December's BAP & PPP Are Here!

Can you believe it's DECEMBER already? The year has simply flown by! To celebrate the year's end we have a full schedule today with our December challenges and the most amazing Guest Designer!

Bold. Sparkly. Classic. December's palette is a beautiful mix of all things glimmery, but with a neutral base to provide fabulous versatility. What a gorgeous palette to play with. Please share your Prima-based projects with us by the end of December and you could win a fabulous prize! See details on the "inlinkz" button below. (Photo credits: Gold Ornaments, Pears)

Our samples are started with our lovely guest! We hope you will warmly welcome Evgenia Petzer!

My name is Evgenia Petzer. I am 30 years old and live now in Moscow, Russia, with my two sons. I am totally addicted to different forms of scrapbooking - for almost seven years already. Whatever I make, it will always be dimensional, be very detailed, and will use Prima Marketing products! My style is very feminine and that's another reason for being in love with Prima products. ~Thank you so much, Evgenia.

Evgenia kicks off our PPP projects with this simply elegant card! "I wanted to create a 3D card with the shabby-festive look. So I "built" a shelf over the resin one and arranged all the decorations on it. The new glitter sets from Prima are just perfect for this...this extra sparkle is a nice finish touch for any celebration and, with the holiday season approaching fast, that is what we need! My card uses neutral tones that are in this month's PPP and those little touches of gold just made it so warm." ~Evgenia

"I absolutely LOVE gold, so I was all about this month's fabulous PPP! I was inspired by the color palette and all the glittery glitzy elemetns, and set about creating this trio of gift pockets with tags that are suitable for just about any occasion." ~Erin Blegen

"I loved the sketch proposed for this challenge- it's beautiful! I wanted to emphasize the sketch color, because I found it to be a beautiful combination! In this photo, my nephew visited Santa Claus at the mall, and he really believes he will win his gift of hands from the good old man! I loved working with Color Bloom sprays for added color, and the art ingredients for sparkles. They're a perfect combination! " ~Luciana Warnowski

My younger child inspired me for creating this layout. I'm a lucky mom because my kids let me take their photos! They sometimes even ask me to do that! One day Deniska and I were going home and there was so much snow around that I coudn't stop taking photos. This is the layout inspired by those photos. ~Elena Olinevich
