Have you seen these sweet little deer?

These babies are just waiting for you to take them home! They are made of cardstock that I handcut and glittered, and mounted on adhesive backed felt.

Something I like to do that I want to share with you..

This tip is good for your pocket book, and the environment. I like to go to Value Village (thrift store) and buy the $0.99 children's books - not only for my son, but to use as crafting supplies.

Crafting supplies? Yup! Here are some pictures of some item's I recently made with a book about a little girl and some teddies from 1988.


Wall Hanging ade from the book's cover


Beary Cute Gift Tags from book images I cut out

I'm currently in the process of cutting up the rest of this book, as well as a few other books :) It's such a great and cheap way to get fun, happy images for your crafts.

The items featured in this blog post are for sale in my etsy shop.

Last Day to Order for Valentine's Day Delivery

Because I live in Canada, I have made today the cut off for Valentine's Day Delivery - this gives items three weeks to arrive. I still have lots of Valentine's merchandise in shop so get it while you can!! As a special for blog readers I will take 10% off your order if you use the code: ValentineBlog.

The clearance is still running and select items are 10-30% off!

PS: I made a "love"ly valentine's day themed treasury last night - it could use some love.

It seems I'm on a roll...

MORE new items! Yeah, I stayed up until 2am last night making things.. I feel like I am just wired lately. I can't get my brain to shut off.. but at least I am accomplishing things! On a very happy note - yesterday was my best day for sales since I opened the shop! I am so excited that my new items are being well recieved :) I am starting to put a little bit more hope into my dream of being able to stay home after my maternity leave runs out by selling my crafts.






Also, the *very* lovely Holiday Jenny posted a picture of one of my gingerbread man ornaments hanging on her tree - please go check it out! And have a look at the rest of the pics of her tree.. it is amazing! (of course it is, it's Jenny!!).

Just popping in...

Augh! Again, just popping in! One of these days I need to sit down and write a really good, not rushed because I'm doing a million things at once post. I miss the days when I used to share more than just my new creations, but things have been so busy for me! I am working on getting ready to sell at the local flea market. I'm showing off some new items today:






These are all available now in the shop - and can be seen in <more detail on my flickr photostream..

PS: Did you guys know I'm on twitter? I post a lot through the day... I would love to follow some of my readers! Here is my profile.

Brilliant Idea!!

Ok, so.... I am introducing a new product today! I came up with this idea in a sem-dream haze.. that is always the best time for ideas :) I have aways thought of doing supply kits since I looooove purchasing supplies and I love to put things together - like matching colors and bits and bobs. I probably love those aspects of crafting more than actually making things! But, I didn't want to have to purchase large quantities of items and do tons of the same kits every month, so, the Paper*Cakes one of a kind card kit is born!

I took a bunch of paper, embellishments, epherma, and bits and bobs and put them together in little co-ordinating sets. Here is the first one, what do you think?









This kit is available in the Shop now, more to come soon!
