Journals Inspired by Nature

2 Sep

Welcome to September! As you know, a new month means a new theme here on the blog. This month we are taking a look at journals inspired by nature! Additionally, the Teams have been challenged to use dies that aren’t normally considered “journal dies”. Let’s see what inspiration they have for us this week!

First up we have Karen Bearse with her fabulous winter themed nature journal. She used the Mitten Die to create a gate fold cover that perfectly matches the theme of the mini album. The whole album is full of delightful details and mixed media goodness. Be sure to head on over to Karen’s blog post and see all the step out photos for this make!

Designer Pam Bray created a sweet nature themed desk set using the popular Vintage Truck Die. Flowers and butterflies combine to create a lovely shabby chic look! Pam also stocked her desk set with a matching notebook and other office supplies. What a cute addition to your office decor. Details can be found on Pam’s blog!

Lastly for this week is Lisa Hoel’s nature specimens box, Part 1. She created the main structure with the Treasure Box and Stacking Drawer Dies. Shabby chic nature is on display! A little mini journal inspired by nature resides inside the lid (to be revealed in Part 2!) Check out Lisa’s blog for details.

Summer and Sizzix with Eileen Hull Dies

23 Jun

It’s that time of year – temps are rising and you may be feeling footloose and fancy free. This month here on the blog we’ve been getting inspired by summer and Sizzix dies from Eileen. There has been something for everyone from the garden to the beach and traveling all in between! Let’s wrap up June with more summery makes to get your creative juices flowing…

Jennie Atkinson used to spend summers at the seashore in Suffolk and has many happy memories of those times. She created this lovely little memory box using Eileen’s Treasure Box Die and you can find out how to make one of your own on Jennie’s blog.

Educator Sarah Lizzie also created a project to commemorate summers at the seaside using Eileen’s Gift Box Die. She has a full tutorial video for you about how she made it so don’t miss that! You can find the link on her blog.

If you are a gardener, you will love this next idea from Sue Eldred! She has made good use of recycled ‘trash’ and Eileen’s Journal XL Die to make plant ID labels for your flowers. What a creative idea and you could easily make a bunch as a gift for the gardeners in your life. Visit her blog to see how she made them.

Madeline Arendt is happy that we can start traveling again and made this super cute Journal to document her summer journeys. It’s the perfect take-along! Be sure to visit her blog for the instructions and to see the handy features she has built into the interior.

More summer and Sizzix projects to share…

Designer Elizabeth Robinson has her computer working again (hurray!!) and was finally able to share her summer and Sizzix projects with us. It was certainly worth the wait for these clever makes! Elizabeth used Eileen’s Camper Die to make a boat and then an ice cream van! Whaaat? So creative Elizabeth, bravo. Definitely pay a visit to her blog to find out how she used the die to build these darling projects.
