I absolutely love organisation. Taking everything out of a drawer or wardrobe, getting rid of things I don't use and then putting it all back so it is neat and easy find everything. I also can't resist adding a label. Once you have received your label, please apply as soon as possible 1. Clean application area and allow to dry fully 2. Use credit card to rub over the label to ensure it is stuck to the transfer paper. 3. Carefully remove white backing paper ensuring the full label is stuck to the clear transfer paper. Vinyl may be difficult to get onto transfer paper so fold backing white paper on itself. (see video on my website) 4. Align label sticky side down on to your required surface. 5. Use credit card to rub over the label to ensure it adheres to the surface. 6. Slowly remove the clear transfer paper from the label. Not suitable for microwave or dishwasher use. Do not scrub or soak for a long time. Check out some example of some of our projects >>> https://www.purejoydesigns.co.uk/organisation-labels

Hey fellow parents and joy enthusiasts! Lauren here, your guide to turning family life into a spectacular adventure, with the help of a friend or two. Before I start, I want to make it clear I am not a parenting or educational expert. I am a mum of 2 navigating, mainly stumbling, my way through raising 2 trouble-makers. I am creating a continuing guide to keep our children engaged resulting in (hopefully) them staying out of too much mischief. Lets face it, they are going to find a way some how. At Pure Joy, we're not just about labels and designs; we're about crafting memories and creating moments that make family life a joyous ride. So I have set a page up as bit of fun and to share ideas with you. Just for Fun | Pure Joy Designs Just For Fun My passion for creating activities at home started when I had my first. It was spring of 2020, she was 18months old and covid happen!! How was I going to keep her busy during lockdown! (and me sane). We were always out and about before, so this was going to be a challenge. But it turned out to be a blessing. I am so grateful for the time we spent together and loved researching new activities to keep her entertained and help her develop new skills. When baby number 2 arrived in 2021, I continued to find things to do at home to keep them busy. The Joyful Chaos of Parenthood Buckle up, because a life of parenting is a non-stop rollercoaster! From the spontaneous giggles to the not-so-spontaneous messes, every day is a new chapter in our family saga. And you know what? We wouldn't have it any other way. Just to confirm again, I am by no means an expert on activities and outings, but I do believe that everyone has a piece of the puzzle to share and this will help others in creating memories and developing our little ones minds through play. Activities Galore I've become well versed at keeping the little ones entertained without losing my sanity (although I have lost that a few times along the way). Join me as we explore the wonderful world of activities that strike the perfect balance between fun and a touch of learning. After all, who said education can't be a joyous ride? The ideas that I will be sharing have been passed down my friends, family, social media and YOU! Whether it's DIY crafts that magically transform rainy afternoons or outdoor adventures that turn mundane weekends into unforgettable escapades, I'm here to share the inside scoop on how we keep those tiny hands busy and those curious minds buzzing. Trips and Travels Bristol may be my home base, but the world is our playground! Traveling with little ones is challenging but can be extremely rewards and build life long memories. From hidden gems in our local community to broader explorations that light up those little eyes, let's embark on a journey of family-friendly trips and destinations. Let's Connect!

