Welcome to day two of our Fall Preview. What can we say? We were overwhelmed by all your comments yesterday about our new Farmhouse Collection. Thanks, we are really excited about it too. The Fall Preview giveaway winners will be announced on Thursday. Good Luck to all!
Our first collection previewing today is our new, ultra hip Random Collection. When designing this collection we really wanted to mix all of our favorite surroundings that we love. I also have been really inspired by my grandmother's hand quilted blankets that have amazing random patterns all stitched together. The crazy color and pattern combinations just work! With that inspiration in mind we combined paper, fabric, textiles, wallpaper, denim (my favorite paper) and adorable curtains. Mixing and matching random things together is what I love about designing and I hope that random will make it one of your favorite styles too.
Now get out there and mix things up and be random.
Our second collection debuting today had me singing Christmas songs in May, which was contagious for my family. It got so bad that my three year old daughter wanted to go to the mall and see Santa. (Way too early to start that, so I had to tone it down a bit). I'm hoping that our Peppermint Collection will get you in the Holiday spirit. The Peppermint Collection has a fun, playful vintage undertone with traditional Christmas and winter elements. With all the beautiful colors it looked so yummy we had to name it peppermint.
Hopefully the Peppermint Collection makes your Holidays a little sweeter this year!
Thanks for coming by today! We hope you have enjoyed the sneak peeks. Again, we can't wait to hear what you think. Please leave a comment and you will be entered into our giveaway. We will be giving away one full Random and one Full Peppermint Collections, (all the papers and embellishments). Winners will be announced on Thursday.
Please come back for more inspiration and giveaways over the next two weeks. Our CP girls are busy designing and you don't want to miss all their previews. A big thanks to our Blog & Design Team Coordinator Christine Middlecamp for all her hard work and beautiful layouts for the preview.
The new collections will be in your LSS around the mid to end of August.
Attention Retailers: Online ordering is now available.
Totally digging these sweet designs! Adding both lines to my "must haves" list for sure!

Wow, these new lines are as amazing as yesterdays preview! I die for the Random line...I so hope I win! And the Peppermint line (YUM) has already inspired me to start thinking about what I want to do for my December Dailies journal.
