disclaimer: i'm hoping it's ok to share these. i've seen some of these samples pop up over on the making memories blog … so i'm thinking it's ok. but if this disappears later … then that means i was wrong. lol!

so yesterday CHA started down in anaheim … where all the manufacturers debut their new products and collections. making memories has come out with lots of great stuff this time around. a new travel collection, a teen collection (that i must get!), a wedding collection, and tons of new design card for the slice. i got to work with the wedding collection and the travel collection for my assignments … creating sample pages and lots of projects. i know all of the designers put a lot of time and effort into these projects … and it's always nice when they finally debut and we can share what we've been working on all these months. i'm not good at keeping secrets … so this is always hard to do. today, i want to share a few of my projects using the travel collection, called "great escapes".

Cha_travel_layout_cabin 

Cha_travel_layout_are_we_there_yet 

Cha_travel_memory_box 

Cha_travel_memory_box2 

the sample layouts are 6×6 in size. and the altered box was made using the box from the older distressing kit. it's a good size … and can hold photos and momentums from a vacation.

check out wendy sue's blog for more great samples using this collection. and make sure and check out the making memories blog today … and for the next two days. they're doing lots of fun stuff and giveaways … and you can see more products and ideas.

    I love what you’ve done with the new line. Of course I’ve always been a big fan of MM but no one seems to “work it” quite like you.
    SIDENOTE: Thanks for the link to your camera info. After seeing the pic of your gear, I was planning on asking…but you beat me to it! LOL!

    The box and layouts are so cool. I like the happiness and color of this line. We are having snow and ice here with more coming tonight. School has been out for two days. I could use some sunshine color and this makes me smile.
    I hope you are doing well. Did you find more cool things from CHA? Here is link you might enjoy. http://mb.lifetimemoments.com/index.php?showforum=54&prune_day=100&sort_by=Z-A&sort_key=last_post&topicfilter=all&st=0