You are engaged and ready to plan the best day of your life. But how do you make your wedding unique to you? Pure Joy is all about making it personal. The list is endless and can be extremely overwhelming. But I can help with lots of it! In a previous life, I was an Event Manager and Wedding Coordinator, where I could help make and see visions come to life. The wedding of your dreams is right at your fingertips and doesn't have a cost an arm and leg... It's a lot of organising, so where do you start? Ask yourself as many questions as you can to create an image of what you would like. I recommend visiting lots of places and creating a board on Pinterest and share your favourite post with me. Next on the list is to get the big things sorted. Things book up quickly (so give yourself enough time) especially venues, caterers, photographers/videographers, DJs/bands, wedding cake specialists, flowers, centrepieces, transport and wedding outfits. If you want a wedding dress made to measure, this may take 6 months or longer to arrive and then altered to fit. Don't forget booking the registrar and getting your wedding licence. There are also quirky extras like photo booths and sweet shops…. TIP: Get yourself wedding insurance! It can really help if something happens and details need to be changed due to illness, supplier bankruptcy etc. Here is where I can help... The finishing touches are what brings everything together. From invitations to wedding favours, table plans to envelope boxes, name places to kids packs. Each item can be unique to your style. At Pure Joy we offer a bespoke service catered to your needs and budget. We ask what it is you are looking for. We create ideas that meet your budget and theme. Whether it's as little as labels for baskets and pots for sweets, flip flops or toiletries in the loos or as big as creating 100 name places. Using different materials and colours can help create the vibe you are looking for. We use vinyl, wood, acrylic and 3D printed items Last year we created stickers and labels for a country chic wedding in Cornwall. The labels were printed on kraft paper and tied to jam jars with brown twine filled with local fudge. A custom sticker was then added with the bride and groom's names and date of their wedding. We continued the theme with kraft bags for children's activity packs on the dining tables. Each with a vinyl label of the child's name on the bag. Labels were also made for the table plan which was a map of Cornwall. In December we were honoured to be asked to create a number of items for a classic wedding. We used acrylic discs with gold text which really popped on the green napkin for table names. Again we created personalised stickers for favours but this time they were on top of a shot of tequila rose (which was yummy).* Our bride and groom were extremely into motorsport and as they meet through motorsport, they wanted this to be a part of their big day. It was fantastic to be able to add this theme into the wedding in a subtle and tasteful away. To match the acrylic name places, we added gold UK race tracks to acrylic stands from Hobbycraft. Each race track related to a different table. This just one example of how we can create personalised items that represent you and make your day unique.* But it didn't end there. We also continued the gold theme with labels for coat hangers for the bridal party's outfits. The bride also wanted to create a video she had seen on instagram, so we created labels for heart glasses which guests wore for a photo which was then collated into a video of 1sec photos. At Pure Joy Designs we do have standard items that can be purchased and personalised from our shop page. However it's impossible to show everything we can create when our products are so unique and completely custom to each wedding and couple. We love to hear about you and recommend researching different ideas that you like and sending over examples of what you have seen, so we can create the perfect little extras that represents your essence. And that's not all... We don't stop at only the wedding day but also the run up. In the past we have created labels for presents to ask the wedding party to be part of the big day and of course goodies for the hen do. You can't go wrong with a good sash. But I absolutely loved making these glasses for a bridal party. The beautiful champagne flutes are from Dunelm. The options are endless and not only do we have a range of wedding gifts available, we can also adapt other products for all your wedding needs. See below for inspiration on boxes for gift envelopes, wedding favours, wedding gifts, children activity packs and cake toppers. Everything can be changed for your wedding. *Wedding photo are from the wedding guys. For personalised wedding products, please contact us directly. You can also check out our wedding page for standard items.

Hi! My name is Lauren... During to lockdown 1, I became obsessed for organising my home. Netflix shows were an inspiration and I decided that I could create my own vinyl labels to organise my cupboards. I loved it so much in November 2020, I decided to share them with everyone. With young children at home, its the perfect way to be at home with them but also do something I love. I am originally from Rayleigh, Essex and moved to Bristol in 2012. I am married and we have two beautiful children. A 4 year old and 1 year old. I graduated from the University of Gloucestershire with a 2:1 in Event Management and International Hospitality I worked all over the UK in the Event Industry, but mainly in London and Bristol until I had my little girl. I now work part time at a local loneliness charity. I love to socialise with family and friends and meeting new people. Perhaps with a cocktail or 2. I love to travel and explore new places and make memories. We have now expanded with a laser cutter and 3D printer and loving every minute of it. If you want to know more, drop me a message.

Christmas is over and 2023 has arrived!! November and December is always a whirlwind for Pure Joy Designs. It is definitely our busiest time of year and 2022 was no exception. Only 2 months before the Christmas rush, I decided to expand my little business by investing in a laser cutter. It was a struggle to get set up and creating in time for the Christmas shopping but we did it! I am so in love with my new products and think they looked fantastic on the tree. The pet silhouette were extremely popular. I, of course created many of my products from last year's range. In particular the glitter glass baubles. Although I did experiment with new designs for these too. The Santa Cam baubles were my favourite and worked a treat getting the kids into the bath and into bed on time. Unfortunately I think I have over used the Santa Cam and will need to come up with something else now Christmas is over and the tree will be coming down soon. Having two young children (one aged 4 and the other 1) made Christmas so much more exciting this year, and my products were definitely inspired by them. Last year I made vinyl stickers for Christmas Eve boxes and this year I added to the Christmas Eve magic with the Santa board. I even went one step further and designed Santa boot stencils to create snowy Santa foot prints. Warning: this was very messy!! 2022 was also the first year they Pure Joy Design has a stall at a Christmas fairs. I absolutely loved getting out of HQ as meeting customers face to face. I will definitely be looking at local fairs this year. I went to a local Christmas fair at Cheswick Boston Tea Party in Bristol. It was very convenient as walking distance. This resulted in a lot more local order so I could avoid the Royal Mail postal strike delays. Pure Joy Designs would not be possible without the support of all my customers. Thank you so much. It's not just buying the products, but liking and sharing on social media that makes a huge difference. As a small business I do really appreciate it.
