For those of you already starting to think ahead about what it is you might be scrapbooking this holiday season, let us give you a sample of what the Crate Paper Design Team has been up to lately! There's a lot of "Merry" & "Bright" to go around..and a few last minute November surprises.
If you're seeking to snag a holiday scrapbook collection with zero color shortage, Crate Paper's Sleigh Ride is a sure bet! Just take a peek at Michiko Kato's beautifully made "Deck the Halls" layout - it's aglow in the collection's can't-be-missed color palette!
A personal note from the artist...
Oh how I love the colors and patterns in this collection {Sleigh Ride}! They're perfect for both boys and girls. Good thing it snowed early this year, too - gave me ample reason to use the collection . The silvery touches bring light to the subject and layout.
A personal note from the artist...
In my opinion, Crate Paper always puts out the best Christmas lines! I've been waiting (im)patiently for the appropriate time to begin working with Sleigh Ride (it just may be my favorite Crate Christmas line yet!). Finally, the holiday season is upon us and it was time. I've had this particular layout swirling around in my head for month's, so naturally, I was so excited to see it come to fruition. The colorful holiday patterns of Sleigh Ride coordinate together so wonderfully that they made this layout come together so easily for me. Creating this project really got me into the holiday spirit and I know the collection will do the same for you!

A personal note from the artist...
I love the mix of black and gold together. On Trend's neutral tones were the perfect backdrop for my glittery gold title and spray misting. I added the pop of pink for just a bit of color. And the lettering in the vellum banner was a fun way to tie in gold another way.
A personal note from the artist...
Sometimes the world spins too fast, days fly by and I feel exhausted. Then I need to take some time for myself, turning off the computer, tv and radio, and listen to the voice within. It's important to have days like that, to gain back strength and excitement about life. And from time to time, you need a little reminder.
A personal note from the artist...
I'm taking baby steps towards the wonderful world of Project Life. The idea is one that I have been waiting to try for some time now, but I just never did because of the fear of not keeping up. I soon came to the realization that not keeping up isn't nearly as bad as not ever starting! All of those everyday memories need to find a place and this project will be perfect!
A personal note from artist...
I wanted to create a little something for family and friends that will be visiting here in Belgium and what better way to brighten someone's day than with a little handmade (with love) gift tag set?
A last minute "Thankful" layout from our dear, sweet designer, Tami Gookstetter. It features "On Trend", "Acorn Avenue" and Tami's gorgeous photography (Butterfly Kiss Photography).
