Playing with Paper

Since making my mini heart bunting and looking at such inspiring images around blogland (in particular, ones from Jooles @ Sew Sweet Violet) I have been playing about with pretty papers, scissors, stripey twine and glue...

to create....

sweet pink floral gingham and green stripe paper bunting to decorate my kitchen shelf. 

This bunting was so quick to make and I used a tutorial from this gorgeous blog A Sort of Fairytale.

I'm really loving working with paper at the moment and I know some of you are too in various ways.  I like it as it's fairly quick for create something lovely so whilst browsing amazon today I came across a book by Clare Youngs called Papercrafting In No Time. Some of the projects in this book look gorgeous!  Can anyone recommend or recommend a papercrafting book?  Some of the projects in this book look gorgeous!

Can anyone recommend or recommend a papercrafting book? 

Also, it was my parent's wedding anniversary yesterday (32years) and I decided to make their gift this year. They both LOVE Cornwall so I created this vintage scrabble picture 'Cornish Love' for them. Mum was really chuffed with it :)

I sell these on Etsy so please feel free to take a look - some pre-made and others personalised made to order.
Well I hope you're all having a lovely week and hello to my new followers......
