Today I thought it would be fun to do another color-related Ways to Use It Challenge. Purple is one of those colors that I loved when started stamping 6 years ago and has since fallen out of my favor. Purple is a hot color now in fashion and we're seeing that reflected in the paper crafting industry as well. I really wanted to push myself to use a little more purple and thought you might have fun with it as well. Whether you create a purple and orange last minute Halloween project, a purple birthday card or a purple gift project, I can't wait to see the gallery looking purplelicious today. I'm sure that's not a word but so what?! LOL So pull out your lavenders, plums, concords and wisterias and find some ways to use purple.
Please remember to put WT242 in your keywords section and post a link back here. Please link only newly uploaded projects for this challenge as we want to get you creating! Please feel free to upload as many NEW creations as you wish.
I also used to use a lot of purple about 5 to 6 yrs ago and have slowed down using purple. It's actually a very versatile color. Guess time to gather it all and make a card.
hello everyone!! wow! I was actually on the finishing stage of my card when this challenge was posted and I'm glad my card qualifies so perfectly with this!!
I just made my card last night for a friend to cheer her up today. My firend ordered a costume through a lady on EBAY but never arrived in the mail. I came up with a pattern for her and made it myself. Anyhow, to cheer her up I made a card.

Julia, purple isn't a color I run to either. In fact, that color of paper is my shortest stack! This was fun to do and I tried to keep it just purple(lavender) with white & off-white. I always await anxiously on Thurs. AMs for your challenge of the day! Thanks!

It's interesting to see how many people LOVE or well, don't Love purple. I am in the latter. I usually buy my CS in SU! families multi packs and the purple shades are allways the last I reach for so I have quite a bit of it today, lol. Have to go play with this challenge as it's good insentive to try annd form a friendship with purple. ;)
Bags of Purple
I need a gift bag, and since I finally managed to get some large envelopes in white rather than manilla, I made a bag-a-lope and tied it in with the purple challenge.
