Something New to try!

I was lucky enough to get some of these Sandits in the mail. I do Creative Paperclay work and also work with paper. I can tell you I am thoroughly impressed with the job these Sandits have done!

I have used them on paper and on Creative Paperclay and they have over exceeded my expectations!

The Sandits have two sides per stick and come in various grits.

They fit into small places and hard to reach areas.

If you ever have a chance to try them, no doubt you should!

You can check out Sandits facebook page HERE

 See the star on this card? I place the paper over the chipboard and had to try and get it as close to the chipboard to make it look clean. I cut as close to the chipboard as I could and then I used the Sandits to get it to look like it was made with the paper on it.

 On this small vase I used the Sandits to get into the small, curved areas. It was great to be able
to get into those hard to reach areas and have a nice clean finish.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you get the chance to try these! They are awesome!

It's A Baby Shower!

Welcome Leo!

Anna-Karin is a very special member of the Eileen Hull Inspiration Team. Last year there were a lot of changes in her life, including a move from one continent to another and just a few months later, a new baby! Leo arrived weeks ahead of schedule (and just 20 minutes after reaching the hospital!) but thankfully he and Anna-Karin are both doing well. 

We want to show Anna-Karin how special she is to us, so we are giving her a virtual baby shower today to celebrate Leo's birth! Even though we can't be with her, we send our love and a special crafty surprise. We invite you to visit each team member/shower guest's blog to see what they created for this new little guy. 

If you have a message for Anna-Karin, please visit  Eileen's blog  to leave your well wishes in the comments- then she can read them all at once. Thanks for being part of our celebration!

I didn't have any little boy stamps....so I put my drawing cap on and went to work drawing a romper made just for Leo! I then colored it with colored pencils, I now had my image for my card! Has his name on it and a tag with love. 

I used Eileen's NEW Passport Book die to make Leo a little photo album.

 I added a flip page with his name 

 Some inserts

 Another flip page

 I hope she loves it as much as I loved making it!

Vintage Kitchen my Recipes

I seriously can't wait for these dies to come out!!!

They are so versatile.

My recipe for the Cocoa mug?

This one is a gift card holder                  This one is a mixed media painting 8 X 10 canvas

This next sample is from a class that I took while Eileen was on the Paper Trail! I had to see Scotty and Eileen in person! I could not let them just pass me by. Eileen came to Colorado and by gosh I was going to see her! And I am happy to say, I was able to meet her and visit Scotty! I drove 3 hours down the hill just to see her! It was worth every minute!

Now in all honesty, I did not finish this in class! I was to busy talking and helping others! I ended up staying all day!

So here is my take with the Sugar Bowl and Creamer Set! (As taught by Eileen)

Cream and Sugar~What's not to love about these darling dies? You could use them flat on a card!

 OR..................assemble them to add little packs of tea or sugar or whatever treat you can think of!

I just used the spoon for this card.....simple and cute!

I love this Recipe Box die! You can use in in so many ways!
I used mine to make mini journal pages.

This final die that I was lucky enough to play with, is really going to be fun! I have already seen some pretty amazing things created with this Cookie Box die! This is my take on it, I just thought it would be cute to put some trinkets in. 

Hold my rings on my night stand. It could be a candy holder. 

One of the designers made it into a vintage cat for Halloween! So CUTE!

See it HERE!

I am sure you are going to LOVE the VINTAGE KITCHEN line!

I know I WILL have some in my stash for sure!!!

 Thanks for stopping by!
