Purple Schlurple

I have had the most torrid time photographing this Layout, transparent overlays lead to glare and it took me ages to get a shot that did not have my reflection in! Its not a good or particularily true photo and thats such a shame because the colours in this lo are truly beautiful.

Like most scrappers I have an abject fear of scrapping with purples, I don't know what it is about that colour but it is a fact universally acknowledged that purple and scrapping do not mix. Imagine my delight when I saw that Cosmo Cricket were doing a purpley line (pixielicious - I WOULD NOT be buying that!) and my double delight when October Scrapagogo Kit featured that along with other purpley hues.

How surprised was I to actually open the kit and like most of the contents, not only that, but within 90 mins I had made a layout that I really really liked (my average time is 2.5hrs). I do have to say that this is a very expensive lo and I have used a lot of the embelishments and posh bits of paper, frugal this aint!
