Sharing some purpleness

Hi all

Just dropping by to share some of my recent Purple Cows creations using the fabulous 2 in 1 combo trimmer, the Freestyle mouse and the Hot and cold laminator! Both of these projects .... and in fact ALL the projects the cowgirls design can be seen over at the pasture and from there you can download the projects for FREE!!! So if you're looking for some creative inspiration pop on over and download those projects till your hearts content!!

Today I'd like to share this project with you


Birthday decorations (as seen on tv ... LOL)


The cake, cake stand is made from Bazzill cardstock and Cosmo Cricket DeLovely crafting kit using the 2 in 1 combo trimmer.


The bunting is made from Bazzill cardstock and Anna Griffin papers using the 2 in 1 combo trimmer and the Hot/cold laminator (and some flowers from my garden :))


and finally the laminated light holders are made from tissue paper, clear snaps glitter aswell as petaloo flowers using the hot/cold laminator like these here.

and my next project is my shakey page


Lots of alcohol ink and the Hot/cold laminator for this one aswell as the freestyle mouse kit.

The shakey bits inside and the seaweed and fish embellies are cut from the laminated alcohol ink sheets.

And that's it for today, a little bit of purpleness on this lovely sunny Friday. If you want to see more or are wondering where to get the tools I'll be on Create and Craft TV on Thursday the 9th of September at 8am (if that's too early check the schedule for the repeat shows :))

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're all well and happy and until soon Happy Crafting!
