Story Kit™ & Story Stamp™ | Surprise

Today I'm excited to introduce you to the next story theme:  Surprise.

Throughout our lives we are all surprised at one point or another by a person or a place or a thing or a thought. Sometimes those surprises are awesome and other times they take our breath away. This month we are telling stories of surprise - both the awesome and the challenging ones. When was the last time you were surprised?

Also, I feel compelled as I set up this post to mention that this kit was designed and planned over 6 months ago. It has ended up being ironically timely in light of the US election but was not designed with politics in mind. That said, my intent with my all Story Kits™ is to give you thoughtful products to help you tell a variety of different stories that align with the theme of the month. 

If you are already a subscriber to you can now access the content in the classroom ( make sure you are logged in to your account).

If you are new to the Story Subscription program, check out all the details here

Here's a look at the Story Kit™ contents for  Surprise

And the Surprise Story Stamp™:

We also have a Digital Story Kit™ subscription available that includes access to the classroom content. Here's a look at what's included for Surprise (which also shows all the designs for the journal cards included in the printed version of the kit): Here's a video overview of the products included in the kits this month: 

Here's a video overview of the products included in the kits this month:

And a couple peeks at the layouts I created with the kits this month in addition to the one featured at the top of this post ( full details, including process videos and how-to handout, are included with subscription):

Again, thanks so much for subscribing and/or considering my  Story Subscription program!

    Ali, it looks like in the digital version (and in the handout) the "surprise" stamp is misspelled (missing the first r).

    I am so thankful for this subscription. I picked up the stamp set too, I couldn't resist those great phrases that I'll use over and over again in regular life. I'm going to keep that stamp for next month too, I'm excited for review. And I agree, the stars and the colors are awesome, and I can't wait to see the videos, your layouts are awesome. Thanks again!

    Looks so great, and timely, too, as it turns out. Glad you never shrink from the negatives! That's real life, as we know too well.

    Wonderful kit supplies. I was wondering if you might give us a heads up on the story subjects you are planning for the next few months? It would help me with my photos and my ideas to think on them. Thank you.

    I am so appreciative for this membership. I got the stamp set as well, I couldn't avoid those awesome expressions that I'll use again and again in consistent life. I am not astounded at all this is another marvelous pack! Yippee for knowing a few things without a doubt, and yahoo for the way that both great and awful things shock us infrequently. http://www.researchpapergurus.com/
