Mini Monday - Splendid Little Stars - Sparkly Park

You can easily see the love for creating in the items from the two shops of Margaret who is our mini Monday feature for today. To continue her introduction read what follows from her profile.

My home studio is located in the Cincinnati area. There is a little bit about me in the "policies" section. Artsyness and crafting have always been a part of my life. I love the outdoors, to travel to new and beautiful places, photographing all the while. Nature inspires me. I love making most anything with my hands. Inspired many years ago, by a special teacher of my daughter's, I began the study of tie dyeing. Learning something new while creating is a constant process. Discovery is a joy (mostly). I have been selling hand~dyed and hand~painted clothing for about 18 years now. I have been making jewlery for longer than that. For about 4 years, at the turn of the century, I owned a gift shop along with other artisians. We made and sold our own creations along with some "ready-mades." Truly, the most meaningful part of this was the relationships formed with our treasured customers. Sharing our creations with an appreciative audience was always heart-warming as well.

Of course I would be remiss if I didn't lead you to her blog as well. You can find out more about this busy person right here. When you stop by leave a comment and tell her the EtsyBloggers sent you!

Cards by Jenna - EtsyBloggers Mini Monday

Welcome to "Cards By Jenna"! Is that not the cutest shop banner? Congratulations on your very own EtsyBloggers Mini Monday...though you are featured for the entire week. Hummm, maybe we should call it the EtsyBloggers Mini Week?

Just seems appropriate for the team to give you this card in honor of your week! You can purchase this royal masterpiece right here: You are the Queen

Each of Jenna's creations are awesome, unique, obviously well-made with love and creativeness!

Hailing from someplace I had not heard of just outside of Seattle in Issaquah, WA, Jenna gives much credit to her grandmother for introducing her to the arts.

Well Jenna, with some 80" of snow this season, it is a good thing you have such a fun hobby!

Belonging to January 5-15th the EtsyGreetings team, participating shops are offering free domestic shipping on any Thank You card set January 5th - 15th such as this "Bee-utiful" one:

And for those who know of someone expecting a baby this year...as is the daughter of our beloved teammate Ms. Moo, "cure"ator of Spotted Cow Soaps:

Timeless works of art suitable for framing, a treasure forever and always!

When our Jenna is not using her spare time to create, she works in real estate and says she "loves helping people buy and sell their homes".

Her profile reveals: My hobbies include cooking, reading, scrapbooking, gardening, spending time with family/friends, and cardmaking!

I live with my boyfriend and we have two adorable kitties.

I love papery things and have a huge collection which I use to create my masterpieces (at least I think each card is a masterpiece!). It is a wonderful past time and hobby for me and just recently I have turned my passion into a small business.

My card making specialty is customization and creating a unique one of a kind masterpiece.

Every card is hand cut and put together carefully with the best materials. I use acid free stickers, paper, and cardstock for long lasting durability. Embellishments include ribbon, lace, sequins, rhinestones, glitter, brads, prima flowers, stickers and more! Each piece is meticulously affixed to the card with photo mounting squares or hot glue for embellishments.
