Coffee Lovers - Humorous Retro Altered Art Paper Bag Album

I am sure this book is going to give a kick to any coffee lover :)
I used lot of retro funny sayings, vintage coffee ads, & other cool elements to make this unique album. The tags I used are all coffee stained so they smell so good while looking/reading through the album.
You can find this little treasure in my Etsy shop.

Custom Work - 12" x 12" Premade 20 page Scrapbook Album

I completed a 20 page custom order album for a dear client few days ago.

This is the Wedding Reception album. Theme was tropical and the event was held at a pool side. So you will see lots of bright colorful pages for this one :) It was lot of fun to make this album.

Trying to make my Etsy shop more visible..

There are lot of new things that I am trying out to promote my Etsy shop as much as possible.
I am trying to get more visiblity through different sources.

Last night I bought the Flickr Pro account. It was getting more and more difficult with each additional pictures. With free account, only 200 pictures are visible and I already have uploaded over 320 images in less than a month. I have made a definite sale through Flickr so thought it is a good investment from both personal and business point of view. Now I can organize each album in seperate sets and create collections and so on.

I also joined Twitter as according to few threads on Etsy forums thats the next "in" thing..lol..
I created this mosaic for sidebar so my creations can be seen whoever visits my page at Twitter. I learnt it from this thread on Etsy forums.

I added few more calendars and note holders to my Etsy shop. Last week was pretty dry. Didn't have any sale except for weekend. Got a custom order as well but nothing to brag about. I am not sure yet what works and what doesn't! I am trying to establish myself before the actual holiday sales picks up.
Lets see how it goes!
If you have any suggestions,tips or your success stories, please do share! I would love to hear it :)

Later!!!

"Love" Paper Bag Album

This album is another one using Basic Grey papers and supplies using my stash! I added this album to my shop along with new sticky notes holders, calendars and I also introduced Dog themed goodies for pet lovers!

"Together" Family themed Mini Album

I had good sale on Etsy this weekend. First, it was feature on Treasury, then 3 of my albums got sold along with few small ticket items. I have lot of new goodies to share with you which will be my next post.

This "Together" album is one of the sold ones but it is too good not to share.

I used Basic Grey Fall themed papers along with Making Memories chipboard and stickers. I love the colors and prints in this album.

My First Time in Treasury on Etsy

This morning I got an email from this kind lady heartlandart notifying me that she has got a treasury called "We're all hoping" and she included my "Hope" album in it.. This is my first time in a Treasury!! Its not even a month that I started selling on Etsy and I got featured in it, it totally made my day :)

For those who don't know what is a Treasury, here is the explanation from Etsy help page -

The Treasury is a member-curated gallery of short-lived lists of 12 hand-picked items each (plus four alternates). It functions as a high-demand (and pretty!) promotional tool that many devoted Etsians fight to get. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme, or just however they like. The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy.

Go check it out, it will stay alive till Sun. Oct 5, 4:51PM -
We're all Hoping Treasury

DIVA~Girl themed Mini Scrapbooking Album
