PURPLE PASSION . . .

Hello my friends and Happy Monday!
Can you believe it is JULY 1st already??
I'm telling you ... I'd better get my Christmas List started ...
at this pace, it will be here long before I am ready!  LOL!

Today's challenge over at Squigglefly is called PURPLE PASSION and I'm loving it!  If you know me at all, you know that PURPLE is my FAVORITE color so I really had a fun time coloring for my creation today!  The image I chose to create with today is called FLOWER CAKE and the artist is Pamela Lehto.  You can find it HERE.


I am SO HAPPY that my camera picked up all the different PURPLE hues and didn't turn them all BLUE!  I know it's a camera setting issue but I haven't figured it out yet!  SO, keep in mind, that BLUE flower you see in the front on the cake ... is ACTUALLY PURPLE!!  A DARK PURPLE ... but purple none the less!!

This turned out to be a great way to use up my SCRAPS of purple design paper that I have in my stash too.  So many different shades of purple and I love them all!

Here are a few challenges to share this creation with:
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes

I hope you'll come join in our PURPLE PASSION fun at Squigglefly!  And if your mojo is running low, pop on over and check out the fabulous inspiration samples the team has created for you!!  See you there!

I will be back shortly with a second posting for today ... the July Link Party & DT Challenge for Crafty Secrets.  Hope you'll come back again and check it out!

As always . . .
