Announcing A NEW Prima Contest!!!

........................................................................

Prima is excited to announce the "Paintables" contest!

         (Please look for our banner ad on "Two Peas In A Bucket".)

........................................................................

The Paintables paper collection is a brand new concept in scrapbooking. This watercolor-based paper has an array of gorgeous designs pre-printed and ready for your creativity to be unleashed! A variety of art mediums can be used on the paper to custom match your home decor or photos!
So, grab your art supplies and a Paintable and enter the Prima contest! All details are below!




..............................................................................................................................

Design Team member, Michelle Guray, painted this beautiful layout with watercolor paints. She started with Paintables #602284. After customizing her Paintable, she added her family photo and Prima embellishments that coordinate perfectly with the paper!

Rita Weiss (also on the Prima Design Team) chose this design to paint (#602277). The bold, bright colors are a perfect match for her fun photos! After adding some Prima embellishments she included a few button centers to pull out the circle theme. See how easy these are to customize?

All well and good to announce a contest with a product that's not even in the stores yet.. and have the deadline just weeks away? Who are you calling this contest for? Your own designers or others in the industry that have their hands on new product? Not fair.

[Sharon]

The Paintables are available in stores right now. Please see the Prima website for stores near you. The contest deadline has been extended so that you have extra time to find the product and complete your project without rushing.
