justlisa7 I bought the 6x8 paper pack and the papers are really nice! Good color and fairly thick without being too thick. Some of the patterns are a repeat of the ones in Ali's main kit but different color schemes. They have a grid pattern on the back that I like too. I checked my album's pp and mine are fine. I ordered the green star one.

Hey everyone! I got my foundation pages done and up on YouTube if anyone is interested. The quality on the cards in the 2017 kits is awesome! I also lucked out and got page protectors that were properly aligned (the ones in my album and the extras I ordered as well! phew!)

Your DD is just so beautiful and classy. I love narrowing down the choices to a few colors. I think I will try this so I won’t be so overwhelmed with too many choices. Can you share your blog link so I can follow in December?

Does anyone have any experience with the Echo Park 6x8 albums? That red plaid one is calling my name but I am not sure of their quality.

There is another store (that also accepts PayPal) that has these in silver also. I'll see if I can find them.

I even tugged at the ring attachment to see whether it would budge at all (nope). Even the gold metal corners seem well attached. However, please keep in mind that: - exterior is a velours/matte paper finish, not glossy (make sure your surface is super clean and clear of any liquids when using it) - interior is lined with a different pattern paper and I'm not loving it (mine is a black paper with white dots while I was hoping for a simple white finish #lessismore) It's a good buy for the price they're selling it at though (and at that price, comes without any page protectors). I just wish the interior did not have that black with white dots paper.

ojyma Great foundation pages! That really tempts me to give a try at foundation pages ahead of time. I loved the idea of cutting sets of numbers from the velvet paper like your number 22. I'll have to see if my Michael's carries that paper. sleepingbooty I wonder if you could cover up that interior, though being black maybe it'd just shadow through whatever you used. ![:-S](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wavey.png)

I was considering ordering it, and couldn’t find anywhere that told how big it was. My December Daily always ends up with a ton of pages, so I need the larger ring size.

Also, I'd have to lift the metal corners to tuck the paper in or the black woud still show. There's only that much hassle I'm willing to put a simple cardboard album through. I'll live. (I'll just moan about it while I work on on the pages through December. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) Does anyone know how big the rings are in the album? I was considering ordering it, and couldn’t find anywhere that told how big it was. My December Daily always ends up with a ton of pages, so I need the larger ring size. You'll probably want to pass on it then. Standard 6x8 album rings, not large rings. I'm a minimalist scrapper with little dimension so it's totally fine for me. But I doubt you'd be able to fit your DD in it if you have a ton of pages.

Yet ANOTHER screwup in DD. I ordered one of the December log books. I got this email: ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171027/957c2ea2979ee6d429daa43b675fc7e8.jpg) I can’t remember how many pages it should have, because of course Inked has removed all trace of the log book from the site, so if I click on the product from my order, I get that stupid bummer video. Seriously, I’ve had it. I ordered a product. I should be able to view that product’s description after my order to make sure it is correct. I got this also. I was glad they are contacting everyone, because I didn’t even think to count mine. I was actually kind of glad, because that was the one thing I bought that seemed severely overpriced, and kind of gave me buyer’s remorse. Now I will have 2 log books (if I understood the email right) for the price, which seems a little less ridiculous, and more reasonable for the price I paid for it. Since the one I got is usable, and I don’t plan on using one for every single day, I don’t mind that I’ll be getting the other one later. I could see being super frustrated if someone was trying to do foundation pages ahead of time, and didn’t have enough for what they were planning on though. And I also agree that it’s ridiculous that no one catches these things ahead of time. I can see a mistake happening once in awhile, but year after year, and one thing after another is completely ridiculous 🙄

TFS nicolep. I still don't understand how these can be so reasonably priced on Aliexpree & Amazon - when buyers aren't even buying in bulk - but just as one-offs. Wow.

Ha, that's awesome! I wonder why you can't see my picture. It was of a red knit dress with a fur collar and cuffs with a black belt and yellow felt "buckle." I made the belt and buckle because my 4-year-old said she wanted to be Santa for Halloween.
