Calling All CARDS

Cardmaking! Its special because each card is one of a kind, some of them designed specifically FOR the recipient. Years ago when scrapbooking became popular, i swore i wouldnt get into it. There just seemed to be so much involved, so much to buy, etc. But after a while the scrapbooking bug bit me. Even more so, I realized that making cards is practically if not exactly like doing scrapbooking and I really became interested in that. For my moms 80th birthday I made her invitations with torn paper and jewels, rubberstamping and more. They read "youth is a gift of nature, old age is a work of art". I do lots of custom card orders in my etsy shop and really enjoy it. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com. I recently made a super girly, frilly card as a custom order and the inside read "what the F**k?" Seems the buyers friend was a prim and proper woman, but as the buyer tells me "she cusses like a sailor". I really enjoyed making that one!

I do still BUY some cards when I find some in a style that I dont make myself or one that just catches my eye so that i have to have it. I found this scarecrow card in jessis shop http://www.jessijewels.etsy.com/ and its simply amazing. Alot of work went into this one: rubberstamped and colored in with colored pencils and chalk. Its lovely. Browse around her shop. she also makes jewelry!

Somebunny loves you in snowys shop. http://www.snowy652.etsy.com/ This little bunny is super adorable and says it all. Snowy has pages and pages of scrapping items and cards in her shop. If you make cards, its the place for supplies. If you are looking for a special card, visit her and shop around. She has lots to choose from

Its closer than you think! Lets not forget mother this year. Not sure what to buy for her, or maybe you are going to buy a gift card for her fave store or restaurant. In any event, its always best to start with a card. I have my etsy shop chock full of mothers day cards in anticipation of the big event...........even a few grandma cards in there as well as a card for sister, and am happy to do any kind of custom order. My newest this year is flowerseed cards. Pretty, practical and unique. I think any mom would love one. This week I am offering a special for blog readers.

Butterflychic has this extremely feminine and mom-like card in her shop. I cant help but think how cool this card would be paired with a lavendar nightgown and slippers. My mom loves to get that kind of stuff. Butterfly has not only paper goods, but also graphics, banners, avatars and plugs. If you havent yet visited her shop, be sure to stop by. I'm positive she will have something that you need.

April Showers

So, I was reading the Womans World magazine and came across the cutest little April shower cupcakes made with handcut fruit slices and the handle was made from the "hook" part of a pretzel. So so cute!! But anyway, it got me to thinking of April showers..........which brings me here, cause as you all know, I started browsing around etsy shops to see what I could see in the way of April showers.

In Stampinscrapstudios shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5665445

I found the cutest little April shower card featuring a bunny and frog seeking shelter under an umbrella. Its adorable and upon browsing her shop, I notice she has lots of great stuff. You should check her out. Seems she is fairly new to etsy, so be sure to show her lots of love!

The Rain Drops mixed media painting I found in Nancyviews shop is totally amazing. It gives me such a happy feeling just looking at it, and how ingenious to have sheet music in the background!!!! It so totally makes me think of "singing in the rain". Be sure to visit her shop and oooh and ahhh at all the amazing art http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5110701

Then I stumbled across this absolute TREASURE. I have been eyeballing it since I first found it last night. 1000 rainy days since we first met pendant is very very unique and beautiful! I'm especially partial to it, due to the fact it also features a heart..................and i collect hearts!!! Shinyadornments has a pretty big variety of lovely and colorful jewelry. Take a peek in her shop and be prepared to be amazed. http://www.shinyadornments.etsy.com
