Haystack Harry by Judith

Good morning from a chilly Victoria. The weather here is topsy turvy at the moment. It was warm, almost spring like on Thursday and today it is decidly chilly.

Today I have a colourful layout I created for the Scrap Your Stash challenge which involved using only red, white and blue. I created my background by using paint and then added some red zig zag washi tape, red and blue ric rac and stamping randomly in red and blue. I added some chipboard pieces and then my photo. My son has really strong thick hair on which a comb is absolutely useless. Most of the time it looks ok but once it gets to a certain length it starts sticking up in all directions and has earnt him the nickname 'Haystack Harry' when it does.

Here are a few close ups of the Purple Pumpkin goodies I have used. Here I have used a vinyl red and blue round with star and a red and white spotty fabric button.

Here I have used a red spotty fabric button on top of the washi tape.

And here I have used a blue fabric button, again on top of red zigzag washi tape.

Hope you have found this layout inspiring and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Blonde (Again) by Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

Hello, Purple Pumpkin fans. Julianne here today, sharing a layout I recently created for PaperHaus. On the 15th of every month, they do a "Remember Me" blog segment (it's all about remembering to scrap yourself). 

"BLONDE {AGAIN}"

I decided this was the perfect opportunity to record my recent change of hair colour. After being a red-head for many years, I have finally gone back to my natural blonde. It's still taking some getting used to. :-)

I love how the Purple Pumpkin goodies match so well with the Fancy Pants "Park Bench" paper range. They just "pop" off the page. Can you see which PP products I have used? I started with the black and white loop washi tape. I used it to help create my background. Then I added a kraft tag, and a cute camera flair button. 

Next, I added three blue crochet flowers to form my visual triangle, plus a gorgeous bright yellow polka dot button (I have a thing for polka dots - I just LOVE them!!!). 

And I couldn't help myself - I had to add a resin flower. They are just sooooo cute - I want to use them on everything!!!

So, do you have a favourite PP product? Leave a comment, and let me know. :-)

And don't forget to get your Purple Pumpkin July sketch entry in - you have until the end of the month, and then we will be choosing one lucky person to come and guest design with us. It could be you!

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you are having an awesome day.

Cheers,

Julianne.

"Discover, live, dream"

Hello my friends!!xx

This is one of my favorite layouts!! It is about me and my adventurous spirit!!

I like travelling, exploring, trying new things and dare!!! I have many dreams yet to accomplish but that keeps me going!!

As you see, the film strip frame and the star are left raw!! The air balloon and the word "Dream" were painted white, then I applied some glimmer glam (tattered angels) randomly and went around the edges with black ink.

These gorgeous flowers, doilies, buttons, flair buttons and washi tape are all Purple Pumpkin!!!!!!
Would you like to WIN some??? Come and play along at our sketch challenge which is open to everyone!!!!

Thanks for visiting!!!
Hugsss!!!xx

Life as we know it layout by Yvonne Yam

Are you into the colour pink Purple Pumpkin fans? Well, I am and I even use it on layouts featuring my nephews.

Can you spot the pink washi tape, the pink ticket and the red/pink/white heart flair button? *winks* I tried to tone down the pinkness with some black...Did it work?*LOL*

Don't forget to check out the Purple Pumpkin store for more pink goodness OR whatever colour you LOVE. There's something for everyone at the store!

Cheers,
Yvonne

Hi, Lisa here! I have been using some fun Purple Pumkin supplies for working in our Summer Bucket Project and the Finding Your Voice Summer Workshop. I have been in love in how the flair and tickets are adding perfectly to the "exploring" and "loving" themes I have on these first few pages! I am so excited to share them with you!

Here the whole first spread:
