Wedding Bliss

My shop has been getting a lot of request from soon to be brides. I decided to feature and make some items that have been requested. I have found this to be challenging and fun. It is a bit out of my specialty but, I am still using paper so it works...well lol I think. We will have to see once I make a sale. If all goes well, I will open up a new shop. I don't think that my main shop name will attract many wedding planners.

Paper Roses with Wire Stems

Had a custom request for my paper roses to have stems. I had to brainstorm a bit but figured how to adhere them to the roses from inside. I never thought that I would have to rummage through the tool box for wire cutters and needle nose pliers to create paper flowers.

Paper Carnations

I have been selling lots of paper flower in my shop lately. Here is a view of the process. They aren’t very hard to make but, time consuming. I love how they turn out. They look so real once they are completed. I hope you enjoy….

Sweet Baby Elephant

I created this new Party set for a custom order. I just loved how the door sign and the cupcake toppers turned out so, I had to included them in my shops. I am thinking that perhaps I should make a pink set as well. We will have to see if I am motivated enough to make something that might not sell right away. Elephants represent luck and well, maybe this is the kind of luck I need: more sales!

Clearing out and MOVING

Hi guys :)

I am moving all of my stamps out of my main Etsy shop. Once they are expired or sold I will not be relisting them. I have created a new Etsy shop called TheLADYandtheSTAMPS. Yes, another shop! Like I don't have enough shops out there....never enough just not enough time to post and check in LOL. So, come visit my new stamp shop, if you are wondering where all the stamps went but, also don't forget I will always have the AbunchofScrap shop.

Winning

I reached 300 sales in my Etsy Shop this last month. Yes, I know I should have posted something about it sooner (my bad). Here are my lucky winners. Like, Sheen would say: "Winning"

1st place winner: MotherJuju
2nd place winner: CapturedStarlight
3rd place winner: LynnetteJewelry

I used random.org to select the winners. I hope to have another contest soon. Lets see if I make another milestone with this shop soon so, that all of the non winners get another chance to win fabulous things.

Congratulations ladies for being supportive customers! I hope that you guys enjoy all the lovely things you picked up. Look forward to having you come visit my shop again.

Class of 2011

Class of 2011 omg I'm old :) I made a YouTube video on how to make this graduation card. The card was customized for one of my customers but, I decided to make a video and sell the other one in my shop.

Someone told me that they still couldn't hear me on the video that well. Perhaps it is my audio. I replay the darn thing and I sound so boring. I guess I have to bubble it up (it's called acting). Come check it out or even better go to my shop and buy it.
