Good morning Everyone .. .. happy weekend!
A while back (even before my Mum was taken poorly) I was asked if I would like to do a commission for Issue 179 of Papercraft Inspirations .. .. using their cover gift .. .. and of course I jumped at the chance.
What a fabulous cover gift is was too.
As with all things magazine wise they work months in advance and although I worked on the commission .. .. what feels like a lifetime ago now .. .. the magazine is still in our local shops but I am guessing that Issue 180 won't be far off being released.
This is one of the projects I created for them and shows the inside and the outside of a bookfold style card:
I really enjoyed the commission and this is the fabby free Oriental inspired gift I used.
So that is me for today .. .. and now I am changing into wedding mode! Lots of card cutting, printing and ribbon tying to get through this weekend!
Who would have thought all those years ago that what started as a lovely little hobby would turn into a "real job".
Enjoy your weekend everyone.

I might just have to stray into a newsagent's magazine department to see if they have this one - what a lovely project and such pretty colours too. It is always good if the 'day job' is one you love doing especially if it has developed from a hobby.
Lovely orential cards Jules....

Wow Jules.....that’s a piece of art! Just absolutely fabulous. Love how you've used the stamps and the colours and detail are truly stunning! Sally-Ann xx
Wow, I just bought the magazine at the International Magazine Store in Antwerp, still have to read it, but your creation is absolutely wonderful ! And your beautiful creations are also the reason, that you are very busy with the "wedding job", but as long as you love to do it, keep on going ! Enny
Love the design Jules and the papers are gorgeous too. A brilliant card. I am in a similar position, as I fund raise for a local charity. I supply cards for an outlet and I make all my shabby chic homewares, including clocks and gifts and sell them at craft fayres. Next Saturday, I am up at 6am to go to a fayre and set up by 9.30!! But I do also meet up with lots of friends at the fayres. Happy Sunday, Hugs, Carol S.xx
Absolutely stunning Jules.

Wow Jules, this is a stunning book card! I love this magazine and wish we did something like this in the states. How fun to have a magazine with crafty goodies inside?! Jules, you are so talented and I can see why the magazine wanted to commission you! Hugs, Brenda
