Not just papercraft....

I thought I would like a little review of the other "crafty" successes I have had over the last year. I love anything creative and relish any opportunity to try something new.

My fiance and I got out first home together last month and I have been spurred on to be more involved with cooking and baking. We have bought some new recipe books and I have really enjoyed cooking and learning new skills. For his birthday I made a chocolate brownie cheesecake with vanilla topping and it went down a storm!

This year we bought our own Christmas decorations together and I made my own wreath. It took us ages to get it to stay up on our front door! We discovered command hooks and have not looked back since!

And last but not least, the Christmas sleighs which I blogged about not all that long ago. 

I love it when a good idea comes together!

Crafty Christmas fun!

Last Christmas I saw some cute Christmas sleighs made entirely out of sweets and thought they looked amazing! I have no children in my family and did not have time to make 30 for the children at school so put it down as a "sometime in the future" craft.

However, this year I have inherited nieces through my engagement to Grant so thought I would make some to send up to them for Christmas and they loved them! They are 19, 13 and 10 so thought they'd be a bit too cool for them but they were a hit and I am delighted.

I can't remember where I bought my ribbon as it's been in my Christmas craft box for a few years now! Everything else I bought at the supermarket - candy canes, kitkats, mini kinder bars, mini mars bars, maoam sweets and Smarties characters to guide the sleigh. I love little projects, especially when they are a surprise for someone!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas xx

Christmas is starting early this year.

I have spent the last two evenings sitting in the middle of a crafty mess and using all of my new Christmas papers and embellishments and washi tapes - oh what fun I have had! All of these cards will be making their way to Upside Down Presents within the week and will be gracing their shelves along side some other wonderful products from local artists and crafters alike. Happy days :)

 SO ... if you are in the local area and you have a spare few minutes why not pop into the shop and have a little look at my cards and the other fun wares on sale. If you buy a Purrfect Papercraft card I'd love to get some feedback from you :)

Christmas Craft Fair!

I spent today over at Emmanuel College with my Mam running my Purrfect Papercraft stall. It was nice spending the day with my Mam and I got loads of sales. 2 of the girls from teacher training came over with family and friends especially to see me, I felt so honored!

I've been waiting ages for this stall ( I was actually very lucky to get a stall, it's such a popular fair) and it was really worth the wait. We took it in turns to go around and look at the other stalls, there was loads of great things for sale and lucky for me there weren't many other stalls with cards. It was a great day x

It's Disney time!!

Ages ago I bought some decoupage sets on ebay that were Disney themed. I thought they were die-cut, but when they arrived they had to be cut out! At first I was a bit put off, but once I started I couldn't stop! So, after what seemed like hours and days of cutting and layering with foam pads I had a few characters all ready to put onto cards.

I raided my paper stash looking for colourful papers to match and put them all together and I have to say, I totally fell in love with them! Everyone loves Disney =D Because of the amount of work that goes into each card I am selling these for £2 each. What do you think?






The Peter Pan crocodile was one of my first cards to sell at the Cluny Craft fair. Tick tock tick tock ...
