Tis Christmas Custom Order

Just quickly popping by before I put Ethan to bed. This weekend I completed a custom order on top what I had in the shop (Winter Wonderland set of cards above). Below are 6 more cards with similar theme.


And these adorable holiday tags.


I'll be working on a new project tonight. Can't wait to share with you!

Port Moody Craft Fair

I'm crazy busy preparing for the fair that is going to be held on this upcoming Sunday, November 1st. The Tri-City News writes an article in it which is a GREAT publicity for us.

The story on how this fair started is quite interesting. See, my parents introduced me to their message therapist while I stayed at their place in Port Coquitlam, BC. My dad told her that I make cards. During some treatment sessions, we talked about crafts. She herself is crafty but she doesn't have time to really doing it between her work and taking care of her toddler, who is only 2 days older than Ethan. She then said that what about having a craft fair at her house, at least that's the first step for her getting anything crafty.

Long story short, I managed to get 2 etsian sellers to join the fair and these ladies managed to get their friends to join as well. The more the merrier!

Here are some paper goodies that I'll be bringing. There are more in work now.


So if you're in the area, please come by. We'd love to see ya! Details can be found here.

Front Page Worthy

WoO HoO!

I made it to the Front Page, dedicated to Canada Day yesterday. I've been wanting to be on FP, so yesterday...it was just like a dream come true. The first time after a while being on Etsy.

There was a time when I was advised by a curator that her treasury made on a FP and one of my cards was included. I was so excited and tried to look at the archived FP (I didn't get a chance to see the live FP) but soon found out that mine was an alternate and unfortunately did not make it to appear on the FP before it expired.

Having my cards and tags on treasuries always makes me happy. It feels so great to be included and be a part of talented artists. Past treasuries with my products can be found here.

So yes, I was doing my happy dance yesterday and a big full grin smile on my face just like when I was on Storque Shop Local Asia Spotlight. I told my husband about this great accomplishment. Is this a big deal? It is for me. There is 160267 sellers on Etsy as I'm writing this article (and growing) and those photographs of artworks made to the FP, they always left me in awe. The facts that my product was picked and made to the FP just provided me with a confirmation that I'm on the right track in making my dreams come true.

Being on a FP for a short period of time translated to 9 new hearts on these tags, 12 new hearts on my shop, and 16 new hearts on other cards/ tags.


This set of 3 Leafy Green Felt Tree Tags are one of my favorites of all time. I made about 5 sets of these, a couple was sold as part of wholesale to a boutique in Nelson, BC and the set that is on sale on my shop is the last set and I won't be able to make more as I don't have the patterned paper anymore. Talking about this interesting paper, I didn't think that I would be able to create something beautiful as these tags (read here).
