Story Kits & Ali Edwards

I haven't started with AE yet, but I did like the look of the kit. I didn't mind the glitter either,although if it would end up in several kits I would worry.

I have been subbing to AE kits from the beginning and I really love them. I'm not that keen on the colours for this month though. Just a personal preference I guess, but the orange and yellow together feel very Halloween-y to me. But everything else I love, and I will definitely find a way to use it all.

I've been getting these for a while and REALLY need to make some time to go through all the class content and really dig in!

freeatlast I always post my layouts in the class gallery and on Instagram. Don't worry about the fact that you haven't used all the kits yet. Sometimes I wait months until the right story comes along for a certain kit. Just yesterday I finished a layout using the 'little things' kit.

I started subbing to the Story Kit with Roots and have been so inspired by the themes each month - it's now my favourite sub. I really want to get better at storytelling and digging deeper, so that was my motivation for signing up, plus Roots was such a cool theme because I'm really into genealogy.

My Sparks kit just arrived. I have taken a quick look at the class content but will go back and watch the videos again. I guess some months just speak to you more than others - sometimes when I see the theme I immediately get ideas, other times they take a while. Black & White was probably the hardest for me, but I ended up with 3 layouts which I was pretty happy with. Here's one of them:

Just signed up for a 6 month sub for story kits! My first kit ever is Sparks, and I just got it a few days ago. Love love Ali. I have done some of her One Little Word classes in the past.

Thanks for starting this saralovesducks

I subbed to the Story Kits from the beginning, just getting the digital kit, as I was a digi scrapper. However, I've been dabbling in physical product/hybrid lately. I LOVED the Black and White kit so much I decided to try getting the physical kit as a month-to-month sub. I really liked it, and with Spark I decided to jump in and signed up for a 12 month sub. I'm really excited about quite a few of the upcoming themes.

I agree with many - the content included with the kits can't be beat, especially since I am really focusing on journaling and 'stories'. I am a minimalist scrapper, so what's included in the kits can go a long way for me.

I am kicking myself for dropping my subscription for the Roots, Go, and Build months! I was trying to cut back on my spending, and since I hadn't gotten around to using kits the previous months, I let them go for a while. I'm sure the Roots and Go content could have sparked a bunch of stories, since I am interested in genealogy, and we do a decent amount of travelling. Oh well!

I also ordered the stamp for this month, and am excited to get it. I used to do tons of stamping a few years ago (mostly for cardmaking), but got away from it. I like how the stamps are theme specific, but also general enough to get lots of use out of them. I am thinking I will just get the stamp here and there when I really like a set, although I love that you get the digital kit thrown in when you sub to both the story kit and stamp. If the Canadian dollar was better I would probably sub to both, but right now the exchange rate really cuts in to what I can spend

I also have to just say, that I am really happy with Ali's CS. Everytime I've started a conversation, they have been answered within the 48 hour window, and I've had no problem cancelling when I've needed to (cancelling my digital kit, or when I've subbed month-to-month).

I start subbing to both the kit and the stamps in May of this year but I've managed to acquire all but one of the stamp sets (still on the hunt). I will admit that I have not yet used any of the kits but I definitely have plans to . I absolutely love the monthly content and have watched all of the videos. Some people have been complaining about lack of value but the videos and guest story tellers are certainly worth it in my opinion.

The class content is completely worth it!

i have subbed to the story kit since the beginning but have not made too many layouts yet. as of january, i plan to do an internet spending freeze aside from my story kits because for the last while i have spent too much time buying and not enough time creating. my plan for scrapbooking next year is to make a journal using my story kits and the content to help me through. i really appreciate ali and they way she has handled herself throughout her scrapbooking 'superstardom' if that makes any sense at all. she has never seemed full of herself and has always been generous with her ideas and talents. she seems genuine, hard-working, and committed to her audience and as such, she is a person i like to support. i also think she seems like a kick-ass mom and that, too, is something i value in her. i am going to continue for now, as long as i use what i purchase and as long as the terms do not change to something i can't live with. i think, after my december kit, i will have fulfilled my 12 month term and will be able to continue at the $19.99 price without another time commitment. that i like. can't wait to see more work you have made with the kits. anniefb i love what you have shown of your story kit work thus far.

Great LO's ladies; TFS!

I love love love the idea of using your kits for a journal next year! (And so love Ali too!)
