Welcome to the CP blog! My name is Lisa Parkin and I'm the creative director at Crate Paper. I'm excited to be taking over the blog today to share a new Maggie Holmes collection with you: Open Book.
Scrapbookers are the ultimate storytellers. They capture their memories and preserve them for family and friends to enjoy over the years. The new Open Book collection is full of everyday scrapbooking, storytelling and photography elements that will make your life story and open book that will be cherished for future generations.
Maggie's collection is full of colors & gold with a strong black and white contrast. It is the perfect color palette for Fall and Winter but works for everyday layouts and projects. One of my favorite new items is the ephemera flowers. That product is full of flowers and leaves you can piece together and with gold and glitter they shine. One of my all time favortie Maggie Holmes products. I'm so grateful to have the chance to work with Maggie. She is a talented scrapbooker, photographer and crafter. We love having her in our Crate Paper family!
We hope you enjoy her new collection!

I'm absouletly in love with this collection! The details in this collection are what make it one of my favorites...the embsossing, glitter and foil add texture and depth to this collection and make it just beautiful. Also, did you see those layerd tags and the ribbon tags? They are must have for me! Open Book will be available in your local retail store mid Sept.
We would love to hear your favorite part of the collection. Leave a comment below and you could win a Open Book prize pack! The winner will be announced on Monday, August 25th. Good Luck!
Maggie is having a blog hop and she is also giving away Open Book on her blog. Go by and check it out. You won't want to miss all the fun.
We loved having you come by today to see our newest collection. Thanks for all the support you give to Crate. We love being part of your storytelling. We are also thankful to our talented CP gals and appreciate their beauftiful work.
I'll be back soon to share some love from our new Valentines collection. XOXO

This is truly stunning? Normally I don't really fall for feminine collections as I mostly scrap my guys but this is so gorgeous I need every little bit. The doilies, the brads, the lovely dies, every bit of gold and vellum... Love it all!
