    Clare, once again it's lovely! I was looking through your gallery and would love to learn how to make a zig zag mini album. Do you think you would be able to do a tutorial on how to make one, at least the basics? I can't tell if the pages are individual ones or one long one cut at angles.
    Oh by the way..my Chillingsworth Manor album turned out beautifully! Very easy to follow your tutorial! Next up for me will be the Grapic 45 ABC Primer album you made. Not the recent one in the box with the zig zag album.
    But I still want to learn to make a zig zag album. Getting the paper for the G45 ABC was almost impossible since it is just about GONE!!!!
    Thank you and have a lovely weekend.

    Morning Clare, WOW, this clock is stunning, just been to G45's Blog and seen the gorgeous projects, you are all so clever. Like Sieglinde above, I am going to try doing the Let's Make ABC Primer album, your tutorial on YouTube was fantastic, I could watch you all day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Clare, this is spectacular! The shape of this clock is so graceful. I love the see through window and all the distressing. One of the things I so appreciate about your work is the way you create your own embellishements. For those of us who don't have unlimited funds, it's very inspiring. I also love your You Tube channel.
