My Favorite Eileen Hull's 2022 Projects

 It's a Wonderful World to be a part of Eileen's Hull's Inspiration Team!

We were asked to share 3 of our favorite Eileen Hull's 2022 projects we created.

Of course, I had to share my favorite phone stand project!!!!

It says it all "IT'S A WONDERFUL WORLD"!

My second favorite project is the Springtime Mixed Media Egg I created using Eileen's Mandala Embossing Folder along with the Mandala Die and Shadowbox Die. 

Moments in Time Big Book, oh my!

So many details but so in love with this book!!!

It is my #3 favorite project for 2022!!!

As you can see, I love creating from simple to complex, but the most important thing is that Eileen's dies and stamps make everything super easy. 

If you click on the photo, it will take you to the blog post for all those details and tutorials.

Merry Christmas Phone Stand Memo Center

I created a Comfort and Joy Christmas and Memo Station to share!

I don't know about you, but the holiday season is so hectic.

Doctors' appointments, school events, shopping and so much more! 

I find I am a bit more organized if I have a memo book to have near my phone. 

Using Eileen's Notebook Die to create my memo pad along with some fun Christmas paper I created a small memo book. 

Photo 1. Remove the spiral from a small notebook. 

Photo 2: Cut about 3/4" from the top of each page. Clap together and glue at the top of the pages. 

Photo 3: Die cut Passport Notebook Die using Matboard, adhere pattern paper to pieces. (Instead of having a sided bind; cut the bind down to fit the width of the top of notebook page cuts; adhere together to have a top flipping book.) Add prepared notebook to inside. 

Photo 4: Add Ephemera piece to front of notebook. 

Decorate front of prepared notebook with Ephemera. 

Die cut phone stand using Sizzix Mat Board. 

Add decorative paper. (HINT: Decorate with a neutral type of theme paper so you can remake the notebook and have it through each season.)

Add jute. 

Add small Ephemera. 

Remember to decorate the back. 

I hope you are inspired to get your Sizzix Phone Stand and Passport Notebook Dies to create yourself a Christmas Phone Stand/Memo Station. Enjoy Pam
