I love the ABC Primer collection, especially the papers that just seem to scream "nostalgia." I have some old school photos to use with this and can't wait to get my hands on it.

I am so looking forward to your Christmas Emporium ...in fact I have already ordered the 8 x 8 pack from my LSS.
Posted by: Dianne Blencoe | July 20, 2011 at 05:44 PM
My new favorite is Christmas Emporium (But I'm going to have to pick up some of the Oz collection because this is my grandson's first year in high school band and they're doing a Wizard of Oz show).
Posted by: Linda Dillman | July 20, 2011 at 05:59 PM
Great projects, thanks for always inspiring me! I can't pick a favorite, I have to many and if I was a lucky winner I would be thrilled with anything G45! Thanks for the chances.

The ABC Primer paper is gorgeous -- and would be so cute for mini albums for my great-nieces' and nephews'.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I got to finally meet the ever-so-talented Sherry Cheever at CHA! What a a treat! We only had a couple of seconds until we had to go into different classes, but I was thrilled to see her.
What a catch G45 got with both these ladies.
