Some Parchment

 Hello to you all.

It is a few years since I have done any parchment craft so I decided it
was about time I got going on it again.  I have used a Groovy Plate for the 
main image , I'm afraid my picot cutting around the edge leaves a lot to be 
desired but I am sure a bit more practice should improve it.

Imagination

 WOW

I am so sorry, I cannot believe it has been so long since I blogged.
For a while I just lost all interest in card making, and we have moved home. So
I have been busy sorting the new Bungalow out . I think unpacking all
of my craft stuff must have jogged me back into doing some
crafting, so I am sharing what I have been doing today.

I have had the PanPastels out along with some Inkylicious stamps and
Stampscape stamps
