Ya'll are breaking my budget ten times over! I love everything so far! I think this is a pretty versatile collection even if you don't do a lot of camping! Great job again!
Posted by: Crystal aka Caitlynsmommy | July 11, 2012 at 03:58 AM
Oh wow! We own a travel trailer and camp at least 3 weekends a month in the summer and fall....And I do take photos of each trip. This line is perfect in every way!!!!!

OH! I want to go camping... such nice stuff :)
Posted by: Nancy McMahon | July 11, 2012 at 04:27 AM
We don't like camping, but really like hiking. I'll put it on my must have list.
Maybe it's better not to look here next week. The list is getting bigger and bigger...

I hate camping, but I love this line. Lots of versatility there again.
Posted by: Sue G | July 11, 2012 at 04:42 AM
This is the most awesome line yet! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it! The woodgrain paper is my absolute favorite. I am going to have to take out a loan just to buy everything I want. :0)
THANKS!
Posted by: Kendra | July 11, 2012 at 04:47 AM
One look at this, and I was immediately transported back to being a kid in MN, and our family camping every weekend in the summer. Crystal clear water in the lake, the heavy scent of pine, the crackle of the campfire... Can't wait until I can find this collection locally!
Posted by: KerryInMT | July 11, 2012 at 04:50 AM
I would LOVE to win this! Between family camping and Girl Scouts, I have a TON of camping photos to scrap!
Posted by: JennyLilac | July 11, 2012 at 04:59 AM
I love the basics again! May have to get some of the journal cards too as my dad is a keen fisherman
Posted by: Dawn Cheshire | July 11, 2012 at 05:01 AM
I like it! I think it's quite versatile since each sheet of paper has a side that's not themed outdoors. I'm not an outside person but I could definitely still use this collection for other things. Very nice!
Posted by: Amy | July 11, 2012 at 05:04 AM
The Simple Basic kits are such a good idea...but I am going to need ALL of it. Love the rich colors!
Posted by: robin | July 11, 2012 at 05:08 AM
I just recently found your blog and so glad because I just love, love this collection. We hike every weekend, so this will be perfect. Cant wait to get this one.

Posted by: Jennifer D | July 11, 2012 at 06:07 AM
This may be the best hiking/outdoor line I have ever seen. A lot of times they are too childish. Love the colors too.
Posted by: Celeste B. | July 11, 2012 at 06:08 AM
I adore this line, it is so versatile for each season spent in the outdoors. I just can't wait to get my hands on it. Thank you Simple Stories, AGAIN!

Posted by: julie e | July 11, 2012 at 06:31 AM

OK, so I'm really not a camping person, BUT we are going to a lake in Georgia for a week this summer, and these papers would be PERFECT for that and for Thanksgiving too. I love that clean bold alphabet also. What a fun collection!

Posted by: Jennifer S | July 11, 2012 at 07:15 AM
I saw the title of this collection and I was at first a little disappointed. I don't camp. Then when I started looking at the papers I got a little excited. There are some really versitile pieces in this collection. Lost of great B sides. Love the color combination. Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Tiffany M | July 11, 2012 at 07:15 AM
Great line! LOVE these colors! My son likes "camping out" which means couches tipped over and braced against each other to make a cave, cushions on the floor to sleep on, etc. or using his indoor pop-up "tent" (all of 5x4' and 3' tall... maybe). He'll be 5 on Sat. so it's enough to keep him thrilled. I can SO see scrapping some of these "campouts" with this line!
Posted by: jengd | July 11, 2012 at 07:20 AM
Perfect for guy layouts and camping memories!! Love this!
Posted by: Margie Visnick | July 11, 2012 at 07:21 AM
