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 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

Our last project, by Katie, features a coffee jar turned into a royal Victorian jar (or vase) with just a few simple products! Add gesso to jar, top with Chalkboard Paint, then add glitter and Color Bloom sprays for dazzling effects. A Relics & Artifacts heart adds the adorning touch!
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!
"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
