NEW CLASS | MIX + MATCH STORY SPARKS
We are excited to offer this new self-paced class that celebrates fun, creativity and playfulness in our memory keeping projects. The Mix + Match Story Sparks Class will feature a combination of story ideas and creative techniques in a variety of formats with the goal of providing you with product inspiration using the Mix + Match Kit as "story sparks" or jumping off points for their personal storytelling. Join contributors Ali Edwards, Sabrina Poole, Laura Wonsik, Jill White, Pam Baldwin and Jamie Leija as they share how they were inspired or prompted by the products (i.e., story spark) and then how they implemented those products in their final designs. Learn more and register here.
2024 DECEMBER DAILY® DIGITALS ARE HERE
The 2024 December Daily® Digitals are here! Kits, Stamps, Paper, and Embellishments...the same fun & festive designs as the physical @decemberdaily products, only in digital format. We love to see how this incredibly creative community plays with digitals! Resizing elements and cards, adding journaling to papers, creating cut files, transforming files into transparencies, the sky is the limit with digital files.
Want to learn more about creating with digital files? Our newest class December Daily® 2024 Hybrid Product Play is live today. We have incredible content from six amazing contributors ready to explore at your convenience.
Please note: new 2024 layered templates will be coming to the shop next week. Shop digitals here.
2024 DECEMBER DAILY® SHIPPING UPDATE
As you’re reading this, our incredible warehouse team is working hard behind the scenes to pack and ship your orders! Please note that we will be prioritizing shipping international shipments first due to the project timeline and extended shipping delays internationally. We are exceedingly grateful for your continued support and we are counting down until you receive these products and start documenting your stories. Our remaining inventory of products is now available on the website, ready to ship.
NEW DECEMBER DAILY® COMMUNITY SPACE
We invite you to join us in this free December Daily® community classroom. We know that many in the community don't care to share their December Daily® projects on social media. And for those that do, constant algorithm updates and unreliable hashtag searches make it challenging to connect with others or to find inspiration and encouragement. So with this in mind, we are excited to offer this space as a place to share your work with other memory keepers and storytellers who are participating in this special project. Register for free here.

OCTOBER REVEAL
This month we are revealing a new Story Kit™ theme: GRIT! This month we are focusing on stories related to the theme of Grit. Ah, grit. This month we are coming together as a community to document stories in our lives of making it through, of beautiful courage, of determination, and what that might look like in various chapters of our lives. In addition to our new Story Kit™ theme, we also have a brand new Stories By The Month™ kit and the next edition in our Alphas Are Awesome series. Head to the blog for Ali's post with all the details about this month’s release.

Shop digitals here. As a special bonus, we've released our Halloween collection early for those wanting to play before October.
2024 PROJECTS + PRODUCTS SCHEDULE
As we continuing easing into 2024 we put together an overview of our schedule of projects + product releases for the upcoming year. We are sharing this as a way for you to plan, think about what you might want to participate in this year, and simply share some of the things we have coming up to help support + inspire storytelling. For the last few years we've followed a fairly similar cadence for our releases and our major projects will follow that release schedule again this year. Please note that, as you might imagine, this schedule is subject to change throughout the year based on a variety of variables. Find the post here.
As always, we’re so grateful to have you all as members of this community! Thanks for joining me today and have a great weekend!
