CHA Summer - SNEAK PEEK #1 - Say Cheese

Hi friends, Layle here! It's been almost 4 months now since I've been at Simple Stories as the new Marketing Director. Since that very first day I started back in April, I've been watching our new products come to life and now we're finally here!

Welcome to the Simple Stories CHA Summer Sneak Peek Week!

Boy do we have some treats in store for you this week, including 3 brand new collections, a new suite of products called SN@P! Sets in 8 themes that will make you positively GIDDY, and a new color added to our family of SN@P! Binders.

And of course, what would a sneak peek week be without a chance to win it before you can buy it? More about THAT at the end of the post ;)

Speaking of when you can buy it - we'll be shipping to retailers in early August, so you won't have to wait long to get your hands on the new Simple Stories goodness!

One quick public service announcement before I dive in - our 12x12 & 6x8 Leather Albums and 12x12 Pocket Pages are 'in da house' - literally! They just arrived TODAY!! That means you can start stalking your favorite retailer or online store for these long awaited beauties next week :)

Alrighty! Here comes the first of our 3 new collections -

so join us for the next week as we reveal our latest collections, have fun giveaways and make some very exciting announcements that you don't want to miss! We have so many exciting things to show you in our first reveal - from a NEW collection, - See more at: http://simplestories.typepad.com/simple_stories/2013/01/cha-winter-2013-sneak-peek-1.html#sthash.6VcOwILY.dpuf

Our new Say Cheese collection is guaranteed to have you smiling from ear to ear! With magical papers & dreamy embellishments, Say Cheese is just the ticket for documenting those happy moments with the whole gang, including the 'Big Cheese' himself!

One of my favorite things about Say Cheese is that it's general enough to be used with every day photos as well, as Jill Cornell did here -

and as Kelly Goree did here -

FUN - I know, right?!

With our 3 new main releases, we've made a fun change to our Basics papers - you now have a color coordinated tonal pattern on the back vs. the general cream and white notebook papers we've done in the past. Love it!

Remember earlier I mentioned we have a NEW! color in our SN@P! Binder album family? BLACK!

The Say Cheese SN@P! Pages below are some of my most favorite yet! These are great for inserting in our SN@P! Binders and even as divider pages in our 12x12 albums. Bet you didn't know the punched holes for the rings were designed to not only fit in both our 6x8 SN@P! Binders and Leather Albums but our 12x12 Leather Albums as well, did you ;)

With 3x4 and 4x6 sizes, our SN@P! Cuts are designed to easily slide right into our Pocket Pages. They're also great for adding to layouts and cards as well.

How about all of these FABULOUS 4x6 and 3x4 cards?! So many great designs. Click on the image below to get a closer look!

Speaking of cards, how about these fun new cards created by Shellye McDaniel?!

For those of you heading to your favorite amusement park this summer, this 4x6 spiral bound Autograph Album with 12 pages and 12 Pocket Pages for inserting photos is a fun way to capture your magical photos and autographs from all your favorite characters, including the 'Big Cheese' himself!

Here's what it looks like after Vicki Boutin added a little bakers twine and gems to the cover and added a photo along with an autograph from the 'big cheese' himself - easy peezy!

For one last reveal today - we're beyond thrilled to announce that once again, Simple Stories and Scrapbook Generation have joined forces to introduce a new exclusive idea book, Sketch Magic with Simple Stories, featuring all-new sketch blueprints that blend perfectly with the unique format of Simple Stories papers and signature elements for quick and creative scrapbooking!
