Purple Pumpkin day :)

Today has been a Purple Pumpkin day at my house :) I wanted to use some more of their gorgeous embellishments on my projects instead of hoarding them and found something for each planned project :) The third thing I made was the LO for the MME challenge in my other post this is the first a little mini book for a friend who is expecting soon;

The book contains 12 envelopes which are stick together to form 12 pockets and concertina style pages;

There is a card tag in each envelope and an envelope for each month so that my friend can record events and weight each month and the envelope is a large enough size that photo's can be stored inside also.

My second project was an altered frame for my daughter;

I used Echo Park This and That Graceful papers, stickers and chipboard and purple pumkin embellishments to make this. I love this gorgeous flower;

and you can just see the doily peeping out here and the lovely felt and lace flower at the bottom;

So I have made a (small) dent in my PP bag of yumminess and had a fun day creating , thanks for popping by as always I am very grateful for your visits and comments x

Memories

I have many happy memories of my Nan and Gramps, they were very involved as I was growing up and we saw them often. I was recently given this photo by my gorgeous Auntie HIlary of her with my Nan and Gramps at a family wedding in August 1986 and I used it in my entry into this month's My Mind's Eye challenge;

I used the beautiful MME Miss Caroline range with papers and gems's and some fussy cutting and layering of the butterflies :) I also used some little metal flowers from my stash and some gorgeous Purple Pumpkin embellieshments.

Creative Craft World March mini kit

I was sent this month's mini kit by Louise at Creative Craft World to make a DT project with. The kit is truly gorgeous with 4 pieces of 12x6 inches card and 6 sheets of 6x6 MME Be Amazing papers along with ribbons, brads, and other lovely embellishments galore;

I decided to finally alter the box from my iPhone 3GS which has now been upgraded for an iPhone 4s and so the box is not going to be needed and to make a mini book to go inside it. I started by decorating the box lid with some of the papers, ribbon and gems and a little bit of Tim Holtz ideology;

The mini book is going to be a note of all my Storytelling Sunday tales so that in years to come when my blog is gone my family will have a record of the stories I told:) As the year is only 3 months in I haven't completed writing in all my stories and so have also left the inside of the box undecorated so far so that I can ensure the book fits in nicely once completed first;

Here is the little book all bound with the twine from the kit;

A few of the pages;

So don't forget to head over the the Creative Craft World blog to see what the other DT members have done with the kit and joing in with the new mini challenge there is some great inspiration to see x
