Prima - December BAP

0

Hi everyone, I hope you have a great time enjoying some family time as we wind down 2012.  I know my house is a buzz right now with preparations for Christmas, and New Years.  Last night I had a little quiet time, and decided to do my layout submission for the Prima December BAP challenge.  

The challenge is to make a Prima layout using this sketch created by Marie-Nicolas Alliot:

 

My daughter got a new haircut yesterday, and took these pictures with her cell phone. I wanted to use these as my three pictures for the layout since she was making some cute sassy faces in the photo.  To make the colors of the photos blend better, I decided to print them black and white.

 

 

I used the Prima Tea Thyme Marcella paper as my base for the layout.  I didn't have a chevron so I decided to use a brick stencil with molding paste instead.  To give the brick some color I sprayed it with Chocolate Dylusions Ink Spray (love the rich color of this spray), then for the sparkle a spritz of Glimmer Mist - Hot Chocolate.   To mimic the ink splatters in the sketch I pounced a Black Soot Distress Stain onto the paper until the desired splatter was achieved.

 



 

 

 

I cut strips of the Tea Thyme 6x6 paper and curled it to give a base and frame for the photo. To soften it and add multiple textures, I used doilies, music paper, and linen canvas as well.   To soften the edges of the photos I decided to use a few layers of  Prima lace, and flanked each side with a journal spot from the paper collection to give a "ticket - tab" edge. Then I finished the layers with some chipboard pieces from Prima's Nature's Garden collection.   For the flower I used one of the white flowers in the Prima Soubrette Collection then used my Tim Holtz Distress Pens in Spun Sugar and Mustard Seed to color the flower to match the Prima Classic rose buds at the bottom of the layout.



 

 

 

The Nature's Garden Chipboard was the perfect element to add my title.  I used the Prima Romance Novel Canvas Alpha letters in two different colors to match the layout.   The classic roses and cherry blossom vine from Prima were the perfect final touch. They remind me of  trellis roses climbing a brick wall.

 

Don't forget that Flamingo Scraps has offered a fantastic coupon with 50% off your Prima purchase from now until December 25.

All Boy!

My nephew Cooper, at 4 years old, was wanting to go hunting with the big boys.  So Brighton, my Son, dressed him in Camo (way too big for him), painted his face, and gave him a BB Gun (with no amo).  He was so stink'n adorable, I had to take pictures of him.

Prima's Sept. BAP contest seemed like the perfect opportunity to scrap this photo.   Here is the final layout that I created.

 

I started with the Prima Script paper as my base, added some molding paste with a Prima Printery mask, then went to town spritzing with copper and bronze shimmering sprays.  I pounced some forest green shimmers in a diagonal across the page to give a hint of green, then finished off with Wheat Fields Glimmer mist.  All these colors remind me of my camo boys in the middle of fall.

 

The Prima Shabby Chic Deer resin was the perfect accent for this layout.  I framed Cooper's picture with corrugated cardboard, a Prima vine, and  Prima large leaves that I cut into palm frown shapes.  I finished off the title with a Nature's Garden Chipboard piece.  

 

Under his picture I tucked in a toy compass that came from a toy machine that Cooper and I had gotten after dinner one night.  I love the addition of one of his toys in the layout. 

 

Here is a look at the Sept. BAP Sketch, designed by Hege Lundquist that was required for the layout design.   For more information on Prima's BAP (Build A Page) Monthly Contests, please visit Prima's blog.

 

 

 

I love how masculine this layout turned out with all Prima products. Prima makes girl layouts a cinch, but I really had to dig into my creative side to achieve this masculine look. I really enjoyed the challenge.

 

Did you participate in the Sept. BAP Challenge?  If so, I would love to see your layout, please tag me in the photo on the Artsy Addicts Facebook page. 

 

Thanks for stopping in today,
