Vintage Travel CHA Release!

9 Jan

Finally, today I can share the latest collection the team and I have been working on! Vintage Travel was inspired by the three teaching trips I made in 2014 in my vintage camper (and you may see some resemblance to Scotty here!)…

Here are just a few of the sample designs that my amazing Inspiration Team created for me to bring and show the world at CHA. I want to thank them all for the beautiful samples that I will proudly display. You will be seeing more in the weeks to come but these dies will not be shipping until April. Booo! That’s the hardest part- to wait!

LIKE my Eileen Hull Designs Facebook page to see the latest happenings from CHA- I just got an iPhone 6 (courtesy of my son at Christmas!) and it’s a lot faster than my old one so I am hoping to post more pics and videos 🙂

This is just a taste of what the Inspiration Team has in store for you so pack your bags and head over to their blogs to see more of my upcoming collection Vintage Travel! My girls will be sharing new travel inspired projects with you all weekend long while I am here at CHA Show 2015!

Have a well traveled day!
