NEW BAP & PPP!

November has arrived in all its glory! While half of the world is bundling up to face crisp, cool mornings and gorgeous bursts of fall color, the other half is warming up to sunshine-filled mornings and signs of spring! Well, this month we decided to create a palette to fit the whole world. You'll find a comforting warm brown and golden yellow, along with pops of cool aqua, bright coral, and romantic pink! Mix them together to create a beautiful project with our new Creating Faith line (shipping now) or any mix of the colors. Then enter our PPP contest with a chance to win a lovely prize! Details below! (Photo credits: flowers in a vase, fall leaf, Creating In Faith cards)

Mona created a mixed-media style layout featuring a variety of Color Bloom Sprays and beautiful dimension. Look how gorgeous those sprays are used together on a page!

"This month's color palette is so fun and cheerful! I focused on the shade of Tiffany Blue, while adding a hint of the other colors to the background, then embellishing with a variety of pretty flowers. " ~ Mona Pendleton

"I was really excited to be able to play again with Prima's monthly challenges. The PPP this month is gorgeous and so I was glad I was able to create with such a colourful palette. I used the new IOD oil pastels to create the water-colour background. Then I added flowers from the Royal Menagerie collection, as they matched perfectly. This palette was a perfect fit for this photo of my daughter. Her face painting makes her look like a rainbow fairy." ~ Keren

November's BAP sketch, by Riikka Kovasin, is simply fabulous and perfect for showcasing more than one photo. Just look at the huge area for journaling, and the wonderfully trendy, almost-off-the-edge title spot! Our designers on both the Design Team and Educators LOVED it so much! Here are a few samples for you to get your mojo going!

"This is VERY different for me, more simple and graphic, but I just interpreted the sketch that way! I flipped the sketch once and used one photo instead of two, but kept the design pretty close to the actual sketch!" ~ Patti

"This month's BAP Challenge inspired me to create something about ink layers. So I decide to create a mixed-media page with Color Bloom sprays and Art Basics modeling paste to add texture and interest to my project. Don't be afraid to let your creative soul shine! We wanna see what you have in mind!" ~ Rommel

The Engraver line created the most beautiful background for documenting the wonderful relationships between grandparents and grandchildren! DeeDee followed the sketch very closely, which provided beautiful balance and eye-pleasing "white space" to the design.

"I made this layout base don the sketch after rotating it 90 degrees! I used the Posey lace trim to create "snowflakes" and the stencil (irregular dots) will create a beautiful bokeh effect. I really like this stencil." ~ Maiko

“Have you ever tried using a sketch, designed for a layout, into a card? I love doing this and find it so inspiring. Today I’ve used Riikka’s beautiful sketch to create a card, using bit and pieces of the lovely A Victorian Christmas collection, including chipboard pieces, flowers, a ticket, crystals, and stamps. One of my most favorite ways to use Prima stamps is to create a very subtle pattern using ink one shade darker than the background, such as with the Christmas stamps used vertically in the upper right corner of my card.” ~ Melissa
