Meet Feature Designer....Magical Scraps Galore!

Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting. I’d like to tell you some facts about me so you can get to know me better:

My name is Marina and I'm the creative brain behind Magical Scraps Galore.

I live in Argentina with my wonderful husband Peter and our two amazing kids: Emilia (14) and Andrés (13).

I’m an animal lover! I currently I have two cats: Calla and Ron.

I’m addicted to my computer and my DSLR camera. I take my camera everywhere and I can’t seem to have enough pictures of my kids! Good excuse to keep on scrapping!

I love traveling. I love our family trips to Disney World every other year.

I’m a runner and I love to work out.

I love dark chocolate, red wine, and my daily dose of grunge music.

I am an English/Spanish translator and have been working with an American corporation for 22 years. I love designing because it takes me away from the corporate world and it helps me keep my creative juices flowing.

I first began traditional scrapbooking back in the 1990’s, until I discovered digital scrapbooking in 2004 and it became my passion. I started designing in 2011. My style is traditional and classic; I love designing theme park inspired kits. And I’m fascinated by colors (though I tend to always dress in black, go figure!). I find my inspiration everywhere: my kids, a photograph, a color swatch ... I have to admit that I spend too much time on Pinterest too!

I am loving this creative journey and I’m really honored to have the privilege of helping others preserve their special memories and document their life stories.
