  Hi everyone, how's your week going so far? It's dull grey and raining here, again! If you follow me you'll know that over the past 11ish years I've been designing and making projects to share with crafters on line, in workshops and retreats.  Each one has been made with a lot of love and passion for my craft, and many of them still live with me in the house.  As you can imagine we're getting a little crowded here lol! So for a few months I'll be giving away one or maybe more project each month starting with this Picture Perfect Album altered in papers from the Imagine collection by Graphic 45.  You can see more of the project in the video below.        If you'd like to enter this months giveaway you can leave your comment below or hop over to my You Tube channel ( click here ) and leave a comment on the March 2020 Giveaway video.  All comments listed at midnight GMT 31st March 2020 will be entered into the draw. ...
