The Pier, from Crate Paper:
Frankly, they had me at the logo. I immediately thought of summer and birthdays and loved the color palette. Here's a look at the collection as a whole:
As I looked more deeply at the products in this line I was struck by the sheer genius of many of the patterns, which take trends and turn them on their head. For example, while hexagons have been popular for a while, I can't remember anyone else interpreting them as beach umbrellas:
Another paper from this line combines two popular trends that have been around for a while: doilies and clouds, leaving me to wonder why I have not yet before seen doily clouds:
One more fun paper from The Pier takes the chevron trend and turns it into a flock of birds:
The embellishment I love most from this line is the set of slide frames, which nest to create lots of fun combinations:
This line is clever, colorful, fun, and offers lots of possibilities.
What mid-season releases are you eagerly awaiting?
