Spring Project Inspiration from Eileen Hull’s Creative Team

Spring project inspiration time! A new month means a new theme for the Creative Team so for March they are being inspired by SPRING! It’s time to create projects that celebrate the new season almost upon us. Any of Eileen’s past dies and products are fair game so let’s see what projects we have to share this week…

Sarah Lizzie used felt and Eileen’s Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set to create these darling egg ornaments for an Easter tree. Find the how-to and more photos of these cheerful makes on her blog.
