Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Parkin and I'm the Creative Director at Crate Paper. I'm excited to take over the blog today and share our newest collection, Open Road. The Open Road Collection is an adorable summer and travel collection with a hip, retro vibe. The collection has a universal color palette, so it'll work well for all your friends and family! I hope you enjoy Open Road, but be warned: you're going to want to jump in your car and take a road trip this weekend just to have pictures to scrap! Yes, it's that cute!
Isn't that a fun collection?! I absolutely adore the cool vibe this collection gives off and of course, all the adorable icons. That bandana paper is just so much fun—I can't wait to get my hands on it! Open Road will be available in your local retail store in mid-May.
We would love to hear your favorite part of the collection. Leave a comment below and you could win a Open Road prize pack! The winner will be announced on Monday, April 21st. Good Luck!
Thanks for all the support you give to Crate. I'll be back soon to share some notes and things from our next collection.
This collection is so cute! And yes I do want to have a getaway now to have some pictures to scrap! I can't decide whether I like the mini accordion book or the journaling cards better. For now I'll pick mini accordion book. :)

I was prepared not to love this collection, but you got me - I love every single thing - the ephemera and stitched banners might be my favorites though!

What a fun collection! I love the Standouts and Stitched Banners the most, I believe! This would be such a fun collection for the graduation road trip my daughter and ten of her friends are taking to the beach! Fun! Thanks for the opportunity!

I LOVE it all...especially the vintage cars designs. We're going on a road trip in early June, so if I don't win it, I'll just have to buy it!
