It’s the 30th of June and I am here with the last Crescent Photo Mat Project! What an amazing month it has been…
We hope you have enjoyed the teams’ exploration of RENDR No Show Through paper and Photo Mat Art Boards from Crescent. I was blown away by the amazing and creative ways that the Inspiration Team used these products. If you haven’t seen them all yet, look here:
I had to get in on the fun too…
Here is a sneak peek of one of the classes I will be offering on Paper Trail 10 coming up in September/October!
The base of this project is the Crescent 11″ x 14″ Photo Mat Art Board and I added lots of mixed media techniques. In class you will get to play with new Sizzix Flower dies, ColorBox Blends Inks, stencils and the long awaited Twist & Style Tool.
If you would like me to stop in your local store for some classes, let your store owner know and have her contact me at eileen@eileenhull.com and we can have a chat. I will be traveling from Virginia to the Pacific Northwest and down through Texas on the way back.
Other things happening…
Every Tuesday night at 6 pm EST, we are meeting at Eileen Hull Designs on Facebook for the Paper Flower Party… and more! If you haven’t experienced a live event yet, you are in for some fun. Folks from all over the world are in the chat- we share ideas and I do a project or technique. It’s last for 30-40 minutes and then stays available on Facebook, so even if you miss it, you can hop in and watch and comment. There’s also a giveaway donated by Sizzix… Hope to see you there this week!

Hello everyone, all month-long the Inspiration Team has been showing you how to create with Crescent and Sizzix. The past few weeks we’ve seen creative ways to use Crescent Products like Photo Mat Art Boards and RENDR paper with Eileen Hull Sizzix dies.
