Hey scrappers with boys in their lives!
Simple Stories Bro & Co ships this month! Looks like it will work well with CV Legendary and VB We Wander. Love the greys with the blues & oranges. And the stars, of course. You can never have too many stars! |

I LOVE the colors, but the last SS boy line I got up at TM was very difficult to use. I don't mind it being geared towards boys, but the icons are just SO SPECIFIC. Controller? Okay. Guitar? Not so much. Records and skateboards? No go there, too.

Love that they are trying. It also has a chubby fox face that I adore. Not all the icons match, but there is always a B side that I can use too.

I'm looking forward to this collection for its color palette & classic patterned papers, especially the beautiful plaid on the reverse of the 3x4 elements sheet, not for the themed papers or embellishments. I particularly dislike the excited/whiskers font, & many of the icons are not applicable to our teen. ...CV Legendary and VB We Wander... Cocoa Vanilla Legendary & Vicki Boutin Let's Wander? |

Sorry. I never get the first word right in the Vicki line. |

Yup, and hopefully soon. I preordered a bunch of it! Perfect for ds.
I also ordered Bazzill solid colors that match.
Interestingly enough, I preordered the SS paper line at ACOT and could only get the cardstock at SB.com
🤷🏼♀️
That of course arrived 2 days ago lol

I really like the papers, but the embellishments don't work for me.

I do love those colors. Love the stars.
Embellishments usually don't work for me because they are so specific. Like, my kids have 3ds, not xbox/PlayStation controllers. and I'll be the weird one and say I don't get why a fox is relevant.
But I do love the colors.

I absolutely love this line. I'm getting all of the embellishments and 2 of each of the papers.
The embellishments are perfect for my boys- records, record player, airpods, xbox controller, hoodie, guitar, headphones, jeans, phone, pizza, french fries, tacos, backpack...
I especially like the fact they used "yeet" and have those checkered vans that every teenager (girl and boy) wear at my school.
I don't know why scrapbook designers think kids say "rad". They don't, at least not in my area.

I was tempted by this one but the Great Escapes got my money. I live in the PNW and couldn't resist the mushrooms and ferns and the sticker book. Or maybe I need Bro and Co also... It's a sickness. Need.all.the.things...

Ohhh thanks, I did not know about this line and it is perfect for my son.
I loved the Simple Stories Lil Dude collection which I have been using lately but my son is 11 and is past the dinosaurs and toy truck stage, this line is perfect for him right now.

I ordered a few bit and pieces of this collection today from Scrapbook.com since it is so perfect for my boys. I'd never use the whole collection and I am still trying to no/low spend this year.

Got my shipping notice. Let's see how long it will take. So far I haven't experienced any delays with FedEx UPS, and USPS. ACOT orders typically take 5 to 7 days to get here once shipped. Once it took 10 (non holiday pre covid so 🤷♀️).
Can I just say I am NOT a fan of Smart Post. Despise it. Adds an extra 1-3 days on ship time. Just keep it with FedEx and have it come to my door...not stuffed into my small box 🙄

I got my order today and I love it. I wish I had ordered more of the star paper. Both sides of that particular piece I can see myself using over and over.

I was pleasantly surprised and happy that my order took 2 days, TWO DAYS, to arrive.
I know A Cherry On Top visits us sometimes, so if you are reading this way to go! No dang Smart Post. Just straight FedEx and 2 day shipping!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My pre-order from Simple Stories shipped on the 11th and will be here on the 23rd... it was originally going to be the 20th but I guess it decided to take the even more scenic route to Washington State... At least by the time it gets here I'll have forgotten what I ordered so it will be like Christmas  |
