Irish Invites :)

I had a custom request for some baby shower invitations for a Shamrock themed baby shower. I was going for simple, classy, and fun. Here is what I got! The green paper is Core Coordinations and I love it. The texture is very neat and really looked beter than plain green cardstock. The white is Bazzill Blings. I embossed the white with my Cuttlebug and the Invitation themed folder. I then colored the green accents by hand on the embossed image. Yes, time consuming, but how freaking pretty! After adhering the 2 pages together I punched and ran the shamrock ribbon through the top and tied a bow. I was really pleased with how they came out and I the embossing just makes the entire thing. Less is more sometimes, ya know!!!

Well.....

Inspired by my DT girls at DCRU. How you get away with having so many scrappy goodies and making it OK with the significant other:

"They are Design Team Swag!"
"Look at this RAK!"
"I won this in a giveaway."
"These were in the Dollar Bin at Michaels"
--Leaving the extra bag from JoAnn', Michaels, HL, Archiver's in the car until DH goes to sleep, downstairs, out back, etc.
--Carry a LARGE purse.
--This is stock for my online store. (Don't try this unless you have an online store :)
--When a large SU box arrives- most of this are other peoples "orders".

and the list goes on. I laughed so hard this morning at a thread the DT gals had going on our email and I just HAD to share. They cracked me up. Isn't it funny how we sometimes justify our scrappy habit! Have any others? PLEASE share!!

Pay It Forward!

I have had SO many nice comments, emails, and even dinner by miss CraftyPaperGirl, which was FAB may I add, since we got home from the hospital. When I saw this post on Amanda's blog, I knew I wanted to join in!

The subject of "pay it forward" has come up quite frequently lately. I love the whole idea of paying it forward and usually the stories I hear are inspiring and uplifting. Then, this past week, I came across Regina's blog, Scrap Creations who had a post about "paying it forward." Regina has a wonderful idea to incorporate paying it forward, crafting, sharing and inspiring. Here are the details...
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me, especially for you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make but I hope you will.
2- What I create will be just for you.
3-They say I have a year to get it to you. But I promise it will NOT take that long.
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It’s a surprise to both of us at this point.
The catch? You must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.
So the first five people who post, and are willing to pass it along, will get a handmade gift in the mail from me. When you get it, make sure you post a pic on your blog!
I hope you'll play along and pay it forward with me!

Comment Crazy Freebies : Monthly Drawing Details

Shimmerz Giveaway: Enter Here Ends 8/18

Parkwood Cottage Giveaway- Ends 8/21

Saturday Spotlight Giveaway!

Saturday Spotlight and Giveaway! (Details for giveaway at the end of post! 2 winners!!!!!

Name: Lisa Wagner

Where are you from: Georgia

What do specialize in: Color and black & white prints of the South

Name & URL of store: Parkwood Cottage Photography http://www.parkwoodcottage.etsy.com/

Where did the name come from: I lived in England for several years when I was growing up and became accustomed to people calling houses "cottages." My husband and I recently purchased a home on a street called Parkwood, so it seemed natural to blend the two together.

How did you get started on etsy?: I've been an avid photographer for years and have had several people comment on my work, so in April I decided to go out on a limb and open my shop.

Any advice for new etsy sellers that you have learned?: Patience! I've found that it takes a lot of time to find your "niche" on Etsy. Many of my sales are actually trades with other shops, which is a great way to get your work noticed. Don't give up!

What do you want customers to know about you and/or your product: All of the photographs in my shop are taken by myself or my husband; and are professionally printed, signed and dated. I take great care in wrapping and packaging to ensure that your print will arrive safely.

Shameless addictions (retail therapy, etc): Coffee, chocolate, books, and Etsy!Anything else interesting you'd like to share with us? We strive to update our shop on a monthly basis, so check with us often for new arrivals. We also have a blog (http://www.parkwoodcottage.blogspot.com/ ) that features new prints before they appear in our shop, as well as weekly features on other Etsy shops. You can follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/parkwoodcottage

Want to win a 5x7 print from Parkwood Cottage? TWO lucky winners who comment will! Comment for one chance, visit their shop and comment on you rfav pic for another chance, add their store to your favs and comment for a 3rd chance, or make a purchase for a 4th chance!

I just think this is an adorable shop!!!

Fabric Fun and The giveaway!

(Another scheduled post all. So sorry, but this means we are still in the hospital from the hubby's surgery on Friday. )

Who doesn't love great fabric? I love when I see a pattern on fabric that would make an awesome embellishment. I often cut out the part I want to use, adhere to felt and then usinf floss and a button, when needed, add a finishing touch! If you glue a bit of cardstock onto the back try attaching to a project with dimensionals or pop dots to make it 3d. Very easy, cost effective and a super great use for fabric scraps! (FYI- Fabric on the top and right are Amy Butler and the one on the bottom left is Michael Miller. Don't forget to enter the giveaway from Saturday's post! Someone is getting a FREE prodyct from TicTacDough!

Happy Monday! & MERMAIDS

Wish I could say I was coming to you love from home, but most of you know I am at the hospital since hubby had surgery Friday. (This post is scheduled and I writing it on Thursday. Seems weird, lol!) On with the post!

