CHA 2015: Simple Stories

Simple Stories has a new line that is pretty unique. “I Am”. Some elements of this line are really exciting to me. Mostly I’m liking that they took some risk and made a “self” type line. We do NOT see that often!

I like the little pockets with tabs and chipboard (below), as well as the brads and several of the papers.

I’m really into the idea of this line, one that is empowering and focused on self. The only pieces I really am not interested in are the stickers (too much “I am” and I’m not a repetitive words girl). It really is a lovely color palette and great concept for a paper line.

Loving the colors and patterns (above). Also exciting – 4×6 Snap albums!

This makes me think of vacation and other smaller scale project albums. I really love the Snap book that I use for our camping adventures – so if I’m in the market for a small book I’ll likely check one of these out. Maybe a Christmas 2015 daily type album? Who knows!

Speaking of fun… look at these.

Now I realize these are designed so you can crop (without a trimmer), but I argue that this would be GREAT for making mixed media layouts! Use the plastic as a mask so you’re not getting gungy stuff on your photo area! Use it to stencil or mist around. Create designs! I’m totally getting this and I will see if it works out as I think it will.

  1. I like this line too. I have the photo crops, not the circles, the one with the sizes. It’s one of my most used tools. Really genius. Thanks for showing these, such a nice release. Michelle t

  2. i have seen the photo crops. My first thought was nahhh. BUT, I love your idea to use as masks. Now I want them. Brilliant idea.

  3. The photo crops are a great idea.
    Thanks for all the CHA sharing you are doing – it is great to see a bit more detail on the products and the booths.
