March Build-A-Page challenge from Prima

Whoa - how did I miss posting this?  It was sitting in my Draft box the whole time ... well here you go!

The March sketch for Prima's BAP was very Pocket Scrapbooking inspired.  I used the Engraver collection and followed the sketch closely without taking too many liberties.

 

Here is the sketch....

Prima - challenges - Build A Page and Prima Product Picks

So, maybe going to Art Venture Anaheim has given me an advanced opportunity to share with you some of the new Prima products - The BAP is using the Something Blue collection as well as the background is from the Script stack  The PPP is on a canvas board and I used some of the new resins and a tassel from CHA 2014 release.  The last layout is using the Princess collection - and I'll just mention here how much I love the new Say It In Crystals - they are fantastic - they look like moonstones or iron pyrite to me!

Prima Build A Page July 2013 entry

Using Lyric collection and the Prima Build-a-Page sketch for July.  I used heavy weight gesso, color shine, stamping, and of course Prima flowers and embellishments.

 I squeaked this under the wire.  Prima has a new way of submitting your BAP entries now, you have to do it right from their blog post, instead of emailing the.  I kinda liked the old way, because it meant that someone was actually looking at the entries and selecting which ones to feature on their blog.  Now, unless you scroll to the bottom of the blog post you won't even know the entries are there.  And they are only thumbnail sized.  So, I have provided you a larger view of my layout.  I also posted it on my Facebook (and tagged Cari LOL) 

 

Photo Bomb, Cari Fennell of Prima.  It was a humorous moment actually.  I was posing for a photo and Cari jumps in behind and makes this teethy grin - I love the spontaneity of this photo, the quality is not really there, but it was cute nonetheless.  I wonder if she will even see it?  What is even funnier is the very next photo was Emma trying to photo bomb Cari photo bombing me ... and all you can see of Emma in that photo is a blurry shot of the back of her head and not much of Cari or I - not scrapworthy, LOL

Challenge me!

I've been trying to take part in more challenges recently.  I love the sketch challenges from Prima Marketing, and have entered twice.  This month I've entered not only the sketch challenge (Build A Page - or BAP as they call it) I've also entered the Prima Product Pick - or PPP as they call it.


Build-A-Page (BAP)

This month's sketch is kind of interesting - I couldn't tell if they wanted two photos stacked on top of each other, but I just used one, and framed it out.  I loved the implied texture with the stamping and stencilling and ink splats.  I used some paper from the Annalee collection - is it very pretty and girly, and was perfect for this photo of my daughter digging into the toy box at a friends cottage.

Prima Product Picks (PPP)



This month its all about GREEN - I assume for St. Patrick's day coming up.  I'm a fan of green, it's my favorite colour (right after pink of course) but I tend not to scrapbook much green, especially green flowers.  Its a great colour to do either a boy or a girl page, but you know me, I picked my girl again!  I kept this page full of natural elements, canvas, hemp twine, feathers and that adorable little bird nest that Prima makes.  I even got to use my Jamie flower!  I was so excited about that, I have been hoarding it for a while, for the right project - this was it!

 

 

 

 

 
 
 Well there you have it folks - two challenges.  There is still time for you to enter these contests, you have until the end of March 2013 to send your layouts into Prima.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you are thinking!

What's a little challenge amongst friends?

At Auntie Em's Scrapbooking we are all about the challenge.  So when Emma asked me to put together as many projects as I could out of 8 sheets of patterned paper I was all for the challenge.  What's even more challenging is the fact that she gave Sara (fellow Design Team member) 8 sheets of patterned paper too! *rubbing hands together* I love it!

I received the Prima line En Francais - filled with cool grey/blue, rusty brown and taupe ... very boy, but very French as well, and well ... I don't have anything French about me, unless you count the mean French toast that I make periodically on a Sunday for my family LOL!

I also have entered this into the Prima Marketing - Build-A-Page contest, each month they supply a sketch and you build a layout using Prima product based on, or inspired by the sketch.  Email it off to Prima and wait to see if you are featured on their blog or better yet, win a prize package!  I did this last month as well, and was featured on their blog!!

So ... here we go!  The sketch was this:Prima's BAP January 2013

 

And here is my entry!!

 

 

So, tell me what do you think?
