{Welcome to Simple Stories CHA Reveal Week}
Thank you for joining us! Are you ready for us to reveal ALL our new collections and products that we'll be showcasing at the CHA Winter 2012 show next week? Beginning today, Monday, January 23 through Thursday, January 26 we have a new collection we'll be revealing each day and we can't wait to show you all that we've been working on!
We're starting our first reveal with something BIG...the new chapter for Simple Stories! It's been something we have been working on behind the scenes for quite awhile and have always wanted to do since the launch of Simple Stories! And the time has finally came when we can share these new memory-keeping tools with our wonderful customers...we hope you're as excited about it as we are!
Introducing Documented, an all-inclusive mini-album system that allows you to share your story your way, including:
- {MIX & MATCH 6x8 ALBUM} This 6x8 Kraft chipboard D-ring album is absolutely beautiful...and super strong and sturdy so you can load your memories inside! It features a wonderful linen spine with decorative book plate label on the spine, and ultra thick chipboard with a Kraft cardstock covering (no naked grey chipboard here), so you can leave as is for quick and easy crafting or decorate to your hearts desire! It also inlcudes tons of goodies inside so you can create a one-of-a-kind keepsake, including album pages, chipboard dividers and a variety of 6x8 divided page protectors!
- {MIX & MATCH DIVIDED PAGE PROTECTORS} These little divided page protectors come in a variety of styles and formats so that you can mix and match your memories to tell a story that's all your own. These 6x8 page protectors are divided into mini pockets that work PERFECTLY with your photos and our signature elements, including the 6x8 photo mats, 4x4 cards, 3x4 flash cards, 4x6 journaling cards and 2x12 strips (these can be trimmed to 2x8 to easily slip in the 2x8 / 4x4 page protector option!) You will LOVE these page protectors - super clear, thick and heavy, and archival safe! Plus you can add to your full-size 12x12 3-ring albums for a fun, playful look!
- {THIS & THAT ALBUM PAGES} We've also included journal/scrapbook album pages that you can "smash" on your photos. memories and mementos and insert into your album any way you'd like - and we're giving you lots of options with 4 different sets to match our newest collections, including our popular Year.o.grapy line (you'll see all of these sets in detail over the next week!) These album pages are AMAZING - printed on heavy-weight cardstock and double-sided - they match our elements perfectly so you can easily mix and match with the divided page protectors too!
- {ODDS & ENDS MEMORABILIA POCKETS} We're also introducing a collection of memorabilia pockets for all of your little bits and pieces and odds and ends! These pockets come in a variety of sizes, including full size for your 12x12 albums and page protectors, and smaller sizes like 6x8, 4x6 and 3x4, which are designed to fit perfectly into divided page protector pockets! You can decorate your pockets to match your project, and insert into page pockets, add to your pages and layouts or even hole-punch to insert into albums for pocket pages..the possibilites are endless!
{Ship Date: March 2012}
