{a classic collection to document life's special occasions}
Sophistication meets simplicity with our all new DOCUMENTED collection. A spin off from our lovely Documented 6x8 album, journal/scrapbook album pages and pockets, we created a complete paper collection to match! The Documented paper collection features beautiful patterns and designs mixed with classic tonal colors to bring out the very best of any special occasion or everyday moment. Add a pop of color here or a classic black-and-white or sepia photo there - and it all blends together to create gorgeous memories!
This beautiful classic collection is all about documenting the special moments in your life. Since the beginning of Simple Stories we get asked time and again when we're coming out with a wedding/anniversary collection. After all it's one of the biggest moments in our life and there's always lots of photos of this special occasion....so it's a perfect fit for Simple Stories products!
Documented is a completely versatile collection that is not only perfect for wedding and anniversary photos, but also for couples, family, love, vintage, heritage or everyday moments! We LOVE providing products to help you document your memories in a quick, easy, beautiful and creative way...and this collection is definately no exception...paired with the coordinating Documented album series you can create truly stunning projects!
{PS - We especially LOVE the different spin on the Simple Basics patterns for this line - we went with very neautral, classic and BEAUTIFUL background prints and a few accent papers that can be used for any project - and they coordinate with the 6x8 album pages and pockets perfectly!}
{It's your life: Document it!} What moments would you like to document? Leave a comment and let us know (and of course don't forget to tell us what you love about our new Documented collection!) We'll choose one reader to win the entire new collection - contest ends Friday, February 3 (Winner will be announced Monday, February 7!)

Simple Stories...you've done it again. This collection is so versatile and timeless. I can see myself using it in my Project Life Albums and it would also make gorgeous cards and home decor projects.

We took a special 2 week "history tour" trip with our teenagers, before their lives get to busy to keep them from going with us... Was a great time and this paper would really complete that album!!!
Posted by: Jodi K | January 26, 2012 at 05:29 AM
Love the versatility of this collection. The muted colours will make sure your pictures are the main focus of your layout, not the other way around. Love the journalling flash cards, great way to add interest and not bulk.
