Guest designer - Judith Armstrong

 I was so excited to find out I was to be a guest designer for Purple Pumpkin as I am such a big fan from way back. I have a huge stash and it is my pleasure to show you how I have used some PP products.

First up is Big Lizzie.This is a layout of my son when we went up to Mildura to visit his grandfather. Big Lizzie is a huge old prime mover built in 1916, which is now parked on the roadside at Red Cliffs on the way to Mildura.  One of my favourite products (besides the buttons) are the vinyl cogs that Sam produces and I was thrilled to find some in my GD pack.

Here is a close up my embellie cluster which includes a PP black doily, PP black vinyl cog and 2 PP buttons – skull and cross bones and a red spotty button.

This next close up shows a snippet of a black vinyl cog which I cut up so that I could make it go further. I also used some pp red tickets which I stamped with a black arrow, which I think looked great.

 My next layout is Waiting.

Sam sent be a purple kit in my GD kit and as luck would have it purple is my DD’s favourite colour so I have loads of photos of her wearing purple! This layout is based around the multicoloured large button you can see in this closeup.

Luckily I had some photos to match of DD and her best friend Rachel, when I took them to see Open for Inspection at The Block last year. Waiting was the theme of the day as the queue was probably a mile long and we didn’t get anywhere close to seeing inside the houses.

Here are another couple of close ups showing pp buttons, a purple pp doily which I cut in 2, some pp cabochons and some purple twine.

The third layout I created using my GD kit was Purple and denim, my DD’s favourite choice of clothes at the moment

And here is a close up of the fabulous PP purple and denim flower which I based my layout around.

I have created heaps more layouts using Purple Pumpkin products and you can find them on my blog at http://judith-pagesofmemories.blogspot.com.au/

I would just like to end by thanking Sam and Sandra for having me as Guest Designer.
