Spring is here (ok, almost) and we are excited to show off the new 2011 collection. We are thrilled to have CP's Creative Director Lisa here with us today to show us the 4 new collections. But first lets have a peek at our first collection previewing today Emma's Shoppe.
Hi, it's Lisa here with you today. The designs of our four new collections have been a long time coming and I can't believe we finally get to share them with you. Well, what do you think? I know, I love Emma too.
When I was trying to think of the concept of our girl collection I kept thinking of those old vintage (pink) girl kitchens and of course my daughter. I decided we needed Girl Vintage with a lot of pink and color! But mostly I looked around my little girls room and sure enough I found the best inspiration there... PRETTY FLOWERS. So for the flower inspiration we can thank my 3 year old daughter Addison. But Addison has a 6 year old brother Taylor and the second I went into his room all I could see was toys (literally, I couldn't see the floor), and that brings us to our next collection today, Toy Box.
This collection is all boy, but how old is too old to play with toys? I was taking pictures of the chipboard at my house and left the room for one minute and when I returned all the toys in my chipboard pile were missing. In on the kitchen floor I found my husband and little boy with them. They were playing with the helicopter, army guys, dump truck and cars on the floor. It made me smile because I don't think we ever really grow up, we continue to love race cars, army guys, little dolls, pretty flowers and pink. Thanks to Emma's Shoppe and Toy Box we can continue to play!
Thanks for coming by today to see what we have been up to. I hope you have enjoyed the two new collections, I'll see you tomorrow to share more. A HUGE thanks to our amazing CP Girls. Just wait until you see all the inspiring designs they have in store for you.
We want to know what your favorites are so leave a comment about what you love from each collection for a chance to win a toy box or emma collection (winners choose). We will pick two lucky winners!
ALL I CAN say is WOW! I am in love with BOTH lines.... especially the TOY BOX line. My boy pages are going to get a breath of new life!!!

I really like both of them but I LOVE Toy Box. I can see so many layouts with the chipboard pieces.

I love the papers in both these lines. I don't have boys or girls to scrap, so some of the embellishments I wouldn't use but that won't keep me from buying paper, trims and buttons.

Oh My...how can I pick a favorite when they are all so fun. Well if I had to choose I would say Emma Collection. I have a niece and this would be so perfect for us to craft together. She would just love it. When she comes over to visit she always says auntie what are we going to make today. So sweet. Well thanks for the chance to win...I hope it is my lucky day.

I really love the Toy Box line and it will be great for scrapping pages of my 5 year old son. I love the colours in it. And all the toy images are just fun.

These are adorable. Toy Box is great for boys but as my local scrap shop - Imagine That is Emma's shop then Emma's Shoppe is the one for me :)

picking my jaw up off the floor..I am having visions of pictures of my daughter that Emmas shoppe would be perfect for! I adore the hints of pink and yellow and that chipboard is oh so cute. And Toy Box, gasp how great, makes me wish i had a little boy...thank god for NEPHEWS! I love the checker board paper! And the camo print and airplanes I could go on and on and on! Great Job!
