Purple on Friday

The last day of our purple week!

I like purple, and like when I do purple layouts, but I have very few. I have very little purple paper for some unknown reason, and always have to scrounge into the deep depths for purple cardstock scraps or patterned paper. I really have hardly any. Purple seems to have been a challenge for the other Simple girls too.

But today I have, shock and horror, a NEW layout for you, taken with my current favourite type of photos, 'Instagram'!

 

And here is an old 12 x 12 layout that I still haven't put a title on - only 3 years late. Planning, one day, to have a title in white thickers across bottom right hand corner of main photo. Call me lazy. 

This last layout is really really old, about 6 or 7 years, but I love this layout, as it uses 4 photo (one odd shaped) and the colour combo was Cathy Z inspired.  Would do a slightly brighter green if I were to do it again, but it's still one to look back on and be happy!

See you next week!

red and yellow and pink and green...PURPLE

I guess you've worked out the sequence of events around here by now?

my take on purple, in which I delved into the archives and found some purple pages from when the girls were little and oh so cute...look at those little chubby cheeks...awww.

love the simplicity of this design, although it doesn't allow room for saying much, but sometimes not much has to be said. Seeing this page reminds me of how that little one used to plonk herself in that bike and hope that her sister would come along and take her for a ride....and I love that paper. Think there might be bits of it in my scrap drawer still.

here is a bit more of it on the next purple page, with even more brevity of words :-) That cake was a true masterpiece from my kitchen, double iced and all. Flowers were from my garden. That plant has long since died. That kid is still a ratbag though, at two she was just hitting her straps.

Does looking at your old scrapbook pages, or even your photo albums, send you on a trip down memory lane? Funny how one photo strikes a memory chord, which leads one off on a tangent and one ends up in a completely different place than from where one started....

Purple Day 2

Stopping in very quickly to post this layout...meant to be at work right now! I rarely use purple so it was a challenge for me to find a page I'd done. I don't even seem to use it in small bits!

But I did find this layout, one I love and it does have a strip of dark purple as well as a circle with dark purple. So its as good as I can get! Sorry guys...can't wait to see how everyone else uses purple.

I'll count this for my green page that I missed last week as well!!!! LOL

Have a good day everyone.
