Exactly. A small fortune for sure. I'm going to gather what PP's I have in my stash and see what I need to fill in with and what it would cost me. "Can I make it with my stash?" DDers be like: I think I could make DD with my stash for at least a decade - including page protectors! 😳 #myshoppingcartwasbiggerthanmyfreetimeforscrapping

I mean, you don't really have anything that could work in lieu of [insert name of whichever adorable goodies you just came across on the new products page of your fave scrap retailer]? Do we know when these will be available and if only to subbers? Mid-ish October when the Christmas kits launch (I can't find any exact dates but KP did mention she's making bundling with the monthly kit available to subbers). They ought to be made available to everyone. Can't remember if KP is giving a few extra hours to the subbers first or not for these Christmas products. Can anyone help?

sleepingbooty you enablers already got me to buy the SC kits with the code this month! (They should arrive tommorrow!) She usually allows subscribers to purchase 2 hours earlier than others. While this is a problem for nonsubscribers during sales, I doubt it will be a problem for the DD kits. I know she broke up the DD kits during maybe her spring cleaning sale or the summer sale - I bought extras of the cards, including the letter press ones.

KP sent out an email today with unboxing videos- there is a YouTube channel, and she is going to post the DD kits there at some point.

She's been very inactive on it this year.

Gaahh! I love you so much! So tell me, how do you guys print these? And another question, is it possible to use the digital stamps on your phone and add them to your photo somehow and then send them off to be printed? I hope that makes sense. Each image comes by itself OR on a PDF sheet with multiple images. So if you don't want to mess around in Photoshop or an image editing program, you can easily just print out the PDF sheet(s). If you don't have a printer at home, you can go to any office supply store or FedEx Office (aka Kinkos) to print them. I'm not a good person to answer the digital stamps question because I rarely use them, and if I do, it's in Photoshop. I know there are some apps out there that can accommodate them, though! You can use Dropbox and the LetterGlow app to add digital stamps to photos on your iPhone.

[quote source="/post/1828001/thread" timestamp="1502037348" sleepingbooty[/a][/span] , So do you piss off your subscribers by assuming they are all Christian or do you just make it optional. AE's religious DD stuff this year did not sell out. Jasmine's mini kit and religious card set were both non-successes. Not sure if going full Christian is a smart business move in today's December scrapbook kit market. [/quote] I think part of the problem is Jasmine's 2015 and 2016 kits are so similar to this year's kit that the people who really like the Christian Christmas nature of them probably already have enough of her designs. Personally, I am waiting for it to go on sale next year (I bought just the cards during the last sale). Also, her kits were the first to sell out in both 2015 and 2016, so it's nice Liz got a chance to have the most popular kit. As far as AE's religious DD card set goes, I found the designs rather uninspired and cliche (and overpriced) - but I think that statement goes for all of the DD offerings this year. Depending on how cheap it goes, I may pick a set up during a sale.[/quote] The preponderance of Christian-centric text dissuaded me from picking up Jasmine's kit (at least thus far, ha!) - I really liked some of the patterned papers, -'s felt they would mix well with the Kelly Purkey 2015 kit I picked up last year and used for my last December Daily as well as with the ABM kits from 2016 and 2015. Granted, I don't NEED another kit, (I have stash dating back to 2009/2010 that has been included in my 2016 December Daily), so I may be pickier than many people. I'm not Atheist, either, just not overtly Christian, /9 the sheer number of pages/cards including Biblical references just seemed like overkill to me.

foucaultgirl I'm Christian (but not super super religious), and I agree with you. I want something inspirational that captures the magic of Christmas.

I'm currently doing a vertical 4x6 October Daily album with simple chipboard covers and a couple of rings. I'm working mostly without page protectors. I make sure I use nice thick cardstock whenever possible to help reinforce the pages that are not going into PPs. sleepingbooty Will you please share some photos of this project as you go? It sounds lovely.

A few finds in case it's helpful to some of you. If you're looking for something similar to AE's sold out glitter stars, SC sells a smaller version in their Sparkle class kit (that was about 3$ during MMS). For acrylic shapes and (mostly) French words, here is a French Canadian shop. They're mostly not my style, but I like some of their Christmas offers. boutique.limecitron.com/boutique/fr/acrylique-mots-et-formes-c125/

While I don't create a December Daily project, I enjoy this thread for the product eye candy & fresh ideas to approach holiday pages. I was reminded of it when I saw two pegs packed with Thickers 25 Days at Hobby Lobby yesterday afternoon. I hadn't been to the store in over a year, so uncertain if these Thickers are a regularly stocked item or new for the holidays. HTH documenters still looking for a numbers set for their annual project. www.hobbylobby.com/Scrapbook-Paper-Crafts/Stickers/Gold-25-Days-Chipboard-Stickers/p/146602

Being a French Canadian shop is even better as I'm about 45 minutes away so if shipping is too high I can ask a friend to take delivery for it and run up to visit and pick up the package! sleepingbooty Please tag me when you post pics of your project too. I'd love to see it. Your description sounds fascinating but I'd really love to see pictures!

