I posted this over on AE's Craft The Story FB page and thought I'd cross post here:
I’ve been so inspired by the Story Kits lately. I love this month’s Home theme! I’ve had some themes/words rolling around in my head recently, that I’d love to see in future kits. I’ll list them here and everyone else should feel free to add their ideas😊.
Story Theme Ideas:
Hands
Hold
Color
Dream
Free
Moments
True/Truth
Reflect
Doors
Stars
Memory
Day
Night
Soul
Now/Then
Circle
Smile
Strong
Real

i know the themes for this year are already decided (and i love knowing them in advance). but i'd love to get feedback and more ideas for the future, if there are words you'd like to see/use. i feel like AE is always open to our input.

I have no clue if anything that comes to mind has been covered because I don't follow the story themes (too pricey), but here are some thoughts off the top of my head:
I think more about hard stuff would be nice to see from all companies.
I think fear would be a good topic, even. Because you can center it around the idea of overcoming fear if you don't want to look at the negative aspect of it.
Uncertainty. Sadness. Achievement. Hopes/dreams/ambitions (would this have been part of the drive theme??). Over/underwhelm. Chaos/dysfunction (this could easily be taken in a lighthearted way in terms of family situations that are atypical, but also very serious). Wow. Busy. Through (as in, the only way out of something is to go through it). Simple/simplicity.
Maybe even something like knowledge (or learn). You can do a lot with that around schooling, but also in your growth as a person and what you've learned going through something.
Has there been a kit about reflection/looking back?
I think something surrounding the idea of introvert/extrovert would be awesome. Could do a lot of product where you circle one or the other (like staying in/going out). Or even just a theme on personality.
What about the 5 senses?

I think someone should really post this over on the Everything Ali thread so that katiejaeger is able to see. She is great about keeping up with that thread and communicating. I am tagging her here as well but I think the exposure over there would be great!  |

Something about fitness/exercise/moving would be awesome. I like yoga, too, and that could fit in this category. We all need movement to stay healthy (to the extent possible, of course). I wouldn't want anything too dark and sad in the subscriber kits, but maybe something as a separate shop item. This is my hobby, my fun time, and I (personally, your mileage my vary) don't want to get all depressed putting together pages. Of course, if anyone could come up with a kit that would be really functional and mean different things to different people, it would be Ali. |

Of course, if anyone could come up with a kit that would be really functional and mean different things to different people, it would be Ali. That's why I tried to think of words that could be reinvented depending on the situation you wanted to record. That's what made it difficult to come up with suggestions. Like 'wow' could be used as excitement or as sarcasm depending on the crafter. I think 'moving' in general is a FANTASTIC idea because it could be used so many ways. Moving out, moving away, moving on, moving forward/backward, moving up, something moving/touching and moving around/exercise. |
