*Manufacturers challenge*
Easy peasy challenge, just make something using products from one manufacturer. For the month of April, our manufacturer is going to be…
Crate Paper!
Feel free to mix in other supplies, but the majority of your project must be Crate Paper products.

Ok, my design team blog post went live this morning and I used Maggie Holmes, Flourish line! So you can see that here if you wish to look. I just finished off this LO today, I was struggling to make it work on the big peacock paper in the Flourish line but it wouldn't work at all. So I took the photo and all those tags underneath it, off, and chucked them on white cardstock. Then I was much happier. So I fiddled with it some more today and finished it off. I couldn't really use it for my blog post cause most of the products aren't available in the shop anymore. So this is my first April project for my team!!!  |

oh no! I don't think I have anything from Crate Paper I am not sure I have any, either. Spent some time this morning googling CP to see if I would recognize it if I saw it in my stash. Going dumpster--I mean stash--diving now. kiwigirl , your pages are gorgeous. Love seeing your work again. |

I have the Cute Girl 6x6 pad, and I'm scrapping a Universal Studios trip. I have a photo of DH and DD with a big yellow taxi, and the collection has yellow and houses. I'm good to go.  kiwigirl , I spent some quality time looking through your blog last month because I was so impressed with your February layouts. I feel like I've learned so much from you, most importantly to embrace pattern and repetition and not to be afraid of using black. I hope it reflects in my scrapping this month. Thank you so much for sharing your pages with us! ETA: Here's my first layout for the month.  |

stinkerbelle, I always love your pages - they're so full of personality - your photos, your journaling, and you always manage to get so much cool stuff onto your pages that my eyes are all over the place trying to drink it all in. I really enjoy seeing what you make!

msliz, you're too kind! I do love to use a black background instead of white for a change. Back in the day I always used patterned paper backgrounds and then I suddenly switched to doing everything on white. And literally every page was on white. So I had to start doing something different to change things up. Some collections really pop on black as well! Love that LO msliz, the border is fabulous and I love the grid of papers too, very cool! stinkerbelle I love your style, it's so you! Gorgeous LO, I love those letters you've used for 'lovely', they're a bit lush!

mom I don't think I've seen your pages before but you have a beautiful, classic style. I love, love the crate paper page with the circular photo - so simple but so stunning.

My LSS had a few sheets of Maggie Holmes "Bloom". They followed me home. Will have to figure out what I can do with them...

Here's my page:  Choose happiness 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Put it on a Recollections black cs background, but all the papers are Maggie Holmes Bloom. You can even see a tiny piece of the trademark crate paper on the polka dot piece. |

Thank you! I don't share often because of my style being so simple. Stacy Julian made a career out of simple scrapping. I hope you post everything you do. My layouts are not artsy and many are fairly simple but there is still a big place for us more classic scrappers. PS: I have nothing from Crate Paper. |

I dug through my stash and found everything on this page. I even googled to see if the one chipboard camera was actually Crate Paper. Thanks for the challenge. The background is a soft pink that didn't photograph that well. This is based on a sketch we were given for a challenge at a crop I was at.  Loving This by Jacqueline Bruce, on Flickr |
