I like the Crate colors. Not sure about the actual people/bird/pictures. But I bet I love the patten papers.

I am intrigued by CP sneak and I think it will be a winter collection similar to Snow and Cocoa, hence later release. I hope the collection has some Items that can be incorporated into DD album. Cannot wait to see the full reveal.

If anyone else bought AE paper/ transparency set and is not planning on using the Grinch quote, I am willing to pay for it. I am done with my last year album but I had quite a few pages devoted to Grinch as it was the ‘theme” last year with the release of a new movie. I would love to add it to last year album.

The girl is actually kind of creepy. The girl is me as soon as we hit the dreaded 12°C (54°F) limit. "We're all gonna die! It's the end of the world! SO COLD! My eyeballs are gonna freeze!" 54°F That is a shorts and T Shirt day in our part of the world.

Was just coming to post the sneaks! pancakes got there before me (gurl, gold star sticker for you). Be still, my heart, I think I'm already in love... It looks like Merry Days and Snow & Cocoa had a baby! THANK THE PAPER GODS AMERICAN CRAFTS CAME TO THEIR SENSES! October is far, far, faaaar too far away for a reveal. I said the exact same thing about the aesthetic looks as though both had a baby!!! I feel relieved that I only purchased a 3x8 album from the DD shop.

ETA: Just realised they're calling it their winter collection. So, a lot of cold? Maybe no direct Christmas references? Hmm... I was noticing the same thing. Interested to see the full reveal [/quote] That's good news for me! I'm usually all over Crate Paper but I have no use for a winter collection at this time of year. Makes me feel better about the money I spent on Ali's site with an appalling exchange rate for Aussies

I wanted to share an awesome resource I use frequently that I'm not sure if most people know about. Unsplash.com is a site that offers completely free high resolution photos taken by professional photographers. They have photos for all sorts of subjects, including some gorgeous Christmas ones. I know photo-realistic paper is having a moment again, so you could easily create your own 3x4, 4x6 or 6x8 cards/inserts with some of these photos. You could also supplement your own album if you weren't able to get pictures of your tree or snow, etc (your secret's safe with me!).

Citrus Twist offers 4x8 (ish) albums as well if you're looking for a traditional album with a spine rather than covers with loose rings. They offer a range of 3x8 PPs as well. Thank you for mentioning this. I've been looking at the Citrus Twist albums and couldn't quite figure out the exact dimensions, it seemed like 3x8 page inserts, but then the album looked larger than this, and I was generally confused. It may be an option for me this year. Does anyone know if they release any kind of December kit?

This year we’ll have a bundled Christmas Kit and Life Crafted Album option for the perfect size holiday album.

CT does do a December kit, but it’s not all proprietary designs. last year’s was mostly Crate Paper items. citrustwistkits.com/products/christmas-stories-2019

So I looked at the AE offerings and I'm good. The Canadian exchange and shipping is too much for a kit that I don't *love*. I decided to go through my Christmas stash and I actually have more than I realized. Plus I had boughten a bunch of papers from HS holiday line so really I just need an album which I probably have or could make work. So unless FJ has something that blows my socks off I might be having a'use my stash DD'

I bought the main kit. I was going to, then I wasn’t and just thought I’d grab add ons, but when shipping is Australian $30 the add ons didn’t seem worth it so full kit it is. I don’t have to buy an album this year so I’m justifying it that way 😄😄

People keep asking if the white album is going to be restocked on the DD Facebook group without even doing a quick search or any research. It’s been mentioned many times that it’s not 😑

mom just checking in to make sure you're on track with your goal of "more isn't better" this year. And for anyone else who thinks they might need a little reminder before they hit the buy button, consider this your conscience speaking!

I was browsing on ACOT and noticed that it said "Merry Days," by Maggie Holmes. I had no clue that she creative directed the collection. I'm definitely going to need them to choose her for a holiday collection more often if that was the result. I wonder who creative directed "Snow + Cocoa"?

Well, I only got Liz's kit (which was a planned purchase) and then I went back again and got the results 4x6 album. I *have* a 6x8 white album at home already but Im really afraid it will be too big. I failed at DD last year so Im planning on doing simple this year. I do not plan on purchasing from anyone else, anything else. Im in a good spot.

It can actually fit as large as 5x8.5 ( I was wrong about the 4ish )inside I just mentioned it because of the shipping issue some people have That's my recommendation and message, marg , not hop2 's. Just to make sizes clear: the Citrus Twist can fit up to a TN page. Their full page protector (1 big pocket) is a TN size (4.25x8.25) and the largest page protector they have in store. However, they also offer a 3x8 page protector to fit those albums! They also have a very handy page protector that can hold a vertical 4x6 (with an extra 2x6 space to insert some journaling or pretty pattern paper).

This ia so cute and versatile! Definitely going to hunt this one down. I think it’ll supplement the cocoa daisy kit I ordered perfectly! Thank you booty! Bake ALL the cookies! As I understand it, DCWV already had a Mrs. Claus Kitchen stack 8 years ago so don't buy the wrong one. This new one is expected to arrive in stock at scrapbook.com this month so it might not be in stores just yet... 54°F That is a shorts and T Shirt day in our part of the world. Eep! *hides under blanket* I have my oversized wool scarf, winter coat and mittens on when it's 12°C/54°F outside. There is likely a downside to all the early excitement as well such as high expectations and pressure to have the holiday season live up to these expectations, especially when you've invested money and are following others along on social media and online who are doing a December album as well (comparison is the thief of joy, yadda yadda). But getting excited for Halloween and Christmas in general (not just in terms of scrappy projects) is one of the only ways I've found to balance out my fear of going into the cold weather and short days season... I decided to go through my Christmas stash and I actually have more than I realized. Plus I had boughten a bunch of papers from HS holiday line so really I just need an album which I probably have or could make work. Yay you! I hope you find "your" album soon. I was browsing on ACOT and noticed that it said "Merry Days," by Maggie Holmes. I had no clue that she creative directed the collection. I think that might be a mistake? There was no promotion with Maggie Holmes for Merry Days whatsoever. My Merry Days stuff didn't have the Maggie Holmes logo on it either. She just released a collection before (Willow Lane) Merry Days and usually, CP doesn't have two Maggie Holmes lines following each other.
