036: On the Paper Trail with Eileen Hull

  I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!  Our guest today is Eileen Hull. Eileen grew up in a large family where there was always an art project in the works. Learning to think creatively has been a huge benefit throughout her life: from thirteen military moves and raising four children to developing product lines for craft manufacturers. In 2009, Sizzix launched her signature line of ScoreBoards™ dies, which are specially designed to cut and score matboard and thicker materials. Her twelfth Sizzix collection, Stitchlits, will be released in October, 2015. Eileen also has a line of sixteen innovative ink applicators called ColorBox™ Blends with Clearsnap. She lives in Herndon, Virginia with her husband in their empty nest :-) The newest addition to the family is a vintage camper called Scotty, which Eileen outfitted as a mobile studio. In September 2014, she drove cross-country, teaching and crafting for two months on the Paper Trail. To date, Eileen and Scotty have: logged 23,746 miles stopped in 30 states visited 32 stores taught 51 classes filmed 14 videos attended 2 rep shows displayed on the show floor of the Paper Arts+ Show in July 2015 Please visit her blog and social media sites for the latest Paper Trail adventures and crafty inspiration!
