He got a DS!

Hi everyone, it feels like a long time since I posted here, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!!

We spent ours with family and had an awesome day, the kids got only a few pressies this year, and loved them all. Zayne got a DS which he was especially happy about, and a Thomas the tank engine game to go with it, so when asked if Santa came, that's what he tells everyone he got, even though it was from us not Santa lol... On this page I have included some Purple Pumpkin tickets {my new favourite} a button, and of course some twine. I'm loving banners on my pages lately, and the twine is fantastic as a finisher for them!!

Christmas Cards by Sara

I know that Christmas is well and truly over but I have been wanting to use up some of my Christmas paper scraps and I thought, why not get started on next year's cards whilst I was still in the Christmas spirit.

I have used the Merry Savvy Brights kit from Scrapbook Savvy to create this set of 3 cards.

On the first card, I have used a large tree button.

The next one, a felt tree and some twine.

And the final card, a present button.

The buttons and felt tree came from my Christmas Lucky Dip from the last sale.

So who said PP embellishments had to be used on layouts, why not give some cards a try too.

Merry Xmas from Sar

Still well & truly in the Christmas spirit in my house, being on holidays from work and spending lots of time relaxing, eating, drinking, scrapping and playing with my kids & their new toys. Love it!

Here is a page I managed yesterday using the new Merry Savvy Traditional Kit from Scrapbook Savvy, combined with some awesome Purple Pumpkin buttons and twine which are always a great way to finish my page off.

Cherish - Layout By Crece

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I sure did and was thankful my boys didn't wake me til 7:30am this year (beats the 5am wake up call from most years)

I haven't had a chance to print out any new Christmas Pics as of yet - couldn't handle going to the shops Boxing Day...so I thought I would share this layout I have been working on for the last few days as a gift for my Very Bestest Friend Nicole

(who is the beautiful bride in this layout)

I have used some oldish Bo Bunny Papers 'Jazmyne' the pinks, purples and greens work so well together.
It may be a little hard to see, but I have crossed stitched along the middle join using some pink/white bakers twine from Purple Pumpkin...

Close ups...

 I just love this XLarge Purple Spotted Button, it works well with this paper range...

Here is another close up showing another spotty button, but I have layered a Silver Butterfly on top of it, I have also used a pale pink doily behind this cluster.

We are now only down to single digits to the New Year, however you Celebrate the New Year please be Safe and have a wonderful time...Bring on 2012

Merry Christmas!

Just popping in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! Hope you've had a wonderful day :)

Ho Ho Ho! Only 2 more sleeps to go!!!

Hi there!

Not long now hey?

Here is a Christmassy layout, that I created for Get Picky's latest challenge DT sample.

I've included LOTS of festive Purple Pumpkin goodies on this one...


It's called "It's Santa!!" :) :)

Don't you just love scrapping these joyful layouts? I do! :D

I especially love scrapping these kinds of layouts when it's LADEN with so many lovely embellishments, from Purple Pumpkin! It's almost like trimming the tree! (Which I love to do too!)...


I've got PP Christmas buttons and die-cut doilies, plus traditional doilies...



I love the different sizes PP buttons come in. Just perfect (and uber cute!) :D

Well I'd also like to take this opportunity to say a big MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!! Stay safe and HAVE FUN! :)

TFL!
Chantal :)

3 more sleeps...

My three are getting so excited....

Its only 3 more sleeps until Santa comes with all the presents !! Mind you i am still wrapping presents. Normally i am done and dusted by now - bit slow this year..LOL..usually ALL organised!!

Well i don't think i have completed so many xmas projects in one year before...unbelievable...i don't normally scrap alot of xmas photos...but it has felt good this year.

and the buttons i got in my DT pack are gorgeous and so easy to pop into the middle of a flower as an embellishment.

Well i hope all our Purple Pumpkin bloggers have a wonderful Xmas and safe one too if you are travelling to see love ones xxx
