Design Team Call!

Did you know Purple Pumpkin is having a design team call?

Here are the details: 

We are looking for new Design Team Members!

It's that time again - time for our next DESIGN TEAM CALL!

Our current design team have done a fabulous job, and have created some beautiful projects. We think you'll agree that they have been AMAZING!! We'll be sad to see some of our fabulous designers go, but at the same time we're excited to see who'll apply to be part of our next Design Team!

We are looking for scrapbookers who love to do 'Project Life' style scrapping, and can incorporate our products into their pocket pages. We are also looking for a traditional scrapper who is also able to create sketches!

Do you love scrapbooking? Do you love blogging? Do you love PURPLE PUMPKIN EMBELLISHMENTS? If you answered YES, then we'd love to hear from you!

Here's what you need to do...

Email the following to sales@purplepumpkincrafts.com.au

* A brief paragraph about yourself, including your name and address, details of any design teams you are on (or have previously been on) and a link to your blog if you have one.

* 3 of your favourite layouts (if you are a sketch designer, please include a sketch that you have designed as well)

**If you haven't had a chance to use Purple Pumpkin embellishments before, you can still apply. Make sure you check out our shop HERE to see what sort of products we offer**

Design team members will be appointed for a period of 6 months, and in that time you will receive PLENTY OF PRODUCT to work with as well as a DT Discount on all purchases during your DT term. As a design team member you will be required to

* Incorporate Purple Pumpkin embellishments on your projects where ever you can, and promote them on your blog/facebook page etc.

* You will also be required to write 3-4 blog posts per month on the PP blog to showcase your work.

* Promote sales/giveaways etc.

* Provide a sample layout for our Monthly Sketch Challenge, and visit and comment on linked entries. (If you are a Project Life scrapper, you could use the sketch on a mini layout for PL pages.)

This Design Team Call is open to anyone, anywhere - International applicants are welcome to apply.

Entries must be in by Friday 29th November, with the new Design Team being announced on the 1st of December.

Also here are some of the AMAZING new chipboard at Purple Pumpkin!! How GORGEOUS are they!!

I really hope you will try out for the dt!!

CSI case file #99 - You are my world gorgeous boy

Helooooooo there :)

How are you all going?

I have had a crazy fortnight, and haven't had much time for scrapping :( 

My wee shop Rainbows & Whimsy has been super busy with the Christmas rush and some exciting new wholesale orders! The orders have finally calmed down and I am now re-emerging my self back into the "real" world hehehe

Anyhoo today I have CSI case file #99 to share with you!

I love how the different colour combos of the case files force me to go through my stash and use things I normally wouldn't.....I think I'm making a dent (albeit a small one) in my stash!

Here is the AWESOME case file (LOVE the colours on this one):

Here is what I came up with:

Layers (Love my Purple Pumpkin goodies):

CSI Case File # 98 - Quiet Time

Heya Lovely Ladies :)

Today I have CSI case file # 98 to share with you!

Wow what a challenge this case file was. Mostly because I only had one, yes ONE, piece of purple patterned paper in my whole stash! Thank goodness for my purple pumpkin goodies, they are so great for adding pops of colour to my layouts! I thought I would really not like scrapping with purple, but I totally did :) Once again I've gone way out of my comfort zone and found I really quite enjoyed it! 

So here is the FAB case file:

Lulu the Owl - Canvas

Heya awesome bloggy readers!!!

Today I have a canvas to share with you. I LOVE painting, it is one of my most favourite things to do!

I haven't shared any paintings here for awhile, I'm not sure why? Anyhoo I thought I'd be brave and try and share more.

I was so very lucky to have been gifted Juliette Cranes "How to paint an owl" class. It has REALLY helped me one into a more freeing style of painting......really just using my fingers mostly and letting the art just flow :) You can find her class HERE (it's worth every penny). Her style is amazing, so organic and whimsical!

Anyhoo here is my first attempt at an owl:

Her name is Lulu.....she suits it don't you think?

Thank you so much for checking out my blog!

I hope you have a FABULOUS week :)

CSI Scrap 365 Case File #2 - I heart vintage books

Hey Hey Hey :)

I hope you are having a FANTASTIC weekend!

CSI had teamed up with Scrap365 magazine for some special case files! I have finally gotten around to playing along with one of them.

When I first saw the colour combo, I must admit, I really didn't think I could work with them. But once again I've realised getting out of my comfort zone results in lot's of scrappy fun AND I found out I really love working with those colours!!

So here is the awesome case file:

Here is what I came up with:

(I have scrapped about my love for vintage books)

Layers:

How lubbly jubbly is this Purple Pumpkin flair button? I have also used a cute felt flower as well.

CSI #93 - 3

Heya :)

Today I have CSI case file #93 to share with you.

I have also shared this over at the Purple Pumpkin blog as I've used lot's of lubbly jubbly pp goodies!

Here is the super fab case file:

Here is what I came up with:

My journalling is tucked into a clear pocket under the photo on a kraft tag. It reads: "We get asked all the time if we are going to have any more children, and we always say no. People think it's quite odd, but we are so very happy with our family of three. We are just so contented & just adore our little trio. We are able to do everything together & we wouldn't have it any other way!!".
