Creating Altered Art with Graphic 45

Happy Monday every one

Snow arrived as predicted on Friday here in the UK and caused havoc everywhere as usual, keeping lots of crafters away from the Hobbycraft show at the NEC.  It was lovely to see those of you who made it, came along to the Ali Craft stand, and joined in my make and take sessions.  I really enjoyed them all.

There's some wonderful ideas for French Country crafting over on the Graphic 45 blog today.  Click here to check out Susan Lui's French Country Altered Treasure Box and more pictures and step by step instructions on how to make my Altered photo frame pictured above.

  2. 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

IndigoBlu Tags  Happy Friday everyone If your a follower of mine you 'll know that I've been off work for a while following an op, but my life as a lady of leisure came to an end this week when I returned to the world of totally british beautiful fast fast cars and ones that go anywhere!!  I had a wonderful welcome back from my colleagues so thanks to everyone for making my first day as good as it was.  I thought I'd feel like the new girl, not able to remember anything, but just like riding a bike it all came flooding back :-) Now I feel like I've not been away lol!!!    I cant deny I'm not pleased its the weekend and I've got time to re charge my batteries before attempting another 5 days on the trot :-)  As I've just joined the IndigoBlu team official this week I thought I'd share a couple of tags with you made with stamps from the  Pomp and Pageantry and Grand Tour 1 plates and the ledger background which I really love.  Tag 1 IndigoBlu
