Hi Crate Fans! We here at Studio Calico are THRILLED to be collaborating with Crate Paper once again. You might remember that Crate designed some exclusives for our February kit, and they've done it again for our August kit. BOARDWALK features two beautiful double sided papers made by Crate Paper - and you'll only see them in this kit! Our design team loved the Crate exclusives & couldn't wait to use them! Here's a little peek at what they've made with the papers. You can see the full projects in our BOARDWALK gallery.
We want to give one of YOU a chance to work with these awesome papers as well - so how about a giveaway?! We've reserved one of our BOARDWALK kits for a lucky Crate fan! Please leave us a comment telling us what you the color "blue" reminds you of and how you'd go about playing with it! We'll select our chosen winner on Monday, so you've all weekend to participate! We look forward to reading your responses!
Thanks, Crate, for working with us this month, and for letting us visit your blog! And to all you fans - the Studio Calico crew LOVED the new Crate Lines, and I'm pretty sure you'll see them in upcoming kits. ;)

My daughter has blue eyes, these are the most beautiful in the whole World! She got them from her daddy, who has blue eyes too. When I am scrapping I use blue a lot, just to reflect their eyes

Woo, how fun!! Blue reminds me of the sea and the sky...something serene about the colour! Because it's my fav colour, just scrapping with it makes me happy! But I would go for a family summer theme layout! Preferably picnic n random shots!:) Thanks for the chance to win the awesome giveaway!:)

Gorgeous kit! Blue reminds me of the incredible blue sky of a summer's day, and of the oceans that are all around us here in NewZealand. I would make a summer mini album with it. Or go a bit painterly with it inspired by Blue phase Picasso and grunge it up into a mini all about me..the not so easy things...

The patterns are so soft and relaxed - the type of paper you buy more then once because you keep using it.

Blue waters.....a lake in northern WI, Caribbean seas, Mexican beach, the swimming pool....

Blue was the color of my father's eyes. My sister and I got my mother's brown eyes though. But blue also is the color of the sky and it's what's over all of our heads all the time. I'd love to make something with my father and his blue blue blue eyes sitting outside under the blue skies.

Blue reminds me of water, the ocean, a pool, all different types of water. This kit is perfect for my Costa Rica pictures!

I guess the color blue reminds me of vacation- probably because 95% of our vacations are somewhere by a beach somewhere. Being outside on a "blue bird" day, as my father would call it. Thanks for bringing out the memories!

i love the colour BLUE, so blue reminds me of love, love, love. but on top of that, blue reminds me of the ocean, and the sky above it. love it when different shades of blue come together, so i would love to use blue sparkles on blue for a tone-on-tone look. love, love, love! (:

The color blue reminds me of a beautiful ocean and a big blue sky! I love lots of beach photos to scrap and I would love to use this wonderful kit!!

The color blue reminds me of water, especially deep ocean blue. The ocean is my favorite place to be and I'd be swimming, snorkeling or paddleboarding in that blue water!

The color blue reminds me of my husbnad eyes...enough said I won't get mushy. But I would make at least one fabulous page and a few cards:)

Blue reminds me of the Baltic Sea we are living right at!! And I think I should scrap some photos of the beach days coming up, when the weather starts to brighten up here in northern Germany!! :)

Most definately the blues are so peaceful and calming...like the gorgeous oceans. I use all shades, with no one as my favorite. Love them all!

Blue reminds me of a sparkling lake or the sky on a sunny day. I just got back from South Dakota and am looking forward to creating layouts about Lake Sylvan and many other blue sky days.

I love the color blue and it reminds me of a warm summer day, swimming the pool, my sons and of my late mother, who love the color, because it feels like such a peaceful color
