Wild Ride by Karen Grose

Good morning Purple Pumpkin fans, welcome to another week :).  I'm here today with another LO to hopefully inspire you all.  This one was created for the latest Scrapbook Savvy CC, and it was a 123 Challenge to use Chipboard, Doodling and the word "wild".  Lots of bright colors and PP goodness on here

WILD RIDE

On here I have used the ever reliable flair buttons (star), a spotty flair button and tickets, as well as washi tape.  Can never have too much washi tape !!

Don't forget to enter our sketch challenge this month.  It was great to see so many people joining in last month :)  You no longer need to use PP products on your LO, but if you have some then of course we would love to see them.

That's it from me today.  Hope you have a great, scrappy week.

Karen

Good morning folks. Hope you're having a good weekend. It's turned a bit chilly here down in Victoria. Judith here with a recent layout I completed for an CSI challenge using lots of Purple Pumpkin goodness.  These are some previously unscrapped photos of my now 14 year old DD on her second birthday clutching her Bear in the Big Blue House bear that she got for her birthday.

And now for some close ups. Here is a spotty button top and some red striped washi tape.

Another spotty button top. I just love these.

I also used a aqua spotty button.

Hope you enjoyed this layout.

Don't forget about our sketch challenge. You've got to be in it to win it.

Cheers Judith xx

Life Is A Journey Enjoy The Ride - by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone, Debbie here with you today to share my layout using the July sketch.
 I enjoy working with old photos and have used one of my grandparents.  

I did a lot of layering with paper strips and washi tape on my layout along with some misting, stamping and masking.  Love the "worn" look of the layout with the pops of red.

Here I've used a beige crochet doily and a car fabric button.

Here I used a round which you can purchase in the store here.

Here I have used some text washi tape from the store.

I hope I have inspired you to join us for the July sketch challenge.  You can find all of the details here.

Upcycled loofah brush by Yvonne Yam

Hello there Purple Pumpkin fans! This is Yvonne here to share with you an upcycled loofah brush project brimming with Purple Pumpkin goodies;)

Love this photo of my nephews in the garden...so I thought a bumble bee fabric button would be the perfect embellishment. 

Love that the polka dotted fabric buttons make great mats for the cute photos! :)
