It's a Purple Pumpkin Christmas! :)

Hello! I've been scrapping some Christmas layouts lately - getting right into the "spirit" - and here I'd like to share one of my latest, laden with gorgeous Purple Pumpkin embellishments. :D

My layout is called "I (Heart) Xmas!!"...


I've used tickets, doilies - including mini ones, medium ones and die-cut ones made from paper (I got a gorgeous bunch of these paper doilies in my Girl Lucky Dip Bag... JOY!!!" :)...

And a twine bow, Spotty Dotty fabric button, a Santa fabric button, a cute gift-giving birdie fabric button (which I "squished" into the spotty dotty, before adhering with glue).


Plus two gorgeous squishy vinyl hearts (that make up part of my title) in red and green. I doodled on those... ;)

That's all from me for now - I hope you liked my Christmassy share!

Merry Christmas,
Chantal

Paint, twine & big buttons by Sar

Three ingredients for the perfect scrapbook page...

- Paint
- Twine
- and one big button!

Of course, you'll need to throw in some super cute photos and a bit of style...but with these three things included you can't go wrong.

I love that with paint will make the perfect background if I don't have the right paper....twine is the essential addition of interest to a page...and buttons, do I even have to explain?! There is the perfect Purple Pumpkin button for every layout you make!

Swing - a page of my little Bronte girl using the gorgeous October Afternoon Sidewalks range and of course, mixed with Purple Pumpkin goodness.


and a closeup of the big Purple Pumpkin owl button, isn't it divine!


Its so busy this time of year I'm finding it hard to get any scrapping in...hopefully soon I'll find a spare five minutes to get creative!!

Vintage Classic - Crece

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a great weekend...Ive just sat through a storm here where I am...
I would like to share with you today a layout I created during the week, with some old photos of my Uncle when he was younger fixing an old car of his.

 

and some close ups...

Here you can see an orange vinyl cog that I got from my 'boy' lucky dip from the resent Purple Pumpkin Sale...I also added a small pale blue spotty button...

Here I have used an orange doily again from the 'boy' lucky dip, some yellow tickets and a small vintage button that I got in a vintage pack from Purple Pumpkin awhile ago...

Have a wonderful week, take care and keep on creating :)

Baby Snuggles - Sara

Good afternoon everyone.

I am scared at how close Christmas is, are you all organised as yet?

I have just one layout to share with you all today as I am running out of time to create at the moment. My youngest, Max, was such a tiny baby. I loved nothing more than snuggling him into my chest.

And a close up of the deer button.

And of the cluster at the bottom.

Have a great weekend.

So happy now..

 One of the things I never scrapbook enough, is the funny little phrases my kids say. I always have the best intentions to do it, but before long they stop saying it, and I forget about it! 

I have just used a portrait photo of Zayne for this one, as obviously I can't get a photo of him saying it lol.

He has recently entered the terrible three's, and has started with the tantrums and whingeing a lot... On the occassions he gets sent for a sleep after a big tanty he will come out 5 minutes later and tell me he is 'so happy now'... I have made this layout using what was left of my November She's Savvy kit, adding in plenty of Purple Pumpkin embellies here and there! I have used tickets, a doilie, a cute little teddy fireman button, a felt flower and of course my favourite, some twine!

Just a little closeup of the embellies... Love the dimension they give!

Beautiful...

Well this Xmas we are really lucky to have a baby in the house. My brother and his wife have been trying for quiet some time to start a family - finally they succeeded and Alexa was born last month on the 14th Nov.

It feels great to go shopping for a new baby(and i can handle girl things i think!!!LOL) and i can get clucky and spoil and give back to mum and dad.

So this is a pic of Alexa just a couple of weeks old. My kids are glad for an extra edition to the family cause that means not as many photos of them instead now..LOL...

Some close ups:

Did you spot the tiny owl button???? Really cute isn't it...

And the tickets are great for tucking under embellishments...

And of course what would a layout be without a crochet doiley...love these to bits !!

Thanks for taking some time out to have a look see at my creation...hope my brother likes too...

This is also my entry for Scrap the Girls this month and the criteria had to be BABIES.....think i covered that theme right????

Hello Tuesday!  I hope the sun is shining brightly on you today.  In case it isn't, I've got a page that will hopefully lift your spirits.

"Hello Sunshine"

Take a peek at the cluster of Purple Pumpking goodies.

I gave the yellow doily a little spritz of glimmer mist to antique it just a bit so it would compliment the Simple Stories paper.  That is one of the many things I love about this hobby.  There is very little, if anything, that we can't do if we set our mind to it...kind of like life.  With that deep thought, I'll sign off for today.

Cheers, Tracey
