Jennie Atkinson raided her bin of leftover die cut parts to create her beautiful mixed media notes box. (Admit it, you have a stash of leftovers too don’t you? Mine are all stuffed in a drawer.) What a great project for using up all those little extra bits! See all the how-to on Jennie’s blog.

Creative Recipe – Words, Tags & Pockets with Eileen Hull

The creative recipe for March has been a fun mix of words, tags and pockets! Designers have been whipping up a delectable spread of projects for your inspiration and the fun isn’t stopping yet. Let’s see what we have for this week…

Lisa Hoel decided to make tags as the background for a card. She die cut one using the Tile Alphanumeric Die and embossed others with some of Eileen’s 3-D Embossing Folders. So much texture! Find the details on her blog post.

Use your words and show us what you’ve been coming up with! Let’s see what inspiring makes are in store for us this week…

The sentiments on cards are of course a great way to ‘use your words’. Designer Sue Eldred made some beautiful cards to share with us. It’s good to have a ready to go card stash!
