Are You Ready For A New Sketch?

August is upon us and we are ready for it with our NEW BAP sketch done by the talented Jennifer Snyder! This is Jennifer's first ever sketch for us so please help us pat her on the back for her inspiring work. By bringing new sketch designers to you each month we hope to provide a larger variety of inspiring page layouts, some that may even encourage you to stretch YOUR creativity by going outside the box with new styles and techniques!

This month's sketch has gorgeous white space that is always pleasing, a strong center point filled with dramatic contrast, as well as swirls, butterflies, and leaves. (Our new metal dies would be a perfect fit for those!)

Won't you join us this month? Why not give it a try? All you have to do is create a layout, card, or anything else, based on this sketch. Please use Prima products and submit right here, using the link at the bottom of the post, by August 31st! Maybe you will be our LUCKY winner!

Our August Guest Designer, Mariusz, and a few of our talented design team members are joining in our BAP challenge with a touch of inspiration to help kick off YOURS!

Mariusz created the most beautiful layout honoring the famous Mona Lisa today! We just love how he used the sketch as a jumping off point, then added his own touches through embellies and techniques! What an amazing page filled with gorgeous elements!

If you'd like to see more of Mariusz's work please check out his blog, and look for his project with our next Special Delivery kit!! We have thoroughly enjoyed having him create for us this month!

Nine's gorgeous page is filled with light and airy touches to make sure the focus is on her beautiful daughter. Yet contrast has been built in through stamping techniques in the background. Mica Flakes have been sprinkled on top for a touch of dazzle. What a fun way to use Prima stamps and Art Ingredients to add a grungy-distressed effect!

We think Keren outdid herself with this gorgeous page! Her bold use of color is simply delightful on this layout featuring her sweet daughter.

"I was so inspired by Jennifer's sketch that I was really happy I could participate in the BAP challenge this month. I created a mixed-media background on which I built my layout using the new Epiphany collection. I'm just in love with this collection because I love butterflies and birds. So I fussy-cut lots of elements out of papers and combined them with some new Prima flowers. " ~Keren
