― Claude Monet
Even Monet needed flowers all around him! We feel the same way here at Prima. Flowers, beautiful flowers, can lift the spirit, put a smile on our face, remind us of the good things in life, and make everything better. And you know our flowers last forever...so add a few to your home decor, layouts, cards, and tags, so that you always have a few flowers around to remind you of the beautiful things about life.
Our designers created a few "floral-themed" projects just for you today! We hope they inspire you to add a few flowers to your next project!

Mother Layout
by Designer Brit Sviggum
Lene is documenting her Mother's Day photos to get the memories down quickly! Her whimsical style is so beautiful. Here's how she does it!
"I changed this picture of my mother sitting on a bench into black & white. Then I painted the bench in gold paint and used a crackle stamp and black ink, to add some more “life” to it."

Floral Home Decor
by Designer Leslie Ashe
"I’ve recently redecorated a few rooms in my house in this color scheme and wanted just a couple of more things to add to it."
"I KNEW a box of flowers hanging on the wall would be perfect!"
"I also decided to paint a paper mache letter “A” with chalkboard paint and add some grungy paint and flowers to the center for my mantel. I LOVE how this turned out!"

One Page Mini-Album
By Educator Trina McClune
The creative Trina made this whole album from just one page of Lyric patterned paper! How amazing is that?
Since she made it for her blog winner for NSD she left the title and journaling off of the album.
The lucky recipient will be able to add their own photos and title as soon as they receive it!
What a wonderful gift to have on hand for that special someone!

Wishful Thinking Altered Journal
By Educator Sharon Laakkonen
Sharon wanted to decorate her Wishful Thinking journal box just to make it pretty! She painted the box and added art mediums on top with a stencil.
Once it was dry she wrapped it in gorgeous new Prima trim and decorated with flowers, leaves and a fluttering little butterfly.
Now she can slip her journal in and out of it's pretty packaging; and smile every time she sees the beautiful project! Wouldn't this be perfect for a bridal gift?
