[Themed Blog Series]

Currently running:
And as with my other themed series there's a Pinterest board running alongside this series - here - so ...

If you are currently planning any projects, blog posts, photographs, journal pages, layouts, cards, stories, cakes, cushions and more .., which you could see fitting in - somehow - with my theme of yellow / sunshine / yellow /happiness / positive thinking / yellow ... [have I mentioned yellow?]

Then:
  • If you get around to blogging them while the series is running [February 2012], and if you link to this series in the blog post or gallery where you've shared your project ...

 Purple Phase [ran throughout Autumn 2011]
[Scroll down for a full list of posts].
  • Do you find purple a difficult colour to use?
  • Would you go so far as to say it's your least favourite shade on the colour-spectrum? 
  • Or do you love everything from aubergine to plum and all things grape-shaded inbetween? 
No matter how you just answered I'm sure there'll be something in this blog series for you.
Throughout the Autumn months of 2011 I blogged purple-influenced posts to inspire you and maybe change your mind about this maligned shade!

Each new colour scheme post was accompanied by a colour palette for you to save and translate into your own crafting, clothing or home-styling ... or for absolutely anything at all!

  • There's a 'Purple Phase' Pinterest board on to which I pinned each colour-combination and appropriate inspiration I found online. 
  • I also pinned readers' 'Purple Phase' inspired blog posts and projects on the same board.
So I hope you'll browse through these posts for a re-think of what purple can contribute to your creative colour-mixing!
