Welcome to September! As you know, a new month means a new theme and this month we are going to celebrate the great outdoors in all its varied facets. From your backyard garden to the wilds, we are going to see it all! Eileen Hull’s dies are perfectly versatile “blank canvases” that you can adapt to any theme. Journals galore, gift containers, organizers, treat boxes – if you can imagine it, one of Eileen’s Sizzix dies can most likely help you to make it! I am really looking forward to seeing what nature inspired projects the Inspiration and Educator Teams dream up for September. Let’s get started now with three fabulous creations from the Inspiration Team…

Last month Pam Bray shared some beautiful inner pages from a junk journal she is working on and now she can show us the gorgeous matching Pocket Notebook cover! The colors and flowers make me think of a garden party. Find all the details on Pam’s blog.

Designer Julia Aston really got into the spirit of celebrating the great outdoors by creating a whole campsite! This marvelous scene has it all, a trailer, campfire, flora, fauna and a river that runs through it all. Wow! She cleverly used the Gift Box Die to create the backdrop. Julia has a tutorial and a ton of detail photos in her blog post so do not miss out on seeing that.

Another stunning journal from Karen Bearse is up next! We can be very grateful that Karen created this Pocket Notebook gratitude journal for her daughter and is sharing it with us (along with a fab tutorial full of mixed media techniques). Head on over to her blog to find out how you can make your own.

Next week will continue our celebration of the great outdoors!

Thanks for stopping by to pay a visit! All month long we will be featuring creations from the Teams. We hope you will join us and be inspired to create your own works of art.
