joining simple stories

i'd been wandering around the new vendors area at CHA in january and found this fun new company with some really great designs, and that's how i met amber amber crowell, the owner. we chatted, exchanged cards and left it at that. a few weeks ago, i got an email from amber asking me if i'd be interested in joining the simple stories design team for a bit. the simple stories philosophy uses photo sleeves as their basis for scrapbooking our lives. it's exactly what the name implies, simple and easy ways to tell your stories.

i was a little worried because, although i'm a simple scrapper, i don't use sleeves, i'm a full layout kind of girl. amber assured me that she knew that and i was exactly what she wanted, someone who could help show that simple stories is very flexible, their products will fit any style of scrapper. with that assurance, i agreed to join the fun. they've just launched their blog and released their newest line called 100 days of summer. it's a bright happy collection with some lovely little alphas that come on one large sheet of 4 different alphas and some word and phrase stickers. i am a sucker for mini alphas. i join a team of some very talented girls, i'm excited for the opportunity :)

here's a layout i created using 100 days of summer:
