Believe by Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

Welcome Purple Pumpkin fans!
Julianne here today, sharing a very colourful creation with you. I
n case you haven't already noticed, I have a thing for colour - and lots of it! 


I created this layout as part of my DT commitments for Scrap Around The World. 
It was based on a sketch and an inspiration board. 


I am totally smitten with the Purple Pumpkin tags. They are so addictive, so pretty, and so versatile.
I think I could easily use them on every layout, lol!
And did you know those gorgeous doilies come in a variety of colours?
 It's hard choosing just one!!!


And who doesn't love these tiny little resin roses! They are so cute and dainty. Plus they have a slight shimmer to them, which is perfect for my layouts. 

Thank-you for stopping by today, and I hope you are having a wonderful week. 
Are you ready for the weekend? I am - it means I get time to scrap! :-)

But first, I must stock up - don't forget to check out all the new things in the Purple Pumpkin store
Right HERE. But be quick - they won't last for long!

"Say Cheese" LO by Karen Grose

Hi Purple Pumpkin fans, Karen here with another creation to share with you.  I created this LO for the current White with 1 challenge, which was to use white/black/badges or banners.  





On my LO I have used lots of Washi tape - Black Loops, as well as a Chevron Flair button, Purple Pumpkin tag and one of the Fabric covered star buttons.








All of these embellishments are perfect to finish off any project.  So don't delay, visit the store today and grab yourself a bargain.  There are also re-stocks of the gorgeous flowers, so don't miss out.


And don't forget to play along with our sketch challenge this month.  Still plenty of time to upload your entries, we would love to see a few more  :)

Until next time, 
Happy scrapping
Karen

'Lovely Memories' Layout by Helen Tilbury





Hi there Purple Pumpkin fans!  
HELEN here with a layout I created for the kit club I work for, that is sponsoring The Color Room this month, so I am Guest Designing there along with the rest of the My Creative Scrapbook team.  


We were given a specific colour palette to follow so I had to use Purple Pumpkin embellishments that were red/orange.  I used a red ribbon flower available here, then I layered an orange yoyo flower on top of it (available here), then grunged my 'new' flower up with a brown inkpad.


I also used some resin roses from Purple Pumpkin, available here.


I used 3 all in all (see the one above under the 'Memories' word?) 
& if you look at the main image I have used another one on top of the 'Lovely' word too.  

These resin roses are a great buy at only $1.50 for 10.  
They are very handy for 'sprinkling' around your layout 'confetti' style!

There are lots of nice new flowers in stock in the Purple Pumpkin store right now -
look HERE at all your options & think about layering them up like I've done here.

For more details on how I made this layout  see my blog post HERE.

You & me by Vicky Varvadouka


Hello everyone!!

I hardly scrap photos of my DH as he doesn't like being photographed but I really love these two with Nefeli! Just look at her face expression!! Too cute!!

 "You & me"

This layout is not overloaded with embellies as I usually do, but there were too many colors so I decided to keep it simple!!

As you see below, I was out of "m" so I used two "n" and instead of "e" I used the number "3" upside down...The cute pink doily is Purple Pumpkin!!


Some Purple Pumpkin tickets and washi tape...



Thanks for visiting!!!
Have a nice weekend!!

Junior Top Gun by Judith


Good morning. Hope this week is treating you kindly.
Today I have a layout to share that I did for the My Creative Sketches challenge.

 I decided to get creative with Purple Pumpkin tickets and cut lengths of tickets in half to create the border. 6 tickets are exactly 12 inches long. I also replaced strips of pp with tickets.



I made my own star shaped embellishment cut from corrugated card and felt and added an XL dark blue star fabric button to top it off. I also used some PP orange twine for the banner.


Hope you enjoyed looking at this page.
Take care

Upcycled box by Yvonne Yam


I love altering sturdy boxes. Especially when I get to use cute supplies from the Purple Pumpkin store! :)


The base of the box was first sprayed with a layer of gesso. Then I scrunched some wrapping tissue on the lid and added some acrylic paints. I finished with a layer of glass bead gel for a lovely glitter sheen.


Now comes the fun part. I upcycled an old leather phone case as a mat, then added a purple crochet doiley, a large fabric owl button, crochet blooms and a resin rose. I also added some yummy twine!


Hope you like my upcycled box! Till the next time!

Cheers,
Yvonne
