Meet Yara!


Hi! My name is Yara Freytes, and I am very excited to be a Design Team Member for The Paper Variety. I live in Puerto Rico with my husband and our two boys, Luis (6 years old) and Diego (4 years old). I have a BS in Chemical Engineering, but currently I am a happy Stay at Home Mom. I started scrapping on 2003, when I had been on bed rest from the pregnancy of my first child, and I had not been able to stop. I love it! Love to document my family stories and travels.

I love to do 12X12 scrapbook layouts from my two boys and our family travels, to the United States and Europe!! I am a morning person, most of my scrapping, I do when my kids are at school. This year, I started blogging and discovered many online scrapbook challenges, from which I love to participate!! The name of my blog is It is Summer Everyday, because I live in the tropical island of Puerto Rico, where you will not see snow, or heavy clothing. However, we celebrate, all the holidays as in the states.

I love pattern papers and using bright colors. I love to embellish my pages using stickers, chipboards, journaling die cuts, buttons, and some hand stitching. Sometimes, I like to distress my papers, and occasionally use COPICS and stamping. My hobbies other than scrapbooking, are walking/jogging, reading and spending time with my family. Most of my time is spent commuting back and forth between school and my kids extracurricular activities.

I am very happy to be joining, The Paper Variety Design Team, and I cannot wait to get started!
Here are a few of my favorite projects...
