Hi friends, Eileen here. I don’t know about you but I am finally serious about getting my studio cleaned up and organized – it feels so good to finally start! Thanks to all who have been posting their BEFORE and AFTER pics of your creative spaces for our Tidy Up 2025 Challenge in the Fan Club! Even just picking out a tiny space to work on is so satisfying, you may find yourself tackling larger areas – who knows!
It is so comforting to know that I are not alone and that others are struggling with the same issues as me! As you may recall, I started shoveling cleaning out the studio in order to be ready for my video on January 26. It all started with my friend Cara Brandon‘s invitation to join her and Dana K. White’s Declutter & Get Organized collaboration. Click HERE to see the calendar and links to all of the other crafters that are part of this event – so many good tips and ideas! Love seeing how everyone approaches organizing in a different way – but the important thing is for you to make your space work for you.
If you have been watching my lives, I have done several posts showing how to create a Bespoke (custom) journal. I need to use mine! So we will be finishing it up today on the live…
I am using the Journal die – you can find it HERE in my Etsy shop if you don’t have it already. Of course, if you don’t have that one, use one you have! Here are the links to this week’s videos – just click on the graphic and it will take you right to the event. In case you missed them, here are links to: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 …
On Thursday, it’s time for our monthly Realeather Crafting episode. We will be creating Cord Wraps for all those electronic charger cords and I’ll be sharing how to use the Snap Setter Kit – a very handy tool to have! Get your leather out and let’s make some Valentine gifts for family and friends!
Projects from the Inspiration Team…
This month the project theme for the Inspiration Team is “Friendship”. All of Eileen’s products are fair game for the designers to use. Take a moment to sort through your Eileen Hull stash and see what inspires you! Don’t let it distract you from your organizing though. (wink wink)
First up is Maggi Harding with a beautiful Valentine’s card! She used various Thinlits Die Sets (Floral Pocket & Paperclips, Tiled Alphanumeric and others) plus the gorgeous Floral Damask Embossing Folder. See the details on her blog and in the video.
Pam Bray created another cheerful card that is perfect to send to a friend! She used the Damask Embossing Folder, Fan Favorite Stamps, Plate & Pattern Stencil Set and the Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers Die Set. Check it out on her blog!
We have a final card for the week created by Sarah Lizzie. It’s a beautiful friendship card for a milestone birthday. She used the Tiled Alphanumeric and Wreath & Snowflake Die Sets to highlight the special day.
