Once upon a time, Crate had an ongoing tradition of hosting their "Designer Showcase" on the weekends, a post solely dedicated to Crate Paper's CP Girls whom routinely submit new crafty projects almost every week for sharing on the blog. Ultimately, change beckoned and with it, came the decision to shift the schedule slightly so as to make room for our "Designer Showcase" during the week, rather than the weekend! In making the slight adjustment, us Crate folks felt it was time to shake things up a bit by bringing forth more variety in terms of everyday creations and traditional layouts so that you, Crate's biggest fans, have more to look at and possibly "pin" while hanging out here! And if "pinning", please take a moment to note the source of the project - spread the "Crate Paper" love. :)
Random seems to be a major favorite amongst our designers and this latest layout (along with the following) is proof of it's popularity. Both are classic and beautifully layered with hints of sophistication, a common thread throughout Michiko's layouts.
And who says Farmhouse isn't perfect for celebrating school milestones, especially considering that school begins in a few short weeks? Amy Heller demonstrates that Farmhouse pulls through in highlighting the upcoming school year with this adorable layout about her preschool graduate.
Oh, Chevrons, need we say more? Two very first layouts from Geralyn made way to us a week or so ago and we simply couldn't wait to post them here. She's of course one of our new designers and we love her simple, graphic scrapbook style to pieces!
Round one of this month's Designer Showcase is to conclude for the day! Thank-you for stopping by to find out what our girl's have been up to - Have a great Wednesday everyone!!
W.O.W. Michiko and Geralyn - your pages are AMAZING!!
