I am super excited about the sbtm kit! I have wanted to buy the March 2017 digital kit forever but I missed the last sale and I don't want to pay full price. I am still going to buy the digital when it goes on sale again. Being Scottish I just love rain!!!! Super excited to get this physical kit. I loved what the Dt did with the digital last year so I can't wait to see how I can apply those designs to the physical.

I think the March SBTM kit is my least favorite. Funny how we all like different things.  |

I really like the colors of the chipboard in the Fabric kit but that's all I like in the kit. The colors are different in a good way. Thank goodness Ali doesn't push the pink. I loathe burlap and don't want it in my albums. About the cork board pieces, Tuesday Morning carries the Heidi Swapp cork roll. Super easy to cut with dies. Or stick to cardstock and use a cameo. It's $3 and will make hundreds of shapes. heidiswapp.com/product/marquee-love-cork-with-gold-flakes-decorative-paper-roll/I will cut out a shape of the cork paper and several out of cardstock. Stack them so it looks like chipboard. Easy, cheap, and more options. |

So Someone posted in the Craft the Story group about the lack of descriptions and Ali seemed to know nothing about it. She contacted “IT” and the descriptions of the addons are now showing.
We’ll have to see if this is a permanent “fix”.

I'm excited about the March kit. The umbrella stamp makes me happy even though it doesn't rain here much (I say this after a night of light rain, lol). I am a little worried that I won't find anything to properly pair with the green tone she used throughout most of the kit, but the bright yellow is really nice...especially on the quote card. I'm not sure I'm digging the 'sorry for what I said when it was winter' card, but most of the others I can find a way to use!

We’ll have to see if this is a permanent “fix”. I just wanted to let you guys know this was indeed an IT bug. I heard all of your feedback and we implemented adding sizing to the descriptions. When we checked everything we could see it on our end with our admin access-- but for some reason it wasn't showing up in the customer view. I do listen to your feedback here and try to make and implement changes when we can! |

The SBTM add ons sort of seem like whatever extra product they have in the warehouse gets picked, almost like an after thought. Having said that, I'm not all that disappointed because I think the SBTM kit is by far the best value for a kit available in the scrapbooking world. I'm not super sold on the big quote cards, but even setting those aside I find that I have more than enough product for both of my kids 12x12 monthly Project Life albums.

I am absolutely open to buying add ons but the SBTM add ons seem weak in comparison to the other kits. |

I've been thinking about those number stamps though so I added them to my box. I'm pretty sure it has been mentioned that eventually, SBTM kits will have their own add-ons. Yes the SBTM kits are an amazing value. |

Yes the SBTM kits are an amazing value. Yes The Stories By The Month™ kits will have newly designed add on items, I believe starting in May. We didn't have enough production time when we decided to start this subscription to manufacture new items, so we are just going with shop items until then. We are happy so many of you are excited about this kit! |

That is absolutely brilliant. That is the best use of that card I've heard. I hope you'll show your layout. |

March around here is cold and snowy and it makes me grumpy to have 6 months of winter. LOL I almost bought the digi kit last year just for that card (but her digi kits are way, way overpriced imho) |

It is also snowy around here and by March I am fed up with it... especially with the "snow, melt, refreeze" cycle we have around here this time of year. I know Ali lives where there isn't much snow and definitely not this time of year, but I wish some of the embellishments had been useable for that part of March. Even though we don't really get rain until the summertime, I love the umbrella styled stamp and can't wait to use it!

We get snow one day every 30 or so years...so it could just be where I live that is causing it to not appeal to me. |

I subbed to SBTM and was wait-listed in January. Got the email that my sub is starting with March's kit and I'm getting Jan and Feb too. Super excited! I hadn't looked at any of the kits because I didn't want to be disappointed about what I was missing out on. KWIM. So, I just looked at them on the website and I'm so happy. I really think this subscription is the best fit for me. I was a long time subscriber to the Story and Stamp kit. I like that I get a stamp with this kit and it's perfect in size. It feels like a great value to me. Can't wait to see it in person.

With the Story Kits I have, I've got everything I need for PL. The Change kit will get a lot of use, I've had a lot of change this year, but I was waiting for the SBTM to get started. |

Looks like the polka dot album will be revealed next Monday! http://instagr.am/p/BfOn5ujh8xk Eta- there is another slightly different screenshot in her IG story that shows more of the stickers and that first tab says "Ali" |

My guess is the products are for making a "personal" album. She had us do 2 small projects at Story Camp that were focused on ourselves, and sent us with one of her 6x8 albums and encouraged us to create albums for/about ourselves. From the peeks of the stickers, I could see them fitting in with capturing details and stories that are autobiographical.

I think it’s going to be a personal album as well. I follow Amy Gretchen on You Tube and she’s been doing a personal album using the story and SBTM kits.

To me it looks like the polka dot album / new product could be a story planner, or some kind of general planner. The story planner I could totally be in for. I've got so much I want to do but struggle to keep track of it all so having somewhere to physically write it down would be awesome. At the moment I have a notebook in Evernote that I use to make notes when I remember and I have some folders in Lightroom where I store photos that I want to eventually scrap.
