It has been a while since I've posted anything Prima. Having to keep things secret (hee hee) for CHA releases does that to a girl! But, I do have some fun new layouts to share!
First up, July's Build-a-Page sketch has landed:
Here's what I did (it's pretty much a mirror image of the sketch):
I took my new typewriter for a test drive and added text to some of the flowers:
And here you can see that I added some paint to the outside edge of a fabric flower to create a bit more contrast.
You can see the other girls' interpretations here.
To enter YOUR project based on this month's sketch simple go to the CONTEST GALLERY on the Prima site. PLEASE include "July BAP"
in your title; make sure the photo uploaded is LESS than 150 kb; and
please make sure the layout is Prima-based since it will be showcased
in our own gallery. Layouts using competitor's products will not be
accepted.
Entries must be received by July 25th to be eligible for the winning prize. A winner will be chosen near the end of the month! Have fun and GOOD LUCK!
This layout is one of my recent faves:
I had a lot of fun with the stitching down the left side and the french knots (as seen below).
The leaves are cut from the most gorgeous flocked paper. I was so sad to cut into it, but thrilled with how they turned out!
This layout has a ton of flowers on it, but they ended up kind of blending in.
The title is a little illegible, I'll admit it.
This layout is super simple.
But, did you know that these flowers…
…started life as the flowers below?
I used a lot of paint and glimmer mist to color them and the moisture opened up the flowers. So, I removed the ball in the center and was left with a much more open flower in a beautiful sparkly color!
I have a nagging feeling that I might have shown this layout before, but I can't remember, so here it is again (or for the first time)!
I have been on again and off again obsessed with paper ruffles!
I really like the fact that it doesn't have any flowers on it. Prima is so associated with flowers that it's nice to have a layout without them!
Thanks for stopping by!

You actually typed on the flowers? I’m surprised that they didn’t tear when put into the typewriter. Love the flowers, dorks and the cookie monster hat! Looks like a fun bunch of friends that you hang with!

love how you changed those flowers! I have a question about your creative process, if you wouldn’t mind answering it… do you plan your LOs, or do they evolve as you’re working?
I find “artsy” intimidating, because it feels like it just gets thrown together, but how can such awesome work just “come together” IYKWIM?
