Simple Stories

We are so excited about our 3 new Simple Stories lines (this is just a sneak peak - be sure to read to the end for more images!):





To understand why we love them so, we thought we would share a little about the idea behind the product first! The following section describing Simple Stories is courtesy of the Simple Stories Blog. It was such a great outline of their product, I decided not to reinvent the wheel, but instead to just share their great description:

It’s scrapbooking…simplified!
