Hello Roadies, it's Emily writing from CHA in Anaheim. I've been working in the Maya Road booth this week, enjoying meeting people from all over the world. It's been so much fun talking to people who love Maya Road as much as I do! I took orders today for a few people who've just discovered us, that was fun to share all my favorite products with them!
Speaking of my favorite products, I wanted to share a layout I've done for the show that features a few of my favorites, new and old. Here's the full layout, a whole bunch of flowers and a cute little photo of baby me. I have been crushing on the 1970s color palettes lately, so I decided to put them all together in a layout for the booth. I love how it turned out!
The Burlap Trim has been really hot this show, and I know why! So much fun texture, lots you can do with it. I used it a couple of different places on my layout, once as a straight trim and another place twisted into a rose. We have Burlap Roses, but I didn't have them so I made my own. Totally easy! Another favorite on this page is the mist. I have fallen in love with Fig Magenta lately, so I used it to mist the Vintage Paper Roses. See the Vintage Pearl Pin in Dark Brown poking out the top of my burlap flower? That's new too and I've taken quite a few orders for them as well!
This detail shot shows you a couple more of my favorite things. The Kraft Trinket Flag Pins have been super popular! They come in two designs and I see myself using them often. You can stamp on them, mist them, or leave them plain, such a fun little accessory to tuck onto a layout. I also misted the Vintage Lace Mums in Silver Fox with Mustard Yellow Metallic Maya Mist, the resulting flower hasbeen a big hit among our booth visitors. I love how rich the color is.
I used lots of other products, but those were my favorites. And now I'm off to bed, one more day of CHA, I need to be rested!
I love the new trims and the felted items. They will make great embellishments.

I'm a little confused. Left a comment on Main blog but the date of it was Jan.26th. Oh well--love your product and the birth frame is sooooo cute. You are a young crafter compared to me!!! 1971 was a very good year and I love the colors.
