In saying good-bye to 2011, Crate Paper brings the year's final set of design team projects to you, along with a boost of inspiration to reign in 2012! And as you take a peek at them, remember, that with the new year, you can expect to see an even better Crate Paper with it's familiar tell-tale vintage edge mixed with the usual hints of modern flair. We'll also be updating the team near the end of January and staging new ideas for the Crate Paper blog. If you've any feedback to share, we'd love to hear that as well! Happy New Years to all!
Crate Paper DT Artist :: Geralyn Sy
Some of you might already have a few inches of snow on the ground and begun the winter layout preparation process. If so, the Peppermint Collection offers a perfect color & pattern palette to help summarize it's popular snow laden festivities! Just look at Geralyn's ultra colorful mini album, it's filled to the brim with good old fashion Winter fun!
CP Design Team Artist :: Geralyn Sy
This is a complete contemporary take on Random that we've not ever seen before. Leave it to Geralyn to show us that Random doesn't always have to be "so Random". We love it!
CP Design Team Artist :: Lexi Bridges
More snow and a reminder of Fall, both these layouts show how kindly our collections take to non-traditional scrapbook materials. And with the popularily of mixed media lately, we love seeing the two come together in fun, unexpected ways! For example, check out the Lexi's cotton filled vellum/pattern paper pocket and adorable plastic doily frame via her last layout..Cute stuff!
CP Design Team Artist :: Rahel Menig
The star/accordian flower pair is perfect as a holiday/winter emblem - constructed from Peppermint's "Candy Cane" and "Winter Green" papers, Rahel's commonly familiar white backdrop leaves ample room for them to shine! Simply pretty...
CP Design Team Artist :: Stephanie Dagan
There's a smidgen of every Fall 2011 CP collection in Stephanie's bi-folded/encased stand-up photo display. It's 2011's final CP project to debut here, and as such, the combination of collections seems fitting given the timing! It's exsquisitely constructed, too. Thank-you Stephanie!
On behalf of Crate Paper, may 2012 bring you more creative successes and unforgettable memories! Thank-you for joining us today!

I love all the eye candy in this post! Every single project is gorgeous. I just bought Crate products for the very first time in 2011 (I love that some of the products are now made in the USA), and I'm looking forward to seeing what Crate will come out with in 2012. Happy New Year!
