Thank you to everyone who submited their canvas tote bags for this contest! They were all so beautiful and inspiring! We plan to do this again in the near future so stay tuned for the announcement...

Our winner is....Amy Patterson!

Congrats Amy! E-mail cari@primamarketinginc.com to claim your prize!

 Thanks Amy for sharing your beautiful tote with us!

 

 

As the 2010 design team year draws to a close I want to thank each one of our talented Prima Flower Girls for a fabulous year together. This past year has been one of extreme talent, encouragment, and friendship amongst the gals on the team.

 

As a coordinator I could not have asked for anything else from this fabulous group of sweet gals! It's always amazing that a hobby like scrapbooking, or papercrafting, can pull people from all over the world together as instant friends!

 

As a special thank you to each one of the 2010 team I would love to show off one of my favorite projects from each talented designer.

Love you, girls! ~Sharon
