Winter Birthday Layout {Berry 71 Bleu December Project} Purple Pumpkin/Manor House Creations






This month over at Berry71Bleu we have a White Winter/Christmas 
challenge going on, sponsored by the amazing Wycinanka of Poland!
Beautiful, high quality chipboard elements in intricate designs.
I just loved this chippie frame but wanted to use photos from
Cami's latest birthday so I used my craft knife to cut the cats
out of the frame to make it more versatile.
The requirement is to use a white base for your layout and also
to stick within either a Christmas or a Winter theme.  I chose
Winter as Cami has a Winter Birthday every June, our most
freezing time here in the Southern Hemisphere.
I just LOVE these woodgrain alphas from Jillybean Soup
& something was clearly up with my Martha Stewart 
punch but, before trying to sharpen it, I thought I would
go with this look as it was kinda grungy & distressed :)
I used Purple Pumpkin goodies too - the XL button & the brown
crochet trim that came with one of their Limited Edition Kits.
I randomly inked the chipboard frame using Burnt Sienna
and Dark Brown inks from Color Box.
That lovely HUGE flower is from Manor House Creations
& can be purchased from the Zeus & Zoe Etsy store HERE!
The punched butterfly & resin rose are also from
Purple Pumpkin & available HERE

I know it's a busy time of the year but there is a gorgeous
prize on offer as usual AND a Guest Designer offer to add
to your resume if you win, so I do hope that some of you
will be able to find the time to play along with the latest
challenge over at Berry 71 Bleu HERE.

Have a beautiful weekend everyone!!
