Well PP has been a little slow as I deal with working extra days and finishing up my Masters projects (which has really been my main focus the last few months)
But I have been creating
I’ve been making some crochet flowers and it took me a while to be happy with the size and shape. Normally I’m a knitter and making my own pattern for these flowers took a bit of effort but I am finally happy with them.
I will be putting these up for sale soon – I just need to make some more. So look out for the link coming soon

Here are my give away winners. I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to get to it – I’m sure you can appreciate how very busy I have been over the last couple of weeks
So if these girls could please email me with your snail mail address I will pop your give aways in the post ASAP!

Easy.

So, do I have any takers?

Well here we are with another new release. I had so much fun creating these little zoo animals!
You can leave them as plain chipboard or your could paint them or ink them. The many ways you could use these are endless.
How about on a birthday card? Or a layout about your children? Get creating…I want to see what you can do with them.

My DD just loves Panda’s So you all know which is her favourite

Crazy Critters!

And the Luna Patrol!
So there you have it I hope you enjoy these new releases as much as I enjoyed making them
You can purchase all these goodies from www.stuff2scraps.com.au and I have also sent a list over to Maria at the Scrapboxx. If she hasn’t got them up in the shop yet (try the pre-orders section) then perhaps drop her an email and she will be more than happy to get whatever you desire, in for you.

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited because it has just been revealed that Leeann Pearce is going to be designing for Stuff 2 Scraps (well I knew of course but it HAD to be a closely guarded secret until Leeann came out!) and she is OUT!
Its all official and the designs are up on Leeann’s blog “The paintbrush goes spottie” so go and have a look.
I’m so excited because Leeann is just super talented and I am excited for Leeann as well!

Welcome to the gang Leeann Its fabulous to have you aboard and I am really looking forward to getting my hands on your new designs and playing till my hearts content

While I’m blogging I thought I might pop up my latest Aussie Scrapjack layout as I have used a couple of the Stuff 2 Scraps chipboard embellies and I wanted to share

I have used one of my square journal-it’s and I have covered it with patterned paper. I have also used a Stuff 2 Scrap flower corner boarder.”

So pretty and fun to use! This month Aussie Scrapjack has Jacked the talented Janine Koczwara. So go and visit and have a go to win some prizes!

I also did this weeks challenge over at the Boxx and I used one of my large square journal-its. The weather was a bit dismal here so I’ll upload the full layout if I can get a better picture tomorrow – but for now here is a picture of my journal-it

So that’s my update and exciting news for today
For now stay safe and have fun.

What a totally awesome layout by the talented Bridgett Hatton
Love the Goth look Bridge
Bridgette has used one of my Journal-it square journaling blocks and given it a bit of a lift with some Glimmer mist.
You can find Bridgettes blog here… http://scrappinbridge.blogspot.com/ and I have also linked her in the contributors section on the right hand side of my links list.

I was lucky enough to meet Bridge in person recently at the Scrapboxx retreat. What a fabulous time we all had. I made some fabulous ‘new’ friends and met up with some old one (old as is known for a while not old as in age wise )

I have also used a few journal-it blocks recently on a couple of layouts and also on my name tag for the retreat

I actually attached my photo to this Journal-it after I had painted it with gesso and adding some doodling

In this layout I have used the rectangle Journal-it, covered it with patterned paper, cut about 1/3 off and attached that at the top and the other section to the side of my layout.
A tip for covering fiddly chipboard shapes with patterned paper is to actually trace around your shape first, onto your paper, then cut out with a nice sharp craft knife and glue this onto your chipboard. This is much easier than gluing you paper on first and then trying to trim it

Please feel free to email me with your layouts if you have used any of my chipboard designs. I would love to have you on the Pumpkin Pink blog

Watch this space as I am about to launch my new designs! (the girls from the Scrapboxx retreat have already had a sneak peak )

Here we are again with some more contributors layouts
This first layout is from Nikala O’Brien. Nikala is on the Scrapboxx design team and Februarys BOS had one of my Journal-its included. Nikala has covered the journal-it with patterned paper and then trimmed the top so that it could be placed under her photo Thanks for playing Nikala

The next two layouts are from the ever talented Miss Leeann Pearce – who I’d love to say *~*~congratulations*~*~
Leeann has a little bump that she is nurtering
