#roadtrip

When it was announced that Ali Edwards was going to offer Story Kits, I signed up. Right then. No questions asked. And it has been, so far, the best scrappy product I have ever bought. Not kidding.
 
When I opened the first kit, I was beyond amazed. But the real gem, is the class content that you get with it. One word: INSPIRING. The class moves your focus to the story as opposed to the product or photos and it is such a refreshing perspective.
 
For my first layout using the December kit, which has the theme of "Firsts," I went with a very literal approach-my first Texas roadtrip.

I have had this picture since June, but hadn't touched it. Actually, I hadn't even decided if I was going to even use it. Yet, I thought of this picture right away while viewing Ali's video because the story behind this grainy Instagram photo was important.

Another quality to these kits is that for me they are more of a supplemental supply, meaning that I can pick from my supplies and then supplement with Ali's kit. Both the grey diamond and word stickers in the following two pictures are examples.

Have you tried or are you considering purchasing Ali's kits? If so, how are you using them? Link me up-I would love to see your projects!
