This year's offerings are almost enough to put you off buying full kits. The mini's from Ali were really thin and it seems like there were no FULL kits for under $60 this year. Big price tags, small contents list. Banking on a FABULOUS release for DD2017 ... after this year's offerings, I expect vendors to be working double time to knock our socks off come summer. Yeah have to say I'm pretty disappointed all round. Don't know what I would've done if I didn't have leftovers from last year. SaveSave

There are still a few little things to come, I think. Pretty Little Studio has 2 Christmas releases that haven't been revealed yet, including Ashley Horton's.
It looks like Ashley Horton's Tinsel Town has been opened for pre-order. It's super cute and I wish it had been released sooner. Tinsel Town Pre-Order
They still have one winter collection that's "coming soon" from Marie-Pierre Capistran, who did their super gorgeous summer line Here Comes the Sun. Cocoa Daisy is sneaking their Christmas planner add-on, but I suspect it will sell out to subscribers during reveal on the 28th. Their planner add-on last year was adorable, and I ended up using a lot of it in my DD.

Big price tags, small contents list. Banking on a FABULOUS release for DD2017 ... after this year's offerings, I expect vendors to be working double time to knock our socks off come summer. I didn't go the kit route this year. I bought Pinkfresh's Oh Joy line from Bluemoon Scrapbooking - that literally came in a repurposed pizza box (thankfully not used). Cost me approx $51.00 (shipping for US was free) and included the full range except for stamps (I have enough Christmas stamps and then some)
Gold acrylic mirror stickers (9) Gold Foiled stickers (phrase and icon) (too many to count) Acetate Die cuts puffy stickers washi stickers (3 sheets) foiled chipboard alphas ( 9 letters As alone!) 6 x 6 pack paper 12 x 12 pack paper 1 12 x 12 sheet of gold transparency's
It is a little anti climatic and missing the wow factor because it doesn't come in a cute box. But each and every single item is lovely.

I ordered pieces from the Holly Jolly line from Pretty Little Studio. Love it! The alphas and embellishments are so cute and versatile.

Tinsel town is quite cute, but I'm not sure now that I've seen the pre-order. The vellum and acetate is a kind of weird size 8x8. And I'm not sure about the overall 'vibe'. Guess it just doesn't grab me like I thought it would.

I am so disappointed. I don't like anything. Not even FJ.

Feeling very weak after seeing KP's IG post with foundation pages. I already have one of Ali's albums so I wouldn't do it the same but I love the look of her finished product. The kit pics didn't overly excite me, but now....hmmmmm.....

I just saw KP's IG too and love it! Although the paper I'm going to be using is really thin (paper studio collection-but it's a lot of plaid so couldn't resist) and I'll need to be mindful of reinforcing it, I enjoy doing DD without page protectors.
KPs reminds me of how Ali used to do hers. I will probably have a few pocket pages, but I like more variety.

I caved and ordered the Felicity Jane kit! I'll probably save that album for something else.

Now that I've seen the FJ kit in full, I can resist it. Some cute elements but overall a bit disappointing. And I don't think the album goes at all. At this rate, I'll be using leftovers for next year as well!

I couldn't help but order the KP kit after watching her IG video about a dozen times. And it already shipped and will be here this weekend I don't prep in advance but that still makes me do a happy dance.

She is doing an amazing job marketing her products (and that's a genuine compliment, not sarcasm). She uses her PL videos to sneak her upcoming kits and stamp sets. And she's done a great job making us drool over that 2016 DD album. I hope you'll have fun with the kit and share your foundation pages!

I just got the two mini Ali Edward kits I ordered. Super fast shipping but major thumbs down on the products. The colors looked much richer online and for $20 each it's a pretty pathetic amount of product. These kits are making me feel Scroogey.

I bought the Paislee Press kit. It's totally my style and I think I'll like it more once I start using it.
It's been so hard to resist that Kelly Purkey kit though. The bright colors, the quality of the paper she uses and the letterpress. So beautiful. There's always next year, right?

And my KP kit is out for delivery today! She must have an in with USPS because I always get her stuff super fast... Like 2 days (Oregon to Indiana) but anything from Utah takes a week minimum.

Not December Daily related, but I'm really excited to see KP's new releases tomorrow. Gilmore Girls stamp! And everything else I've seen sneaks of looks really cute. She's killing it lately!

I'd been thinking about buying a couple these past few weeks because they're cute, but not at those prices! I did some looking. The company she gets them from sell the bows at a high price as well - so maybe she is only changing what she has to? But still....

The favourites stamp set has got me all pumped up. In DD news: I'm going 4x6 after unearthing a Simple Stories album in my tiny stash and deciding it's time to use it instead of hoarding of for another occasion. Theme colours are black and white, gold. Placed an order for extra page protectors and found the Pink Paislee 4x4 cards that are numbered 1 through 25 in the sales section. Perfect addition! I'm so happy with how budget-friendly my own kit has turned out to be.
