I can't remember if pics of the full kits are released by Ali before ordering or not. Anyone remember? I hope they are released before ordering because otherwise it just seems sort of underhanded "make a quick decision or something may sell out". No I don't believe you get to see them before hand.

where are you seeing the rubber embellishments? If the time stamp doesn't work for some reason, fastforward to around 25:07.

Have we talked about the imperfect rubber embellishments already? The grey and light blue ones had problems with poor colour mixing when they were made so AE will be marking those sets down from $9.99 to 6.99. If you don't mind some light marbling on some of your rubber pieces, you'll be snatching up a great deal. I can't believe I'm genuinely considering buying Liz's mini and the rubber pieces. Ugh, the new shiny products vortex... I don't know that I would call that a great deal. Honestly, those shapes aren't worth $1 each so $9.99 for 10 is ridiculous. $6.99 is better, but not a "great deal". $6.99 should be the price point without imperfections.

I should have been more precise: it's a great deal considering the inflated official DD item price tags! Obviously, in the general landscape of scrapbooking, it's still pricey. Like all the other AE DD stuff. *deep sigh* *fatalist shrug*

Can you imagine walking into Michaels or somewhere and thinking that was a reasonable price? I get that she's a "niche" brand, but come on. There are a million other (better) reasonably priced holiday craft items out there. Just say no to this craziness!

No I don't believe you get to see them before hand. Thanks for clarifying! From what I remember, you get sneaks and sneaks and then the full reveal is when you can start ordering. It definitely adds to the "FOMO" and clicking super fast so you don't have to lose out on something. Then again, if KP would open blind pre-ordering for her kits (with basic info like album size) I would probably do that in a heartbeat.

Especially since Ali's site usually crashes when ordering opens and veterans know this so they'll be more likely to just click away. I bet that's not intentional or anything.

(Wink) *posts lying in bed with SO selfie on IG* (Wink wink) Especially since Ali's site usually crashes when ordering opens and veterans know this so they'll be more likely to just click away. I bet that's not intentional or anything. It takes maaany years of the same coincidence happening at the exact same moment for highly trained scientists to figure out theories ( or increase server capacity), tsk tsk.

(Wink) I do appreciate her being upfront about it though and she did say they will post a picture on the website so people could see an example. You all know, as well as I do, that Studio Calico wouldn't have said a damn thing and would have sold them for 9.99. When poeple got them and they were upset April would have said they were supposed to be that way and the customers could suck it. Ali has integrity in regards to her customer service.

Elle's Studio had a new sneak today of some letter and word stickers that I really like. Not sure if we already knew this but her Christmas kit will launch at the end of September. (Sorry, don't know how to share a photo from IG. I wish businesses would share sneaks somewhere else where it's easier to find and share. )

I like the alphas and hope she continues to release them in other colors.

Doesn't get the description but it's good enough)

I can't tell how much I wish this month's subscriber special from Elle's Studio was a coupon code, not just a handful of items marked down just for us, lol. I know I need the Family Fun line, but damn...the Christmas stuff is exciting, too. It sounds like the Christmas stuff won't come out until after the 10th, though, so maybe I can just grab more next month. Her shop is about the only one that can get me to pay full price!

(Sorry, don't know how to share a photo from IG. I wish businesses would share sneaks somewhere else where it's easier to find and share. ) For anyone wondering how to share a social media post on here, here's a quick and easy tutorial. Click on the </> button ('Insert Embed' when you hover over it) in the tool bar of 'Create Post' when you're typing out a reply to a thread or starting a new thread. It's the second to last button in the tool bar, sandwiched between the two smiley faces. A new frame will appear with the logos of several social media you can directly share from. Click on the appropriate option. Another frame will appear. Paste the direct URL of the social media post you wish to share in there. Hit the 'Embed' button and voilà. Done.

Thank you for sharing that! Sorry for the non DD content, I just picked an older post of mine. So cool! Beautiful ocean and sea pictures are always welcome, never off topic!

Also, FYI: If you don't mind printing, I always like Geralyn Sy's printable holiday/Christmas cards and other embellishments.
I think I'm going to do a mix of that and Kelly Purkey's this year. Maybe get an album from Ali.

Got an email from Ali showing the DD kits in full. Just thought I would let everyone know if you want to have a look.
