So Much Purple!

Hi scrappers! This week I used a picture from a few years back that was taken in Laguna Beach in California. Since the photo already had lots of purple tones, I extended that to my page and made a monochrome layout in my favorite color.

I started with some pretty swirly paper from the 49 and Market Color Swatch Lavender collection. I used a scrap of purple cardstock from the last page I made and cut a wide strip which I decorated with some flower stickers from the Happy Planner Pressed Florals Sticker Book. I layered some frames and laser cut elements, both by 49 and Market, and then made a heart-shaped shaker using a shaker kit and die cuts sets by Sizzix. I filled it with various glitters, including some that are actually unicorn-shaped! This was one of those products that I knew I had to have when I saw it but had no idea how I was going to use it. Filling a shaker with glittery unicorns is such a fun little detail!

I used a few chipboard shapes from the Stamperia Lavender collection and then finished off with a few enamel dots. I really love how all of the different shades and tones of purple come together with my photo.

This page was a scrap lift from the layout above from the Cherry on Top Birthday Bash contest. I knew I wanted to make a shaker in place of the big heart detail on the page. I arranged some butterflies to emulate the garland that the original layout had below the photo and instead of a tag on the right, I added a frame filled with embellishments.

This page was also made for the August Picture Yourself contest which challenged participants to make a page in at least 90% of our favorite color. My favorite color is, of course, purple, so I combined lots of shades and patterns to make a very purple page!

That’s all for the week! If you are a fellow paper crafter looking for a new challenge to play along in, check out the Taylor Swift themed one I host here! I will see you all soon!
