FOR MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND JO.....

I made this card for one of my beautiful friends. Last week she sent me a parcel filled with 8 jars of Flower Soft, a DVD and some templates. I couldn't believe it when I opened it!!!!. I wanted to make Jo a special card to show her just how much she is appreciated.




















INGREDIENTS

WHITE & PURPLE LINEN CARD 
SENTIMENT STAMP BY PAPER MAKEUP
GORGEOUS EMBOSSING FOLDER FROM STAMPIN UP
FLOWERS, HAT PIN & SILVER METAL CORNERS FROM WILD ORCHID
STRING OF FAUX PEARLS FROM EBAY
CRUSHED PURPLE RIBBON FROM THE LITTLE BOUTIQUE ON ETSY

I would like to show you what an amazingly talented lady Jo is by sharing with you some of her work. This is an extract from Jo's blog;

"I have been sewing since a child and love to craft and create, mainly using fabrics (but I do like to dabble!).

I make my own patterns (often through trial and error!) and love to make my items using a mixture of modern and vintage fabrics, both new and recycled, which, I feel, compliment any shabby chic / country cottage interior.

Here are some examples of my creations: 


Jo sells her beautiful design's on EBAY & FOLKSY and you can find out more through Jo's blog "MILLIE AND ME" & through "MILLY AND ME" FACEBOOK. You can also email Jo on millyandme@googlemail.com. There are so many more designs so go check out the links above. Jo truly is an amazing lady and I have lots of her gorgeous makes here at home, I think I may be slightly addicted to her gorgeous designs!!!!. 



I would also like to say a big thank you for everyone's kind messages, texts and emails wishing me well. I am so lucky to have such a caring bunch of friends and you all keep me going when things get rough. 

Big hugs Clare xxxx

  7. Oh I had to comment on this post above them all...you have a little of everything! I would love to sit and craft with you! LOL All you have made is so lovely, really like your stuffed animals. I did Rabbits for awhile, and made beautiful dresses and hats for them. So much fun! Our stories are similar and if not for crafting, well, you know! You are a very talented lady. My best to you, Miss Clare.
