What's with Felicity Jane's product pics? Most are digital mock ups and only one pic of each DD album? Ehhh...not biting. That's what keeps me from purchasing. Has anyone ever had this issue with FJ?

Yeah, she usually posts digital mock ups of things. I'm not a fan of the way she displays kits on her website, but the quality is always there when I've placed orders.
As far as this kit though -- hard pass from me. I don't like the colors, it doesn't seem Christmassy to me and a lot of it seems pretty boring. But then, FJ's thing is really her florals and those just don't fit Christmas to me. So props for trying--but I wish she would've gone with a poinsettia if she was committed to keeping florals in the Christmas kit.

Has anyone in this group used the Ali Edward 6x8, 4x6, or 3x4 templates in their December Daily? What about the Paislee Press "December You Are My Fave" templates? If you've used them, did you print your images out on photo paper at home, or did you use a photo printing service? Was using them worth the effort? Thanks! Are you talking about the digital template overlays or just digital cards? I'm curious about the digital template overlays, thanks.

I order $20 worth, after shipping. I think FJ missed out on a great opportunity to do something spectacular - but the roses aren't cutting it for me. There are so many other Christmas flowers that could have been used vs. the rose that she uses all the time (I would love seeing a paper white!). SaveSave

I have used the 6x8 templates (not the overlays). I just uploaded them to persnickety prints. Thanks for the feedback! I didn't even realize Persnickety Prints did 6x8" . ^___^

I have used both of those companies templates. At the time (last Christmas) my Target was printing 6x8 photos so I sent them to Target and had them printed. I am not sure my Target still offers 6x8 (I should check that) but I also have my own photo printer so I would be open to using that as well if I had to. SaveSaveI'll definitely have to check into Target for printing, too. Once you had the photos printed out, did you embellish them, or was it basically a completed page for you once it was printed?

Glad I'm not the only one not feeling it with the FJ kit. I think you all described it much better than I could have, and helped me to understand why I wasn't really loving it. Normally I love all her kits, but this one I just feel "meh" about. And the timing is also bad, I hope she works harder to get it out earlier next year.

Patience is not a virtue with Inked, it's a requirement. That's for sure. It says it will be delivered by the end of the day tomorrow and you can't deliver a package if it is still sitting in a warehouse.

My DD has finally shipped and status changed on AE to shipped. My story kit and stamp kit however are still active and no shipping notice, But the thing is, this isn't the first time there's been shipping issues. Most months my Story & Stamp kits will tell me "yay! your order is on it's way!" Which means my credit card was charged right on the 15th and the label has been printed. But then the link to USPS will take a few days to get in their system and then it will finally ship 3-5 days AFTER the label was printed. Add in super slow shipping and it regularly can take up to 2 weeks to get a package from KY to CT. At which point the hype and excitement for the new kit is gone. So it feels like a sneaky way to trick people into thinking their order is on it's way and delay the "when is my order going to ship" questions. Print the shipping labels the day the orders ship! UPS SurePost just stinks all around. I'd much rather pay extra for better shipping - but maybe this is happening with the add ons..... will have to see...

I'm curious about the digital template overlays, thanks. I've used them in the past and printed them both at home and at Costco. They worked just fine for me, but you do have to watch where the cropping lines are either way. ETA: I've embellished after printing or just slid them right in. Depends on my mood.

I finally got a shipping notice too. I was hoping to get my order a little sooner than then end of the month though. If I'm lucky it will be here next Tuesday (23). Last year I had my foundation pages done and up on YouTube by the 28 of October. No way I will be that early this year.

I know lately without the add ons it isn't getting here for almost 2 weeks. Totally not excited about it anymore with the long waits and now they are admitting up front it's going to be even later this month. Hoping my DD gets here when it's supposed to but not going to be surprised if it takes an extra week since that's ups surepost. They send it everywhere but to your city lol. Hoping this package breaks the cycle.

I finally got a shipping notice today too. It's being sent UPS Sure Post, which I absolutely despise. I really don't see how it's that much cheaper to send this way but maybe it is. On another note, I'm really thankful Katie posted here to let us know what has been going on, especially since SC closed down the message board and there isn't a board for all of Ali's products around anymore. Not all of us use Facebook, so thank you, Katie! Mine was surepost but I got lucky and UPS delivered it directly since they were "going to be in the area". I have this happen with some frequency. Maybe you will get lucky too.

I got my FYC order today (ordered on Sunday, shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday). I got Brandi's kit and I'm super happy with my purchase. The die cuts are my favorite item. Really cute in person!

Well, after debating all day over the Felicity Jane release, I finally placed my order. I couldn’t justify the kit, but bought a few of my favorite pieces. I got the die cuts (might use these in my planner), journaling cards, washi, word stickers, chipboard circles, & the tags. I’ve never purchased from them before, so I’m excited to try out a few products. I resisted the stamps...for now. I would like to go back later and buy a few non Christmas items from them. Maybe if there’s another sale sometime.

Well darn I am not a subber and I don't want the whole kit but man I love the stamp in the main kit from Kelly Purkey and I love the 3x8 album. I need to stop looking at everyone offering Christmas products.

I haven't checked in here for a while and wow, boy... I'm glad I didn't order any official DD product. Surely it shouldn't be this messy... I managed to space out enough over the weekend to miss out on Brandi's FYC kit, but I picked up the die cuts. If I'd checked in here I would've remembered. It's probably for the best (for my wallet). I like the papers and the die cuts but I don't really need the stamp, and I still have papers left from last year. The die cuts will be enough. sleepingbooty it was pages ago now but you commented on the 12 days of Christmas theme - American advertisers have promoted a bogus notion that the 12 days of Christmas are BEFORE Christmas, not after. Most people don't know what or when the 12 days are and most people here seem to be completely done with Christmas by Dec 26th. I really didn't understand the 12 days until I did Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas which runs all the way to Epiphany - I did some reading to learn more about the old world traditions. We sang about it in NZ, and we took down our tree on/by Jan 6th, but I didn't really know why.

You're not sick again are you?!? name: sleepingbooty occupation: disappointment joblackford Thank you for explaining! I guess I'll file this under 'American paradoxes'? The US comes across like a hyper Christian nation to this old continenter but there's a misunderstanding of something as basic and fundamentally Christian as the revelation of God incarnate through Jesus? No offense meant to anyone, by the way! It's genuinely surprising and odd. Surely, some people or children must wonder why twelve days if it's being interpreted as before Christmas. It seems like (and actually is) such an arbitrary number in that context. Reclaim the twelve days, American Peas, and do like the rest of us: give yourself an excuse to pig out just as you've recovered from the Christmas and New Year's Eve dinners. Yeah, why else do you think ye olde disbelieving Europe is still celebrating Epiphany? Three Kings' cake (which in my region is a big brioche topped with glazed fruit and a little porcelain charm hidden somewhere in it; whoever finds it is declared king or queen for the day)!

My DD is officially with UPS (Surepost) and is set to arrive Friday. I'll let you know how it goes. The KP reveal in the newsletter made me a little sad because I prefer the colors of the 3x8 kit, but want all 3 stamps.. LOL!
