Spring is in the Air with Eileen Hull Designs

 

Spring is in the air this month with Eileen Hull Designs and to celebrate the days getting a little warmer I've created a Mini Album using the gorgeous new papers from Katie Pertiet. The spine was cut using Eileen's Bookbinding and Label die which makes adding a spine to an album so much easier.

I cut the pages to 5 1/2" and rounded the corners to mirror the album cover.

The inside is decorated with a mixture of pockets, tags, ephemera, sari silk ribbon and inspirational quotes. There are extra layers of old dictionary pages and a few doodles of white Gelly Roll pen.

I left a few pages empty so that either photographs or journaling could be added.

Anything Goes This Month with Eileen Hull Designs

 

All through the month of February we have had an "Anything Goes"over at Eileen Hull Designs. I decided that I would use a Notebook that I'd already die cut and decorated using the Gel Press Plate with an assortment of colours. So inspired by Katie Perteit's new (and first) collection with Arden Creative Studio I finially completed the Notebook.

I decorated the front cover with a card cut from the papers and added some of the co-ordinating Laser Cuts and a few extra splashes of white Gesso to tie everything together. On the spine I stamped the word "Inspiration" from Eileen's Fan Favourite Stamp set, one of my most used sets at the moment.

The inside text block was created from an old book that I'd previously used the cover in a project, and have been using the pages in various journals. If you carefully trim down the spine and cut the block to the size you require it's a ready made insert. This was glued into the Notebook and the pages are now ready to decorate with stamps, die cuts or ephemera. I made a start with some cards cut from the paper pack, they are absolutely gorgeous and have beautiful sentiments on them.

Friendship with Eileen Hull Designs

 

A very quick and simple project this time from me in a colour scheme well out of my comfort zone but I like the way it turned out.

With the addition of a couple of Distree Inks and an Onyx Black Versafine ink pad, a blank card base, everything else was  designed by Eileen. All of the Dies, Stencils and Stamps are listed on the side bar.
