Denine Marie used that 4x4 buildable album for WITL last year. She has a full walk thru of prep and completion. It’s bulky but it’s also great. I really wanted to try it after watching her videos. youtu.be/zREYMb68HYM |

I really wanted to try it after watching her videos. youtu.be/zREYMb68HYMAmy Gretchen did a 25-day December Daily in 4X4 this year. It was incredible. If she can do 25, someone could very easily WITL. I can't remember if she did spreads or single pages. I think it would be cool to use the kraft envelopes as the base and just put a couple of pages inside each one. Keep it simple. I think someone did that last year with the envelopes that came with the 2022 Travel collection. I don't remember seeing that finished so it might have been a suggestion when they went through the product. If you had the envelopes from the DD advent calendar that would also make for a cool album. |

I know it’s a long shot, but if anyone winds up with those puffy stickers and doesn’t want them, I’d be happy to buy them from you.

Just watched your 2022 video. I love what you did with the circles on the acetate. I have a circle punch so that's actually something I can replicate!
I also love the idea to have those 3X8 pages in there with the prompt on the front and a photo on the back.
Great album and you did a really good job with the video. Thank you! If you had the envelopes from the DD advent calendar that would also make for a cool album. I love that idea, I might pull those out to incorporate in my album. Thanks! |

I think I'm going to get some of this collection but for travel.....I like the idea of the plastic circles, journalling inserts, documenting pages and phrase stamp --- but total is $47.99 which is a lot . Decisions decisions

Ha! It is a good idea. I was thinking to make them the base of an album but how cool to use them as a component.
Punch holes and use them for packaging and receipts and stuff.

The advent envelopes from this past DD were made from very flimsy thin paper. I thought they were supposed to be a decently heavy Kraft, but they weren’t. I would hesitate to use them as a foundation for an album, they wouldn’t hold up.

I just need to figure out if I have all 1-7 from a past advent bc I typically use them for random days in DD. Also, anyone else having second thoughts about things you did not love, but now want? I told myself I was skipping this year, but I just looked through my older albums and even tho I never completely finish them, I kind of love what I did complete and seeing the pictures makes me happy I did it. I just went through my WITL and DITL stash and did not love anything I saw. Also went through Krystal's videos and my old albums and now the new stuff is growing on me! I also don't love the peach, BUT, it totally matches the new kit colors, so now I am rethinking that as well. Decisions! |

One of Ali’s stories yesterday said that the peachy Sunday tag on the chipboard was a production error and that they’ll include a digital version with the corrected tag for those who purchase the main kit.

Me!!! I keep a very small stash for WITL, one zipper envelope only. There isn’t enough product to create an album. WITL is my favorite yearly project so I’m making the best of it.
Currently debating the transparency dividers. I loathe her handwriting but will I regret not getting them? I’ve always used them in the past.

I just got the plastic circles and the morning/evening stamp because I could see myself combining those with things I have and get decent use from them. I also threw in the $10 evening stamp since it didn’t up my shipping and I’d have to pay shipping anyway.

The Kraft 6x8 Documenting Pages sold out in minutes as well. Weird. I was getting the digital anyway because of Ali's IG story saying they were offering them in a clear, white and kraft option for versatility so I can use them on a variety of papers. But, I found it funny that those pages sold out so fast.

Im looking at the plastic circles ---- some of them have the days of the week, but I don't see friday. Am I missing it? |

I also watched her lay them all out when confirm the days. Oops- quoted wrong thing —- mom |

I got the plastic circles, the morning/evening stamp and the imperfect journal cards. I had the Mini kit in my cart but actually only wanted the big chipboard words, all the gold in the rest of the items are too much for my liking.

Love those plastic circles! There are so many of them and I love that the little pie circles are all different color combos on them, they are not all the same. I got those and also got the morning/night stamp set. I almost got the mini kit too but I don’t like those funky/weird starburst shapes and the speech bubbles with the curly Q shape, don’t like the funky cloud shapes. The large white and gold chipboard words and the gold foil die cut words is what I really wanted. Hopefully I can get those separately in a sale in the future.

i wanted the Buy All and it was sold out in 3 minutes pfft! That is crazy! Guess they will be doing more of that in the future. For sure! Oh well now I don’t have to get that ugly peach album. I got everything except those circles (I don’t like them). Sadly missed out on those Kraft sheets (I also thought it was odd they sold out so fast) so I’ll probably get the digital or it looks easy enough to recreate if I decide to include something like that. |

I ended up getting the discounted organization box, the main kit (loving that we also get the digital kit), the mini kit bundle, the 6x8 album and the plastic circles. While I don't love the peach as much as the yellow albums, I do love a good 6x8 album and this one will match the colors of the WITL kits. I also decided I will use enough of both kits for this project and other PL stuff to justify the cost. Planning to pull in the following stash to use with the kits:
1. Kraft advent envelopes
2. DD gold numbered labels
3. Gold foil lined hearts from 2022 WITL
4. The Pleather days of the week from 2022 that are in my stash
5. 4x6 DITL 2022 Gratitude Cards
6. 2022 WITL and DITL Stamps
I am also considering buying digitals of the transparencies.

For the first time ever I did not buy a single thing.
Not sure how I feel about that. Maybe it’s the end of an era for me.

I got the things I wanted, with the exception of the kraft sheets. I will pick them up when they are available as digitals.

Me three! 🙋🏻♀️ Although, I did agree to split a pack of plastic circles with a pea.  I think I’ll do WITL, but I will make my own kit. I also still have the really old kit HSN sold years ago. I’ll go through that see what’s up. |
