Welcome back, friends, Layle here with you for Day 4 of our Winter 2014 Reveal week! We've had a fantastic week so far with DIY™ - Design It Yourself, many new SN@P! products and our 4 new Simple Sets,. Can you believe we still have 3 more days of brand spankin' new Simple Stories goodness to share?!
We're known among scrapbookers and paper crafters for our paper collections, so you just know those had to be coming next, right? :)
Let me introduce you to Homespun!
Document your family memories with Homespun by Simple Stories. Burlap, gingham and flirty florals combined with stitched & embroidered accents make this collection a new family favorite. There’s no place like home when you’re creating with Homespun!
Insta-Squares are a new product for us. If you've been following along with us all week, you may remember Tuesday when I introduced our new 6x8 Insta Pocket Pages with 2x2, 3x3 & 4x4 pockets. Well, these new Insta-Squares, in 2x2, 3x3, & 4x4 sizes are designed to work with those new Insta Pocket Pages!
How about those Recipe Pages & Recipe cards? The Recipe Pages are designed to fit the SN@P! Binders - perfect for creating your own recipe book! Even better - the Recipe Pages are coated for stain resistance, perfect for a recipe book, especially when you're a MESSY cook like me!
Now that you've seen all of the beautiful Homespun products, how about a few Homespun projects to whet your appetite before Homespun starts shipping next month?
In case you were thinking Homespun won't work with masculine subjects, no siree! Kelly Goree created this fabulous layout with photos of her husband, their three sons and their dog!
I used the Homespun coated Recipe Divider Pages and the 4x6 Recipe Cards to create this fun SN@P! Recipe binder to capture our family's favorite recipes -
How about a couple of fun Homespun cards?

If you're not a Simple Stories follower on Instagram, now might be a good time to start, I'm just sayin'!
