Squid Squad layout by Yvonne Yam

There's nothing quite like enjoying street food when you are in Taiwan. This layout is all about my family enjoying some barbecued squid.

I love how easy it is to use the embellishments from the Purple Pumpkin store. Can you spy the twine, the ticket and the pretty butterfly button? Just some of the sweet offerings at the Purple Pumpkin store!


Cheers,
Yvonne

Best Buds by Karen Grose

Hello PP fans, hope you're all having a great week.  I'm here to hopefully inspire you again today with my latest PP creation.  This was a "just because" LO.

"Best Buds"

Plenty of fabulous PP embellies on this LO including tickets, twine, washi tape and 2 of the large fabric patterned buttons.  Lots of misting, painting and stamping on here too to create a grungy feel to match the picture :)

A close up of the buttons

That's it today :)  Hope you all have a scrappy week :)

Too Tall by Judith

Good morning and welcome to the start of another week. Today I have a layout to share with you that I completed recently for a colour challenge. I had fun creating the background using Dylusions spray, water and a Crafters Workshop template. Then I added more chevrons using ink. I also used some Viva Decor Ferro texture paint to add the brick wall using another template.

Some close ups of my Purple Pumpkin goodies. This XL fabric button started life as blue, white and yellow but because I needed orange I just altered the colour using a normal texta. Worked a treat. You would never know!

 
Another Purple Pumpkin spotty fabric button teamed up with some blue chevron washi tape.

Other Purple Products I have used: Grey polka dot washi tape and an orange spotty fabric button.

Well that's me done for today. Hope you got some inspiration.

"100 Days" by Karen Grose

Happy Saturday PP fans.  Karen here today to show you another creation using the wonderful Purple Pumpkin goodies.

This LO was created for the current Stuck?! challenge.

"100 DAYS"

This LO is of my son celebrating 100 days of Prep.  On here I've used a couple of the fabric buttons and a ticket.  Love how the buttons finish off a LO, and the apple matched perfectly with the papers on this one :)

Drink up layout by Yvonne Yam

I love scrapping fun photos about family "adventures". Here's one about a recent family vacation to Taiwan and how excited we were to discover that they had supersized bottles of our fave cultured milk drink. :)

I love tucking my Purple Pumpkin tickets under my photo mats and adding a fun Purple Pumpkin fabric button to add a little more interest to my photo.

Cheers,

Yvonne
