Updated OP with Photoplay's very specifically themed Muttcracker collection for the pet owners. Feliz Navidog!  OMG I might need to make a set of cards with that cut apart sheet... Looking again, I'm loving most of the Photoplay. Ever since my kids got too old for Christmas cards, I have been torturi  ng the pups. |

Kringle and co looks pretty but I am probably going to use whatever cocoa daisy releases and nothing else. I’m thinking of dumping out all of my Christmas stash. It’s overwhelming which fills me with dread. Do time to shake things up!!

Earlier this year I bought a Christmas paper pad on clearance,used some, but there's still plenty left.
My goal this year is to only use the paper I already have, and jazz it up by buying more embellishments.
(But man, that Kringle line is cool!) 😃

Everyone with too much Christmas stash should join the card swap this year. That’s how I get rid of my old Christmas stuff. Simple cards using lots of paper.

Man, that Kringle in the Holly Jolly colors would've been my jam. So far, I'm not looking forward to Christmas yet, but thanks for starting this thread sleepingbooty I'm sure by September we'll all be chomping at the bit. |

It’s overwhelming which fills me with dread. Do time to shake things up!! After this past Christmas I dumped everything out and seriously weeded through it all. I bet I got rid of 70% of what I had. I was just tired of it. I could (and will) probably go through it again once I see what DD looks like from a few companies. But it was so freeing to get rid of the crap I had used for years. It was like a weight had been removed. I went from 3 boxes of stuff, down to just one. I could get rid of more, too. I have a hard time getting rid of Christmas stamps even though I almost never use them. |

When I went through my stash I found stuff that was so, so old. Stuff that was given to me that I felt obligated to keep. Nope. Out it went. If I didn't love it (excluding my stamps) then out it went. |

Separate out the love from the "what was I thinking?" and see if I can make a slew of cards to clear that stuff out. I too am overwhelmed by my Christmas stash, it's overwhelming and disorganized! |

You know my 15 yo homeschooling kid would love to do this. Plus it would help her letter writing skills. Thanks for the idea! |

I like the Heidi Swapp. You're right, there really are a lot of vintage style collections there. Hers is my favorite of the group! |

Plus it would help her letter writing skills. Thanks for the idea! Awesome! Someone in our school would provide a huge box of paper and envelopes and then the classes would get to writing them. We usually did them close to Thanksgiving so that we could get them there before Christmas. One year my dad came to my school and talked to my class of fourth graders. He brought them each a battery operated light of fiber optics (in the 80's- long before we even knew what it was). My kids wrote individual thank you letters to my dad and my mom said he brought them over to the neighbor's house to share them. When my mom told me that, it really hit home the importance of a sincere thank you note. |

I love the MME Holly Jolly collection. Haven't even finished last years's album and don't technically need more Christmas stuff but it might end up in my stash once/if it is available in Europe.

I'm not ready. I still need to finish last year's DD and then see what I have. I think it's time to get rid of anything left that I don't absolutely love.  |

Photo play has a collection not listed above, Kringle and Co. Kringle and Co I very much love it, a surprise for me because Photoplay is not a favorite of mine. I like this one the best so far. The Santa is cute and something a little different. |

The Muttcracker line was cute, but not something I would use. Hoping Studiolight comes up with something good (they usually do), otherwise I’ll have to dig out my old Basic Grey and MME.

TFS sleepingbooty! Nothing is really jumping out at me but it's still early. I think in the back of my mind I keep thinking of the ridiculous Christmas stash I have and knowing that it needs used up. |

I love all Christmas paper, needless to say I have more than the number of Christmas I have left. I can only hope to not add more than a couple of papers.

I'm glad they finally have more traditional colors this year. That Mutt-cracker line is adorable, too!

OP has just been updated with all the latest 2019 Christmas (and one winter) collections that I managed to find. The big ones missing from the current sneaks are Crate Paper (currently promoting Maggie Holmes' upcoming Heritage line) and stevenduncandesigner's Christmas line for Carta Bella (assuming he has one again this year - he had already mentioned earlier this year on the board that he was designing a Christmas line for 2020). The muted classic colour scheme is the definite stand-out when scrolling through all the lines. I hope compiling them will help some make up their mind or just enjoy the big picture in terms of the overall 2019 Christmas scrap offer. |

I am also eagerly anticipating the new Christmas line from Doodlebug! |

I really like the album. Nothing I have to have apart from it, though.

Thank you sleepingbooty for this fab thread. I am liking the Heidi Swapp line, I get a bit of an Ali feeling from it, but not too much. I love woodgrain everything, so that might work for me. I also like Photoplay's Kringle and Co. as it is clean and looks like it with mesh well with a lot of other lines. I have heaps of Christmas stuff, but I like to mix up my DD's so, new stuff is always something to be considered. I will be trying not to order from Ali Edwards this year as last year took FOREVER to reach me in Australia, and my husband went a bit bonkers listening to me open the door every day and say "Why aren't you here yet?!" He made me promise I would get my supplies elsewhere, hahah. I might consider Felicity Jane if the shipping doesn't kill me... |
