Come Join IN!!!!

It's that time of the month when we bring you a creative challenge. Or two! This month's PPP is ALL about a fresh, fun springtime palette! We can't wait for you to see it! And our sketch, with sweet signs of springtime, is by one of our very talented designers, Jennifer! It's going to be a FABULOUS month and we cannot wait to see what you create with us!

Isn't this refreshing? If you are in the throes of winter...or just ending those summertime months this palette is sure to be a winner! With cool greens and a twist of aqua, there's something for everyone. A splash of soft bisque tempers the shades to create a harmonious palette! Did you take a peek at the products too? Fresh Prima flowers and Valentina glitter picks set the stage for lots of exciting projects!

Need a little inspiration? Here are a few samples to get your mojo going! First up is our Guest Designer for March! We are super excited to introduce her to you. She's sweet and SO very talented! Come meet:

Hi, my dear friends! My name is Irina. I live in Moscow, the capitol of Russia. I'm married for almost 7 years and have 2 incredible kids who are my greatest inspiration in life! I'm 31 and for the last 5 years scrapbooking seems to be the hobby of my life. )))

Most of my projects are created at the junction of shabby-chic and mixed-media styles. I like to combine different textures and materials in my projects, to use different techniques. Paints, colors, and flowers are my passion! It's amazing how different shades of one color can completely change the mood of the project! And almost none of my projects are complete without a flourish volume composition. My blog is right here: http://irinagerschuk.blogspot.ru

"When I saw the fresh, juicy March PPP I've immediately decided to create a flourish card. I used different flowers, a die-cut doily, resin, and flourish vine to create my composition. Different Prima trims add more softness. And, at last moment, I decided to use rhinestones and SIIC to add sparkle to the project." ~Irina

"This palette combines all my favorite colors. I created mixed-media projects with Color Blooms, White Gesso, and a new stencil especially for weddings, my friends. I used a lot of flowers and few resins. The design was complimented with embellishments from the newest line- Memory Hardware. I hope you like my inspiration!" ~Mariusz :-)

Our fabulous sketch this month is compliments of Jennifer Snyder! With a wonderful background all set for those who like a touch of distressing, the whole layout comes together beautifully...all centered around two small photos. (If you Instagram these are the perfect size!) Add stamping, splatters, and everything else YOU love to add to your layouts and submit a project by the end of March! We'd love to show off your creations! Here are a few samples to show you just how versatile this month's BAP sketch is!

"For the March BAP I created layout on canvas (30x30 cm.) On the photo are my two little kids playing together. I used different Prima flowers, resins, metals, and wooden embellishments, sprays, SIIC, trim, die-cut doilies, glitter, badges, and other decorative embellishments to create it." ~Irina

(THANK YOU, Irina, for sharing your creativity with us this month! Your work is just stunning and we are blessed that you shared your time and talent with us! )

"I loved Jennifer's sketch and so I thought to design a beach-themed layout using some of the elements from the sketch. I used the bottom part of the sketch to mimic the sand at the beach and the background paper was the water. Most of the products on this layout are from the Seashore collection and they fit perfect with my picture." ~Keren

"This layout started out with a major vintage look..with the sepia photo and the subtle browns and purples. It looked good but I always love to add a dash of color to brighten things up. A few aqua-colored Prima flowers, a spray or two of Color Blooms, and a bit of blending with chalk inks did the trick!" ~Kelly

Jennifer switched her very own BAP sketch up to create a card instead of a layout! Genius and so cool!! "I am having a great time using the new Prima watercolor pencils. I love the variations in color that can be achieved - from soft to robust, all with the same product." ~Jennifer
