    Hi everyone!

    I'm a single mom of 2 from The Netherlands and I love being creative. I just can't work with big projects I guess. I love my Travelers Notebook, here I journal my holidays with photo's.

    Just decided that I wanted to start with digital project life /scrapping :) Years ago I started behind my desk filled with kits, page protectors and printed photo's but I never made through the first month (or just a December daily). Still have all the stuff but I just can't find the feeling anymore.. so I decided to give the digital version a try...

    I'm searching for a base kit which I can use the whole year and add with small kits/extra's along the way (preferably from 1 designer). What are your favorites?

    Welcome to The Lilypad & to the world of digiscrapping & maybe hybrid. Memory Pockets Monthly (shortened to MPM) sounds like it might be a good place to start looking at- it's by a small group of designers that often make add-ons that expand the potential of each month's MPM pack.
    Some of the designers, like Just Jaimee 's Storytellers, have monthly kits that would suit what you've described & most also make pocket cards which are perfect for digital project life but the monthly BYOC's (where all the designers release coordinating products using the same colour palette on the first Friday of every month) might work for you too.
    I'll come back with some links for you (my phone battery is flashing at me)

    So this is MPM https://the-lilypad.com/store/Memory-Pockets-Monthly/
    and it has a foundation/base pack full of neutrals, designed to coordinate with every month & it's perfectly named Foundation! This is the newest addition to the Foundation line
    [​IMG] .... and the other Foundation packs are all here
    https://the-lilypad.com/store/FOUNDATION/

    And there is a whole section of the store dedicated to Pocket style, & it's full of templates and goodies to suit every style from clean to artsy so it's a good place to browse thru to try to figure out what suits your needs

    Looks like Justine directed in the right place for the Monthly Pocket kits and there are a ton of different collections to choose from in there depending on what colors you like. There's also tons and tons of journal cards to fit in your pockets too. And if you would like templates to mimic the Project Life style pockets we have those too...

    Welcome to the Lilypad.
    I love the foundations set that Justine linked you up to.
    I would suggest get something like that with fabulous neutrals and then as the seasons change, you add spring colours, wintery blues etc to stretch your stash. Also look out for the 50% off deals on Wednesdays. Great deals to be had there.
    It's not one designer but the style is very similar from month to month, with seasonal themes and colours.

    Hi and welcome to the Lilypad! I was also going to recommend the FOUNDATION line of the Memory Pockets Monthly.

    I use Allison Pennington's Subfloors on almost every page!!
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    And I've had my eye on Sara Gleason's Story Cards for a long time:

    Of course there are also her Story Seeds:

    And Sahlin Studio's All About This stamps:

    The whole Foundation line is amazing, including the base kits and the add-ons. You really can't go wrong with this set.

    Welcome! You’ve gotten some great suggestions. A monthly subscription might be a good idea, get you motivated each month to create some pages. There are new releases in the store every week, on sale, for the wkend. There is also a sale (SOSN, 50% sale) every Wednesday to get some great deals to help build up your supplies. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have.

    welcome! good luck with your digital PL project! we are here if you have ?s. love the suggestions so far ... like @bellbird said - I was going to say Just Jaimee's Pocket storyteller kits or MPM (even if you don't do the subscription - buying the kits a la carte - depending on what colors you are looking for is a good idea!)

    I think Justine might be right on the money if you want to print. There are so many options. I was just looking for some cards and fell down the rabbit hole for 1 hr! LOL!!!
