It's challenge time here on our blog. Both of our contests are VERY popular thanks to YOU! If you have never particpated before we welcome you to try one of them, or both! The rules are pretty simple-create a Prima-based project and submit it by the end of the month to the address below. We pick one winner for each challenge, and then feature about 20 of the other entries for each challenge mid-month.
So what do you think? Are you ready to jump in?

MAY BAP

Woohoo! We know we are a teensy bit late posting the winners for our March challenges! Life has been crazy busy with the Design Team Call and everything else going on at Prima.
And you do not make our job any easier! We saw so many GORGEOUS entries that we LOVED getting them, but then realized how hard the job was going to be to narrow them all down. So, just so you know, we LOVE each and every entry that was submitted!
A very special THANK YOU to each of our first timers! We LOVE having you join in and we hope to see you again next month!
March BAP:
Marie-Nicolas created our sketch for us in March. She filled it with so many wonderful design elements! And, if you loved stamping, this was a fabulous sketch to try.
So let's see who rose to the top of all of those entries!

Our Build-A-Page is always a very popular challenge!
We take turns with the sketch artists to provide a wonderful variety for all styles and technique levels for you. This month the talented Lene created our sketch!
She has included coloring, stamping, dripping, and other fun little touches. You can choose to incorporate all of them or not...you can also use it as a jumping off point to do you own thing. We just want you to be inspired enough to dig into your Prima stash!
We would love to have you play along. Just send a Prima-based project to us by the end of April 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 April 30th for a chance to win a Prima Prize! Please put "April BAP" in your subject line. GOOD LUCK! Open to all countries.

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!
.........................................................................................................................
by Designer Heidi Kelley
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!
....................................................................................................................................
by Designer Louise Nelson
Louise rocks the white space on her fabulous layout based on this month's sketch. Instead of stamping Louise added texture with stencils and art mediums, topping them off with new metal Mechanicals!
...................................................................................................
by Designer Maiko Kosugi
Maiko filled her page with lots of fun elements for this month's BAP! A stenciled design fills in for the original stamped area, while one large photo takes the place of two.
Maiko also added a beautiful banner, loads of flowers, a newsprint heart frame; and the cutest Lyric musical note pin!
Prima Products:
.........................................................................................................................................
by Educator Trina McClune
Trina stamped and topped it off with a stencil design to add visual interest to her gorgeous backdrop! A whole garden of white flowers make the page so pure and innocent.
Take note of the flowers peeking out of the layers!

by Nathalie Kalbach
Nathalie went bold and beautiful on her BAP layout! Using gorgeous colors along with stencils and stamps, Nathalie then finished off the page with altered flowers!
Our new canvas resist alphas are PERFECT for any project. Just color for a perfect coordinating accent.
Prima Supplies:
Other Supplies:
Ranger Dylusions Ink Sprays, Ranger Distress Paints, Ranger Archival Ink, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L- 3DFoampads, MyStik Permanent, Liquitex Gel Medium and Gesso
......................................................................................................................................
And of course our March PPP is filled with loads of LUCKY green products!
Green is a sign of newness...of freshness and regrowth. It is perfect to celebrate the beginning of spring when the new grass pushes through and birds start to chirp. Hopefully our palette will inspire you to join in our challenge this month and create a cool project!
Love the palette? Want to join in? You can send Prima-based projects, (please mark March PPP in your subject line), by March 31st, to: sharon@primamarketinginc.com Open to all countries!
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!
Prima Products:
........................................................................................................................
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 Stacey Young
Look at this gorgeous mix of techniques on Stacey's layout! From stenciling to stamping, layering to distressing Stacey always creates a masterpiece for us!
Our new woodgrain stencil will add perfect texture and interest to so many project types!
Prima Products:
......................................................................................................................................
by Designer Louise Nelson
Louise's designs are always minimalist but never, ever boring. Just peek at her amazing touches added to each and every page!
Louise made this layout look so very real with her selection of Prima flowers and accents! What great inspiration for field trip, hiking or other adventure photos.
................................................................................................................
by Designer Brit Sviggum
Brit used the palette to create a wonderful canvas! We want our BAP and PPP to boost your creativity, but adjust them to work for you! Brit's beautiful piece showcases our flowers, resins, crystals and stamps!
.............................................................................................................................
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.
So, what do you think? Want to join in on one of our challenges this month? You have until the end of March to submit ANY Prima-based project! We would love to see your work!
