I had to call TAC and ask them to send me my copy at my inlaws...why is it that everytime it comes out, I'm gone?!?! :confused: It drives me crazy with anticipation...
Hopefully we'll have all those preorders by the first week of Jan, or before! :mrgreen:

Chris you have that problem too about being gone. I will be gone too.
Has anyone seen the new TAC catalog yet? Who has some inside information already? Can't wait!
Linda:-D
I'm not a demo (YET!) but I don't think they have them yet. I would pre-order yours though. I did and can't wait until my demo sends it. It will be like Christmas all over again
I'm waiting impatiently too!! I have customers chomping at the bit wanting to see what's in the new catalog.
It does look like the Brilliant Beginnings Bundles have been mailed out if you ordered them. Can't wait to see the new matchbook kits and paper collections that come in it.
I think 2 Jan is the target date, or the official start time of ordering from the new catalog. But honestly, it has normally taken them a snitch longer to get the catalog up online in the past. That being said, we can always hope that experience is catching up and it'll be different this year! :grin:
I've summarized what I've seen posted about the new TAC catalog on my blog (stamp2stamp2.blogspot.com). I'm hoping my mailman will be kind to me tomorrow and deliver mine - I've been good!! LOL!!
Received my demo copy today. My cases should arrive the 27th. Another fabulous catalog, and lots of inspiration. Love the matchbooks. Beautiful, quick, and affordable.

I got my catalog today! There are lots of fantastic scrapbooking stamps that I love- all the checklist ones- but unfortunately I don't scrapbook.
I was suprised that there are so many christmas, halloween, thanksgiving sets in there- it doesn't seem to be a "beginning of the year" and "end of the year" catalog scheme- just two "regular" catalogs a year.
I'm super excited to see the scor-pal a fantastic half price item! I don't have a ton of stamps on my wishlist, but enough that I'll meet my minimums this year.
I'm very excited to see the hardware kit in the accessories section.
So I saw the matchbook kits- but I have to say- I don't understand what they are!
Scalloped Punches... I am one happy gal.
I haven't "needed" a Bind it all, but for a half price item.
Love love love the new Juliette paper
Great new GWP's
Not very many realistic sets
I love the new Build a buggie set. Parts for several different bugs to piece together. Easy to do with the unmounted stamps.
Mine came today too! I already have a long list of things to order. Will need to shorten though for a January order. Love the new papers. already have all kinds of ideas floating around on how to use the bind-it-all.
Now that I've had a chance to go through the catty 85 times, here's what I really think ;)
The GWPs knocked my socks off. Usually I "tolerate" them. They're nice for freebies but I know I'll rarely if ever use them. The ones this time around are fabulous!
Overall the hostess sets get a thumbs-up from me. I like that there's a variety - words, images, styles - so that if someone (ahem, me) does multiple funshop orders she'll get a true variety. I'm hoping for a level B because I love that fluffy friends set! I have You're Neat from SU and this would be a great compliment!
The arrangement of the catty by paper collections is interesting, in a good way. There's a lot of competition out there and we need something to set us apart. I didn't think the new SU catty offered that, although I already have my sale-a-bration order started :cool: It's helpful to me to know, in general, what styles of stamp sets go with which papers, because that doesn't always come naturally to me.
My favorite thing hands-down in the catty is the new Christian/Scripture sets. I am embarking on a card ministry at my church and they will be first on my list. I'm bothered by one thing, though. On the Heavenly Father set, shouldn't Emmanual be Emmanuel? Shouldn't Yahwey be Yahweh? I might end up buying it for the other sentiments. Or...I could just make a background out of all the words and see if anyone picks up on it, like Season's Geetings in the SU wrapping paper. HA!
I won't be springing for a Scor-pal because I just bought a Crafter's Companion. The Bind-it-all is a possibility. We'll see.
Now that you've read my opinion, please share yours! Have a Merry Christmas, all!

I agree with much of what you said, Lisa. GREAT new GWP's, a home run on those for sure! I also appreciated the addition of many Christian sets and also noticed the misspelling of "Yahweh" (though I missed the other)...maybe it's an accepted variation, though I've never seen it before. I'm not sure on the organization, if I like it or not--will have to peruse it better today on the long drive to MIL's. Yippee on the Scor-Pal!!! I'm so glad I waited to get one, as it will be my first half-price item with a party order. And now the Bind-it-all is on my list, though I've resisted it up til now...
LOTS of curly-swirly flourishes sets, and the weird-eyed creatures are multiplying (but I find them kind of appealing), and some great new alphabets. I wish all the sentiment sets were in one place, that much I know, but the ones I've noticed that are new are good ones.
Can't wait to pore over it more on the drive today!! Good job, TAC!

There is a retro cat set... it's interesting.. reminds me of the designs of Enid (or was it Edith?) Collins and what she used to do with wooden box purses...

and the weird-eyed creatures are multiplying (but I find them kind of appealing), and some great new alphabets.
Okay- so the retro elves and creepy thanksgiving set really freaked me out- but the retro dogs are the cutest things ever, and the evil fish is somehow appealing. I can't think of what I would do with an evil fish- but I want it!
I love the new alphabet hostess stamp- I wish there was some hope I could get a level D- because it is beautiful! But alas, I've never gotten above A. Thankfully the A sets are pretty great this catalog.
I think my favorite addition is the date disks- I don't scrapbook but the idea of them is incredible! I love it!
Did anyone else notice the Pemberly Bay Matchbook kit was in the catalogue twice? With Amberly and Hemmingway collections. It matches both- but I wonder if there is supposed to be a different kit?
I know what you mean - my list is already 2 pages long!! It's going to be hard to decide what to order in January and what will need to wait until Februray, March, etc...
Does anyone know what the difference is between the
"Princess Brads" which are $4.95 for a package of 24 and the "Crystal Brads" which are $4.95 for 60 (circle) or 54 (square)?
Can someone email me the Decembers Angels Only password. I haven't heard from my upline since I signed up, I would love it if TAC would allow us to jump lines. Anyway, [email protected]. I am angel 3855 if you're wondering. I didn't even know about the Brilliant Beginnings Bundles, I haven't had the opportunity to get on Angels net, and my December newsletter went away, trash accidentally mistaken for junk mail.
