Love Documented - Monique Liedtke

Hi everyone, here's my latest layout using Imaginisce's "My Baby" collection and a beautiful crochet doily from the Purple Pumpkin store: 

I don't have a lot of baby layouts, but I do have a lot of baby photos. As I wanted to use this collection very much I decided to pull out the baby photos for once. 

Thanks for letting me share and if you're looking for some original details for your scrapbooking projects, hop over to the Purple Pumpkin online store! 

Cheers,

Monique

You and Me - by Monique Liedtke

I used this fabric button from Purple Pumpkin:

Some tickets: 

and some washi tape:

A real princess by Monique Liedtke

The entire month of May Creative Scrappers is celebrating 6 years of Creating with Sketches and in honor of this they have designed 12 new sketches. I've chosen one of them and used it to create this page of my lovely niece. She's playing dress up and is wearing one of my daughter's dresses (from when she was 8 or 9 years old). 

Except for the "Little Princess" collection from Imaginisce I've used the beautiful pink crochet doily from the Purple Pumpkin store, some silver with stars washi tape and a bit of twine. 

For more fabulous Purple Pumpkin goodies please hop over to the store! 

Thanks for now and I wish you a happy scrappy day! 

I heart Brussels - Monique Liedtke

I don't know about you, but I love to join in scrapbook challenges. This layout was created for a challenge where the main feature on my page had to be a circle. 

To accentuate the circles I embroidered and journaled around them and placed some flairs or Purple Pumpkin buttons in them, like this one with text: 

and this awesome spotty button top: 

Don't you just love them?! 

The photos were taken while we were in Brussels for a couple of days last February. 

Thanks for visiting Purple Pumpkin's blog and for taking a peek at my page!

Love You - Monique Liedtke

Hi everyone! It's Monique today sharing yet another layout featuring my daughter.

I created this layout with a papercrafting kit from Jenni Bowlin and a digital cutting file from Amanda Robinson Studio. I LOVE that so many of Purple Pumpkin's embellishments fit my pages! Take for example the crochet doily and the black spotty fabric button I used on this layout. I love them so much, I could easily use them on every layout I create! 

Hope you liked my page and that I've inspired you to do some scrapping today!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hugs,

Monique

Live while we're young! - Monique Liedtke

I've told you before that my daughter is a huge One Direction fan and that means I've got a lot of photos of her wearing this 1D hoodie: 

For a challenge over at Jenni Bowlin I created this layout using one of their kits and of course some of Purple Pumpkin's fabulous stuff! Do you know what I used? A fantastic orange spotty fabric button, two orange tickets and a beautiful crochet doily:

And a piece of my favorite washi tape, the red one with the small hearts:

Hope you liked my page and that I've inspired you to do some scrapping today! And if I did, maybe you feel like joining in with this month's sketch challenge (designed by me!)? There's still time to enter!! I would really love it if you did!!! 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Today is perfect - Monique Liedtke

Last month I joined a mood board challenge over the Hip Kit Club and I created this layout with Crate Paper's "Styleboard" collection and of course a few of Purple Pumpkin's goodies: 

I used the super fun yellow dotted fabric button: 

and lots of Purple Pumpkin's washi tape: 

There're so many fun goodies to choose from in the Purple Pumpkin store, often I just can't choose what to use! 

Hope I've inspired you to scrap a bit today! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Live Brightly - Monique Liedtke

If you would ask me what my favorite product is in the Purple Pumpkin store I would say the FABRIC buttons!! They are so awesome! There're so many different designs, colors, sizes ... there's always one that is just perfect for your project!!

Like this layout I created with a sketch from Creative Scrappers and the "Welcome Spring" collection from Imaginisce. I kept feeling something was missing until I thought of the PP tree fabric button!

Here's a close-up, isn't it perfect?

There're so many fun elements for your projects to be found in the Purple Pumpkin store! Hope you'll take a moment to check it out!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Till next time!

Hugs,

Shine - by Monique Liedtke

Today and tomorrow Jenni Bowlin Studio is hosting an online crop with lots of fun challenges.  And because I have a subscription to their kits and their March kit just arrived, I decided to put it to good use straight away!! One of the challenges was to create a page using cotton thread and paint ... well, I can do that!!

So here's what I made, a page about my lovely daughter.

What I love about Purple Pumpkin's goodies is that they coordinate with so many of the products I use. On this page I've used PP stars washi tape, tickets and twine.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back soon!

Hugs,
Monique

Forever - by Monique Liedtke

Hello Purple Pumpkin fans!

For today I've got a layout to share I created when I had a crop with friends last week. I used Doodlebug's "Sweetheart" collection and a "selfie" of my Cocker Spaniel and me.

I love how many of Purple Pumpkin's goodies coordinate with this collection. Take for example the fabric button with the pink elephant. Isn't it super cute? Okay, so it's not a dog, but it comes close, right?

Or the pink twine and the red washi tape with hearts, they've got the perfect colors for this page!

Thank you so much for stopping by Purple Pumpkin's blog today! Hope I've inspired you a little today :) !

Hugs,
Monique

One Direction with Monique Liedtke

I have a 17 year old daughter who's totally smitten with the boys from One Direction especially with the blond one, Niall. She has countless photos and posters of them in her room, went to their concerts when they were in Holland and when they are in London next June we're going there too! Yes, she's a true fan!! Oh how she would love to meet them irl! 

For today I created a layout of her posing in front of a 1D photo. I used a lot of Jillibean Soup and combined it with a crochet Purple Pumpkin doily, a piece of red PP washi tape with hearts and some PP twine: 

I'm sooooo happy with my Purple Pumpkin goodies!! Here's a close-up of the washi tape and the twine: 

and here's a close-up of the crochet doily:

and a close-up of the Silhouette cut I used and a tag with hidden journaling:

Thank you so much for stopping by Purple Pumpkin's blog today! I hope I gave you some inspiration to scrap! 

Hugs,

Monique

This is happiness! - by Monique Liedtke

Hi Purple Pumpkin fans! For today I've got a colorful Bella Blvd layout to share with you. The boy in the photo is my youngest wearing his dad's sun glasses and hat: 

 I love using washi tape: 

and the Motex Writer:

But also loving all the bits and pieces that come with this Bella Blvd "Daily Chevies and Everyday Bits" collection like the journaling cards and the stickers. As far as I'm concerned ... the more embellishments, the better!

I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration today! Thank you so much for visiting Purple Pumpkin's blog today!

Hugs,
Monique

Friends - by Monique Liedtke

Hi Purple Pumpkin fans! 

Today I've got a colorful layout for you using lots of scraps from my Webster's Pages stash. Last week they had a lot of challenges going on and I decided to play along.

I decided to scrap a photo of a day out I had with my friends.

Except for the Webster's Pages products I included some washi tape, twine, doilies and a few other bits and pieces. And of course I added a lot of machine stitching ... my pages aren't complete without it.

I hope I gave you some inspiration today! Thank you so much for visiting Purple Pumpkin's blog and I wish you happy scrapping!

Monique

Happy @ 49 - by Monique Liedtke

Hi Purple Pumpkin fans!!

For today I've got a layout about "me" for you. Scrapping about myself is not something I do very often, but my 17 year daughter insisted I scrap this photo of myself ... so, here it is: 

For this layout I used Lily Bee's "Sweet Shoppe" collection together with a lot of other bits and pieces, like this twine, black birds washi tape, Motex tape and kraft tags! 

A few close-ups: 

I love to add pieces of washi tape to my layouts! 

Thank you so much for stopping by Purple Pumpkin's blog today! Hope to see you back soon! 

Cheers,

Monique
