DIY Weddings Feature

I was fortunate enough to meet someone who is planning her wedding with DIY or handmade items. This is going to make for a beautiful wedding. She has started a blog about all things DIY for weddings! I wish I would have thought of it, what a great idea. Be sure to check out her blog HERE. She included my "will you be my bridesmaid" cards as a feature!

There is tons of great information and links to shops where you can find loads of great handmade goodies.

Be sure to check out her wonderful Etsy Shop, Bricheese

This is a super cute handmade jewelry holder! Looks like she is having a sale too!
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out my Etsy shop!

Etsy Inspired Challenge #87 and 10 followers

I am super excited for two reasons.

1. I have 10 followers! Thanks everyone for taking the time to stop by.
2. The Etsy inspired challenge this week was for a beautiful shop called Lindsay Brackeen

I am very thankful that I found the Etsy Inspired Challenge Blog. It combines my two favorite things: Etsy and Paper crafting! To find out more about the challenge click the link above.

This week's shop has the most beautiful prints. They really got me inspired and it was hard to choose one for inspiration. But this is the one I loved the most.

This is my card:

I couldn't get the blue just right. I absolutely love the blue in the Lindsay Brackeen print. I still love the results! I have posted this card in my Etsy shop MD Cards and Gifts.

Cool Etsy Dog Stuff!

So I am a little dog crazy right now since we got our puppy. It is like having a toddler in the house again and we super spoil him. I thought it would be fun to find the coolest handmade dog accessories (in my opinion) on Etsy and share them with everyone. Especially here in Austin, we love our doggies! (click on any of the shop names to visit them)

• This is from BeanTownHandmade, they make the cutest crocheted sweaters and collar flowers. Since I have a boy dog, I can't get him the flower (well.... maybe). What won over my heart was the sweater for the Sphinx cat. I have a Cornish Rex cat and she is always cold. I am going to have to get her one! You can pick the color and then they make it just to your pets specifications. They have super cute hats too! (The boston terrier model is super super cute!)

• Etsy has several shops that make metal dog tags, but this shop seems to have the most special ones. The shop is MakeYourDogSmile and the tags are great! They are so cute, I want to use them as a keychain. They are made after you order them with your dog's custom infomation. These are my two favs.

• Lastly, since I am owl crazy, I had to find a super cute owl collar. This one is from FidosFashionCollars. They have all sorts of cute dog collars and offer custom embroidery with your dogs name.

With the help from creative sellers on Etsy, your dog is sure to be the coolest in the dog park. While on Etsy check out my new creature shop WantedCreatures!

Mother's Day Gifts Etsy Picks!

Mother's Day is fast approaching, so for this week's Etsy picks I was looking for great gifts for mom. If you haven't checked out Etsy, you should. Great stuff made by extremely talented people.

• This necklace from onelifejewlery is a great take on the traditional birthstone necklaces. You can custom choose your birthstone color and the names to be added. This is one garunteed to make mom cry!

• These are photo blocks that spell out Mom. This seems like a great customized gift that looks like you put alot of thought into it. You send your photos in when you place the order. There are other sizes of block, you can check out mleefipps by clicking here.

• My mom is an avid pig collector. I am sure your mom collects some wierd...umm... I mean "neat" stuff. When I saw this needle felted pig, I knew this was a unique take on the "pig figurine". If you search "needle felted" on Etsy, you are sure to find the thing your mom collects! This cute piggy comes from Bear Creek Designs be sure to check out that shop!
