This one will be for general friendship cards and a wedding card for a close friend.

WELCOME TO THE JO-ZONE!

"Beautiful exotic paper in handy 6"x6" size pieces. Great for collage, rubber stamping, scrapbooking, iris folding, cardmaking, altered arts and more! "
To top it all off, the packs each had the most fantasticly sumptuous names!
Yummy! These papers are, for want of a better word, lusherly! But will they get used, or become part of my "look don't touch" craft stash museum? Will have to wait and see!
I feel privileged to be the recipient of her first artist trading card, and not only that, I know the time and thought that went into making (corners!!!) I had a sneaky feeling I was going to get a lickle summat, so I had made an ATC to give to my FDF's niece to say thanks muchly! Couldn't resist adding some beads and wire!
Ooh, crafty individuals backing paper and flutterbies :)
Oh... and the other day my pinky winky friendie shared with me the most gorgeous piccies of her doggy woggy, I just have to put one up on my blog to show the world how cute Matilda is! Her latest trick is "tummy rub" - all you have to do is call out those two words and she rolls on her back ready to have her tummy tickled! I want a doggy woggy!
Hands off my bag!!!
Exploring
How Much Longer
The Great Escape
Got my first new home ATC from a member of ATC Addicts R Us, Tea Time at Jo's... very clever idea, and a totally unexpected piece of mail :)
Anyone for a cuppa?
I had a card to finish off today as well, to send to Mumsy's work colleague's daughter who is very poorly in hospital at the moment. I hope she likes the card and that it will brighten her day, even if just for a few moments, when she opens it and reads our messages.
I used the bird stamp, as I hope over the coming weeks she will be able to fly away from the hospital and feel free again.
