It seems a lot just aren't too happy with the selections this year. I'm still debating Elle's studio but even though I like most of the kit there are a few things I don't really need. Then again there is only a small bit that I don't like. I really don't need more stuff though and am trying to refrain from buying more. The sale only goes this weekend I think she said then it goes up. I have to admit the price of shipping totally slowed me down and kept me from clicking buy. I was hoping for less than 30 for the kit with maybe $5 for shipping. I dont mind having to add the dates as then I can control the color myself and I already own her date stamp. I am curious to see Jen Schow when she does an unbocibg this weekend. She did one for Ali and one for Felicity Jane which I really didn't like the colors on. You saw sneaks of FJ's kit for this year? I haven't seen any, and they're my favorite! Yes Jen Schow did one on YouTube she just posted it yesterday. It had a lot of nice things I just wasn't crazy about the colors. I assume it was the Christmas kit. It was called Hello Christmas. She also had one for last year but this was just posted. I was looking for one for Elle's Studio and found this instead. I really liked the transparencies in the FJ kit.

I think she normally announces pretty late though...like October.

She was doing an unboxing and it sounded like it was new and was talking about the unboxing she just did for Ali the day before. The one from last year had more traditional deep colors this looked more black and white and coral. She mentioned the name and I think she said it was the same name as last year. I didn't look last year but there was another one posted from last year and the colors looked different.

Maybe she posted it and removed it because she was too early, and you are the only one who saw it? Do you have a link or a screenshot?

I am determined to finish this year, not just collect supplies. I've pulled out my treasured October Afternoon stash and will finally put it to good use. I'm page planning already and pumped for December to start!

I just went back and couldn't find the video so I continued looking and then found it and I would have sworn it said it was new in the last few days but you are so right this was last year. It popped up after watching the reveal for the current Ali's kit. I am horrible at finding new videos for people I am following but I really thought it was within the last few days not 10 months ago. No idea how I could have made that mistake. I really was looking to see if it was new as I didn't want to watch anything from last year. I don't buy FJ so no idea what their kit looked like last year. I am curious now about this years kit but then again I cannot buy any more. Sorry about the confusion.

Thanks for posting the video! The kit's really not for me but I'm sure it'll find plenty of takers.

Brandi posted a sneak of some of her new Christmas stuff on InstaStories. I'm glad they're going to have more embellishments for this kit.

If I were doing a DD, this is the kit I would buy! I love the traditional colors.

I wouldn't get it done without the album with page protectors from AE. The 3 x 8 size protector I always use in addition to the regular ones. I would love some pieces of Elle's studio too - seems like most of us fall in that group. With so many different offerings now, I find I'm looking at everything coming out and buying some individual items from AE (no kit this year) and hopefully some other bits from Brandi or KP. Otherwise, I've got a huge stash that gives me no excuse to go shopping for more... I have loved AE's kits - I think 2013 was my favorite, but honestly I need some new look to the cards. They are really consistent from year to year, but I don't want black and white little trees or hand written plus signs or hand drawn ^ symbols anymore. Those are the cards that get thrown back in the box and really never come out again. I need to feel like there's something new and exciting about the card designs, so that leaves me to go to different designers because AE has not shown any tendency to evolve with her designs. mom I have the same issue with numbers because I'll use so many different ones in one album. It's become a treasure hunt to find the number I need for a certain day - so I did buy the black number set from AE this year. nicolep that link is really helpful. I checked out the simple stories very merry kit just to see how it's displayed and think the album, stickers and washi tape are all great! link

I need to have an Ali album and page protectors. I just don't love the other brands as much as I do Ali's. In fact, I just organized my leftover page protectors from last years December Daily and pulled out all my 6-hole page protectors. I made a list of what I have - I *probably* need a few of the 4A size protectors, but not sure I will add any or not to my box.

3x8 page protectors are really easy to make with the Fuse tool. I don't know why I waited so long to buy the Fuse. It's been such a useful page protector ally. People in Europe: Kesi'Art sells them for the universal two-ring system as well. Even a little cheaper than Ali's.

Thanks for sharing the link to the video. It about made me motion sick the way she sped up flipping the cards over, plus the speed up didn't give much of a chance to view each card. I wish Jen Schow would do a video for it.

Goodness. I am going through my Christmas stash to get my Dec Daily kit together and I cannot believe how many random sets of numbers I have. No complete sets, mind you. Its crazy. You can color them all the same (embossing would be perfect) so they all coordinate but are different sizes, material, font for interest.

Don't you know babies suck part of their mother's brain out while gestating? I hear that's how the human race has managed to evolve and become smarter with each generation...
