Saving Travel Memories Wrap Up!

27 Jul

This month we’ve been looking at ways of saving travel memories. Eileen Hull’s dies and stamps are perfect for documenting your vacations and travels! Her various journal dies are great for making little albums for a start. Of course, you can go beyond albums and make home decor pieces too and Eileen’s dies are also well suited for that. Let’s see what the designers have for us this week and wrap up the month!

Let’s kick off with a fabulous fishy (in a very good way) Folio journal created by Jenny Marples! The WOW factor is strong with this make! Apparently fellow teamie Elizabeth Robinson has a collection of gorgeous digital paper kits for sale and Jenny used one called ‘A Little Fishy‘ for her journal. You MUST visit Jenny’s blog to see allllllll the inside photos. Prepare to be amazed.

#EileenHull #eileenhulldesigns #sizzix #mymakingstory #TeamEileen — Seriously, how did I miss that Elizabeth has designed these wonderful digital kits?????

Designer Madeline Arendt created a useful little travel journal to keep in the car. You can keep track of travel info, receipts etc. in a stylish way. Madeline used the Pocket Notebook Die to make it fit perfectly in the glove box but any of Eileen’s journal dies can easily used to make your own road trip journal. Love it! The map on the cover is perfect. See all the details on Madeline’s blog.

For added inspiration, here are some throw-back saving travel memories projects:

Last summer, Lisa Hoel created two tag journals to document her family’s camping trips. She housed each journal in holders made using Eileen’s Camper and Truck Dies. What a fun idea! Pay her blog a visit to see inside the journals and for the tutorials.

Jennie Atkinson also has a fun project to share from last summer. She used Eileen’s Treasure Box Die and created a vintage feeling shadow box to commemorate her childhood visits to the seaside. There are so many wonderful details included! You can get a closer look in her blog post.

Nature Journals Made with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

8 Sep

Hello, we are back with more nature journals made using Eileen’s ever versatile Sizzix Dies. In addition, the Teams were challenged to use dies that aren’t normally thought of as “journal” dies. They have been getting really creative! Let’s take a look at what we have to inspire you this week…

Julia Aston used the Gift Card Folder Die to make a holder for a diminutive nature junk journal. What a clever idea! The die is made for holding gift cards but I think it’s also perfect to hold a mini book. Julia also used some of Eileen’s new rubber stamps (Vintage Damask Stamp) in the decoration of the box. Check out her blog for all the how-to and detail photos.

Designer Lisa Hoel is back with Part 2 of her Treasure Box nature journal ensemble. (See Part 1 here.) Last week she showed how the box was constructed and this week we get a look at the mini journal that fits into the lid. She used #allthestamps for the interior pages! See all the details in her blog post.

Maggi Harding used the Folio Journal Die for her project. “But wait,” you say, “that’s an ‘official’ journal die.” But I say that Maggi has a clever die hack to share with you on how to make it into a tag journal. Stay tuned for her Facebook Live! In the meantime, head on over to her blog to peruse all the lovely detail photos of the insides.

Visit next week to see more nature journals inspiration!

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.
