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. ;)
It's Fair Week here in America's Heartland, and when I think of blue, it reminds me of the beautiful blue sky and white puffy clouds we will see when looking up at the Ferris Wheel!! Also, the last little bit of beautiful blue sky we will see each night right before the sun sets and a great concert starts! Have a great week and we will too!! Here's wishing you lots of blue skies!

Shades of blue remind me of winter, the coolness and crispness. Of course, the papers could be used for summer pool/beach pictures, our high school team colors are blue and, of course, winter. Very versatile color with so many shades!

What beautiful colors in this kit. How much fun it would be to use it for our trip to Belize. The blue reminds me of the ocean there. Fantastic!

This time of year the color blue reminds me of Sea glass and the ocean. My birthstone is aquamarine- love that! My favorite color is teal/aqua. We are headed to the beach and I am hoping for blue skys for my beach photos and layouts!

Blue reminds me of the vastness of sky and space, waters of the largest ocean or narrowest creek, and, last but not least, my husband's eyes. This kit would work quite well for anything from a trip to the ocean to a trip to the mountains with all the shades of blue and green.

The ocean - so many different shades of blue - - and fishing!
I'd be scrapping pics from our fishing trips!

There's just something about the beauty of any shade of "Blue"....... I was always a fan of "Purple" even did my time with the long "Purple" coat which all my friends claimed made me look like the "Purple" friend of Ronald McDonald :-( then about 10 years ago, I discovered how variety is available in the color of "Blue"..... It's such a young and refreshing color so even though I am "over the hill" now, wearing the color "Blue" seems to knock a few years off of me (inside and out)...... so I won't be changing colors anytime soon! Love this kit and your new releases, ohhh-la-la!

The beach near my house, the pool, the sky, and my son's blue eyes . .

The color blue reminds me of Greece and the white houses with blue doors and domed roofs against the backdrop of a turqoise sky and an azure sea.

Blues of the ocean & sky (makes me relax just thinking about it). Being from Kansas, I like all things tropical. I would "play" at designing some cards. Thanks!
