Hello, Donna here! Today I want to share with you the layout and the card that I made using Take a Hike for the Simple Stories booth at CHA. Like many of you, I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful new collections released by Simple Stories this season. All of it was so very exciting! Even though my family does not go camping or do many outdoor activities, yet (my oldest son will join the Cub Scouts this fall so that will change soon I am sure!), I was happy to see this new collection because I knew it would be perfect for scrapbooking my adventuresome boys!
My middle son in particular has quite the personality and definitely keeps us all on our toes! This photo is almost two years old, and as soon as I received the new papers I knew that they would be the perfect match for this picture of Nathan walking on his head, something silly he did often as a toddler.
Once again, Simple Stories has designed the perfect basic patterns to pair with each collection. I love that you can now get them all in a Simple Basics Kit!
So even if you are not the outdoorsy type, the Simple Basic patterns are well suited to all sorts of topics.
Before I go, here is the card I made using Take a Hike.
That orange polka dot paper is gonna be a favorite of mine...
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the projects I shared today. What memories are you going to scrapbook with Take a Hike?

Love those Simple Basics colors and patterns! In my former life (before kids) I used to do backpacking and I love the topo map paper, especially, but they are all fantastic! TFS!!!
