"GOT TO LOVE A SUMMER TREAT"

Today, I have a 'sweet' Summer themed project to share with you. Summer isn't Summer, without an icy cold treat. Snow-cones are a huge favourite with both my daughters (and me too, lol!). So refreshing on a hot, hot day!!!

The title was created using a variety of alpha stickers, and a "Summer" tag sticker. 

The background was created with layers of papers, journal cards, and washi tape. 

A pinwheel adds a lovely summery feel to the layout... And a touch of bling for added sparkle!

A punched border around the edge, and a heart banner to signify the "love" of Summer. 

Supplies Used: Noel Mignon "Beach Blvd" kit (the perfect kit for a Summer themed layout); Basic Grey P&J paper; washi tape; Glossy Accents; and Kindy Glitz. 

Now for a little Summer Delight fun!!! Are you an October Afternoon fan? If you are, then you are going to love this RAK. For your chance to win this awesome kit of goodies, all you need to do is be a follower (if you are not already), and leave a comment. Easy peasy! 
I will draw a winner at the conclusion of the PaperHaus Summer Delight Blog Hop, so make sure you check back to find out who the lucky recipient is!

Happy Hopping! xxx

Purple Pumpkin June Sketch Challenge...

The new June Sketch is now live on the Purple Pumpkin blog. Don't forget to hop on over and check out all the inspiration from the other team members.

 Purple Pumpkin June sketch designed by Debbie Burns.

"TOO SWEET"
Here's my take on the June sketch. I have stayed fairly true to the sketch, but I have added a few extra elements to make it my own. I have sprayed the crocheted doilies with Heidi Swapp's Colour Shine sprays, and I have added stamping and PP washi tape to my background. I have also included lots of other Purple Pumpkin products - felt and lace flowers, kraft tags, felt and button star and heart embellishments, flair button, fabric button, twine, and resin rose. 
Products Used: Basic Grey papers; Prima rhinestone flourish; Kaisercraft stamps; Crafter's Workshop mask; texture paste; Glimmermist; and Heidi Swapp Colour Shine sprays.
Happy scrapping, xxx

Scrap Around The World June Challenge...

My apologies for these blog posts being so late, but I have been away visiting my mother. So, without further ado, lets get started...

The new sketch and mood board is live at Scrap Around The World.

So what do you think of all the retro images and soft pastel colours? Aren't they beautiful. 

"A MOMENT IN TIME..."

Here's my take on the sketch and mood board. I have taken my inspiration from the second photo (rose, camera, and colours), and from the book images (I have used written script on various parts of my layout). And as an added touch, I have included paper with mini images of cameras, as part of my background. 

Products Used:

Amy Tan papers; American Crafts papers; Purple Pumpkin embellishments (tags, twine, material buttons, flair buttons, and crocheted doily); Prima flowers.

Did you check out the winners from the SATW May Challenge? Aren't they awesome!

Now, who's going to join us this month? There are some awesome prizes up for grabs!!!

Happy scrapping,

Cheers xxx
