Quick & Easy Planner

23 Feb

At CHA, I attended an exciting networking event hosted by Prime Publishing. It was open to craft and DIY bloggers with kind of a speed dating format. Craft manufacturer sponsors were available to chat with, hear about their newest products and see how you might partner with them for work opportunities. When I got back from CHA, I received a giant box of products from the sponsors of the event. I was so happy that Sizzix, one of the sponsors of the event, included my Kitchen Labels set! And I got one! 🙂 All of the attendees of the event received similar products. So now Prime Publishing is putting on the Best Blogger of 2015- a contest to see who was the most creative in using the products they received. in their box!

I created a Quick & Easy Planner using my Sizzix Mini-Album die. I am going to use this to plan projects for the blog, sketch out new dies, make class supply lists and keep track of deadlines. It’s easy to add more pages or switch the order if necessary. There’s no reason why you can’t have a little fun making things pretty and get some work done at the same time, right?

I had the nicest email a couple of weeks ago!

Hi, Eileen: My name is Guadalupe Martinez. I have quite a few of the scoreboard dies which I love. I guess I share your love of 3-D. Anyway, I just purchased the vintage oven die. I am over the moon with this die. I have created 3 ovens with it already … but I would love to show you what else (other than the stove) I have just done using that die.

Recipe Card Box

19 Feb

If you have come from the Sizzix blog, welcome!

I posted a Sizzix Tip video of a project I created to show how to cover matboard with paper. It is a really quick and easy technique! Head over to my You Tube channel to see how… and while you are there, please subscribe!

Here’s the Recipe Card Box box I covered with paper…

…and here is my adorable grandson Hunter who just turned one. His photo just fits on the Recipe Card. The Recipe Card Box can hold 10-12 matboard cards in the box- lots more if you die cut them from paper.

I have been having so much fun with these 3″ x 4″ Recipe Cards. What I do is cut a stack and doodle different designs on them while sitting and watching TV with my husband. This particular batch is die cut from black mat board and doodled on with a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen. There is something about the thickness of the cards that really appeals to me. They also make a nice noise when you stack and shuffle them. Ahh, the simple pleasures…

So now you know now how to make the box… and the cards are super- easy too. Just make simple repeating patterns and space them out equally… and that is it!

For more info about this project, head over to the Sizzix blog… Thanks for stopping by!
