We've been excitedly working behind the scenes with two exceptionally talented designers these last couple of weeks and are finally able to announce that they'll be joining us as part of our ongoing Crate Paper Design Team! We're highly inclined to think that maybe you're already familiar with these wonderful ladies, but we're still going to introduce them to you because you're going to be seeing a lot of their work here in the coming months. Instead of simply announcing their names within the confines of this paragraph though, we'll jump directly to their bios and sample works instead - simply scan down to find out all the latest details about them! Congratulations ladies! We're honored to have you as two of our newest CP Girls!
Lexi Bridges
Hello there! My name is Lexi Bridges and I am super honored to be officially designing for Crate Paper (after recently guest designing for them)! I live a blessed life as the wife of my high school sweetheart and as a stay at home momma to two very active boys, Paxton 2.5 and Aven *almost* 5, who enjoy making creative messes almost as much as me. My mom would tell you my love of scrapbooking began in elementary school with my Hello Kitty sticker book obsession. She would probably be right. I've been playing with paper the last 2-3 years, usually in the wee hours. I enjoy the entire process of creating and have met some beautiful friends along the way thanks to the scrapbooking world!

Kinsey Wilson
Hey everyone! I'm Kinsey Wilson, but most folks call me "Kins"...I'm a 30 year old stay at home wife to my favorite Air Force fella, Sam (aka. Sammo), and a mama to a cute (and from time to time, feisty) 8 year old girl, Brianna (aka. Beezy). When I'm not playing board games, watching movies, and having karaoke/dance parties with my little family, I'm usually making something scrapbooky. I love creating...whether it's crayons and coloring books with my little one, making cute decor stuff for our home or scrapbooking all of our craziness, I'm there.
I jumped head first into "primitive" scrapbooking when I was pregnant with Beezy and when I found out about stores devoted solely to scrapbooking supplies, well, I then moved on to "enlightened" scrapbooking and all bets were off. The passion for my favorite creative outlet grew into a more "full time" obsession when I took a retail purchasing position at my LSS (while stationed in England). I had so much fun learning the ropes and after attending my first CHA in 2007, I knew I was done for...never again would I bet content with tedious paralegal work. I immediately added teaching classes, designing project kits, and event planning to my scrapbooking resume.

Ok, so now that your familiar with the names, are you as excited as we are? We hope so because we have a special event planned for early next week and the whole Crate Paper design team, Lexi and Kinsey included, will be a part of it! We promise to disclose details in the very near future..stay tuned. :)
Congratulations ladies!
