Three dimensional art... with heart
I can’t believe I am already more than halfway done with my marathon two month Paper Trail Tour around America! I am pulling Scotty, my vintage camper, and teaching craft classes using Sizzix dies designed by me and signature Clearsnap inks in retail stores and at events!
Follow the Paper Trail experience in real time by LIKING my Eileen Hull Designs Facebook page where I am posting the latest pics and events. [Read more…]
When Lisa Fulmer asked me to review her new book, I jumped at the chance! Lisa has been a friend for several years and is one of the most creative people I know. “Craft Your Stash” is a delight from cover to cover!
The book is broken down into several parts. The section on color theory was a great review. I loved Lisa’s tips on organizing, especially her idea to use a cupcake stand and mini-custard cups to hold small embellishments- so cute!
There are nineteen projects that you can make, including templates, detailed instructions and diagrams, or use the designs as inspiration or a jumping off point to create your own artwork. Everything you need to set the stage for a successful crafting adventure can be found in this book.
There is a great giveaway going on on The Craft Your Stash blog– head on over and leave a comment. Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway for a chance to win.
I have been traveling in my camper for the past three weeks throughout the country on the Paper Trail. I bring Lisa’s book with me every night into the hotel. Each time I look through I see something cool that I haven’t noticed before.
Check out the links below to see other reviews of the book:
I highly recommend that you click on this Amazon link right now and order it! This book may also be purchased in your local bookstore OR you can order a signed copy here. Wherever you get it, Craft Your Stash should be part of your crafty book collection.

There we got some last minute items for the next leg of the trip. Wednesday night was the Art Mundo Art Walk. [Read more…]
