Simple Stories sent out an email this morning touting their "Spring Release Week". When I clicked on one of the pages, I was linked to THIS. I see a couple of Summer lines, one sort of tropical and beachy and the other one woodsy and camping. There is also a 4th of July line. For Fall, I see a Halloween line and a SCHOOL LINE!!!! nicolep could probably link the photos directly here, but I thought I would pass on the link. I am a sucker for camping lines and school lines, so I am sure at least those two will find their way into my stash. And I *think* I saw a flamingo in the beachy line, so fans of that bird will be happy... What do you think? |

Look at you, grammadee, enabling us. I thought that was nicolep's job. For my summer lines, I like brighter (purer) shades of color. That summer line is a bit muted for me, but it would work for spring. All their lines are quite nice though. Now living in the mitten in Michigan, I'll probably end up with a few pieces of that camping line. I'm also a sucker for American patriotic themes, so that will probably make it into my hands at some point. I also like their basics 6x6 pad (love all the wood) and their Faith and their Love & Adore 12x12 pads. But unless I see that on sale somewhere I probably won't get those. |

I love the camping and school lines and the 4th of July (I would probably just get the paper) and the summer line....

Thanks, nicolep! I can't believe I missed the Woodgrain & Gingham in my first pass through! And the High Style looks great, too. |

Do you know what I want? That VW camper van! I've never had one in real life, but I've always loved them.

The Summer Days line reminds me a lot of the Summer Vibes line from a couple of years ago. I still have a bit of that line so it might be fun to combine the two. While I like parts of the others none are must haves for me. I'm buying less Simple Stories these days than I have in the past. The lines aren't quite as versatile for me. That said some of the pads look good...fingers crossed I can find them locally.

Same with me, DawnMcD. Will likely try to get pieces of those lines. The summer line is cute as well. There's a school collection coming out next month, too. Perfect for those of us who do school albums. I'll be picking up pieces of this for sure.  |

Well summer I have seen before. In fact instead of a blue VW bus it was a pink one and I used it in my California album. So not going to be buying this - unless I am at convention and I change my mind!
Camping looks good and I like the school line but it is kind of like Photo Play and I wish it wasn't more elementary school paper. My DH and son teach the middle school age kids so I just don't need that really.
Love the Halloween line and have no need for it sadly.

The really like colored wood grain paper--kind of different. That may be going on my wish list.

They had me at "grillin' & chillin" - I *need* that embellishment because we grill all the time in the summer. Also I could use a few of the camping line for our cottage pictures. Now these I can use, seems like there has been so much tropical/ocean stuff and we are lake people here.

I really like the watercoloured sheets in the High Style collection and can see myself using those for backgrounds. There are a couple of other pieces I'll no doubt pick up as well.

I love the High style pad (although will probably not use the pink shades). All the black and white is awesome!
SS is by far my favorite manufacturer! I thought of Summer Vibes when I saw the sunmer line. I'm not big on pink, but I love this line.
Cabin Fever is a must have! We camp, in tents. It's nice to see a camping line that isn't "glamping"!

I love the Cabin Fever one too. When will these be released? I checked a couple of stores but they say "coming soon."

OOoohhhh pretty.
I like that the summer line is a bit muted. It's still bright (if that makes sense) and cheerful but slightly different. I will definetly be purchasing that line. I'll also purchase the 4th of July line.
We're not big campers here. However we do have a "cabin" in the mountains so I'll buy pieces of that line as well.
The others are cute but, personally, I have no use for them so I'll be passing.
Thanks for sharing and enabling. lol I don't normally buy a ton of stuff but, recently, thanks to the peas.....I think Visa is going to be sending admin a thank you card. lol

Do you know what I want? That VW camper van! I've never had one in real life, but I've always loved them. Growing up our family had a blue and white one just like this one but it was a royal blue. Then I met my daughter's father who had burnt orange Combi and then we bought a light blue one. So, I am going to buy this line just for the memories of the Combi alone!  I have never bought from ACOT so this will be my first time. I want to buy so many of these lines you have just linked! Corinne |

Oh,oh so I don't think I will be buying all these lovely packs.  $75 is fine for 2 pads and 2 packs but the cheapest postage is $89!!! Such a shame , I find it so difficult to buy whole packs in Australia, if any Aussies know where please share your secret with me! Corinne |

corinne11 I don't buy from ACOT because of the shipping charges. Scrapbook.com usually takes longer to get the new stuff in but the shipping is really reasonable and the transit time is pretty good (I usually get orders within a couple of weeks to Melbourne). I haven't bought paper pads from them but for about US$ 100 of paper and embellishments shipping is $12.99.

Love that summer line. I must force myself to go and look at all the summer paper I already have first. Maybe the urge to buy it will pass when I see how much I already own!  |

I think quite a bit of it looks similar to former lines so it'll be easier to stay frozen. {Shrug}
