We are sharing the very last set of projects from the Crate Paper booth. The show turned out to be a spectacular one and we are tremendously grateful to those who stopped by to visit with us! This final batch of prettiness comes to you from our brand new CP Gal, Maria Lacuesta!

If there's anything I love as much as beautiful typography, it's gold foil. The Craft Market collection definitely satisfies my craving for both. I usually go for a more neutral background and this beautiful foil paper fits the bill, despite the bold all-over pattern.
To create a visual triangle, I clustered various die cuts and anchored them with some gesso. I also created cohesion between my photo and embellishments by repeating the pinkish red of the light leak in my image to the pops of pink in the florals and ink splatters.
I'm a sucker for a good map paper and this beauty in the Craft Market collection is no exception. I really wanted to play up this adorable pattern with my title work. The grid arrangement of the map patterned paper is also echoed in the background of my photo (gallery wall). To finish everything off, I added some ink splatters that work to anchor the photo.
The Kiss Kiss collection is not new to me, but I'm still finding more and more ways to use it. I'm definitely going to be crafting some great Valentine's Day projects with this line, but I also think it's incredibly versatile and I've been using it for other layouts as well, like this page about a DIY haircut I gave myself recently. I love hand cut letters and used the technique to highlight my title work.
I had so much fun making this layout with the Kiss Kiss collection! I wanted to create a grid-fashioned layout, so I decided to print a dotted cross-hatch grid directly onto my background paper using Photoshop. I also took advantage of Photoshop to create the page's title and finished it off with the super cute Kiss Kiss Thickers.
Your layouts are gorgeous! Love your style.
