Happy Friday, friends! We are so excited it is Friday, AND the kick-off for our Crop & Create Delivered Papercrafting event tonight! If you’re joining us, be sure to get rested up for a weekend of fun and creativity!

Do you have any trips coming up? If so, you’ll LOVE the new collection our friends at Simple Stories are sharing with us today! Maybe it will make you book that trip that’s on your bucket list, just so that you have an excuse to get these new products! Let’s take a look!

Hello to all of our paper crafting friends! We hope you are ready for a fun weekend of creating ~ we have some inspiration to get you started! We just shipped our latest collections to your local store and you will LOVE them, in fact, it was hard to choose which one we’d highlight for you, but with spring, summer, and fall vacations in the works, we want to inspire you with our new Here + There Collection! Whether your destination is close to home or far away, this traveler collection was created with YOUR destinations in mind. We love the rich color palette and the cute travel icons—you’ll need this collection to document all of your upcoming adventures!

Here are a few of the latest projects from our amazing team featuring the Here + There Collection and some inspiration to get your creative ideas going!

Tara Chaussee created an incredible Travel Foldout Booklet with many inserts, pockets, and places to display your photos, journaling, memorabilia and so much more! You can see the project HERE, on our blog, in full detail! Tara used a Here + There Collection Kit to create small mini books to fit within the travel album! It’s a fun way to create even more options for documenting and it’s simply a matter of folding papers and layering! Add unique details with our pretty Decorative Brads, Bits & Pieces icons, and pre-designed cards created for those perfect titles and journaling prompts!

Tara’s album has three folds to open up even more space for design and storage! We love all of the little pocket details and tucked pieces that can be pulled out for hidden journaling! Look at those cute tags from our Tag Elements paper!  So many details in our collections are pre-finished, you just add your touch to them!

Complete your travel book with an eyelet and ribbon closure —or you can simply wrap a ribbon tie around your entire album to keep it simple—either way, that texture ribbon creates is the perfect finishing touch!

And, if creating a full travel book on your own feels a bit overwhelming, try these layout options from team members Brianna Lepper and Nathalie DeSousa. They are such a fun way to highlight your travel memories!

We know you’ll LOVE using this collection as much as we have, so we’re giving away one Here + There Collection prize package!

Thanks for joining us today and be sure to follow our social media pages Instagram & Facebook, and our blog, and sign up for our newsletter to see the latest inspiration on all of the Simple Stories products on a regular basis! Have a creative weekend!
