    Morning Clare, Just been across to G45 Blog for your tutorial and to look at Susan's altered treasure box, both projects are absolutely gorgeous.
    I received my card from the C&C Show yesterday, thank you, Clare, it is gorgeous. I was over the moon when my email was read out, and when my name was picked out for a card of yours, I was 'ecstatic', my hubby was as 'proud as punch'. Thank you.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
