That is what I would buy if I had waited. ugh! Next year I'm gonna have to be stronger. SaveSavemerry what did you buy this year? I had the same issue last year - I bought Ali's DD kits (which I did love), but then Gossamer Blue's came out and if I had had the choice I would have probably skipped Ali's main, kept the minis and picked up Gossamer Blue. I still did buy some of Pinkfresh's last year! So this year I decided I would wait. Once I buy I will have to not look at any others though!

Too much stuff available - that's the problem

@northrigg I think you and I have similar tastes! Last year was my first to do DD and I really got swept up in AE's offerings. Then I saw Gossamer Blue's and wished I hadn't order as much from AE. They definitely profit from releasing their products earlier than the rest. Honestly, I shouldn't be buying a kit this year with all my leftovers but Christmas is my achilles heel. I did only order AE's main kit this year as I do like to use some of her ideas and I'm a fan of her style in general. The mini-kits didn't do it for me which has left me to try to control urges to buy other items... I am definitely all over Pinkfresh's word phrases with gold trim. I like gold. I'm ready to start with DD now please. It's been such a hot summer, I'm ready for cooler temps and projects!

merry Me too! Here in CT we will go from summer to a quick autumn/fall right into winter. I love that we have the 4 seasons, I just wish that autumn/fall (sorry from the UK, still like to say autumn) and spring would stay around a bit longer! Which is ironic when I realised that I have way more in my stash to document fall than I do summer.

Today I was in shorts and a t-shirt and then the temp dropped to 57* and I had to put on jeans and a sweatshirt for the nightly walk. We even have days where we get all four seasons! Our fall will last from now (the trees are turning colors) until almost Thanksgiving.

Pretty little studio is having a huge half off sale today and tons of their past Christmas stuff is in the sale! Also you can stack the coupon code "SEPTEMBER" for an additional 15% off! Their stuff is so cute and vintagey, especially fheir Christmas lines. It's not new stuff but sometimes people like a good sale. That's the only I've done DD, with older stuff on sale. Umm, I received my order in about 3 days and omgosh...super cute things! Really really excited to use a bunch of it! Thanks @juliehenry4!

Maybe going through your stash and pulling things that would work in your DD might help? Seeing what've you've got might calm you down until the next wave of releases. The upside is that KP, FYC and other companies will probably be able to ship their kits ASAP vs dealing with AE's yet to be disclosed ship date.

I dont have much Christmas stash, but I can look through it and see what I have. I did this a few weeks ago and mainly raided my embellies and fancy papers (metallics, vellum prints, burlap) that looked like they'd match the mini I pre-ordered. Found that I had a lot more useable stuff than I thought and that I really only need a mini or two's worth of cards vs a full size DD kit with all the trimmings. I'm hoping to have virtually no leftover after this year's album is done. SaveSave

My order was shipped on Sept 10 and arrived in Sydney, where I live, on Sept 15. I thought 5 days to Aus was pretty good, but now it's been "in transit" in Sydney for 5 days and I've still received nothing! Grrr.....

So AE's ship date is October 3rd for pre-orders. I hate to say it but I'm eager and nervous about them getting my order wrong, especially with the albums being sold out.

Its definitely a concern - with all of the order glitches when preordered opened. I only ordered a stamp + an album. So not much to mess up. I have hope that things go well. I was so mad FOR ALI when the preorder was screwed from the get go. It had to have had an impact in her sales. Had to. But, I guess you figure it as a cost of doing business with SC/Inked. SaveSave

How frustrating glenys - sounds like it's been overlooked somewhere. Pretty Little Studio order arrived today. Very happy with everything. I got some great white labels with a metallic red trim and some fantastic transparencies, which are 8x8, so will cut down nicely to fit my 6x8 album.

I normally like Elle's Studio, but not liking this one - something about the green I think. Also the papers look flimsy and the designs look less professional than many of the bigger labels. I'm giving it a pass, but others may like it.

I hope there is a mini Thanksgiving/Fall card set and a more traditional Christmas set so I can get sone more themey things that way...I won't be buying the collection (maybe the puffies). I love the Halloween mini, but was saddened to not see a stamp set. This is a typical shade of green for her. I don't think the pink looks good with it...the green on it's own isn't terrible. I will be skipping some monthly kits if the next few (or at least December) coordinate with this line like the last few big releases have with her kits. I don't think it would be more than a month, but you never know.

I need to get the OP updated... But in the meantime we have seen what SC has to offer in terms of a kit/collection bundle and I just saw that Brandi's holiday kit will release on October 15th with Feed Your Craft (and it will have 6x8 papers!!!).

What I don't understand is that some people are saying we'll be able to buy the SC Xmas stuff later outside of the bundle and make our own bundles/kits? And there are more stamps to come? All very confusing.

Usually there is a discount to buy it all. On the 1st (I believe), the items that are in the bundle will be available to purchase individually. If you only want the puffy hearts, then thats what you buy. Only want certain papers? Then thats what you buy. You can make your own kit (If you'd like) using only the things you like. Or you can just buy one thing.

If you wait you may not get them. FOMO at its best.

Only SC could make customers think buying a $50 kit to guarantee getting $7 worth of puffy stickers is a good idea. Gotta tip my hat at them though. Using FOMO to move seasonal product is a great idea.
