Since the evolution of the Crate Paper blog, there's been a long-standing design team member committed to sharing her graphically tailored design style with us. You've more than likely seen her name here numerous times, as well as her creations. Nearly everything she makes is beautiful, seamless and inspiring. Last month, Kaori Watanabe shared news of her challenge site with us, Pages of My Book. Upon introduction, she inquired as to our sponsorship of April's challenge, "Shine". Given how truly thankful we are for her constant presence, we happily volunteered and made available a sampling of Pretty Party Papers, Stickers and matching American Crafts glitter paper as the end-of-the-month prize!
The challenge site details are as follows...
"Pages of My Book is a Japanese scrapbooking challenge site. It was established in October of 2011 by myself, and Michi. The both of us wanted to create a site where everyone could visit, have fun and be inspired by words and images, especially the growing Japanese scrapbook community! Fortunately, the site has been successful thanks to our participants, and talented design team members. We're grateful, and honored, to have Crate Paper sponsor us during the month of April."
"Lilith Eckels is this month's guest designer - she's been assigned the task of selecting April's challenge winner!"
Crate Paper Designer :: Lilith Eckels
PMB Designer & Founder :: Michi
Crate Paper Designer :: Kaori Watanabe
Best of luck to those that'll be playing along with the site's challenge this month! And don't forget, the winner takes home a box of Crate Paper's very own, Pretty Party ;) The winner will be chosen the end of April and announced at the Pages of My Book blog.
Gorgeous layouts!!
