Guest Designer Melanie McKenzie

I am just so excited to be the Purple Pumpkin guest designer, I am so in love with Purple Pumpkin. Here are just some of the few layouts that I have done, this one is using one of my favourite Purple Pumpkin goodies, the Doiley, buttons and cogs

I have 4 boys, and it does get hard to find the 'right' embellishments for boy layouts, I do love using flowers but I do try to be careful as my boys get a bit oh yuck if I put to many flowers onto a layout, so I have found Purple Pumpkin feels those spots that just need that little something.
When I first saw Purple Pumpkin I was a bit hesitant to use some of the embellishments because I thought they were a bit bright, but after being given a few to have a play, I became so addicted to them and I was so surprised how the colours blended with so many of my papers, some were the perfect fit other colours were the perfect contrast to the papers.

I love the cute monkey and bird they are just so cute, and love it for my son who was 2 at the time of these photos.

Love that it works for the older boy as well. I find it really hard to scrap with things for my son who is 13. So Love that Purple Pumpkin seem to cater for that older boy.

Well I hope you like some of my layouts using the wonderful Purple Pumpkin, loved being guest designer and having the opportunity to play with more Purple Pumpkin.
