July's BAP is Ready!

 

Have you been enjoying our monthly challenges? We sure hope so because we are shaking things up a teensy bit with our BAP sketches! We're super excited to bring you new BAP designers each month introducing fabulous original sketches to base new layouts off of! The cherry on top: we even have a new color scheme for our BAP! We hope you love it as much as we do!

Kicking off July's BAP is this dynamic sketch by Kasia Krzymiñska created just for YOU! She adds patriotic stars, trendy inky areas, floral accents, and more. To enter our BAP sketch simply create a Prima-based project and link us to it by July 31st on the inlinkz button below. It's THAT simple! (See June's challenges for examples. In fact, if you hurry, you can still enter as they close today! You can find them right here!)

 

Need a little inspiration for July? Let's start July's challenge with our very first Guest Designer for 2014-2015!!! We're super excited to present this amazingly talented gal from France!

Hello Prima Fans, 

 

My name is Céline Régnier. I live in the heart of the Loire Valley. I am married to a wonderful man. We have 2 children, 1 cat, and 1 puppy.  I'm a secretary and I really enjoy my job!

 

I like photography, sewing, home decorating, and traveling. I've been scrapbooking for more than ten years creating mainly layouts, but also love mini-albums and art journals. My style is a mix between vintage, free, and feminine. I love Prima products and I use them on (almost) all my pages. This year, again, I'm so happy and honored to be chosen as a Guest Designer for Prima. ~Céline

 

 

 

Thank you, Kasia, for this sketch! It's so fun to play with. I chose a photo from Amsterdam to use on my page. A few weeks ago my husband and I went there for a romantic week-end and my first shot was of a bicycle. I decided to mainly use Princess collection and Script pad, as well as a lot of tiny pieces from Almanac (one of my favorite collections!)

 

 

Prima Products: 844417 Script Pad, 951153 Princess Collection, 844288 Almanac Collection, 990190 Cartographer Collection, 565787 Frost Frappe, 546212 Eminence Collection, 571375 Serenity, 573096 Paperclip, 892319 Door Signs, 960988 Finnabair clear stamp, 554740 resist canvas, 573881 Color Bloom-Pressed Petal, 572242 Stencil Floral Rose

Trina also stuck close to the original sketch and used soft colors for a sweet palette filled with femininity! Stencil use adds shabby-chic texture while a creative mimic of the "paint drips" on the original sketch is created with one of our brand-new stencils! (Sneak peek alert!!) Her photo takes center stage with a gorgeous Prima frame surrounding it! 

 

Prima Products: 814137 – Something Blue collection pack (alphabet), 813864 – Time Traveler Forever Roses, 813901 – Time Traveler The Traveler, 564742 – Stencil Circle Lattice 12x12, 572044 – Wire Dusty, 892098 – Shabby Chic Treasure resin frame, 573577 – Trim, 571603 – Audrey Flowers, 571436 – Layla Flowers, 529567 – Wildflowers pillar pack white, 573768 – Color Bloom Spray Storm Cloud, Chalk ink – Tin can, 961312 – Stencil stars (NEW) Other: texture paste, muslin.

 

This is such a fun sketch to play with! I've roughly stuck to the sketch, adding hot air balloons cut from a sheet of Cartographer paper (Montgolfiere). I just loved the bold paint sweeps, which inspired me to use Color Bloom sprays with some texture added from a stencil. ~Fran

Prima Products:  12x12 Cartographer - Montgolfiere - 990015, 12 x 12 Stationer's Desk - Side Note - 813802, 12x12 Coffee Break - Fill It To The Rim - 846732, Instascrap Frames - 971267, Color Bloom Spray Mist - Tea Stain - 573836, Color Bloom Spray Mist - Soft Teal - 573782, Color Bloom Spray Mist - Antique Gold - 573843, Vintage Vanity Clear Stamp - Triangles - 655350960834, 6x6 Stencil - Stone Wall 3 - 575953, Instascrap Transparencies - 971229, Canvas Alphabet Stickers - 569785, Canvas Alphabet Stickers - 569792, La Tiza Flowers - 571214

I was so inspired by the actual design of the sketch. I flipped it over to the side. The sketch inspired me to pull out stencils and texture paste to add some dimension to the background. I finished it off by adding some gorgeous Prima flowers. ~Camilla

Hi there, here is Amélie and this is my take for July's BAP. I tried to follow the sketch as closely as possible. As I used a dark background I didn’t ink it, but made only a few "ink stains" with gesso. I also played with layers under my picture, and added little embellishments and flowers around the photo. I hope you will enjoy it! ~Amélie
