Interesting - and obviously Elle Studio is releasing so early to try to pull in as many sales as possible before people start buying Ali's and other competitor's stuff. And I'm here for all of it. My birthday is next week, so this will be a gift to myself I cannot recall Ali ever going live this early. Normally it is after 11 her time, so I feel like this was an intentional move. I think someone’s getting nervous. I would be too if my big release for the year was titled “Decemeber daily”. |

I think if I go and take a look at all of my supplies I will be inspired and realize I don't need more at the moment. Anyone else in this boat? I have an ongoing Christmas album. We don't do a lot at Christmas. I usually try to at least get a photo of my three kids together. The rest is extra.  |

Am I the only pea annoyed at sneak peaks? I want to see the whole thing, scrutinize every item, and decide if I want to buy. Has Elle's Studio even shown the actual kit yet? I guess I'm too cheap to buy based on a few pictures. I DO love the bright colors that are traditional.

Very smart of Elle's Studio to be prepared, have product in hand, and just sit back and wait to release before AE brand. Competition is good and hopefully this pushes AE brand to up their Decemeber game.

Being in Australia I won’t be getting up in three or so hours to watch Ali live, or be up for Elle’s Studio, but I really like what I’ve seen of ES so far and hope there’s still good stuff left in my morning! As for AE, I definitely want an album as I prefer lots of rings, but I will go with a snap if I can’t get one, and while I don’t think I’ll get the main kit, I suspect I’ll find lots of extras and add ones to buy next week. I’m also after some of MME this year as it’s really pretty. DD fever has begun 😂

DD fever has begun 😂 I'll be up, but my employer would not be thrilled if I spent 30+ minutes watching a facebook live video at 10 AM on a Wednesday (although I am on here...lol). Seriously though, why doesn't she ever do these things on a weekend? I get that she wants to work normal hours, but so do most of her customers!! Even stay at home parents still have their kids on summer break... I don't see how this is a good time for anyone. |

Well this is interesting that she is releasing these journals now, when the products aren’t out yet.  |

I fear I will be buying an album and the clear sheets. Probably all I can afford. |

Like seriously. I said I would never do a DD album again because it took me so long to finish the last one, but this kit really makes me want to do DD. It has some fresh new elements from the designers she has contributing but still manages to feel like Elle's Studio.

I think its interesting the views on Ali's video dropped 300-ish well Elle's Studio products went live.

Ok, I just have to say that I love how different we all are! I took a quick look at the ES kit and don't like a thing about it lol!
I'm at work so didn't get to watch the FB live of Ali's but I'll catch up with it later.

I like the Elle’s kit, but I am still holding out for FYC.
I am going to pick up a few add ons from Elle’s kit, I do love her alphabets and tags.

Watching the video - I am surprised at how little Ali actually knows about her own products. Her constant reading of her post it notes was distracting. Some posted that you need 13 sets of numbers to get 1-31. Wtaf. And everything today is just add ins. These people are crapping themselves with excitement, not really they’re already $200 in for this album. |

I will be in the minority here...I wanted to love Elle's Studio, but I could not. I used some of their products last year (which were great!) but these feel far too samey for me.
I liked some of Ali's items: colourful cards (better for us in Southern Hemisphere, thank you!), Jasmine's specialty cards (nice embossed cards), transparencies (always great), maybe puffy stickers...but again there was a certain samey, same feel. And some of the prices were astronomical! I was hoping for more album choice as well... I will wait and see how Ali's main kit strikes me or Paislee Press's kit. I did find it interesting Brandi Kincaid did the kid's kit (I thought it looked like her! Go Brandi!) and a stamp set for Ali.
So far my favourite December Daily products this year...Crate Paper Merry Days. It feels fresher at least. I like the yellow as I love scrapping with yellow.
This highlights part of my current issues with the scrapping products in general: everything is too samey same...mix it up, be more creative! Please...it is the only thing that will keep customers and this business alive.

Too much pink in Elle's kit for my taste. I really wanted the circle number stickers so bad and was hoping they would be offered separate oh well. I did order quite a bit of the extras in the shop.

Yes, they went up in january of this year to $24.99, which I still say is a good deal with all the page protectors included. For me in Australia anyway... |
