July is a month filled with hot summer days, trips to the beach, sizzling barbecues, family vacations and lots of fireworks! This sketch is perfect to showcase some of those AMAZING photos that you snapped!
Sketch Artist, Anam, added lots of strips of paper in the background...a row of embellishments to draw your eye across the page...and a large title area that is perfectly situated on the page. There is also a WONDERFUL spot for journaling about the event!
If you would like to try out this sketch feel free to enter your project in our CONTEST GALLERY! Entries must be Prima-based and be received by July 25th will be eligible to win a paper prize package from Prima! See full details below.

We have some lovely layouts to show you based on this month's sketch! As always our Design Team put their own personal spin on their creations showing how very versatile this sketch is!
Anam Stubbington uses Prima's burlap fabric swatches in place of paper strips on the adorable layout! Adding strips of ribbon help balance the design, while adding lots of fun texture. Four pink Prima Dandies anchor that CUTE photo and provide a touch of femininity to the whole layout!
Christiane Muller uses lots of pretty polka-dots to add an element of fun to this gorgeous layout! Adding a collage of layered flowers really makes the beautiful photo stand out, while Prima's Angel Wings add a delightful angelic touch that really plays off the title well.
Amy Parker took a simpler route with the sketch...using stamps and ink to create the design on her background...and adding a few strips of patterned paper for contrast. Simply beautiful.
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer created this artistic interpretation of the Build-A-Page sketch! Using a variety of colored papers for the backdrop, Julie then added a cluster of customized flowers to bring lots of fun texture to the layout.
Iris Babao Uy created a soft and sweet layout about her precious baby! Using lots of stamping and soft elements, Iris lets the focus stay on her adorable photo. A felt Voila strip is perfect for adding some warmth to the layout, while Prima flowers add a necessary feminine touch!
Joei Lau used this month's sketch to create this floral-filled design! Joei switched the orientation of the elements to a vertical position to compliment the photos better. Adding layered flowers, Prima chipboard and Voila felt really add lots of gorgeous dimension to the page.
Janine Koczwara also created a gorgeously feminine design about her daughter. Janine punched butterfly shapes out and then used them as a mask with Glimmer Mist for a colorful and sparkly background effect. A stamped border brings definition to the layout, while a cluster of roses add color and beautify the whole design!
Sharon Laakkonen replaced the paper strips with luscious strips of Prima's lace on her layout! Adding flocked paper and a canvas tag really adds so much visual texture to this "Graduation" design. Hand-write your journaling right on the layout for a very personal touch.
