Have I had you waiting patiently for a preview of the upcoming Simple Stories release? Here it is!! I'm so excited about this one! I LOVE the new concept of smashbooks, but I have always thought it was a bit overwhelming finding a place to start. I mean, there is no need for a theme as ANY theme will work, right? That's what a smashbook is...a journal, a year in review, random thoughts and photos, whatever you want it to be. The thought is to just stick anything and everything on a page, right? I guess I'm just too neat and tidy and the thought still overwhelmed me. So....I put some thought into it and this is what I came up with. This is a smash book Paisleys and Polka Dots style. If you are overwhelmed like me, then this one is for you. This kit starts with the Simple Stories Snap binder which includes chipboard tabbed pages, journaling pages, and sheet protector/pocket pages. This means you already have a full album to work with! I have designed the front cover and the three inside chipboard tabbed pages, both the front and back sides, plus two custom shaped "word blub" pages. Yep! You have a full eleven pages, pre designed, pre cut and ready to assemble. The kit includes full color instructions so you can easily assemble your pages. Next, use your own creativity to complete the book by finishing the journaling pages and the pocket pages. The kit includes extra sheets of paper, stickers, and embellishments to help you in completing your album. The album even includes some fun pocket pages.
Here is a look at the custom word blurb pages...

And last but not least, here is a look at the two page layout that is sold separately.
I actually went on a scrappin weekend last weekend and yes, I worked on my smash book. I'm creating a book for my daughter titled, "the many adventures of a couple in love." I'm almost finished so stop back by to see what I created...more pictures coming! It's turning out so cute I may not want to give it to her. Julie
