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. ;)
Blue reminds me of my little home town, the sea, the sky, the breeze (yes I know, a breeze does not have a color but if it would have, I am sure it would be bright blue :-). -Sigh- I am living in a big city and the sky has been grey for weeks now... I would need that superb kit to make my sky blue again! :-)

Blue reminds me of my children's eyes :-) There are SO many scrapping opportunities to use this color as I have SO many photos of them! It also reminds me of the color of the ocean on my honeymoon in the Maldives 12 years ago - something else I still have to scrap!!! :-) The design team's work is fantastic - thanks for the inspiration :-)

the color of turquoise blue reminds me of the lakes at the Glacier Park National I went last year. I got a thousand picture of that trip. Cardstock of that color is so beautiful so if I win the awesome kit, I'd work on two albums of that trip since I took a thousand pictures.
thanks for the giveaways.

The color blue is all about water, summer and relaxation. I live near some man-made lakes. So everytime I drive down the road past them in the cloudy days af late winter/early spring, they give me hope that summertime, with it's lazy days and beach outings, is coming. Thinking of the blue waters of lake Michigan always helps me relax.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Blue just makes me happy! I would do a layout about the blue ocean and the sound of the waves, or the beautiful blue eyes both of my daughters have, or just a layout using somoe fun, happy pictures of things we did this summer!

Blue reminds me that my little boy, who is Autistic, FINALLY told me his favorite color the other day.. after years of me asking what is was. He just came up to me after playing with his cars and said "Mommy, my favorite color is blue!". I cried and cried for a good 15 mins. Little things like that with him are the BEST!

I have 2 rooms painted 2 different shades of blue, the livingroom and the computer/craft room. If it were up to me alone the shutters outside would also be blue....guess you could say I like blue..lol

Blue is a calming color for me. I also think of the ocean when I think of blue. I'd love to have that blue in my scrapping space someday

The color blue is my absolute favorite color. It reminds me of the ocean...of which I am thankful that I live very close too. I love that every shade of blue imaginable is found in the ocean. I have 2 little boys and they both love the color blue too...I would do some pages of them from this summer playing in the water, this kit would be perfect for that!
