Pretty in pink




Hello all its been a while,but hay-ho things are sent to try us

Thought i would start my return to blog land with a little bit of parchment

A friend of mine has just become a Godfather so asked if i could whip him up some thing for the occasion .I am sure he will be over the moon with this

The booties are made from a pattern taken from a Japanese book and the card is a pattern by a parchment designer called Linda Williams
