Sneak Peeks - Sale this Friday!!

Good morning Purple Pumpkin fans! We have been super busy getting ready for our first sale of 2012, and we have so many cute embellishments lined up. Many of these went our in our Lucky Dip bags last year, but because all the Lucky Dips were different, I'm sure there will be something new here for everyone.

Ready for a bit of a sneak peek?

First up are these Retro Kids XL Buttons....


Aren't they just the cutest?! These Owl Buttons are pretty cute too...



And how about this sweet little Ballerina....



And here are some of our latest colours of twine...


Keep an eye on the blog this week, because we've got a heap more sneak peeks to share before the sale this Friday, as well as some VERY EXCITING NEWS!!

Double Take!! ;)

Hello again! I've another layout to share with you all today, because I had to take my other layout "Waiting" down. Look out for it soon in an upcoming issue of Scrapbooking Memories! :)

This layout was created for a colour challenge at Kraft it Up. I had such fun creating this...


I've used plain Kraft cardstock as my base, masked it with some AC stickers (they are really low-tack so they are great for this, actually!) and yes, that's Stickers, not Thickers lol) and glimmermisted it lightly, adding a few splatters by sqirting some of the mist into the lid and dripping it on there too.

I used pre-misted paper doilies from a previous layout, in which I'd used them as masks on white cardstock. :)

I loved using these bright colours because they really matched the photos of my daughter Lucy and her friend. On this layout I've documented that alot of her friends get them mixed up... even their teacher!

Have a look at these two cute red and white Spotty Dotty buttons from Purple Pumpkin...


I layered them by putting one partially over the other, and "squishing" them a bit. The top one dents into the the bottom one! Have you ever tried this before? It's really fun!!! :D

That's all from me today!

Until next time!!

Cheers,
Chantal :)

Waiting & Waiting! ;)

Hello there! Today I'd like to share with you all my latest layout based on last week's colour palette at The Colour Room. The colours reminded me of the modern take on the traditional Christmas colours and I'm bursting to scrap some more Christmassy pics.

These pics are of my daughter's experience in having to wait in line for such a long time for a toddler (just over one and half hours) to see Santa. It was well worth the wait of course and they had such a lovely time on all the rides inside the magic cave. The wait was better than the year before though... 2 hours! LOL! :)

So here's my layout, "Waiting & Waiting"...


I've used OA's new line "Holiday Style" here along with their green sprinkler spray. I've used some numbers for the "countdown" theme. I also used the negative sheet as a mask.

Here are a couple of closies of the gorgeous Purple Pumpkin goodies that I've used on my layout...


Check out that gorgeous PP felt flower (albeit cut up) - I love those bright pinks! And so funky too!


Peekaboo! There's the rest of it! I've also got PP doilies and doiley trims (all cut up too - LOL. That way you can also s t r e t c h them out before you glue them - they take on a different look! An example of this technique is in my first close-up photo). And of course a PP Spotty Dotty button - the perfect finishing touch, I always say! :)

This layout was a joy to make! The Christmas spirit is still going! For me anyway!!

Have you got some awesome Chrissy photos you need to scrap? This month's sketch is a great starting point to get the job done! I think Purple Pumpkin's embellishments give a real "warm vibe" to festive pics such as these. I just love 'em! :D

TFL!

Cheers,
Chantal ;)
