Exciting news!

So, today I went to see my friend Gileng for lunch (a fellow creative head) and we talked about our jobs and what we want in the future and about life in general really. She is the wonder woman behind Purble Bell Designs and was in some ways the inspiration behind me setting up Purrfect Papercraft. I'd thought about doing it for a while but didn't think it would take off, then the next think I know Gileng is out there doing it and loving it!

Anyway, she held a fair in Christmas '09 and I was gutted i couldn't make it. She's arranged another one at the end of this month but I am at a wedding that day so can't make it again! She mentioned today that she's been thinking about hosting another Christmas fair this year and asked me if I would like to have a table! I was thrilled! She used to make cards but now makes jewelry, gifts, accessories, homewares and amazing cupcakes! (One of which she gave me today, yum yum!) She's so talented and it would be an honour to work beside her! She said I would be the only card maker there, which is exciting in itself!

Here are some photos from her fair last year ...

I knew I would have to start thinking about Christmas soon (and its not hard considering we skipped Summer this year and went straight to Autumn!) but now I will have to go into overdrive and work really hard to get lots done! Plan, plan, plan!!

Happy 60th!

One of my Mam's friends hits the big 6-0 this weekend and my Mam asked me to put together a card for her. So I thought up a design, then took all my papers and embellishments to Mam and showed her what I was thinking and asked her what colours she'd like. She's very particular (as I have mentioned before) so that was the easiest way! Anyway, here is the finished outcome;

I think it's rather snazzy!! What do you think?

New cards!!

Since it was a Bank holiday weekend and I had 3 days off work, I decided to make the most of my time off. I got some spring cleaning done, I had plenty r&r and I got cracking with some of my orders. I made 4 cards in total and everyone is highly satisfied so far! Here are some photos of my wares -

What do you think? I like how the two cricket cards complement each other. And the bottom card was my first attempt at decoupage! I haven to say it is something I will deffinately try again!
