Urnaments Introduces ‘Christmas in July’ with their Holiday Edition Urn Ornament


Glen Rock, New Jersey (PRWEB) July 24, 2012

Urnaments LLC has created a special keepsake urn called Christmas Memories for patrons who want to commemorate the memory of their loved ones and pets during the holidays.

“Christmas Memories was actually our very first design,” says Michael Martino, Founder & President of Urnaments LLC. “We had reservations about introducing it separately when Urnaments and Pet Urnaments first launched in May. Our PR people said that it might be assumed as our signature product and misrepresent our brand in a way other than what we intended.”

There is a logic to this. All Urnaments and Pet Urnaments look like traditional holiday ornaments and are specially designed so they can be adorned on a Christmas Tree. If the First Edition Collection of seven very distinct designs were represented by Christmas Memories, the assumption might that the product was solely a “seasonal” one.

This is why Urnaments’ graphic artists at Miles Technologies were instructed to make no more than one design with a holiday theme.

“On our website and brochure we go to great pains to showcase pictures of Urnaments and Pet Urnaments in settings all around the home, or office for that matter,” continued Mr. Martino. “Still, we have a distinct demographic who also love them for the holidays. Our “Christmas In July” campaign is our way of searching out more people who fall within that sales margin.”

Urnaments LLC was founded by Michael C. Martino in 2010. All engineering / prototyping / designing of the Urnament was completed in November, 2011. Urnaments were designed for the growing market of people seeking to commemorate their departed loved ones and pets in a more heart warming and expressive way. By matching their decorative appeal with an eyelet at the top, Urnaments can displayed on a Christmas tree or anywhere else in the home







GK Elite Sportswear Introduces Special Edition Gymnastics Legends Leotards


Reading, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

As the excitement builds for the Summer Games in London, GK Elite Sportswear, L.P., the worlds leading supplier of gymnastics apparel, chose five iconic gymnasts to tell their story through a personally designed GK gymnastics workout leotard which will be featured as part of its Gymnastic Legends Special Edition Catalog. Continuing its charitable tradition, GK will donate 10% of sales of each leotard sold to the Collegiate Development Fund within the National Gymnastics Foundation. Made in the USA, the leotards are available for sale now through August 15, 2012 at http://www.gkelite.com.

Gracing the pages of this Special Edition Catalog are GK gymnastics leotards designed by Champions for Champions. The most well-known names in Womens Gymnastics history share the inspiration behind their leotard design in their own words. All five Legends have worn and endorsed GK leotards, and some of them even sell GK gymnastics apparel in their own gyms.

Svetlana Boguinskaia – Svetlana burst on to the gymnastics scene at an early age and remained there, as a champion, for an unprecedented three Olympic games.

When Svetlana Boguinskaia competed as a gymnast, she preferred leotards with a dark color on the bottom and a light color on top to create stand-out contrast. Being a study in contrasts herself on the competition floor, the combination suited Svetlana well. Svetlanas gymnastics were a contrast of graceful artistry and intense drama. That same grace and drama served as inspiration for her 2012 GK Legends Collection Leotard. Her design inspiration comes to life with Black Mystique throughout the body and Charcoal Mystique and Berry Mystique near the neckline in a rolling flame design on the front and back. Svetlana said the berry, silver and black combination looks great together and makes a perfect leotard for gymnasts of all ages.

Kim Zmeskal – Kim was the first-ever American woman to become All-Around World Champion in 1991 and is still winning today.

Kims inspiration for the design of her 2012 GK Legends Collection Leotard came from the logo design of the 1991 World Championships. Kim said, During that competition, I experienced the highest of highs with an amazing American audience cheering me and my teammates on all the way! Winning the All-Around title and toppling the Romanians for a Team Silver are tremendous memories that have not faded one bit! The color blue, besides being a favorite of mine, is synonymous with being the best, which is a constant, driving force in my life.”

Shannon Miller – Shannon, the most decorated gymnast in US Olympic history, is a gymnastic legend both individually and as a member of the US Womens Gymnastics Team, fondly referred to as the Magnificent Seven.

Its no surprise that when asked about the design inspiration for her 2012 Legends Collection Leotard for GK, Shannon chose a modern take on the 1996 Olympic team leotard. US Olympic athletes are an inspiration when they wear the red, white and blue and represent their country with grace under pressure, in heartbreak, and in success. Shannons Legends Inspired Workout Leotard is the epitome of patriotism. Her design is rich with Navy, Red, and Silver Mystique echoing Old Glory. The Stars & Stripes motif is perfected with clear rhinestone star transfers over the right side of the front bodice and right shoulder.

Amanda Bordon – Amanda was Team Captain of the 1996 Magnificent Seven, the first U.S. Womens Gymnastics Team to win Gold in all of Olympic history.

When asked about her gymnastics career, Amanda Borden seems to have developed a theme upon answering its all about the team! Amandas inspiration for her 2012 GK Legends Collection Leotard stays true to her team theme and the source of her 1996 Olympic fame her Magnificent Seven teammates. Amanda described the experience as, the biggest moment of my gymnastics career and one of the biggest moments in womens gymnastics history. Amanda honors each of her team members with her GK design saying, There are 7 stripes to represent the 7 members on the team. Always having favored red, white and blue, Amandas Legends Inspired Workout Leotard is a shimmering and brilliant combination of Silver Mystique and White Nylon/Spandex. The stunning red Sequinz stripes are artfully laid out across the front of the leo paired with brilliant blue and silver Sequinz stars.

Carly Patterson – Carly competed in the Athens Olympics in 2004 and became only the second American woman to capture Olympic Gold for the Individual All-Around. Carly hit that pinnacle after a fast and furious gymnastics career with an impressive medal count at a young age.

Carly Patterson found inspiration for her 2012 GK Legends Collection Leotard in revisiting the culmination of her gymnastics career the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Carly won the Individual All-Around Gold medal, making her only the second American woman to do so, 20 years after Mary Lou Retton first did in 1984. According to Carly, The Olympic rings wrapping around the leotard are an awesome representation of what I achieved in my gymnastics career. The foundation for Carlys take on the rings is Silver Mystique and each ring is created with Ocean, Black, Red, Yellow and Kelly Green Mystiques.
