Folksy Friday: Paper crafts

I don't know about anyone else but this year i am skint. Christmas has been planned and budgeted carefully and all the presents made to save money, the one thing i do have is time at home so making made sense. When it came to decoration i wanted something new but on a budget. The old red and gold did not go with my new fresh pinks and greens colour scheme in the living room so some new stuff was required (see prev posts!) In addition to some baubles etc etc i found a link to this paper snowflake tutorial on the folksy forum and had a go 

Rather good i thought!! (sorry hall gets no natural light!!) 

I thought i would have a look at what sort of paper offerings there are in lovely Folksy land.
