It's an exciting, lively week at Crate Paper, and American Crafts. The warehouse has taken on a large arrangement of new shipments that include Crate Paper's Acorn Avenue & On Trend collections. Also, there's Sleigh Ride patterned papers and stickers, with the remainder arriving the end of October. As we prepare to deliver the fantastic, Summer '12 CHA releases to retailers, the Crate Paper blog is undergoing a behind-the-scenes makeover that will be of a familiar format, but with updated designs & a "trendy" personality to better match all our awesome new products! Upon it's premier, will be a very special multi-collection giveaway, a free downloadable CP Blinkie, renovated DT project galleries, fancy graphic headers, and other streamlined additions. And lastly, starting this month, most the projects you find here, will be exclusive to Acorn Avenue & On Trend. The CP Girls are already maximizing their stash, pulling together ideas to incite & inspire! The release is in full swing!

"I had so much fun layering goodies from the Little Bo Peep line on this page. Throughout the layout and around my photos, I used a lot of foam adhesive to add dimension. Beneath the photos is a pink chipboard frame and to the left, is a die-cut star burst decorated with a cluster of chipboard and cute pink brad."
Janna's layout is a blend of Acorn Avenue and On Trend, literally. If you take a close look at the photographs, you'll catch a peek of both - someone had a "Happy Mail" day!! Love the quad set-up, too - tons oh' fun!

An amusement park trip & a gorgeous, glowing sunset sit beautifully on top of Crate's "Party Guest" patterned paper {Backside} - sometimes, it takes only one sheet to truly set the tone of a layout. The pink is serene, just like the photo.
"I opted to create this little catalog booklet for my ever growing typewriter collection (Honestly, I think I've gone crazy). The Booklet has a total of 12 pages (room for 12 typewriters), but unfortunately, the rest are currently in transit."
*We spot Story Teller behind them typewriters!!

Crafted from the "Little Boy Blue" collection, is a hand made card and box of the same sparkling theme, stars galore! The first set of stars are stamped and the second, is a die-cut box, trimmed and formed from paper. They're a precious set!
