Start Story Kit + Stories By The Month February 2024

Today's the 10th of the month and that means a new  Story KitStory Stamp, and Stories By The Month kit

This month we are focusing on stories related to the theme of Start.

We all start somewhere and we all start at some time. Stories of starting, starting + stopping, starting and then beginning again are present during most chapters of our lives. Sometimes it's an easy start and sometimes it's a phenomenal feat that we even make it to the starting line. This month we are diving into stories of starting: from the beginning, from the middle, and those times when we find ourselves starting all over again. 

Initial story ideas for this theme include:

  • What are you starting in your life right now? Is there a fresh start you are experiencing? 
  • What have you started + stopped recently or at some point in your life? How did that impact that particular season of your life? 
  • False starts. They happen! Can you think of a time in your life when you experienced a false start? Tell that story.

    Loving the bright colors of the story kit and bringing me so much joy. The Feb kit has a nice assortment of items. Loving the variety. Thanks for the heads up that Ali will be using the frames in PL.

    That yellow stitching Ali on your layout sneak peek!! Wow...assuming it's from your new sewing machine? Looks so good and can't wait to see more.

    I’ve got myself confused…a Stories by the Month subscription includes access to the classroom but not the digital kit, right? So I can get the digital kit as an add on, but even if I don’t, I still can access the Inspiration by the Month classroom?

      Correct!

    It looks like the stamp might actually be a build able one where the "lines" are the leaves and stems and the "stars" are the centers of the flowers. Do they all line up if you stamp them?

      You are right! I wasn't thinking that one through when I was doing the video! Denine has a great project in the classroom using the stamps!

    Hi @aliedwards I subscribe to Inspiration By the Month. I’m wondering how do I add/ access the digital add-on of the quarterly 6 x 8.25 paper pack?

    The colors of both of these kits are awesome. I can't wait to get them.
    One question though, is there any chance that the slick writer pens could be added to the add-on options? Since they work on vellum I was hoping that might an option.

    I love, love, love how so many of the kits (even from last year) can coordinate and work together. Each kit is versatile that even if I don't use a component I know I'll be able to put it together with something else at some point. I really appreciate the value I get. Nothing is wasted.

      Go to the Lessons page in the classroom - it has it's own individual home within the lessons.

      Looks like we didn't have the right time listed for that one to go live - it's up now!
