April's Designer Gallery

Just in time for Easter, a gorgeous set of treat baskets from our altered crafts designer, Roree Rumph. Filled with Easter's most popular yellow icon, "peeps", these baskets would put a smile on just about any early riser come Easter morning! They're cuter than cute!

*The baskets are generated from Cricut's "Spring Cottage" cartridge using a Cricut Expression II machine and our "Pretty Party" patterned papers.

Catering to a similar "party" theme, Suzanne Sergi, celebrates her two daughters via a night on the town! She's used the perfect Crate Paper collection for it too, Pretty Party! Note the layered chipboard frames, Gift Box accent cut and Party Time sticker. A great use of all three!

In Lilith's own words..."I'm an avid paper lover, and the Pretty Party collection nearly stole my heart. The colours are so beautiful and soft, but not too pale. I really wanted to use the pinks even though the layout is about my boys (DH and youngest son). Who says pink is only for girls? I also wanted to incorporate some geometric shapes (another of my latest crazes). I decide to go with triangles which in my opinion, make all the difference. A zest of blue and a splash of yellow and another memory recorded and ready to be placed in our family album."

Sasha Farina surprised us with this sweet "Thank-You" card a few weeks ago. It's linear construction includes Sasha's signature sewing and a collage of elements from Crate's Farmhouse and Random collections.

In Anabelle's own words..."I love how confetti pockets have been showing up on layouts recently. The confetti adds such a fun and whimsical touch to the projects. On this page I decided to made circular pockets filled with confetti. I cut the circles from a page protector, stitched them and added the confetti before finishing off the stitching. I think they gave the page a fun feel and added lots of texture, as well."

Piradee deliver's a vacation layout that show's off StoryTeller's travel-friendly side! If you have plans to travel in the near future, grab a StoryTeller collection kit before you go! That way, you'll be more than ready to scrapbook upon your return home..
