Are you ready for a brand-new sketch to use as inspiration this month? Keren went all out with so many sweet elements on this month's Build-A-Page sketch! Fall leaves, fluttering butterflies, artsy splashes, watercolor effects, fancy flourishes, and so much more, really open this design up to so many different styles!
Why not make a Prima project based on THIS sketch and enter it below! We always pick a fabulous winner (who receives a fabulous prize), plus showcase a handful of other amazing projects from the entries! C'mon and jump in the BAP challenge! To kick-start your inspiration we have a few samples created by our talented teams, and an amazing guest designer, with projects just for YOU!
“Hello Everyone! My name is Helen Tilbury & I live in Durban, South Africa, together with my husband, 4 kids & 3 cats. When I’m not working I love to get creative with inks, mediums, & paper - creating layouts, canvases, art-journal pages, tags, cards, mini-albums, & Off-the-Page projects! As long as there is some PRIMA on everything I make I am one happy girl!!" ~Helen

"My girl has just learned to ride a bike, I’s so proud of her. I would like to build a page quickly and use a sketch is ever a good idea." ~Nine
I love mixing "old" and "new" products..such as the gorgeous Princess collection combined with new flowers, Color Blooms, and Shabby Chic Resins. I rotated the BAP sketch a bit to suit my photo. ~Kelly

Here's another beauty by our guest using the PPP rich tones above! Helen's layouts are always filled to the brim with sweet techniques, but never go overboard! Thank you, Helen, for being our November Guest Designer! You are truly a wonderful artist and we love having you share your talent, and time, with us!

Tags are good project to test new products or techniques. And when you have a "wow!" subject, as this month PPP, you can make all that your creative mind desires. Here I made two fall tags working with brown shades, with some details using gold and copper. Metallic colors are always great add-ons for any kind of color palette. To add more interest in this piece of joy I added lots of little details using say it in crystals, wood embellishments, and, of course, (to make it more artsy) a few art mediums? Finnabair's Art Basic's lines will take your artsy soul to another new level! Try it! ~Rommel

I love the new chalkboard paints. They can help transform an old, tired piece into a fresh, conversational treasure. I re-purposed a wall hanging by painting the pumpkin with chalkboard paints, topping with Art Extravagance Texture Paste in Clear Crackle , and adding canvas. Fun products with fun results. ~Jennifer
