Hello Story Kit + January 2025 Stories By The Month
Tags:
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 Hello.
This month, as we come to the end of the Story Kit adventure, we are taking time to reflect and focus on stories of saying hello. Hello is a greeting and it's a season. We say hello to every new day on this earth and we encounter many experiences in our lives where a goodbye results in a new hello. Let's tell stories together about the various hellos in our lives.
Story ideas for this theme include:
What are you currently saying hello to in your life?
Tell a story about a goodbye that resulted in a brand new hello.
When was your most favorite hello in your own life? Tell that story.
STORY KIT™

Love the pink and green in the Story Kit! A little hard to wrap my brain around this being the last one, but here's to new adventures with the quarterly kit! Thank you for all the Story Kits along the way, I have documented so many years with them. <3

I feel exactly the same! I am both a little sad + excited about mixing things up.
Same! I have eight years of story albums using these kits and more in Project Life. So grateful!

Hello! If I want to purchase this last story kit and I’m not currently a subscriber, should I choose the month by month option? Does that automatically enroll me in the quarterly Storyteller kit next year? I’m loving the colors and art in this kit. Thank you.

Yes! If you just want this kit then choose month to month and then reach out to cancel. If you'd like to start with this kit + continue with the new kits then you don't need to reach out to cancel.

Hey team - what is the thought process around the weird hearts with eyes in the Jan SBTM kit? Love the kit but this sticker sheet seems so strange to me and I can’t work out why this image was chosen and what it would possibly be used for?
I’m an Aussie so thought maybe it’s a US thing I haven’t seen before?

Just a fun graphic! You could easily add a word phrase sticker or perforated word strip on top!

Are there going to be repeated elements (cards, etc.) from month to month for this year’s Stories by the Month kit?

Just the foiled monthly card (4x6) this year.

The colours are perfect for here in Australia because it's summer! So excited to start another documenting year with such fun products. Love the hearts with the eyes too. I just found out about these recently and all the wonderful things they represent: intuition, universal symbol for creativity, and my favourite: eyes open to the power of love and devotion. Bring on 2025!

Excited about both kits this month. Love, love, love the colors in the Hello story kit and there are some great pieces, colors, and sentiments in the SBTM kit as usual. :)

I love the hearts + eyes! Just wanted to leave the comment here as I realize it might not be everyone's thing. I am actually considering purchasing one-off January kit just to get them :)

I love that a sticker sheet with smaller embellishments is included as well as the word phrases - thank you! I've missed the smaller stickers/embellishments to add in my PL. Thanks Ali!

I am a subscriber of stories of the month and want to buy the add on digital hello story kit but the link isn't working. How can I purchase that?

Oh, Ali, I can imagine this is bittersweet for you. I have loved your story kits over the years. This month, I love your use of mixed media and making your painting into these gorgeous embellishments. You are a shining light in the journalling community and I wish you all the best in your new venture.
