Easter Bonnet by Judith

Good morning Purple Pumpkin fans. Today I have a layout to share with you using some gorgeous PP fabric buttons and some Motex tape. This layout is inspired by the fist Stuck sketch this month.
I decided to match the bright colours sons hat and the navy of his uniform. 


Look at this gorgeous tiger button. Unfortunately it isn't currently available. I bought it a while back as it was something I just had to have but hadn't used. I decided this was the right layout for it as the smiling tiger symbolised the big smile on my son's face.


Next up we have a fabric orange bird button, chosen to go with the little chicks hanging from my son's hat.
 
Finally, I have used an ever useful orange fabric spotty button.


All my buttons were placed on orange tickets to ground them.

Finally, I added my journalling on some yellow Motex tape. There are lots of colours in the shop and it is ideal for journalling.


Thanks for looking. Hope I've inspired you. Maybe you could use some of those fabric buttons you've been hoarding!

Until next time

Judith xx

"4 year old happiness" by Arnlaug Koppang

Today I'm sharing another layout with you:-) For this page I used a  case file over at CSI for inspiration. This case file has a lot of bright colors which I find perfect for the Purple Pumpkin products.


On my layout I have used a crochet doilie, a felt heart, the cutest little birdie button and some washi tape. It seems like there is a perfect product for every layout to find in the store:-)



To make my layout I only used small bits of paper. First I put some molding paste through a stencil on top, then some mist and top top it of a bit of gesso to make the colors work better together.

Hope you like my page:-)

Never a dull moment layout by Yvonne Yam


Hello there Purple Pumpkin fans! Do you know that Purple Pumpkin has an incredible assortment of fabulous buttons? 


Right now, I'm totally in love with the wooden ones. Like the butterfly. And the round wooden ones with floral designs. Love how they just add that extra something on your layouts! :)


Till the next time! 

Cheers,

Giddy Up by Judith

Good morning. Last weekend, I went on my first scrapbooking retreat and had a fun time. This is one of the layouts I created whilst there.
This is my daughter having a pony ride at the local Melbourne Cup Day in the Park show. Sadly, it is no longer run. I wanted to create a kind of cowboy/wildwest feel the layout. I used October Afternoon Sasparilla patterned paper and stickers. I added some hessian, corrugated card and some chicken wire stencilling to make it a little more rugged. Then I added some Purple Pumpkin embellies to match.


Here a few close ups.


An inked red ticket.


A close up of my cluster, which includes a red ticket, a kraft tag, the brown rolled flower, XL cowboy button and brown twine.


Thanks for looking.
Don't forget our sketch challenge.

A tag made from lace scraps by Yvonne Yam


Hello there friends! What can you do with little bits of leftover lace scraps? You can use them all on a tag!


I picked out this fabulous floral fabric button from Purple Pumpkin, then worked in the rest of the elements in similar hues to match.

Cheers,
