EXCELLENT!
I found Julie's approach to creating with craft punches truly inspiring.
Like many many other paper crafters I have acquired a large number of craft punches that just lay idle. I am full of good intentions when I buy them but somehow the minute they are added to my collection all my ideas just fly out the window!
Julie has inspired me to get them all out again and get punching!
A lovely book Julie and I am looking forward to your next one, (published by David & Charles in 2004 if I am correct).
