Grit Story Kit, November 2024 Stories By The Month, and Mix + Match Kit

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

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

Ah, grit. This month we are coming together as a community to document stories in our lives of making it through, of beautiful courage, of determination, and what that might look like in various chapters of our lives.

Story ideas for this theme include:

• Tell a story of a time you made it through something.

• What does grit look like in your life right now?

• Tell a story about yourself or someone you love who has shown beautiful courage.

MIX + MATCH KIT & STORY SPARKS WORKSHOP

This month we are mixing things up (and reducing inventory to make room for fun stuff in 2025) by offering a kit of elements + components from past kits. The above image and the video below show you what's included in the kit which can be be added to your physical kit shipping for no additional shipping charge.

Sometimes seeing supplies with a different set of supplies can spark new stories!

Here's an overview of the kit:

In addition to the kit we are offering a workshop featuring projects made with this specific kit of supplies. Class content will be available on 10/22.

Contributors to this workshop include:

• Ali Edwards

• Sabrina Poole

• Laura Wonsik

• Jill White

• Pam Baldwin

• Jamie Leija

Each contributor will share how they were inspired or promoted by the products (i.e. story spark) and then how they implemented those products into their final designs.

DETAILS: We are excited to offer this new self-paced class that celebrates fun, creativity and playfulness in our memory keeping projects. The Mix + Match Story Sparks Class will feature a combination of story ideas and creative techniques in a variety of formats with the goal of providing you with product inspiration using the Mix + Match Kit as “story sparks” or jumping off points for their personal storytelling.

Class is open to anyone whether you order the kit or not!
