to me at all. I love the silver in the main kit!! I hope that kit is enough to stand alone.
ETA- I have been doing PL since 2009 and DD off and on, mostly on, for several years. Last year I stopped my PL at the end of November other than a little end of year wrap up. I just couldn't see the point in doing PL and DD in December. It worked for me and I was happy with it. I do DD through the 25th so I wrapped up PL with the last week of December through New Year's Eve.

That's what I plan on doing, too - My PL album will go Jan 1-Nov. 28, 29 or 30 (depending on when we start Christmas decorating as that is when I start my DD album). I don't think I can (want to) do a full month of DD as well as keeping up with my weekly PL. I have no problem ending my album with November. Doesn't bother me. Just like the week I did WITL will be missing (I will just add a little card stating that week-X is WITL).

There is only so much I can say about one week of my life. lol

Oh, they are all so cute. I want them all!
Price is a huge factor for me. It's usually $100 for the whole shebang, so hopefully the Ali kit will be priced a little beneath that to accommodate those who want the designer mini kits. I thought the 2014 DD kit looked thin, so I passed on it and went with the December Memories kit from Gossamer Blue (wow, it feels good to say that! I never could on the SC boards) and still have a TON left over. It's on sale, btw! I'm hopeful to find something else I like besides SC/AE. I really don't want to give then more of my money when they suck so hard.

I really don't want to give then more of my money when they suck so hard. The GB kit was nice but I really hated the album! LOL. I still have quite a bit left from my 2014 AE kit but I'm also pretty minimalist with embellishments. It is a bit of a rub to spend money with AE knowing that SC is getting some of it...and back in June when they announced all these changes, I was adamant they were never going to see another of my pennies. But then, when I was looking at a bunch of other kit clubs, they all had SC and 7Paper stuff in them! So no matter what, SC was going to get money from me one way or another. So I justify it with Ali's stuff based on the fact that I firmly believe that she will not allow SC to completely trash her image. And I think the fact that there is such a stigma of past mess-ups hovering over DD, I believe (hope?) that they are going to be on top of things this year. That may just be my rose-colored glasses speaking, but I really hope that to be the case. But I agree, SC sucks really hard right now.

Where is everyone seeing her kit? I haven't visited SC in over a year so the layout is new for me. I looked everywhere and don't see any reveals. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. aliedwards.com/2015-december-dailyIf you click on each picture of the designer, it pops open a window to see sneaks of their kits. We won't see full images until Thursday when we can preorder.

It was better than orange, haha. You are absolutely right about SC being in everything, though. One way or another, they are going to get paid. I just wish they held up their end of the transaction better.

But I'm hoping the reveal on Thursday gives just a bit more color.

I, too, love Ali's clean look. Just something about the 'cleanliness' of it all is attractive to me. Some of the DD I have seen are literally product vomit. While everyone is entitled to do their book their own way, I love that I know Ali won't have piles of crap for embellishments.

While everyone is entitled to do their book their own way, I love that I know Ali won't have piles of crap for embellishments. And, that is exactly what I love as well. So well said. As an embellishment challenged scrapbooker, I just "get" what she puts down with her products. My messy, manic, passionate brain needs the streamline of her products to get my ideas on paper.

Ugh...Did anyone else get the email about the DD preorder? Looks like albums are already delayed (at least they are being upfront about it). Also, I can't tell by the email but is there a stamp in the main kit? Or do we have to purchase those a la carte? I'm a little concerned. ETA: Looks like they are doing things different this year - allowing you to buy the kit (or kits), albums and stamps all separate. It will be interesting to see how that works. People who want just the kit and no album should love that! I'm not sure how I feel about it, though...the thing I loved about buying a kit was that it was all just there, ready to go for me. No thinking (over-thinking) for me. Now I'm going to have to think on Thursday.
