September's Challenges Are Here!

 

 

Is this for real? Is it honestly September already? In the states the weather is cooling off and kids are headed back to school. It's a month filled with changes that some people love and others dread. Hopefully our new PPP is one of those challenges you LOOK forward to each month!

 

We've changed up our format just a bit, presenting colors and products that, we hope, inspire your creativity even more. If you haven't touched your crafty supplies in awhile, why not dig them out and join us this month? We even have a few gorgeous samples to get things moving! (Photo creds: dishes, little girl, purple envelope, brush lettering sample) 

"I just love the gorgeous rich colours. And although I think they are a bit more suited for fall pictures, I choose to scrap a photo from our vacation in Greece this summer. The contrast between the summer photo and the fall colours turned out great." ~Camilla Ekman

"I am inspired by the vintage look! I think this collection of coordinated colors was just for me! I thought immediately using Vintage Collectibles (love this Ephemera pictures!), the Royal Menagerie Collection, and my Art Journal.  First I worked on my background with clear & white Gesso, inked all around my pages with Oil Pastels, a Chalk Edger in Dark Rust, and Copper Mica Powder. I glued my layering together and added a Prima paper doily. I played with Oil Pastels, stamps with different inks, and decorated with Midnight Blue Glass Glitter, flowers, and wood icons. At last I used my sewing machine to add some texture. :) Céline Regnier from France <3

"I loved this month’s unusual colors!  So rich, but also very modern...these colors work fantastically together!  I used an older photo of my kids {years ago when they were a lot younger} as my photo editing skills weren’t then what they are now & they were slightly yellow themselves! {artificial light} so they matched the palette perfectly!  Picking out all the right bits & pieces from so many of the older Prima collections was such fun – I used SIX collections in total showing how easy it is to mix them." ~by Helen Tilbury

We are back with another sketch by Riikka! And this one is simply wonderful with an artsy background that could be created with sprays, stamps, or paper...while the title and journaling section add a bit of formal formatting. Top it off with one or two photos and you have a sketch with beautiful balance and lots of interesting elements. We even have a few samples by our teams showing how they interpreted the sketch to work with their style and their photos!

 

"For this layout, I decided to flip the sketch to suit my style better and shifted the photo position slightly lower...so I can showcase the die-cut shapes that I layered with pretty patterned papers at the back of the cardstock." ~Jessy Christopher

"I loved this sketch, as it was so open to interpretation. I started with a background of mica powder and worked up adding paint runs (using the awesome paint run stamps), then started layering my embellishments. I placed a line of sequins in place of the title and then added the title in place of the journaling. All elements of the BAP are there, plus more to make it my own." ~Joanne Bain

"I love this challenge and Riikka created a nice sketch! I turned the sketch upside down to fit with my picture. I chose the Royal Menagerie Collection for my background, gluing together two A4 papers to make a 12x12 paper, then played with spray inks and stamps." ~ Céline From France <3

"My inspiration to see the BAP and PPP first thing that came to mind was the word Love and Together. While it is not a color palette that I normally use, I really liked to do it...always keeping my romantic style using lace, stones, and trims." ~ Educator Gaby Edel
