I was planning to unplug for a few days and do some fun summer stuff. So, I pre wrote a bunch of blog posts and then never made them go live. Funny, I don't think this is the first time i've done this.
I'm so in love with this chevron paper. My favorite colors right now and the scale is perfect!
These two cards are from my July Creative Cards Kit, there are still a few more left in the shop as the month comes to an end.
Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Today I'd like to introduce you to my very good friend Eileen Hull. Eileen and I work together for Sizzix and she designs an amazing line of dies called Scoreboard dies. Most of her dies are meant to be cut from mat board which makes the die cuts rigid.
You can cut chipboard or matboard. The ScoreBoards dies produce sturdier boxes, pockets, holders and other ultra-versatile designs. But what's even more cool is the versatility... these dies can cut cardstock or patterned paper alone and that's just what I did for my July cards in the Vintage Greetings Kit.
As I was saying...Eileen is just about the sweetest person i've ever met in the craft world or otherwise. Her warm and kind personality just make me smile every time I have the pleasure of being with her. Hands down my favorite die Eileen has ever designed is this Canning Jar die. I've created the two cards shown here with it. Mason jars are so hot and trendy right now, and I adore them. You can see all of Eileen's Dies HERE and you can visit Eileen's Blog HERE. Just take a few peeks at her videos and you'll see what I mean, she's just charming!
Hope you'll try one of my kits out and you can even subscribe to receive new card kits every month.
A few more links to distract you check out today...
Connect with Eileen on Facebook, Connect with me on Facebook, check out my technique video to coordinate with this months kit, and the Vintage Greetings July Kit.
Hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

Sending blessings to you today. And i'm feeling blessed too, the Kit and Crafty Goodie sale was a huge success. I'm taking a couple of days to rest and regroup from it all. In the midst of the sale I was getting the "Vintage Greetings" July Kits out to all the subscribers, finalizing items and packing the CHA Sizzix booth off to Las Vegas, filling online orders from the sale and prepping to teach a big class tonight. Its been busy and I have to admit that a few balls were dropped along the way. This month I used lots of dies and Embossing Folders designed by Eileen Hull... More about her later this week. Take a peek at the kits this month they are adorable!
