April's BAP & PPP!

What a FABULOUS sketch by the talented Keren Tamir! Wispy branches with fluttering butterflies set the stage for loads of Prima fun. Just add your own artsy touches, photo, and journaling. Then enter in our BAP contest (see link below.) It's THAT easy and you could win a sweet Prima prize!

 

Before we show off our samples we'd LOVE to introduce our Guest Designer for April! Padni's work caught our eye last year! It is fresh and fun...filled with magical touches...and we cannot wait to show her sweet project off!

"Hi, my name is Padni Johan. I lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, with my hubby, YJ, and our sweet baby boy, Timothy. I love everything about stationery, paper, and crafts. I started to fall in love with scrapbooking in 2010. When I am making a layout it just completes me and makes my day brighter. It even relieves my stress! It's like a good atmosphere and a great adventure for me. In my free time I teach scrapbooking in my local area." ~Padni

"When I saw the sketch and the PPP palette, I felt so excited about the layout that I was gonna make for Prima. I torn some of the edges of the papers on the layout. Then I added some Prima Flowers and Type & Tab Stickers to cheer up the layout. Next I layered the photo with papers and ATC Cards to add more dimension." ~Padni

Thank you, Padni, for sharing your beautiful talent with us! Your work certainly put a smile on our face with it's bright cheeriness!  Here is a link to Padni's blog so you can see more of her gorgeous works! paperflavour.com

Don't you just LOVE the pops of yellow and purple on this fascinating page by Olga Vasilieva? Using the sketch a base she added a small flower cluster instead of drips and drops...creating a beautifully balanced layout. It really is way MORE than adorable!

If you LOVE blue you are going to fall head over heels for this sweet design by Louise Nelson! With just white and blue colors she created the most amazing piece. Look at the fabulous use of wire thread to direct your eye down the page and around the photo. Brilliant!

Color. Gorgeous color. It's everywhere and it makes us so happy! April's palette is refreshing mix of bold raspberry, soft blush, green grass, buttery yellow, blue turquoise, and a soft cream to ground everything. Don't those colors put a smile on your face? Well, our challenge is to pick a few of them and create a Prima-based project with them! You can use one, two, or all of them on your project! You have until the end of April to get your entry in so let's get rolling! Here is an amazing sample by Wendy to get those ideas bubbling up!

"When I see flowers, I see my mother.  When I think of Spring, I see my mother.  This color palette for April PPP blends the best of both loves - flowers and my mom."

 

 

"The April PPP full of blooms and spring colors inspired my two page pocket page spread titled “Rise Above”." 

 

 

"I definitely wanted to include my mother as the icon of beauty, serenity, and her colorful personality of love and strength. I kept my photos a neutral tone of black-and-white to emphasize the colors of the palette."

 

"The 2x2 squares in the Butterfly Collection paper, Vintage Collage, were the beautiful compliment of images along with flowers and butterflies to accent my theme for the two pages." ~Wendy Morris-Saponaro
