EIC #139 {Paula Art}

Welcome back EIC friends! Thank you to all who played along with us last week! FABULOUS creations shared!! 

**NEW** Our EIC challenges will now be bi-weekly. Each challenge will run for 2 weeks. 

We have a fabulous new store to check out for inspiration for our EIC139 challenge! We are heading over to Paula Art!  WOW--these modern creations are made from recycled pipe vases and reclaimed items. All are hand-made.  Check these out:::

 

Paula Art has offered up a beautiful votive candle holder as a prize to one of our lucky players. Here is a bit more info from our featured store::: Gobi Desert, 2011

An arid, striated landscape of surreal blue/yellow/dusty gold. Picture

yourself on a journey thru time in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Ibex ( wild

mountain goats) and Musk Ox crying in the wind with impassioned pleas. The

buzz of reclusive insects waiting for a kill so they can feast on tidbits.

Distant music and human caravans like a vision crossing the horizon. Yes,

this vessel has that much juju :)

I hand pick only the coolest looking pipes....lug em home, cut them, clean

them and prep the inside to prevent further rusting. I hand make an aluminum

bottom which is cold welded and sanded to a smooth finish. (signed and dated

on bottom)

Please make sure you do not leave candles unattended and always use the

glass votive when burning candles in this holder. You can use these outside

but I wouldn't recommend leaving them out in wet weather unless you want to

tempt the rust gods.

Our sponsor this week is Shery K Designs. Shery K Designs has some amazing digital papers--and MORE!! You have to check them out HERE. And Shery K Designs has offered up a fabulous prize to one of our players::: 3 of her best selling packs! AWESOME!

EIC Welcomes May's Guest Designer!

Hello everyone! 

We'd like to say good-bye to our wonderful, guest designer for April, the talented and sweet, Kimme Leach Thank you so much for sharing your lovely designs with us. We are pleased to welcome 

Ellie Augustin

as this month's guest designer, Ellie's clean, simple and FUN style will bring new inspiration to our challenges! Here are some examples of her great style!

And, here's a little bit about her in her own words:

 I am a blessed stay at home mother of 3 beautiful children here on earth & one sweet angel in Heaven and a loving wife living in Long Island, New York. A lover of all things crafty.

I started crafting 4 short years ago. Its been a process of learning new techniques & sharing what I have learned. I was a Stampin Up demo where I have made the most amazing of wonderful friends whom I still am very close to. I also have been blessed to be able to teach at our Local Scrapbook store (sadly its closed) but was lucky to be able to be doing some Guest Design work for another scrapbook store currently as well as my local library bi monthly. 

I also am party of Jane Doodles : http://janeb-myblog.blogspot.com/ which is one awesome and fun Digi Stamp company.In my past had been part of the Baby Buds Design team Digital teams as well f Little Paper Shop and Little C's Stamps N'Things. 

Something I love to do is enter my work for submissions to Paper Crafts Magazine which I have had the honor of having cards picked up as well as having my cards on featured on the Moxie Paper Crafts Blog is beyond amazing as well as CARDS magazine.  

As far as my style I must say I am more the cute & Simple w/a dash of distressing in the mix (does that make sense? lol) 

I am looking forward to an amazing month of inspirations and fun & thank you so much for having me!