I'm glad you found this helpful! Finding scrap supplies in French can be so hard. Maybe we can create a thread? :-) As for shipping, you shouldn't have any problems. I think I paid less than 3euros for a padded enveloppe with acrylic shapes and words, chipboard shapes and two packs of journaling cards.

I posted this on the AE thread as well, but thought I would mention it here too. It seems like AE will be making 3×8 albums in the near future. AE commented on a facebook thread that they might have some coming soon.

There was a problem with one of the items (the little clips) in this month's kit so everything got delayed. They got stuck in customs. I'm thinking the kits will ship this week but not sure. The email about the delay came 6 days ago but I have not gotten a notice to say my kit has shipped. I really hope the come soon.

SaveSaveYeah I'm really surprised she hasn't. I'd really like to see pictures of the full kit too. Sigh. I was however using my Kate kit tonight and I really do love my FJ sub. It could be the end of Oct, & I imagine I will still order. I guess I am a captive audience. Heh.

The package of Pinkfresh December Days I ordered arrived from MeiLi the other day. I love it! I'm so pleased to see something fresh and different and I'm really looking forward to creating a distinctive 2017 journal with it. I'm not a pre-planner though, so won't be doing much prep, and what doesn't get done in December or very early January just won't get done. I guess I'm just a "Christmas in December" kind of person.
I'd like to ask a favour from those of you with better access to 'real'supplies than me, please. Can someone please tell me the best match in plain cardstock for the blue, green and red in that Pinkfresh collection? I'm sure there was a site that matched up Bazzill colours to patterned papers, but right now, I can't find it. All advice gratefully received though!

Wow. I guess I don't understand why she can't open the preorder if she is waiting on the regular kits? I dunno. This feels really 'thrown together at the last moment'. The problem with FJ is that she ends up making her business look so unprofessional. That's my interpretation as an "outsider" (non-subber). Poor communication, unclear dates, regular delays without proper explanation, shifting schedules, etc. If you're a regular kit club in the SB world, you can't get to mid-October without having a clear December kit schedule (which includes the date ordering opens at the very least) and proper sneaks. FJ is too big in the kit game for these delays, lack of clarity and overall lateness to the game. You can get away with it if you're a small indie designer like KP but otherwise, nope. Considering how much money scrapbookers pour into Christmas and December stuff, you are making poor business decisions if you're not cashing in early. Those kits could represent a serious chunk of your annual income.

Those kits could represent a serious chunk of your annual income. I totally agree with this. I was really excited about seeing this year’s Felicity Jane December Daily kit, and was planning on ordering it. Now I am at the point that I have spent enough money on December Daily supplies that I don’t know that I’ll be able to justify the expense. The problem for me was that without seeing sneaks in early September when other kits were coming out, I wasn’t able to make a decision on if it would be worth it to me to wait, and pass up on other stuff that I really liked that might sell out. I ended up caving, and buying some stuff from Ali, Elle’s Studio’s kit, and some Simple Stories. I was checking Felicity Jane every day in September for sneaks. If they would have just shown what the kit was going to consist of, I probably would have been willing to hold out and not order as much from other places. By October, I’m kind of over the frenzy, and excitement of ordering, and the FOMO that I have in August/September, and starting to save money for presents, and other holiday stuff. I feel like if I was going to produce a December kit, I’d want to get it sneaked around the same time as all of Ali’s stuff so maybe people wouldn’t spend as much on her stuff, and consider mine while the hype and excitement of December Daily was at its peak. I also realize that I’ve never ran a kit club, and it’s probably easier said than done😂🙈. I love Felicity Jane, and I’m crossing my fingers (but not holding m breath😂) that next year they do a December kit, and show it to us in early September🤞🏻 Sorry for the novel. I always read, and never post, so I guess I was just storing it all up😬 I LOVE this thread, and read it every day, so thanks to the OP. I’m so excited for December!!🎄

I'm also unsure now about the full kit
I've already bought tons of Christmas supplies and her sneaks so far have nothing that excites me. I also bought the new fancy pants Christmas collection and the papers give me the same fj type of vibe
