Here are a few samples by the super talented Fran and Robin to get your inspiration going. (Photo creds: shoes, vintage Christmas)

BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC CARD- "This month's PPP palette is one is one of my favourite festive color combinations ! I've mixed Royal Menagerie paper with vintage music paper and corrugated card, highlighting areas with gesso, chalk paint, and smatterings of glass glitter. I chose a vintage Santa image from the Victorian Christmas collection which I "framed", then painted said frame with Egg Blue chalk paint to give it an almost patina finish. Lots of gorgeous embellishments include die-cut doilies, Crimson glass glitter, plus Prima berries and flowers." ~ Fran Westmoreland

"Tis the Season!  I love creating home décor projects and the “A Victorian Christmas” collection is full of gorgeous imagery which makes creating fun.  I used an altered metal frame as my inspiration.  I painted the frame white and added touches of blue chalkboard paint as an accent.  I added Lumies to a bottle-brush tree to give the effect of Christmas lights.  To finish my design I added flowers from “A Victorian Christmas and Royal Menagerie collections along with a jolly Santa chipboard piece. " ~ Robin Shakoor

This month's sketch is simply amazing! Riikka always adds gorgeous detail to the background, giving plenty of space for photos, a title, and journaling. Wouldn't a stencil design, or Color Bloom spray techniques work well on this month's BAP? We'd love for you to show us your BAP magic by submitting a Prima project by December 31st using the inlinkz button below! Our two samples could not be more beautiful! Joanne and Evgenia really made masterpieces!

 

"For my interpretation of this months BAP I chose to turn the sketch sideways and minimized all aspects of  it. I then added a few extra bits and pieces to make it my own." ~ Joanne Bain

"I have modified the sketch a little bit, so, instead of three small photos, I added a bigger one. To make the black background not look too dark for the children's photo I used bright colors for my flowers and for the Color Bloom sprays." ~ Evgenia Petzer

Beautiful projects!

[Emine Pala]

Sorry, i just can't find your mail adres Sharon. I'm an ex-designer on this blog.
Here is my mail and the goodies are looking amazing.

Hi Sharon,

Good evening or morning.
I was in 2007 guest designer for your blog. http://prima.typepad.com/prima/2007/06/meet_our_newest.html

I started scrapbooking again. And I would love to be an oldschool guest designer for prima marketing because I am totally in love with your new products. I'm off to go to get some more Prima Marketing products.

Can I send you an email before next weekend with prima products. And you can decide whether you like the pages or not.
And if there is a spot for guest designers. Or just a post.

I know I will make the most amazing pages (I'm working on them). And I want to do it the old school way with new products.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance Sharon.

Kind Regards,

Emine Pala
