The knitted sneak looks like a pillow cover to me. Maybe she's branching out her seasonal decor items? We can only hope it’s a highly limited once in a lifetime opportunity back by popular demand severely overpriced notebook. Oh no, wait, that’s another company 🤣 Claws back in now 😇 |

I like the scandi-esque stars in that wreath sneak. If they aren't sold alone and I'm not into the rest, that is actually something I could make on my own from the digital file.
I still have wooden stars from a previous december daily. Or maybe they are from studio calico.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Anyone else thinking that the floral background shown in the newsletter will be on a 6X8 album?

Yeah that would make sense. |

Anyone else thinking that the floral background shown in the newsletter will be on a 6X8 album? I do think it's an album cover - I wondered if it could be a 'bind it yourself' album. The only thing that makes me think it's not an album is that it's very close to last years floral album and I am not sure AE would do one so similar in back to back years. But maybe? |

I like quite a lot of what's been sneaked so far. So much for not buying much this year!

It looks like they are still planning on having 10 X 8 as a size. I will still probably buy the vellum sheets and cut them up. I regretted not getting the specialty papers last year. All gold foil so far--hopefully some silver will show up. https://www.instagram.com/p/CviJ9CssMVC |

Ali is doing a new class called Start Here. I'm intrigued and am considering signing up, but I have such a backlog of classes I've yet to look at that I should just pass on it. I just signed up for this class. It starts during my vacation, so perfect timing. Also gearing up to do DS's high school scrapbook and I'm looking for inspiration. I have to admit, I only noticed this class because I came here looking for DD sneaks - somehow it didn't ping my radar at all. But I'm excited for the content! |

As per use', I am attracted to the Paislee Press products in the sneaks. Nothing really excites me this year? It feels pretty much seen-it-before. Anyone else left with this impression? Thanks for sharing the sneaks, mom . It's been a hectic week and I'd missed some. |

Thanks for sharing the sneaks, mom . It's been a hectic week and I'd missed some. Same impression here. I’m bored with the AE wood nymph aesthetic. I don’t like the mix of reds or green colors Ali prefers. Her vibe has not been up my alley for a few years. I am enjoying other brands and have not missed AE at all. Last year I was obsessed with Simple Stories Mix & A-Mingle line and purchased way too much. It was different, bright, and happy. I think this year I’ll mix what I already own with a few papers from the new Vicki B and Paige Evans Christmas lines. ETA I detest the periwinkle color Paige likes. I wish she’d use a different purple. |

I still have all of last year's product unopened in the shipping box. It didn't arrive until the beginning of November so I never had time to use it. I'm thinking I'll skip a 2022 album and use last year's product for this year's album. shrug |

I regretted not getting the specialty papers last year. Same. That's just not something you can make on your own. |

Not feeling it at all this year. Not a fan of the colors, and the designs look same old.

Last year I was not happy about the collection at first. Then I caved and bought a fair amount, but not the Paislee Press - which of course then sold out. I ended up getting the digital PP kit and printing a fair amount of it. I won't make that mistake again. did not love the mix of reds at first, but then I ended up really enjoying the mix of things in the collection. Loved the specialty papers and had accidentally bought 2 of those and used up a fair amount of both.
I don't love the wooden stars in the sneaks just bc I think the wood is not super scrapbook/long term friendly, but otherwise I am excited about what I see so far. I always love this project and I am sure this year that will continue.
I will say that I am most excited about 49 & Market's new Christmas collection. I just bought a good chunk of it at ACOT.
Looking forward to more Ali sneaks. Definitely want to see the 6x8 album option(s). I love the JOY album from last year and it is PACKED.

Is there ever any silver?? My thoughts exactly! Save for my craft room peacock tree and decorations we don’t use much gold at all around the house. And we both typically dress in cool colors. Of course, I don’t do DD  But I like the concept and we love, love, love Christmas (married December 22 we love it that much) so I am considering scaling it down and adapting it for my regular holiday 12 x 12 album. As for the sneak peak I like the stars, the vellum, the red numbers, and I need the bah humbug tag in my life. So I can see myself getting some of the specialty paper and embellishments and using them with other lines. |

I like to get Ali’s stuff , à la carte. I don’t really like kits- they always include too many pieces I don’t care for and I like to really mix it up in my album and use things from a lot of sources. So far I like the red numbers, the wooden stars, and the green labels with phrases/words. I used a lot of that type of thing in both my dd last year and my PL for December.

Sorry to break the dd train but I have an off the cuff query - I am never able to buy the story kits through subscriptions (no credit card!) I do buy them when they’re for sale, but is there ever a way to get or buy access to the classes for the kits? Thanks peas

I can't remember the last time she did that. I usually don't purchase older classes since I'm still catching up with the content I've purchased through subs! Her Story Kit class for "First" is offered for free--don't know if you have that one already. I remember using my debit card for a subscription awhile back--does AE no longer do that? Or did you mean you would prefer PayPal? |

Or did you mean you would prefer PayPal? Thanks for the response! I saw the firsts story kit class and snapped it up for free but I don’t have that kit and was trying to get some scrap lift inspiration for the kits I do have 😁 Re payments, I’m an aussie pea and have to pay for orders through PayPal (no credit/debit card, just a good old fashion eftpos account with money in it!) and for some (stupid) reason they won’t let you buy subs that way through the website. Sigh. I’ll keep my eye out for future sales, I didn’t notice a stories revisited sale this year so maybe there’ll still be one? |

I'm going to need to see how people use those photo frames.
I feel like I had some back in the day, perhaps Basic Grey. I just put a photo in one and it had its own tab on it so I made it so you could lift it up and there was something underneath.
I love the star pattern on that box.
