Hello! Me again!! Here today with another share for Purple Pumpkin. Post copied & pasted below. Thank you for taking the time to pop in & visit me here - I really appreciate it :)
Hi there Purple Pumpkin fans! It's me again, Helen here. I have a new layout to show you today, using Purple Pumpkin washi tape, crochet braid & resin flowers. I hope it inspires you to break out your Purple Pumpkin stash or click into the store HERE and start shopping! Isn't it time you treated yourself?! Christmas was over 2 months ago now - definitely time for a little something...
My starting point here was the sketch over at The Scrapbook Store. I loved the long section (which was originally the photo area) but I switched things up & made that into my journaling block. I've seen lots of hand journaling around & wanted to create a layout with a lot of hand-writing on it for a change.
I used the Dear Lizzy {for American Crafts} papers from the Neapolitan line, together with my Purple Pumpkin embellishments, bling borders from Webster's Pages, an old book page & my Martha Stewart butterfly punches. I journaled with a 0.7 Zig writer from American Crafts & alphas are from Heidi Swapp.
Here's another close-up for you so you can read the entire story if you like :) Thank you for popping in today! Don't forget to play along in our sketch challenge (see sketch in sidebar). Have a lovely day...
Here's the sketch for The Scrapbook Store.
Thanks for stopping by!

LOVE your hand journaling - I'm a sucker for a story & LOVE the bread, I'm with C - also, did you notice? NO fat peeps in Paris - so my theory is their fresh bread with no 'extras' is actually v good for you:):) As are the Macarons, the tarte citrons, the moulles....sigh...now you've made me miss Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!
