It's that time of year again! With CHA just a few short days away, and another reveal in the works, the excitement surrounding next season's collections is in full swing!! Truthfully, I've yet to investigate much of it, minus Crate Paper's gorgeous collections - have you been to the Crate blog this week? Crate Paper's founder, Lisa Parkin, has choreographed an eye-catching display of Crate's brand new collections; DIY Shop, Party Day & Maggie Holmes. All three are expected to present at CHA this weekend in Anaheim, California. Make visiting Crate's booth a priority if at the show!! Tell'em Chris sent ya ;)
**If you're one of the lucky folks walking the showroom floor, grab a photo of Crate's booth (maybe even a few). Forward them to cpblog@cratepaper.com. I'll throw your name in a drawing for a collection pack of your choice {Maggie, DIY & Party Day}. Favorites will post at the Crate Blog next week!

One of the major privileges provided to me as a long time designer/coordinator for Crate Paper is the opportunity to create booth projects with the new collections just prior to CHA. It's a perk I greatly appreciate and one that gives me an immense amount of satisfaction. Today, I mailed three layouts {shown above} to the event. I spent nearly a week-in-a-half in my scrapbook studio {mostly evenings & some afternoons), tucked away amongst the quiet, creating happily without interruption. I only wish more of my weeks entailed such a high level of crafty investment. See the layouts at Crate's booth, and also, other ongoing scrapbook events throughout the year via American Crafts.
Have a lovely afternoon my friends! Feel free to pin anything you might like here, though do credit the image accordingly. I've more projects to share with you early next week thanks to Gossamer Blue! It's been a very busy month!! :) Bye, Bye!
