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

Who's ready for an update?

Helloooooooo lovely readers! It is I, Katie, back from the depths of work and crafting and sparing time to blog at long last! I'm not really sure how to catch up, it's been such a long time. (Sorry little blog!) I think I will start from now and work backwards ...

So, the craft fair was a little quiet but I had a GREAT time!! My Mammy came with me (even though it was her special day!) and I was so grateful to have her there helping and supporting me. My Dad even came and gave us a suprise visit! I made a few sales and got loads of contacts and information for other fairs. It was fun being on the sellers side of the stall for a change and I am looking forward to all the upcoming markets =) I had a fab time with my Mam and she and my Dad have been so, SO encouraging, I'm such a lucky girl =)

I had cards, laminated bookmarks, little hand made notebooks and bags of Bunny Poop!!! (Chocolate raisins) They went down a storm actually I was chuffed!

The idea came from my bags of "Penguin Poop" I made for the Purple Bell Designs & Friends Christmas Fair. I made only 4 bags for that and they sold out pretty quick, so I decided to make 8 for the Cluny and panicked because I thought I'd maybe made too many, but I sold 6 and my Dad bought the last two, bless him!

I'd taken thursday and friday off work and locked myself away in the conservatory and crafted like a demon. I had my table up so I could work on that instead of on the floor like i usually do, and I brought my wicker baskets and card stand down so I could see how much I had and what I had to work on. It worked out really well. My Mam has said I can leave my stuff in the conservatory which is great, it will make it so much easier to get stuff done. I even have a little helper ....

So yeah, I think this is the beginning of great things for Purrfect Papercraft. I'm excited! =)

It's about time!

Iiiiiiiiiiit's Photodump time!!!!!

Hey everyone! So sorry I have been M.I.A as of late. I have been totally scooped up and carried away by life and my poor blog has been left a tad neglected. But never fear! I am BACK and am going to really try and keep a regular update going =)

So, without further ado, here is a collection of cards that I have made between my last post and this one. Here we go ...

This one is a New Home card that my parents ordered for their friends who recently moved away.

I made this for my brother when he got his first ever job!

One of the cards from my new collection.

One of two thank you cards I now have in my stash =)

This was ordered from a Church friend when her nephew turned one.

I put this one together for my boyfriend's birthday

I made this for my friend who lives in Canada!

And last but by no means least, a card my parents asked me to make for my Uncle.

I promise there is more to come, so watch this space! And by the way, just because I haven't been able to update my blog, that doesn't mean I haven't been able to keep taking peeks at yours!! =)
