Entry for Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #126

Hello Everyone!

I am so happy that it is finally starting to warm up here in New Hampshire. I think my dogs are very happy too. The other day as I was huddling in my blankets surfing the internet I stumbled upon a new blog to read. Freshly Made Sketches has a variety of fun challenges and sketches to spare my imagination.

What is Second Chance with Saving Grace?

"SCwSG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Paul and Dr. Diane Dike in 2007 with a desire to help others and make their dreams come true. After rescuing Gracie, an injured and homeless Italian Greyhound, Diane trained her to become her service dog. Gracie helps her overcome and more safely live with cryoglobulinemia vasculitis, a life-threatening blood disease. Diane shares their incredible story at events, on radio and TV, and in magazines, blogs, newspapers and other media to raise awareness for the many ways SCwSG helps hurting people and animals."  To read more go to http://www.dianedike.org/

My Love for Graphic 45 Paper!

Good Evening Everyone!

So I started teaching classes at Stampin' Memories in the Belknap Mall in Belmont NH. They are the only place in New Hampshire that I have been able to find Graphic 45 paper. I love this paper! I find that it's weight is great for all my projects and it's double sided. Which means I have pages that coordinate.

On December 3rd, I will be teaching a class about envelope books called Vintage Christmas Brag Book. The project I designed is using papers from the Christmas Emporium and Le Cirque collections by Graphic 45.

Please visit Stampin' Memories' Website at www.nhstampinmemories.com and Graphic 45's website at  http://www.g45papers.com for more information on classes and products. Graphic 45 products are also available through my store. 

Below are pictures of the paper I used.
