After a week's worth of debuting CP's newest products, the trade show is finally over and rumor has it that Steve and Lisa are on their way home to Utah this afternoon. Before I progress further into the post, let me quickly mention that it is me, Christine Middlecamp, posting today. Unlike the rest of the CP crew, I arrived home yesterday from Chicago after three days of playing with all the new products, including Crate's. I had a chance to spend some time with CP both at the show and outside the show and let me tell you, we had a fabulous time! The show itself was a huge success and the collections were extremely popular among show goers. We heard it through the grapevine that CP's collections were a top favorite by many. As a means of celebrating, I'm secretly giving away all three new collections! Are you up for it? Tell CP which collection you love most and then mention where you think you'll pick it up! I'll return Monday with the selected weekend winner and also, last week's School Spirit giveaway winner. We'll dedicate Monday to "Winners" only! Good luck you guys and thank-you for your continued support of all things Crate Paper!
Here are but a few more images of Crate Paper's booth (in full commotion - though not necessarily apparent because I grabbed photos while the coast was clear!) and just because I'm able (and I know Lisa will love me for this), I posted a cute image of Lisa and her sister together during our time away at one of Chicago's best well known pizza-maken' establishments, Giordano's! Num....
My favourite new collection is definitely restoration, which I plan on picking up at my LSS: My Scrap Shoppe in Winkler, Manitoba, Canada.

I really LOVE all 3 collections, and *need* all of them! That said, I fell in love with Restoration from the moment the first peek of it was revealed! I hope to pick it up at My Scrapbook Nook! Any of the 3 would be great in a kit!

For me it's a toss up between Restoration and Snow Day... but I think it's going to have to Restoration. The embellishments are jsut beautiful! However, when and where I'll be able to get it is another matter! Things take ages to get to the UK and stockists are a bit hit and miss.

Of the new collections, Restoration is my fav! However, how can one resist any of the lines?! I can understand why you were so well received at the show. Maybe someday I will get to attend a show! I will be buying my Crate Paper at ScrapsGalore in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

It is really hard to choose only one because they are all fabulous, but I guess Snow Day. I'm hoping that my LSS, Whim-So-Doodle, gets all the new Crate lines.
Posted by: Kelly English | July 30, 2010 at 01:28 PM
For sure Restoration. Isn't it EVERYONES? It's beautiful!

The booth looks fab. I LOVE Restoration! I'd pick it up at Scrapbook U in Fremont, California.

Pink Plum is fab but let me say I really love them all.Everything looked so beautiful. Glad you had a great time.
I will be searching on-line to order.

I am so in love with snow days and it doesn't even snow where I am!!! I am hoping my local online shop is going to start stocking CP, otherwise i will be searching the internet online for it.

Restoration has to be my favorite new line of the entire show..it is a #1 must have for me, and unless I am lucky enough to win it here, I will be picking it up A Cherry on Top....my favorite on-line store.

well my favorite is restoration too but honestly CP really really outdid itself this time. the new lines are even more amazing than CP's usual amazing. I will likely buy CP goodies from A Million Memories.

I love Restoration and Brook! I will be shopping on line as I live in New Zealand now. : )

While I love Restoration, I have to say my favorite is the School spirit line - it makes my heart go pitter pat!! I will most likely have to order this from one of my favorite online stores like Cherry On Top.
