NON paper favorites

As always, click on any photo for more info/details (will take you to an etsy shop).

#1. Yo-Yo's pillow. I love these because they remind me of my canvas tree art.

#2. Adorable birdie bib. It looks SO soft and cozy.

#3. Bible covers. I love these because part of the proceeds go to a wonderful cause, and cause they are a super cute way to carry your bible to church.

and one of my shop's newly added favorites. (and yes, I realize it's paper but I love it so much, something about cupcakes always does it)

Happy Monday!

CARDS.

I got a huge card order from a past customer so I have been busy these last few days. I thought I would post a couple of my favorites.

And this one is my most favorite. It's so bright and fun. I made it with a little girls birthday in mind, but it could work for adults too.

Sorry for the mini break

I hurt my wrist (doc says from too much crafting) so I had to take a break and let it heal. In the meantime I did some crazy cleaning/organizing of the craft space. Here are a couple picture of my new shelves :) Finally a place to put my stamps. Yes, there is one shelf missing. Stupid packaging was backwards so it ruined the front of the shelf, I need to go exchange it.

You may recognize most of my stamps for the Michael's $1 section. I LOVE that spot and I can't pass up $1 cute stamps.

After organizing I decided to do an easy scrapbook layout and then I needed a birthday card for a friend. FINALLY I successfully used my cricut in a design instead of cutting out more items for my scrap pile.

Now the newest problem to tackle is that all the outlets in my craft room aren't working. I had to transport my supplies to the living room and ended up working on the fireplace ledge thing that I have. I need my outlets to work!

Missed a day

I was to busy playing with my new toy last night (the cricut create) to take a minute to write anything. Since I know I will be playing with it tonight I was poking around online to find some ideas. I found a blog I love.

and from this blog I found these great ideas to work with:

If something turns out I promise to post photos :)

First "real" Etsy Sale

FINALLY. I joined the etsy team a little over 6 months ago and aside from an excited co-worker buying my entire stock on my first day I haven't made any sales. I was feeling kinda bummed about it yesterday and then got a message that 4 of my cards sold. Two of them were my favorites. So they won't be forgotten here they are for all to see. I'm gonna miss the red bird.

And just because she made me so happy, I want to share her adorable owl themed shop and of course my favorite item from it.

First Post and Scrolls

I enjoy looking at other blogs and finding interesting, creative, amazing or just plain odd things. So I decided I would start my blog with my latest favorite find.

Scrolls. A poster on etsy caught my eye and I cannot stop looking at her shop. She is a graphic designer who designs all of her items herself. I am just in awe. Take a minute to visit her blog http://niklin1225.blogspot.com/ or her etsy shop http://www.niklindesigns1225.etsy.com/

Enjoy! I can't wait to finally narrow down my top 100 choices and purchase a few for my own scrapbooking.
