My Premade Baby Boy Album on Etsy

2009-07-03T16:13:00.001-07:00

I have listed my first premade scrapbook in my Etsy shop! It is an 8.5" x 11" blue cloth album made for baby boy pictures! I decided to post several pictures on my blog and give a link to them in the listing on Etsy, because I am only allowed to post 5 pictures in the listing!
The next two posts are full of pictures!
Please check out the listing in my shop also! Premade Baby Boy Album on Etsy
I would love to know what you think, so please leave me your comments here on the blog!
Thanks for looking! :)

Scrap With Style

2009-03-03T04:30:00.000-08:00

I have decided to feature a seller that specializes in scrapbook supplies! I LOVE scrapbook supplies!!! My first seller featured is Scrap With Style! Janelle is the owner of this scrapbook supply store on Etsy! Check it out: ScrapWithStyle

In the words of Janelle, here is a bit about her:

My name is Janelle Jones and I live in Sibley Iowa (: and I am a SAHM/WAHM with my two little precious daughters age 4 yrs and 1 yr. I am a nurse and massage therapist by trade, but have been "at home" since the birth of my first daughter. My hubby is a band and art teacher here in town and we together as a family sell scrap booking supplies at local craft/home business fairs and crops in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota and I also teach youth/parent-child/adult scrapbook classes locally.
I started out as an "independent consultant" about 3 yrs ago but grew into my own store/business about 1 year ago. I've been scrapp'n for around 10 years or more and I only carry products that I love and use myself. My goals for new products in my Etsy shop and home-store are products that are easy-to-use, and make the most of your (limited!) scrap booking time.
I know that it's hard to find time to scrapbook, among other things, so I carry a lot of "page kits" which are coordinating papers and embellishments grouped around a theme so you can sit and scrap and get several projects or layouts done in a short amount of time without the hassle of searching for color combos and embellishments! (:
In addition to page kits, I love chipboard, ribbon, and rub-ons so I have a lot of that in my store too!

These are a few of Janelle's favorites from her Etsy shop:

February Shopping Extravaganza sponsored by Team ESST!

2009-02-05T05:37:00.000-08:00

Find this thread at: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6029884
EtsySupplyStreetTeam says: Today begins a new Marketing Venture for our Team that we plan on repeating monthly. It will be a Team ESST sponsored - Etsy Wide Promotional event, which will take place on the first weekend of every month. This months sale will run from Thursday, February 5 – Sunday, February 8.

ALL Etsy shops are invited to participate by placing an announcement in your shop and joining us with promoting on this "Official" Promotional thread.

Feel Free to post in your shops announcement the following:
"I am participating in the February Shopping Extravaganza sponsored by Team ESST from Thursday, February 5 through Sunday, February 8th."

This will be a “Shopping Event” similar to a Public Marketplace. There will not be a "Overall theme" since Etsy is a Global Marketplace hence, the seasons, cultures, holidays, etc can vary quite a bit. Although not required, we do strongly encourage shops to have a feature, theme or sale as this can pique interest and help you to draw people to your shop.

You do not have to participate for the whole weekend as we will be posting a fresh new thread each day of the event (the next thread will be posted on Friday morning, Feb 6th, around 7 AM EST). You can easily find the new link by checking the last post of the old thread each day or you can search for the official thread - “February Shopping Extravaganza sponsored by Team ESST” here in the Promotions section of the Etsy forums. All our morning posts will be posted with our team ESST ID.

The only requirement is that you have a shop on Etsy and help promote by joining in and bumping the thread throughout the weekend. Talk about your shop and what you have to offer our shoppers. It is our hope that a large portion of the Etsy community will join in!

Those of you who blog or twitter can post and/or tweet about it and promote to people that are off Etsy to visit us. It will provide the Etsy community with publicity, making our shops more visible, and hopefully creating a monthly event shoppers will look forward to.

Just a note: This isn't an "Etsy sponsored event" but a Team ESST event. Information on our team can be found here: http://teamesst.blogspot.com/ ". If you have any questions please convo TheArtistsCloset.etsy.com

Congratulations to my Threadkiller winner!

2009-02-03T06:58:00.000-08:00

I recently hosted a threadkiller contest on Etsy! For those of you who aren't familiar with this, several contests are held on the forums on Etsy. The threadkiller contest host sets his or her own rules. A "threadkiller" is someone who is the last to post for a certain amount of time. In my contest, this was 20 hours!
Congratulations to VividTexture for winning this contest! As a prize, the winning person was to choose an item from my shop $5.00 and under. VividTexture chose one of my Valentine's Day cards! Thank you to all who entered!
Check out the winner at: http://vividtexture.etsy.com

Congratulations to the winner of my blog giveaway, Marigold! I have notified the winner via email. As posted in the blog, the winner has 24 hours to respond to the email to accept the prize. If the winner has not responded in 24 hours, I will randomly choose another winner!
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest!

Just because you didn't win the contest, doesn't mean you have to go without your favorite item from my shop!! If the item you chose as your favorite is still available, I will offer you 15% off of that item until the end of February!! If the item you chose is unavailable, and you see something else in my shop that you would like to purchase, I will offer you 10% off of that item! If you will convo me on Etsy before you purchase, I can update the price for your discount. Or, you can purchase as normal, and wait for a revised invoice from PayPal to reflect your discount!

Thanks again to everyone! Check back soon for more contests! :)

She does great work and will soon be launching new designs. Please visit her blog for photos and more information: http://www.jessicalynnoriginal.blogspot.com/

I used Jessica's custom stamp on this birthday card that I made for my nephew!!
