My 100th post!!!

I cannot believe it! This post right here is my 100th post on Purrfect Papercraft! That's 100 posts worth of updates and photos of cards I have made and other randomness that occurs and calls itself my life :) It is a lot and yet it doesn't seem like enough. I am always banging on about making more time to post but I just never get around to doing it, and it is such a shame because I really enjoy it, even though I am not really sure many people see it.

So, for this magical post I thought I would post some photos of cards I have made recently.

First up we have Mother's Day - a day to celebrate mothers everywhere for all of their hard work and commitment.

All of the cards above were orders. Most of the cards I make these days are for customers, it's rare that I sit down and spend a large amount of time just making cards for the sheer pleasure of it. Most of these cards contain decoupage elements and 3D foam pads - I was clearly going through a phase!

Next are a batch of recent birthday orders - again, all for customers and not for stock. 

Again, all of these cards were personalised orders and all made their way into expectant homes. I enjoy making cards for people, especially when I know who they are intended for as I can make them that extra bit more personal. 

I wish I had planned something special for my 100th post but I am greatly in need of an update haha! x

Mother's Day 2011

This year I had 4 orders for Mothers Day and they were all for family lol! My Dad and brother Philip asked for cards for my Mam, and my Mam asked for cards for my Grandma from her and from my brother and I. As I knew I was doing the fair on Mothers Day I made some extras to take with me incase there were any last minute purchasers. However, it seemed that everyone was organised this year, so they have been returned to my 'stash box' ready for next year.

Do you want to have a peek? Here you go ...

Orders / personal;

(I have a confession - I forgot to take photos of my brothers and Grandmas cards!)

For the Fair;

Update 5 - It's all about Mam!

I've just been having a browse through my blog and it would seem I managed to completely miss out Mother's Day!! I thought I'd missed Mam's birthday, but I had put two of her cards into seperate posts amongst other things.

So, I'll start with Mother's Dad and add the last birthday card on at the bottom =)

First up - my card! I love the colours in this card, and I fell in love with that embellishment when I first saw it. Perfect!

This next card was from my mam to my Grandma. This was around the time I was making cards using color themes, and my Grandma's cards were purple.

This card was for my Grandma from my brother and I. I thought it was very elegant and very suitable for a woman in her late 80s!

The last Mother's Day card I made was for a lady at work, who put in a last minute order for a card for her Mum. I'd just gotten my Mother's Day ribbon so I chose my colour scheme to compliment that.

And finally....

Here is the birthday card my dad ordered for my Mam. I bought the wooden letter tags for myself in the hope of using them in a scrapbook project, but they've sat in the drawer since! So I thought I'd get them out and use them and this is how they ended up.

I can't believe how late I am in posting these! Can't let that happen again!!

Happy people!

My Mam loved her Mother's Day cards and my Grandma loved hers too, so I am chuffed! My Mam has even put in her orders for all the birthday cards she wants to send this year! =D Here is the card I made for the best Mam ever!

I love the colours on this card! I made one in similar colours for my Dad but I haven't taken a photo of it yet!
