mom I am very happy. I got both kits and had a ton of her kit from Ali's DD last year and the colors match perfectly.

Mine arrived today too. I only got to rip into it briefly in the car before the Halloween parade at my kids school... I went straight for the journal cards and they are amazing (as expected). Nice heavy weight paper, smooth as silk, and the colors are so vibrant. Trying to get the baby to sleep now so I can go investigate further. But I did notice the card about the Black Friday sale inside almost makes me want to sub for early access.... But not this month since I have never even seen the Gilmore Girls.

Uggh, so jealous, you guys. I haven't even received a shipped email for mine. Wonder if KP is holding it to ship with my monthly kit?

So I finally got to go through my KP kit and I have one gripe.... The 6x8's are full of double sided amazingness but you only get one set. Yeah, I know it is a first world problem. But darn it I hate when you have to pick or have enough of a plan to end up getting to use both sides. Not so much of an issue with the journal cards since some of the designs are repeated in different colors. The first year I did a DD (and was really the first year I got back into scrapping after a looonnnngggg hiatus), I took the 25 days class at SC that Maggie Holmes taught. She was new to me and blew me away with some of the things she incorporated that weren't actual scrap booking products. I had no stash of finds like that nor the time or energy to try and track the things down. So while the overall vibe of the KP kit is night and day from what Maggie did... I am loving some of the unique (or at least to me) things she put in her kit- the receipt paper, hello name tag, airmail envelope, etc. My head is already swimming with clever ideas for how I can incorporate those things into my album and I am really excited! I'll be honest that between having 3 small kids and the SC fiasco's of the past few years, I haven't had that kind of excitement in awhile. And with the overall "meh" feeling a lot of us had about the DD offerings this year, I am kinda surprised to find myself excited about it. But excited to be excited about it

Did you get the digitals with KP DD kits? No digitals, but maybe they could be included with the idea book? Not that I recall that being part of the purchase price? I'll let you know mom

I'm always super impressed with her card quality. Let's go ahead and mention how AWESOME it is that I don't have to use washi to keep the two sides of the stamp acetate together. I don't mind it from small businesses, but SC? Totally annoying. KP always has her taped together with super strong adhesive (part of the actual image sticker) and I love it. We are in the same boat with the BF + Gilmore Girls thing. I thought about subbing for the early access for the sale, but I have never seen a single Gilmore Girls episode. :X I assume it would be excellent since I know KP is also a big Parks and Rec fan... but I haven't had the chance to see.

With that recommendation I might buy the stamp to document how I haven't seen it and then my love affair after???

Gilmore Girls is great! I only started watching it a couple years ago, but I've watched all of it at least 2x now. I'm really excited for the Netflix episodes, and I'm obsessed with the Gilmore Guys podcast (even went to a live show)

Is the Gilmore Girls kit going to be the monthly kit offering this month or just a kit in the store?

I received my KP kits last night (main and Christmas Spirits). Overall, I'm pleased. The main kit is gorgeous with some fun items like a receipt, and "Hello My Name is" Avery labels. I noticed that some of the cards in the Christmas Spirits kit weren't quite cut right though - I can see another card's design on the edges of some of the cards. Hopefully I can just trim these edges.
I also found out that KP is teaching a DD album class in November at a local SB store. I'd love to take the class, but the class description (and price of almost $100) implies they provide a kit, which I now don't need obviously. I wonder if it's the same main kit?

In the flip through KP did of her DD album, someone asked if it was the same as the class and she said "yes". It's possible you could contact the store and tell them what happened and they could cut the price?

It's just a stamp set available in the store, no kit.

It's just a stamp set available in the store, no kit. It's also now on pre-order for restock (ETA: November).

So do Kelly's kits come out on the 28th? I see October is the kit up right now, and starting a membership says that it would be the October kit, but when will the November kit be visible? I read the kit facts, but it doesn't say when a new kit shows. It would be a change in my thinking if the October kit comes out at the end of the month. Not a big deal, but would just be different.

@ihaveonly1| a couple of sneaks come out the week before on her IG and in her process videos. The whole kit isn't revealed until the 28th. Subscribers can start shopping two hours early with a code (and a different code gives you 15% off shop items that'll be bundled with your sub). Subbers get an email a few days before the release with the codes, PDF for the kit cards, and a photo of the kit.

I have always been an AE DD fan and have gone a little crazy with the project. I did not buy her kit this year - went with FJ - and I have no regrets. Ali's photos are always great and I'm sure her album will be lovely, but I'm ready for a change. Distancing myself from SC has been such a good thing.

Trying to decide whether to add something to the order I'm about to place but need your help! Product is the DIY Shop puffy number stickers that would be perfect for DD but... I have two questions: 1. Puffy as in foam or your traditional puffy sticker? 2. Does anyone know/remember the approximate size of a number? These appear sold out a bit everywhere and I just couldn't find the information online. Then again, it's past midnight, we're listening to old tunes with some wine and... you know, my focus is drifting!

Ali has her foundation pages up. Thoughts? Look, maybe it's the combo of tiredness + top quality music + fuzzy feels + glass of wine but all I've got after looking at the blog entry is: "Good for her." You could show me any Ali DD album at this exact moment and I probably would not be able to tell you which is from which year. It's Ali, you know. Same-same. Nice but no longer exciting for me. Also, feels like there's a lot of $5 SC kit recycling happening. Hehehehe...
