Hi everyone, so happy to have you back with us today! I'm excited to share our final Spring collection with you: DIY Shop. DIY Shop is a collection of some of our favorite essential items designed with a vintage touch and the signature Crate Paper style. Scattered throughout the collection are several must-haves for the Crate scrapper: wood, numbers, days of the week, months, Crate flowers, doilies and a vintage ephemera pack that is adorable (the gold glitter tags are a perfect touch for any project). Along with all the Crate basics you'll find our new photo overlays, which add an Instagram feel to your photos and of course, our new washi tape. Get ready to get back to Crate basics and make every project a DIY masterpiece!

I hope you loved DIY Shop! And what did I tell you about those overlays? They are way cool! This basic collection can go in so many directions--we love the way Christine showed the softer side of the collection while Anabelle showcased the playful side. The versatility is definitely my favorite part of DIY Shop.
I want to hear what your favorite items are, so leave a comment below and you could win the entire DIY Shop Collection. The winner will be announced Jan 14th.
Thanks for spending the week with us--it has been a lot of fun! We are so excited to have Maggie Holmes in the Crate Paper family and look forward to many exciting collections from her. We appreciate all the comments that you've left--we love the support! We're grateful to be part of your memory keeping efforts.
If your heading to CHA, stop by and say hi--we would love to see you and show you the collections in person!!
Lovely as always! I am loving how you guys have made thickers better!
