necklace pink email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 25 october 2011 layout if you want to get ahead hi hi there seems to have been something of a flurry of purple activity going on in the last few days with people directing me to their purple posts thanks so much as we head rapidly toward november i still have plenty of purple posts and palettes to share try saying that fast three times to share along with two special guests so there s plenty to come but until then here s something with only the smallest hints of aubergine visible this was one of those pages which developed as i went along no grand overarching plan and set of supplies from the start nothing was set in stone nothing except that photo because let s face it a photograph of me wearing a hard hat was always going to find itself at the top of the to scrap list always but i didn t know how to scrap it or what story to tell stories i considered telling included i was wearing a hard hat because i was waiting to go down a drift mine at beamish it was approximately 30 years after i did the exact same thing as a child family lore tells that when i was there the first time i got the giggles when a man in front of me banged his hard hat on the low ceiling of the mine this is highly likely to be a true story as i did the same thing as an adult on a tour of a cave once when the man in front kept bashing his head like some sort of cartoon character clearly i find hard hats humorous i also remember being smug when i went down t mine as a child because i didn t have to stoop like everyone else as i was so small but instead of telling those tales a phrase my grandma used to say came to mind and seemed to fit perfectly i won t swear that i know exactly what it means but it fits and it tells a story of its own which is quite different to that of me laughing down a mine at the time i made this page i d just hit a bit of a dead end with something workwise but you can t win them all i know this and it gave me the perfect opportunity to use this sentiment stamp i bought months ago but had never stamped i couldn t wait for success so i went a head without it so the story i really wanted to tell using this photo on this page was the one about not relying on others to offer me success but seeking my own no matter how hard that feels at times and most importantly if you want to get a head by all means get a hat but you might as well make it a hard one because then despite the inevitable bumps to the head you can then carry on regardless if you ve had a dent to your armour lately i wish you luck in finding a hard hat that fits then we ll have you back down that drift mine making 5 year olds crease up with laughter in no time thanks for stopping by today julie x p

comments labels pretty paper partyy shimelle laine shimelle com scrapbooking online class giveaway winner email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 18 october 2011 purple phase purple with orange brown blue hi hi hi i always knew that those purple boots featured by my guest blogger sian fair in this post last week were going to be a hard act to follow so today s post contains the next best thing i could find purple shoes the shoes will be making an appearance in a moment but right now here s today s purple phase colour palette the colours are taken from a tunic style dress whose pattern i fell in love with the minute i spotted it and which i ve worn rather a lot this summer it s another example of how purple can often be easier to wear or use in scrapbooking etc when it s mixed with other colours as part of a print rather than as a solid block of colour that said i don t want to detract from how it contributes to the pattern or colour scheme just because it s mixed in with other shades doesn t mean it s hidden entirely take my dress for example i liked it because the bright yet cool spots of purple and blue were an interesting contrast against the neutral background and warm orange tobacco and brown shades that particular shade is what i think of as candy purple sort of an equivalent of candy pink if you see what i mean it s a lighter shade than full on purple but it s too bright to be lilac so yes it s a candy purple bright pastel and whatever it is i like it in fact when i bought the dress i already owned the vest i m wearing underneath which is a perfect match so i guess i ve liked that shade for a while at least it s also another one of those shades of purple which i find works really well with grey and you can expect several more grey with purple posts before the autumn s out as i ve realised it s one of my regular go to combinations anyway enough chat here s those purple shoes i promised what you can t tell from the photo is that they re a wedge heel which is covered with a kind of raffia which once again confirms that i really do have a things for purple with natural materials like string remember the card i shared a few weeks back and just to prove it is in fact me in these photos here s one with my head in it dress dorothy perkins vest h m leggings cardigan primark shoes new look don t forget to link me up to any of your new posts about your own purple phase a link back to here would be most welcome in there somewhere and i ll pin them to the pinterest board asap in case you re new here the purple phase pinterest board contains mostly other people s work and photographs along with all of the colour palettes of mine in addition to which i ve just created a purple phase flickr folder to house all of the palettes and projects i ve created especially for this series alongside everything from my entire flickr photostream which looked remotely purpley shaded and appropriate so if you re interested in more of my crafty projects in purple then that s a good place to find them now i ll be back soon with another purple post and if you missed it yesterday hop here for a chance to win a

time i shared an overheard with you which i ll do any minute now but you should know i m trying to eek them out and ration them because my back catalogue is getting smaller my campus overheards are becoming quite rare an endangered species i don t know what i ve been doing wrong lately but i either need to start hanging around in more lectures and cafes on campus or i need to clean out my ears i ll see if i can do both over the next few weeks until which time here s one i heard earlier scene i was crossing the campus on 19 02 10 to be precise yes i do keep such detailed records thanks for asking behind a group of students discussing the frosty icy weather when one of them shared this male student i slipped and nutted our front door now at this point in his tale you might be thinking something along the lines of ouch nasty sounds like a lucky escape i wonder if it left a bruise but really there s no need to fret about the possibility of brain damage for as he went on but it s one of the council doors not a solid oak one so i didn t mind that much you know that phrase where there s no sense there s no feeling yeah that julie posted by julie kirk at 22 28 7 comments labels overheard conversations university campus friends doors email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 12 october 2011 purple phase purple with teal coral black hello hello it s a rainy old day here and i m wearing all black and brown so i m going to indulge in a splash of colour with today s palette and the project i made with it i m hoping to show that it is possible to use lilac in a non twee non cute manner it is possible i swear all you need is orange or coral if you want to be fancy about it which i do the inspiration for this scheme came from the seagull illustration i cut from a 1970s children s book the colours from each of the additional items i added were all taken from him i inked the edges of the lilac basic grey backing paper to reflect the colours on the wings but this meant the image blended in too well and was lost so i added the spotted paper in a deeper punchier shade the striped strip helped tie in the purple and teal shades the 7gypsies word sticker and jillibean baker s twine picked out the yellow in the beak and the bunting stickers by lilyb designs picked out all of the shades i d used and that all important shade of coral came from his legs and i repeated this with a little scrap of crocheted trimming in the ideal shade i love it when i find just the right thing to match so maybe next time a lilac card project or outfit feels in danger of straying into too cute territory try breaking up the cool shades with a lively touch of coral just think seagull card what could possibly go wrong i ve got another outfit post on it s way using similar shades as today s palette so i ll see you then julie posted by julie kirk at 16 37 9 comments labels purple phase blog series autumn purple colour palette combinations
