"I don't scrap a lot with the color purple, so I absolutely loved that this palette that pushed me out of my comfort zone.

"I made the brutal layout about me and my husband. Words on it: «You and me. Fire together and always». I like the idea from the sketch to use two photos. I picked two photos of us from one series. I made the background for the layout with black gesso and blue-gold acrylic paint. Brutal black and rich gold. What could be better?" ~ Nastya Istorkina

"This month’s BAP sketch, by Rikka Kovasin, is simply fabulous and perfect for showcasing more than one photo. This challenge inspired me to create something with layers. So I decide to create a mixed-media page with Art Basics Modeling Paste to add texture and interest to my project. I’ve layered a couple pieces of pretty sheets from Almanac Collections, an old one, but still one of my favourite collections. Once the background was complete, I embellished with a combination of Mechanicals, Junkyard Findings, and paper die cuts. I hope you like my interpretation." ~ Monika Huculak

"The card sketch this month is absolutely amazing and versatile. I used the “Heaven Sent” collection to create the card. I used a vintage-inspired die-cut to anchor the individual design elements of the page. I cut the sweet balloon image from the patterned paper and placed it within the beautiful flowers and ephemera from the collection. I also added a single flower to the top of the card with a stunning resin leaf." ~ Robin Shakoor