MERMAIDS! and lots of them! I had a customrequest from a super nice lady in New York a few weeks ago for 20 mermaids. She was makign her daughters party invites and need some fishy brunette cuties to finish them. My only complaint with some of the cricut carts are that you have to sometimes waste a lot of paper when making some of the layers. For example: Cut body out of the peachy, fine, BUT THEN all in one cut you get the tail, hair, top, and flower. Well I need 20 green tails, but not 20 green hairs, tops, and flowers! So, I have found a way to sometimes use those green or other color cuts! For several of the bikini tops in the picture, I used the green ones and colored over them with Stampin' Writes from SU and then embellished them with Stickles! Hides the green pretty well. Another great way to hide the colors- Smooch. The pearlized Paint that looks like nail polish! I love this stuff! Have a great day everyone!!!

Back where I come from...

Good Sunday morning! This is still a scheduled post since I am at the hospital with Hubby. Sorry If I haven't had a chance to update anyone. That means no internet at the hospital :( Anyways- Jsut wanted to share a post that makes me happy. I love Kenny Chesney's music. Yes there are some not so serious songs, but most of his music I can apply to something in my life. (The reason country music is so popular with so many.) The song "Back Where I Come From.." LOVE IT! My siter and I always sing it at the topof our lungs at every KC concert, and we have been to a few. Here are the lyrics in case you don't know :

Well in the town where I was raised,

the clock ticks and the cattle graze.

Time passed with amazing grace

back where I come from.

You could lie on a riverbank,

or paint your name on a water tank,

miscount all the beers you drank

back where I come from.

Back where I come fromwhere

I'll be when it's said and done.

well I'm proud as anyone,

That's where I come from.

We learned in a Sunday school

who made the sun shine through.

I know who made the moon shine too

back, where I come from.

Blue eyes on a Saturday night,

tan legs in the broad daylight.

TV’s, they were black and white

back where I come from.

Back where I come fromwhere

I'll be when it's said and done.

Well I'm proud as anyone,

that's where I come from

Some say it's a backward place

narrow minds on the narrow way

but I make it a point to say

that's where I come from.

That's where I come from

where I'll be when it's said and done.

Well I’m proud as anyone,

that's where I come from.

Back where I come from

I'm an old tennessean (I prefer KENTUCKIAN) :)

Well I'm proud as anyone

that's where I come from!

That's where I come from

When I hit I-65 South heading an hour and a half HOME to Cave City (my parents, but I still call it home.) I just get this warm fuzzy feeling. I miss the country. The laid back, easy going, "ain't-gettin'-in-a-hurry-over-nuthin'", mentality. Life is short and fun. People are good. Work is hard. Rewards are amzing. I love where I come from. I will be back there when it's said and done.

Saturday Spotlight- TicRacDough

I am so happy to bring you another great shop for Saturday Spotlight! Read on and remember to read the details at the end for a chance to WIN!

-Sammye Jo

Name: Maryann

Where are you from: We live in a little town east of San Diego, California, called Ramona! Ramona used to be the turkey capital of the world-- I still see wild turkeys walking around town!

What do You specialize in: I sell homemade, natural playing dough for children and adults of all ages (3 and up).

Name & URL of store: TicTacDough http://www.tictacdough.etsy.com and my blog: http://www.tictacdough.blogspot.com

Where did the name come from: I was wracking my brain trying to come up with a name that was catchy, but fun and easily memorable-- my lovely husband laying on the couch said-- what about "TicTacDough?" His one and only suggestion became our name!

How did you get started on etsy?: Well I actually started on etsy about a year ago buying great handmade items from amazing sellers! I then opened a vintage shop called The Lost and Found (http://www.thelostfound.etsy.com) last January, then just recently decided to take my other love, making homemade, natural playing dough for my kids, and open a shop! It seemed like a natural progression for me. I stay with my girls during the day and get to do what I love in my spare time-- homemade and vintage!

Any advice for new etsy sellers that you have learned?: I think keeping a positive attitude throughout your journey helps tremendously! Whether it be simply having an up-beat welcome announcement in your shop or keeping a positive vibe in the forums-- I find you attract more bees with honey! =)

What do you want customers to know about you and/or your product: That playing dough is so much fun-- yet it can also be educational! Shhh-- the kiddos don't have to know! Before I decided to take the plunge and stay home with my daughters, I taught 1st grade. I was amazed at the varying skill levels... some children didn't know how to cut using a pair of scissors-- using playing dough daily in the classroom, helped amazingly! Learning to use scissors can be a challenge for many kids because it's difficult for them to hold and cut floppy paper. Roll out TicTacDough into half-inch thick sheets, and watch your child become a super snipper! TicTacDough is a good learning material because its rigidity provides resistance so your child can feel what he's doing with the scissors.Playing with TicTacDough promotes creativity, encourages generosity and it builds fine-motor skills in young ones-- plus so much more! Please see my link to my shop welcome for some fun, educational ideas for playing with TicTacDough http://www.etsy.com/shop_policy.php?user_id=7693080 .

Shameless addictions (retail therapy, etc): I love perusing the many gorgeous kid items on Etsy! It is amazing what some people can do with their hands! I am so jealous of people that can sew! I would love to be able to make dresses and cute things for the kids-- but me with a needle will only end in disaster!

Anything else interesting you'd like to share with us? For all the great 62Cards readers, I will be giving away one 6 ounce tub of ANY COLOR to one lucky reader!

I promise I will be back later in the day with a "great" lol post, but for right now, I am EXHAUSTED! With my husband having surgery this coming Friday, same day as our little guy's 3rd birthday, we had his party in my hometown this weekend.

He was spolied beyond spoiled and even ended the party after the gifts by climbing on the table at the restaurant and saying "Thank You everyone for everything. My presents too!" and then repatedly blwong kisses to everyone and throwing his arms up. A true showman! (My grandpa call him "SHOWBOAT" :)
