I have a bit of fun news to share today, involving one of my very most favorite manufacturers, Simple Stories. You can read the news HERE! I have loved and drooled over their beautiful line of products since they were first released. I love their sweet, homespun, distressed, cozy feel and the way all of their patterns coordinate perfectly like a handmade quilt...just my style.
So in honor of my Simple Stories love affair and the sweet news that I found in my inbox this morning, I have a few projects to share with you today using the Simple Stories Baby Steps collection.
This line is the sweetest baby line on earth and I love that it works for other occasions as well.
The scrunched seam binding used on all of these projects can be found at My Craft Spot.
Papertrey Ink's Tiny Tags stamp set was used on the sentiment tags along with a Maya Road trinket pin, and Melissa Frances crepe paper trim.
Some other fun new to share today involves a new book from Paper Crafts magazine that I had the opportunity to contribute to...it just might be my all time favorite, it's huge and thick and filled with the cutest projects.
This is one of the ensembles I created for this book and you can find so many others included covering any occasion under the sun!
You can enter to win your own copy of this book by visiting the Moxie Fab World blog and leaving a comment.
Have a wonderful day!

Congrats on making the Simple Stories team! I've been a fan since the very first kit was released. Your style is a superb match for their lines. I love the projects you shared today, especially the non-baby items with the Baby Steps line. SS really does make it simple to mix/match and create beautiful things! Looking forward to seeing your creations.
