Thanks for joining in on another
Sizzix Bloghop showcasing Eileen Hull’s soon to be released
ScoreBoard Dies; this first stop showcases the Scallop Box.Something new to the hop is a
CONTEST…. YES! A contest. Check out all of the stops on the Blog Hop and decide which project you like best. Vote for your favorite by posting a comment on the blog.
Be sure to vote because there are TWO PRIZES: one for the project that receives the most votes and one to a random person (could be you) posting a comment for any of the participating blogs.
There was an additional challenge for the designers. It was to incorporate office supplies into the design if we wanted to. Now how did I do that you might be asking? Well, I am a SUCKER for a contest. On my project I incorporated the following items:
paper clips
bailing twine
jewelers tags
metal rimmed tag
bookplates
packing foam sheets
binder clips
hole punch
Stamper with rolling letters
Dictionary pages
This is the scallop box with the holes punched in the top and ready for the final touches.
The foam packing sheet with paper clips used as the stems for the flowers.
The jewelry tags were inked with Clearsnap Lime Pastel Chalk Ink and used as leaves. The metal rimmed tags were inked with Clearsnap Chalk Ink. The flowers used are also from Sizzix and are called Tattered Flowers. I cut them out on dictionary pages and sprayed them with SMOOCH Spritz by Clearsnap. The hole project is held together with
Aleenes Original Tacky Glue . While the glue is drying I recommend using a rubber band to hold it all together. Don’t forget to vote
Remember the
ScoreBoard die used in the project will be given to the participating designer whose project gets the most votes.
YOU CAN WIN TOO! The other prize will be a
ScoreBoard die from the first collection. To qualify to win, you must write a comment on any of the participating designer’s sites.
Voting ends the April 5th at 6 PM (EST). Like this new

Bio-
Growing up in a small mid-western town, Niki Meiners was surrounded by a modest, resourceful and very entrepreneurial family. Her simple upbringing spurred her "Can do" attitude and gave her the confidence to try any challenge placed before her. She knew there was more out there than just her small town and set off after high school to explore the world. It was through these travels that she discovered her love of art and her desire to make the world a prettier place. It was not until she suffered a paralyzing illness that she realized she wanted to reconsider her corporate career as a Chief Paper Pusher, and her thoughts immediately turned to her first passion, art. In 2003 she began an odyssey that would take her from product design to publication and everywhere in between. She is known for her distinctive, high quality creations that feature a diverse mix of styles and highly creative approach to even the smallest detail. Niki is an Idea Architect, easily outlining every project from concept to completion. Her creations are simultaneously beautiful and functional and her in depth knowledge of the industry allows her to produce projects with a specific understanding of both the consumers and the manufacturers. This knowledge has allowed her work to be featured in the industries leading craft and lifestyle publications and manufacturers’ websites.
