Handmade birthday present

It was my friend Karen's 50th birthday yesterday. She adores the jewellery I make (I don't know why hehe) and so I made her a necklace but I wanted to make her a little jewellery box to hold it. Making jewellery is my other love and I have been making it for a few years now but never thought of sharing it on my blog!

First of all I made her this card:





Recipe:
Paper and CS out of my scrap box
Prima Flowers (Esprit)
Brad & ribbon from stash
Sugar Nellie stamped image coloured in with Prismacolor pencils and Stickles added for some glitz
Martha Stewart Doily punch
Sentiment from my K&Co embellishment box
Vera Color Sky Blue & PrettyColor Green ink pads used to ink the edges
KI Memories cookie cutter stickers for the 50

This is the necklace that I made for her:





... and here is the little wooden box that I altered to hold her necklace:





I got to use my gorgeous new 'Scripture Essentials I' from Cornish Heritage Farms. Fab service! I just love these stamps as they feature some of my favourite verses.

... and here it is all packaged up and ready to go!



I gave it to her last night as we went out and helped her celebrate her 50th in style. We went to Bar Ha! Ha! and had yummy food and gorgeous cocktails. Surprisingly I feel so much better now ;o) LOL!

Karen absolutely loved it - *phew*!!!
