Anyone see the new simple stories winter wonderland? So pretty! I love muted colors and that it's warm toned! I don't particularly care for it. I want to because several of their latest releases (outside of Hello Fall) haven't caught my eye AND I think this is a very well done take on Christmas.winter (hasn't been seen before) but it just doesn't appeal to my aesthetic for winter or Christmas. The ones that add purple (there was an Echo Park or Carta Bella line and a Bo Bunny one, too) are more up my alley. I think they're going to make a lot of people who are bored of the same old, same old very happy, though.

I always want to like Simple Stories, but there's just something about the designs that doesn't grab me. Fortunately really as I have way too much stuff already ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg)

I wanted to like it but it's just too drab for me. It's passed soft and moved into boring.

Hip Kit has just shown the first sneak of the DD kit which features Oh Joy and Snow and Cocoa. Not sure if there will be any exclusive items as well. http://instagr.am/p/BLHS0zShsRi

I always want to like Simple Stories, but there's just something about the designs that doesn't grab me. Fortunately really as I have way too much stuff already Samesies! I love Simple Stories for their faux leather album (best in my stash) and pocket pages quality. I want to love their designs but... On a slighty OT note: has anyone here ever done a 4x4 DD? I was thinking I might throw caution to the wind (never done a true DD) and do a DD in a very minimalist style. Hybrid with just one pocket a day that is centered around the one daily pic. Couldn't find any 4x4 digi kits on the Lilypad (30% until midnight if anyone was waiting to pick something up there, by the way). So, has anyone done DD in a 4x4 album?

How convenient that everything, save for one silkscreen, is back in stock at AE today. Finding it hard to believe that pre-orders closed on Friday and a magic supply of albums, stamps, and paint bundles appears in store Monday morning. Wouldn't those items have arrived last week in order to be included in the shop inventory, assuming they close on weekends?

Well, she *thinks* it is an error in the inventory that occurred after packing and shipping.

I occasionally buy a piece here and there and then NEVER use it. The only collection I was ever able to make anything with was Good Day Sunshine. That one was nice and bright, and the woodgrain was sublime. Save

If you're looking for a 4x4 album, there are some (and other sizes) on Scrapbooksteals.com for a very good price.

Kelly Purkey DD + Mini sneaksDecember Magic Kit: There are eighty-one days until Christmas and we're in elf mode over here putting together two great holiday kits for you! The December Magic kit is a kit of my paper loving dreams and full of custom letterpress prints, blind embossed cotton cards, screenprinted velllum, and foil cards. These are the kinds of things I want in my stocking! It also includes some gold embellishments, my favorite Heidi Swapp alphabet, a brand new stamp set for counting the days, and more. Christmas Spirits Mini Kit: If your holidays come with a side of snark (as mine often tend to do!) you'll find the Christmas Spirits mini kit right up your alley. This mini kit will be perfect for combining with the December Magic kit or other holiday products in your stash. Look for more sneak peeks and details coming soon and save the date for the kit release on October 21! ![]() Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/thumbnailer/Py5CZjV6UVvwdTzc3rnP.jpg)

Now must go put it on the calendar so that I don't accidentally make plans that day since my kids will be on fall break!

Well, she *thinks* it is an error in the inventory that occurred after packing and shipping. Just visited the FB group and all I can say is, Wow. Hollywood couldn't write a bigger comedy. Although, it is nice that SC is sending out nice messages to tell people they ain't getting what they thought they was getting. FWIW, they need to can their IT guy, scrap that computer system and get something that's reliable. It's NOT that hard in 2016 in the US to find tech people who can set up and maintain an online ordering and inventory system that doesn't frack up regularly. SaveSave

It still looks like the albums and the stamps that were sold out are still sold out on her site. So they weren't really sold out and the system said they were? or they were sold out and now they've found more stock somewhere?

Someone needs to elaborate on this debacle. It's seriously like watching the movie Titanic and hoping for a better outcome. Every single time.

Earlier today, the website had everything minus one silkscreen as being in stock. Customers on the FB group said they either had the items disappear from their cart but one lady was actually able to check out and complete the sale. She later got a message from customer service saying it was a mistake and the item wasn't available. Bottom line, when they started processing pre-orders it caused the sold out items to appear as available on the website even though they really aren't available.

Bottom line, when they started processing pre-orders it caused the sold out items to appear as available on the website even though they really aren't available. It wasn't just one lady.....there were quite a lot who managed to place orders. Everything was listed as available for about 20 minutes, so word got around fairly quickly via the Fb page..... Now there is still confusion a day later, as some people have received emails to say their orders were a mistake, but others haven't, so are still waiting to hear if they will get the items or not.... A bit of a mess for everyone! I'm not sure why all the out of stock items were transferred over to the regular shop anyway. They said they wouldn't be reordered, so why not just delete them from the system? It just made it confusing for people who saw them all there....

The funny thing is that I kind of get excited when I see them release a new collection and then when I see it I just sit there staring trying to figure out if I like it or not. I think my thing with them is that their collections seem to always border on cutesy to me. I'm not a fan of cutesy.
