There are currently 3 collections:
The Memory Keeper Collection is really awesome since it contains pretty much everything you need and lots of stuff you want! Album, page protectors, cutting tools, papers, pens, tape runner, die cuts, stickers, and an idea book. It sells for about $277.
The Story Teller Collection has many of the same items as the Memory Keeper Collection but has less decorative stuff, no 12" cutting pattern and no Memory Mate Bag...the price on that is um...I think about $160-$180
The Album Maker Collection is just the basics...album, page protectors, trimmer, a pen, shortcuts and a tape runner (and I think I'm forgetting something...) for about $90
Honestly I sell mostly the big collections! That's why I can remember the price and not the others! LOL But the good thing is that with the big collection you don't get halfway into a page and go..."ooooh, I should have gotten (whatever..)"
Best wishes to your SIL on getting started!
