Prima Designers Day - Juliana Montoya

Hey Everyone!!!! My name is Juliana Montoya and I am very exited to share with you a little bit about me.  First, I want to start by saying that being a designer for Prima is a dream come true.  I am so grateful and excited about this opportunity and like many of you I have been a fan of Prima since day one.  I started scrap booking about two years ago and I fell in love with it the very first day.  From a very young age I started playing with papers, flowers and paint.... I love painting too :) Many times during my school years, I got in trouble because I kept playing with my books and making little things out of the pages and added any stickers I could find.. I have always loved to work with my hands and let my imagination go.......and create.

I love to create anything from cards, tags, layouts, mini albums, mixed media to altered projects.  I was born and raised in Costa Rica and grew up surrounded by nature, warm beaches, animals and beautiful peaceful landscapes, therefore, I enjoy anything outdoors.  I love hiking, camping, swimming and playing with my two little fur balls (Kimbo & Kuki), my two babies kittens. I predominately like the soft shabby chic and vintage style, however, I do love to challenge myself by working with many other different colors and styles.

Besides my passion for scrap booking I also enjoy other hobbies such as reading, writing, photography, dancing, singing, traveling and of course antique shopping.  I love to visit a lot of different vintage/antique shops and finding very unique items.... many of them, I use for altering or to inspire me to create.

I love meeting and learning from other people and I really do look forward to sharing my work with you all so please stop by my Blog anytime... I would love to see you there.  I love to share my work through videos as well, so I invite you to follow me on my Youtube Channel 

Now let's take a look at a few things that I created for Prima.  I am loving all of the new collection from this summer release.  I love every collection but of course, I do have a few favorites. I will start with my all time favorite collection, Tea Thyme.

I created this Shabby Chic Configuration Box with a little twist.  Instead of using a box I used a frame that way it displays better on my wall.  I used many different embellishments and flowers from the collection.  I had so much fun putting this together and the Prima embellishments were a perfect fit :)

One of my other favorite paper lines is the Zephyr Collection.  The colors of this collection makes me think of the warm blue beaches that I grew up by.  Also reminds me of summer :) I used some of the new Prima flowers and embellishments from the collection. 

I went to the beach where this photo was taken and collected a few shells and pieces of wood :)
