It's that time of the month when we showcase our NEW Build-A-Page sketch and Prima Product Pick/Palette!
March's BAP:
Our amazing sketch this month is by designer Marie-Nicolas Alliot! Just look at the lovely accents she added for LOTS of fun! You can stamp, add artsy splashes, do a little stencil work, paper-cutting or whatever you interpret each element to be on your page!
We would love to have you play along. Just send a Prima-based project to us by the end of March and you could win a prize and/or be featured on our blog!
Send your Prima-based project (based on this BAP) to sharon@primamarketinginc.com by March 31st for a chance to win a Prima Prize! Please put "March BAP" in your subject line. GOOD LUCK! Open to all countries.
How about a little more inspiration? Our designers and educators have a few samples based on this sketch for YOU!

Heidi shows off our brand new line, Fairy Rhymes, on this gorgeous project! Look at how well Heidi used the sketch to fit her photo and theme. Bonus: We love how she used alphas as a sub for the stamped area!
Heidi is so trendy with her designs! Try cutting a photo out and framing it with flowers or paper cut-outs on your next layout!

How about a few samples by these talented gals?
by Designer Anna-Maria Wolniak
Anna-Maria used the sketch as her base, but added beautiful greens from our color palette this month! Stamping (with washi tape stamps), stenciling (with DD art stencil), splashes, and more, add to the fun, fresh feel Anna-Maria always portrays with her designs.
Once again we see resist canvas colored to perfection with chalk inks by Anna-Maria!

by Designer Juliana Montoya
Juliana took our colors and did an off-the-page project this month! She created a gorgeous frame-just look at the sweet details Juliana adds to all of her projects!
"The color palette this month is one of my favorites and it inspired me to create this Shabby Chic Mixed Media Canvas. I used soft greens and turquoise colors, with little bit of ivory. I tried to make it into a frame to hold a picture of my little pet inside. I hope you enjoy it." ~Juliana

by Designer Steph Devlin
Steph fully embraced the green on our palette this month, while adding white to balance everything and present a FRESH, gorgeous look! We especially love how Steph painted the Mechanical clocks white to work better with her choices.
How to: Clustering flowers will make the most beautiful focal point on your page. Choose 2 or 3 sizes and colors for best results. Start with the large flowers first...then add medium, then small flowers to fill in holes. Tuck in a few leaves to finish the bouquet off.
