Guest Design Team Spot at Purple Pumpkin

Good morning!

Sam over at Purple Pumpkin is currently looking for 2 people to guest design over at Purple Pumpkin. As I absolutely LOVE her stuff and I have quite the little stash of her goodies, I thought why not give it a go! All I had to do was post a layout of my favourite page- EASY PEASY! So with some consultation of a few friends I actually picked out my page that I did for PP July Sketch..Here it is again

Such a delight



So why not give it a go!
Wish me Luck!

July Sketch at SFS

Hi Girls,

The challenge was to also use at least 3 different patterned papers, a handmade flower and some old alphas (I used some old black Making Memories ones that have been sitting in my stash for AGES!!)...So here it is

One Sunny Day






Head over at and have a look-see...you might win yourself a voucher to spend!

Rolled Roses

I recently asked the talented Krissy Christie how to make the rolled roses I had seen on her blog, and she did a tutorial for me- how lovely of her! So I gave them a go on a layout for my 52 week album.


I used some gorgeous Echo Park on this layout. So head on over to Krissie's blog if you would like to give these flowers a go.
