A Little Everyday Vintage........



 Hello everyone, it's been a minute since I blogged and I have so much to show and tell.

I have been creating silently and not really sharing much at all. I kinda went through an "non" sharing faze and I am finally able to come back and share a little of what I have been working on.

Today I am sharing an exciting new line from Prima Marketing called Everyday Vinatge. The pocket sized memories kits makes it so easy to journal and capture everyday moments.

This Vintage line was created by Iron Orchid Designs for Prima Marketing.  You can read all about Josie and Sally by following the link > HERE

I created this super easy page featuring my youngest son Diego. I do not think I have met a happier kid......ever! His smile just lights up my everyday. These pictures capture his adorable dimples, and the best part, his "signature" wave. He is always waving.....cracks me up every time! The person responsible for these amazing photos is my friend Tine Keyner, you can find her blog ----> HERE I loved all the embellishments I used.....Wood, Flair Buttons, Canvas Alphas, and much more. The best part of it was that it is being featured in Prima's catalog being released this Summer at CHA in Las Vegas.....so excited. 




Here are a few more close ups of the layout. This collection is called Love Letters.






This other page I worked on is from the Flora Kit collection featuring my husband Manuel and I. Gotta love this guy......he is my ROCK! I love that he is a huge supporter of my scrapbook hobby.

I cannot wait to show all the other collections that Prima is releasing this summer at CHA. All collections will be including pocket sized papers, how awesome is that!. My busy life is going to be easier to scrapbook and share.
 Now a little of what has been going on with me these past months.....I have been super busy working, and traveling, and learning as much as I can in the scrapbook industry.  I have found that the favorite part of my job is researching product developing ideas for one of my major accounts. I loved learning the whole process of turning an idea into an product that my buyer's purchase for their retail chain stores.It is an amazing feeling.

Last month I experienced for the first time going to China and Hong Kong with my boss Tami (Creative Director of Prima) to visit the International Marketing fairs. It was amazing to see the various vendors from around the world sharing their new products. We did a lot of networking, a  lot definitely tons of walking.
I think I this is the most walking I had ever did........but I thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way.

.
I will soon share more photos and details from my trip for a future blog post. So for now I will leave you with my favorite picture from Hong Kong. It was taken from our hotel room 28 floors up.

Come back soon,
