Look What I bought

Good Morning All

My title is 'Look What I Bought' but it is rather, Look What John Bought Me.
After Liverpool won the Champions League, John was celebrating and he told me to buy what I wanted!!!!!
Well, I was watching Linda on Hochanda demonstrating her new plates so I got online and ordered them plus a couple of other things, as you do!!!!
So it was a set of 4 plates designed by Linda, a set of Pergamano Pencils and an embossing mat, that's all.


As parchment comes in either A4 or A5 size I always have lots of strips left over, as I tend to make 6x6 cards.
I either cut butterflies or dragonflies from them or punch out flowers.
As I now have lots of flowers and butterflies I thought I would use them in other ways so here is a card I made using a strip.
I just made a fancy border on both edges and used a flower plate and coloured prettily in pink.
Looks OK I think.

In our new Craft shop, they stock some amazing wools and they were displaying a cute,  really really soft Octopus.  Well I had to buy the pattern and a ball of the wool.
And here he is.
I shall make another one Hollie and I am giving this one to Tess.
They are coming over in August yippeeeeeeee.

    I like flowers on parchment paper. They look so gentle. And the octopus just awaits the little babies rinse with her
