chunky little book for holiday lists




This fat little book was so much fun to make, using Eileen Hull's 
versatile XL Square Box Scoreboard die for Sizzix,  
as another sample for our class on Saturday afternoon, December 7th, 
at Angela's Happy Stamper in Reston.


Within its small frame, there are plenty of pages to make lots of holiday lists, 
like a gift list, a wish list, and that naughty and nice list.
It can hold tags and pockets, too!


In class, Eileen and I are teaming up show you how to create the box and then
how to use the same die to create a chunky book and a shaker ornament.


Although I forgot to photograph the inside liner of this book, 
it's a series of holiday words doodled in outline and then colored in.  
This book liner to color will be part of the class kit, along with instruction sheets
and handwritten tags for embellishing your projects
for the holidays.


Come join Eileen and me for a crafty afternoon Saturday, December 7th,

time to start making your holiday wish box



Ho, ho, ho!  Once again the fabulous Eileen Hull and I are teaming up to teach a class using Eileen's awesome dies for Sizzix.  This time we'll be using her XL Square Box Scoreboard die to create a trio of holiday projects.   Starting with the box shape, we'll make a glittery hanging ornament, a photo box for any season, and a fun chunky book for all your holiday lists.


By the way, check out Eileen's blog to see her stop-animation video showing her 3-D Artist Trading Blocks, the new trend being introduced at CHA this January, using her new block dies!!


And then, come join Eileen and me at Angela's Happy Stamper in Reston on Saturday, December 7th, from 1-4 pm!  We'll be busy little elves all afternoon!
