I was happy to see they were selling the kits broken down into its components. I had to restrain myself to one stamp - liked all three. SaveSave

I got a notice that my DD box was shipping, but I didn't have a tracking #. I assume it will show up soon.
I will check out KP's release. Her DD is usually too Christmas-y for this non-celebrant not that I don't love looking at all of the Christmas stuff and use some of it, I just try to get more neutral holiday kits), but a 3 by 8 album is really intriguing, and I do like her style.

Quite frankly I tolerate alot and it takes alot to upset me, but I am really losing my patience over my December Daily order, it was almost 200 dollars and I can't get a straight answer from anyone at Ali's or Inked to give me a shipping notice and tracking number. I live in Ohio should have gotten one by now, there response is always the same get back to me by so and so day and when I do they then they move the answer to contact me again the next day. I have always had great Customer Service from Ali's until now. I have used there Chat box and there Contact Us option.

Yahooooooo! I finally got my kit. I am pleasantly surprised with how things look. I haven't had time to dig into all of it, but at first glance, things look to be cut correctly, and colors appear good. I'm losing count of who's ordered what. What's the kit you got? I'm hesitant about FYC. I like Comfort and Joy but I don't feel I like it enough. And the twelve days of Christmas is always a bit strange as a main design element for a December kit since it's after Christmas (which is ironic coming from me since we celebrate Epiphany over here ). I do appreciate the fact that I can buy the die-cut pack on its own! Will think it through a little longer. Who's still left having to find their kit for December documenting? Only the die-hard KP fans left waiting now?

What's up with the recycled tracking numbers on the Inked purchases? It's very confusing when you click on tracking and see the notation that the package was delivered 2/14/16. That's happened with my last two orders and I've never had it happen with any other brand's shipping notice. Is it a UPS problem?
This time my DD order also has a bunch of departure and arrival scans since shipping on 10/12 but no locations given.
Hoping for arrival tomorrow.

Only the die-hard KP fans left waiting now? I ended up ordering my album from ali + at the last second, ordered the Jasmine Jones kit to supplement the other stuff I already had. I didn't like the 'a' side of the cards, but the 'b' sides are something I can use. Oh, and I order the black and white cards. I didn't spend much - but more than I would have wanted to since she's linked to SC - but I did go through what I had already and only purchased what I knew I need to supplement. I am actually impressed with this years card weight & printing. The cards are cut well (no fraying like in the past). Really the only dislike I have is the paper circles in Jasmine's kit - they have no value to me. I was thinking they were vellum but alas, nope. Just regular paper circles. Oh well, it is what it is.

Ok listen. I know there are a lot of you chomping at the bit and still on the fence about Ali's million dollar chipboard bundle. I posted this on whambampam's 's thread after mom brought the bundle up. Here's a breakdown of how I convinced myself that I can use it outside of DD. 😂😂 Seriously, not trying to enable but before I bought the chipboard bundle I tried to see what I could use on a regular layout (PL spread in my case). I love her chipboard! This is what I figured out lol. Now, yes...the chip that has the word 'December' would have to be used on a December spread"(Christmas or any December holiday, birthday etc) but that's easy enough for me. Anything without the yellow dot is something I can use outside of Christmas only. 😛

nicolep ugh...you are tempting me. I wouldn't use any of the square pieces but I guess I could maybe sell those? 7 sheets of chipboard just seems like so much, you know? 1-3 sheets? I would be all in. But 7? I don't even have 7 colors of cardstock in my room.

nicolep Haha, you won't get to me with your reasoning and yellow dots and calculations! Glad to hear you're already working on other plans to get the most out of that investment though. mom I hadn't realised you got Jasmine's mini! Really nice to read you feel like that was the right decision to make now that you've got your goodies. I'm still in this zone where I feel I haven't found the "right" paper yet. So strange. Nothing's really appealing to me this year and it's the one year I could actually use some pretty papers...

It was one of those 'late night can't sleep' purchases. Her kit itself I didn't like. But once I realized the b sides were right up my alley, I caved in. And then immediately regretted it. Like I said earlier, I am happy now that I have them in my hands. SaveSave

Hey everyone! I had mentioned back at the start of the thread that I would have some digital cards available this year, and then life got so busy I never got around to "sneaking" them or creating any kind of build up whatsoever. Anyways, they are available in my shop and maybe you guys will appreciate the no-fuss approach better anyways . I also have 3 new flair sets and a few of my 2016 kits with the embellishments only (NO cards included) at a reduced price with a 2017 update so they can still be used this year. Stock is very limited on those, but I think they are a good price for what you get! You can find my etsy shop here!

Hearts in description are hers, not mine. 😊
Little disappointed. Debating on it. It’s more than a normal FJ monthly kit, so I’m happy about that. I think the heart washi tape is the exact same we got in October kit.
I do like the albums though.
ETA: I’ll probably cave and get it...not sure if I’m going to get an album not not. FJ papers are my style and I’ve used them for the entire year. My DD goes in my normal PL album, so it will be consistent.
Still debating.
