To so many of you Simple Stories has come to mean quick, easy and beautiful scrapbooking and after a very successful first year in the wholesale scrapbook industry we’re ready to take it to a whole new level! We have BIG plans for 2012 and this post is loaded with exciting news and a cool little sneak of what we have in store...
Welcome to the fresh new face of Simple Stories!
We're thrilled to finally be able to unveil our brand new logo and fresh look for Simple Stories! Our new logo is simple and fun just like our scrapbook products - hopefully you love it as much as we do! It's been something we've been working on behind the scene for a while and it's so great to finally be able to unveil our new look! This is just the beginning...soon you'll see our new logo on our product packaging, advertising, social media, etc. and we're excited to announce that we're also working on our brand new website that will launch this spring! In the meantime we've made over our current website to reflect our fresh new face (please excuse our dust while we're still putting the final touches on our blog makeover)...and we can't wait to unveil our new look at the upcoming 2012 Winter CHA show!

I love your products and curious if you are only looking for scrapbookers? I ask as I'm a huge fan of your products and I am a scrapbooker, but I love your products for my cards as well.
Thanks!
