PURPLE



Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

According to surveys, almost 75 percent of pre-adolescent children prefer purple to all other colors. Purple is a very rare color in nature; some people consider it to be artificial.

Light purple is a good choice for a feminine design. You can use bright purple when promoting children's products.

Light purple evokes romantic and nostalgic feelings.
Dark purple evokes gloom and sad feelings. It can cause frustration.

i actually thought i used purple more!?
i really like purple, i am surrounded by it all the time,
its Aymie's favourite colour..
these 3 layouts are all i could find using purple..
craziness.





hmmm...
now to decide what colour comes next.
later,
Jen

Cards

One of my favourite things to do with my scrappy supplies is to make greeting cards. I've been doing it for years now and the recipients seem to love getting a homemade card.

Here are two cards that I made with the MSS May kit:





(I find with birthday cards, it's fun to use some of the numbers from my thickers stash.)

Thanks for looking!
