Who is ready for a brand-new sketch AND color palette? Well, jump on in this month and let us know if you want us to continue these, okay? Just leave a comment below or, better yet, add an entry!!
First up is this gorgeous, trendy sketch by Marie-Nicolas Alliot! Isn't this fun? You could do a traditional layout, a home decor canvas, card, or pocket page with this delightful grid!
We want to extend a personal invitation for you to join in on the BAP fun this month. All you have to do is create a Prima-based project and submit it right here on this post (scroll to the bottom for the link) by the last day of March! We will pick a lucky winner in early April to receive a Prima prize.
Need a little inspiration? Here are a few marvelous samples by our DT, Educators, and super talented Guest Designer! We were just amazed at the different results using the same sketch as the base. It just goes to show you how each person is so uniquely talented! We are so excited to introduce our March guest to you! Her stunning work caught our eye right away!
"My name is Paula Castells, I'm 31 years old, married, dentist, Brazilian, but currently living in Spain.
Manual work is part of my life. From my profession to my hobbies: apart from scrapping, I also love gardening, photography, and cooking. I started scrapbooking at the end of 2010 and, since then, I became totally addicted! In the following years I discovered mixed-media and I felt in love with it. In almost of my projects I use a lot of ink, masks, and texture. I create to express myself and my emotions, and I hope I can share a little bit of this here with you. You can reach me at ... http://paulacastells.wordpress.com/" ~Paula
What did we say? Paula just knocked this BAP out of the park with her gorgeous color palette, product usage, and special techniques! It's fun, and it's gorgeous, and it totally took our breath away!

March is all about St. Patrick's Day and the lucky color green! We pulled some of our favorite colors and products together to give you the luckiest PPP ever! Aren't these sweet?
Want to join in the Prima fun this month? Make ANY Prima-based project based on the palette or product picks and submit by the last day of March. We will choose one lucky winner in early April to get a special Prima prize. (See full details below.)
Of course our designers had a blast with this month's PPP! Use their creations as inspiration for your own, or go your own way. Either way we would LOVE to see what you create.
Paula focused on the brighter shades of yellow and green for this stunning layout! Just peek at her fabulous use of stamps, pebbles, and resist canvas! The water tap is seriously creative and just puts this project over the top! Thank you, Paula, for being our special guest this month. It has been TOTALLY our pleasure!
Keep them going!! These are great inspiration!! I PROMISE I will play this month :) Fantastic cards and projects!

Oh please keep this going. I just may be able to actually do a first time layout. I absolutely love anything PRIMA! These layouts are so lovely and so inspirational to me. Thank you for this and hopefully one of these months I will be able to enter a layout. :)

I have always love the Prima BAP and PPP and have played along vitually for every challenge! It has always been so nice and such an honour when one of my projects is featured... and I think that I can talk for many people in that regard! I also love seeing the inspiration for these challenges, and I am never disappointed, as the projects are just amazing! The GD's are always so super too! Please keep this feature going as I think it would be quite sad if they had to disappear!

I ADORE Prima challenges and have been participating as much as possible for a few years now. Really makes my day when my project is featured on your blog. I flip between the BAP and PPP - can't pick a favourite (love them both!).

Hi I only found your challenges recently and I was going to try a LO last month but got a bit intimidated by the other fab entries. Silly I know. Must try harder this month and the colours on the PPP are fantastic so maybe I should look there first. Hope you do continue these challenges. It's such a lovely way for us to see your products and interesting ways to use them. Very inspiring
