Judith has designed a series called "Little Bouquets" 
which is being printed in ParchmentCraft magazine.
This is September's bouquet.

I really love Judith's designs.
They are clean and fresh and she gives brilliant instructions how to colour.

craft light?

Do any of you use a craft light and if so would you let me know which one please?

I have to put my Parchment away every year for the dark months and I would really rather not!
I need a light that doesn't produce too much heat as heat makes the parchment curl.

Thanks if you can help xx

p.s. putting this on both my blogs so don't reply twice lol ;-)

This pattern was for a challenge in PCM.
I didn't enter as I'm sure it wasn't good enough; but I was pleased with how it came out.

made up my own border
mounted with brads onto pink card

Thanks for looking and for any comments; always appreciated xx
