Love my shorts???

This is actually funny....

My daughter wore a dress for her Yr 6 Formal, but she had a pair of shorts underneath all night. She was frightened the boys were going to look up there..LOL. Mind you this was the second dress we picked for the special night.The first she said looked like a "bubble".So we took it back to the shops and finally decided on the dress in the photos.

This layout is based on the sketch over at Sketches with a Twist.

Here is a close up of the famous spotty buttons:

and a bit of twine:

Hope everyone is getting excited and ready for the BIG sale on Friday!

Embellished Tag by Sara

Good evening everyone

My layout today didn't actually start with the layout. I was playing with my mists onto some tags, trying out colour combinations. I was happy with how this tag had turned out and so decided to create a PP embellished tag before then adding it to a layout.

On my tag, I have used tickets, a doilie, a XL alphabet button and of course some twine at the top. A close up:

Have a great week.

Felt Flowers & Twine...

Welcome to the Purple Pumpkin Blog today! I hope your day so far has been fabulous, unlike mine in which I've been fighting with computers and wishing I was at my scrap desk instead of sitting there trying to figure it all out!

The layout I would like to share with you today is called 'St Pius Turns 50' which is a page for my son Cooper's album. His school celebrated its 50th Birthday last year, and Cooper was very excited to be there. His Daddy was a student at the school when it celebrated its 25th birthday, so that was something they had in common and were both thrilled to be a part of.

On my layout, I have used two of the gorgeous products available at Purple Pumpkin.


A big blue & red felt flower...


...as well as the blue & white twine which is just perfect for all those boy pages. Love attaching my twine with staples, nothing easier!


Thanks for visiting, see you again soon!

Kids In the Kitchen

I have been waiting to scrap these photos of Emma cooking at nan's house for a while now. So i finally found some pp that tied in with my Scrapmatts chipboard and of course my Purple Pumpkin buttons and twine.

And i couldn't resist taking some close ups of the gorgeous buttons:

This layout was based on the latest Stuck sketch for February.

Hope i have inspired you to go off and scrap some cooking photos or maybe even bake a cake...LOL !!!

Sonshine - By Crece

Happy midweek everyone...
Hope everyone has received all their yummy Purple Pumpkin Goodies from the last sale...I cant wait to see whats on offer at the next sale. Remember you can still purchase twine, tickets and basic button sets over at the Purple Pumpkin Store anytime...even when there is NO sale on (awesome!).

Moving right along to my Layout i would love to share with you today...
I was playing around with some Kaiser Papers that were released last month, the colours were really not my norm but I love what I came up with, and I hope you do too...

 I titled it 'You are the Son-shine of my life'  cos my lil Fletchy is....

He always has somehting funny to say to cheer me up, and his hugs are extra special :)

 Above and below, show how I used the Large Owl Buttons, i love these buttons they are so cute, they look fab on this Kiaser wooden birdcage.

I have used a denim/red floral button that i received in a Purple Pumpkin pack ages ago, I thought the colours of it worked well with this paper.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week...
thanks for looking XXX

Wishing You a Day Filled With Love

For today's post, I thought it only fitting to showcase a Valentine's Day project.  This mini album is a gift for my husband.  Shh! Don't tell. 

Supplies:  Album (Magistical Memories), Paper & Stickers (Echo Park), Clear Stickers (SRM Stickers), Spinner (Little Yellow Bicycle), Button (Purple Pumpkin, Jenni Bowlin), Binding Ring (7 Gypsies), Trims (Prima)

If you take a look at the little panda button on the front, you will notice that though this may not be specifically themed for Valentine's Day, it crosses over just fine and suits the theme perfectly.

That's all for today.  I hope you all enjoy a wonderful day filled with love.

Cheers!

Marshmallow Monday! ;)

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you a layout that I created using these cute pics at a yummy-named park!...


It's a lovely park, but alas - there are in actual fact - NO MARSHMALLOWS! LOL! :)

I've drawn my own leaves and grass - it was really fun making the five small photos "peek" through the blades...


I've stuck a Kaisercraft rhinestone butterfly on top of a piece of Purple Pumpkin doily trim and er, "trimmed" around it...


This makes the butterfly really stand out and I love the tactile feel the doily trim adds to this now too.

And I love this Purple Pumpkin handmade fabric flower...


I've actually glued a Spotty Dotty Button on top! :D And I've drawn some leaves onto some left-over paper and cut them out.

That rose cabochon is also from PP. They are super cute!

I've used last week's palette at The Colour Room for this layout... I just LOVE colour - do you? I especially have a liking for bright colours too!!

Well that's all from me today! I hope you liked my "Marshmallow Monday" share! Have a great week!!!

TFL!
