Soon to Arrive: New Collections + Reader's Gallery

We've really great news from the Crate Paper warehouse!! Just a few short days ago, Crate's brand new collections started shipping to both online and local retailers!! We're hoping that by the end of this week, the collections will begin to pop up so that you'll finally have the opportunity to enjoy them for yourself and any upcoming projects you might have on the schedule in the months ahead. Keep your eyes open and monitor our Facebook page for further updates as our retailers routintely visit us there with the sale of Crate's latest products!

And now for another round of projects from Crate's talented fanbase...

As always, a "standout showcase creation" is selected as a take-home winner of a Crate Paper collection kit and with this week's Reader's Gallery, it's Stacey Michaud's "Girl" layout that captured our attention the most! Not only is the photo of the orange dress too cute for words, but so is the journal card title! It's the first time a journal card has found us this way - love it! Congratulations Stacey - please forward your info to cpblog@cratepaper.com!

Here are a couple of more children inspired layouts from Stacey...

A recent "Aussie Scrap Source" contribution, Kathie Link emailed us her latest Emma Shoppe/Toy Box creation - it reflects upon the similarities of hobbies throughout various generations! What a great story for intermixing both collections on one layout!

The spontanious, playful feel of Helene Lambert's layouts and her creative use of Crate's product packaging are qualities we really love to see here at Crate. It's almost all too easy to look past the packaging, don't you think?

In mentioning that "Emma's Shoppe" is one of her favorite collections to us via email, Tonya Dirk forwarded two precious layouts our way, both uniquely composed and beautifully made. Thank-you Tonya!

As a brief reminder, and if interested in having your CP project'(s) featured on the Crate Paper blog as part of our ongoing Reader's Gallery feature, please email them to cpblog@cratepaper.com - projects submitted should be at least 75% Crate Paper (Old or New Collections Welcome!).
