Unique, creative papercrafts: review giveaway Pam Creates CLOSED



I have been looking for a really creative way to add business cards to my jewelry when I mail them out.  I look at various online business card stores. I was just not all that excited about them.  I wanted something different, fun and creative (after all I am a creative person why just have boring old business cards.)


In comes Pam. She was looking for someone to do a review for her. I was SO excited when she said that she would like me to do the review for her!! 


Let me tell you a little about her...
She lives in Montana with her husband and daughter along with 5 fur children. Actually I think she does a pretty good job of telling about herself:  
"I started crafting when I was just a little girl with my grandma and mother. My family has always been crafty and artistic and so it was only natural that I would also enjoy it. My daughter is also following in my footsteps and making me very proud with her wonderful works of art."

What she gave me to review I just LOVE: 
This will be something I can attach to the jewelry piece itself! What a great idea!!! 


But she does not just do business tags she does SO much more than that! 


She does everything from Bookmarks:


and tags for scrapbooking:
to Thank you cards:
and so much more! 
Check out her Etsy shop and see all that she has (over 220 items up for sale so there is A LOT to see). While you are there  I hope you find something you would like to buy! She has so much to choose from.  She does an excellent job and all of it is high quality! 


But if you are feeling lucky you can win the bookmark,scrapebooking tags and thank you cards you see in the pictures above.

Who's looking for some creative jewelry? Review & giveaway: MERYDETH Jewelry





To say this girl has talent to spare is an understatement!  In her life it is a family affair to be creative! She is the daughter of my last review (Jooniebeads) and has a grandmother who also has a shop. She also does cake decorating and photography.  She is in college right now with a graphic design major and hopes to work for Disney one day! (she MIGHT have a few creative bones in her body)

I was so excited when she let me review this piece of jewelry for her!!  I really like this necklace! I have worn it almost everyday since I got it! My son and husband both state how much they like it!  My son tells me daily "mommy I love that heart".  

This necklace is a granite stone necklace with red chip accents and filagree heart pendant . There is no clasp at all. It is on a elastic string that goes over your head! I like that! No clasp to worry about and easy to put on!!  

Her jewelry is creative and fun!  She everything from very classy (like her cross necklace) to really fun (like her rubber ducky earrings). It is obvious she loves what she does and she does a great job!! At only 19 I can only imagine what she will do in the future!  

I even love the box she puts her jewelry in to mail! 

So now that you are ready to buy!! Go check her out here.

Now if you feel lucky you can also try to win a piece!!  The winner gets to pick any 1 piece from her shop!!

Jooniebeads Treasures jewelry review/giveaway




I sell jewelry and I love getting inspiration from all over the place!  I am hoping one day I can be as good as Jooniebeads!! The jewelry she makes is really pretty and very well crafted!  I would love to have half her talent!

I got the pleasure of reviewing some of her work! As you can tell she gave me these earrings! I think they are my new favorite earrings!


They are sparkling petite amethyst crystal earrings. These are not my birthstone but I LOVED the look of them and I like the color of  the purple in these earrings (and it is my hubby's favorite color!!)  I find myself looking at the earrings wondering how she got the gem to stay in the earring! I have already got a complement on them! They are comfortable to wear and easy to put on! I forgot I had them on last night and slept with them on!

Her store has all sorts of different kinds of jewelry. Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. She is inspired by anything from nature to the classical look!  Some of it is very bright colors and other is just metal! There is nothing in her shop that I don't want to buy (man I wish I was rich! LOL)!!

She also does custom jewelry so honestly your imagination is your only limit when it comes to getting jewelry from her.

Don't take my word for it check out her shop for yourself! Her jewelry is beautiful!

Check out the box she mailed the jewelry in!! I thought it was very creative!!


AND guess what guys while I have this giveaway going on (below) she is giving my readers 25% off using the code firefly! Now how can you past that up?  


If you don't want to wait to see if you win this giveaway then go here.
                                            OR

If you are feeling lucky enter this giveaway!!! Don't miss this one the prize is: winner picks from her jewelry shop 1 piece of jewelry. ANY PIECE!! See how generous she is! :)

Do you like eclectic art? (Armada Volya Artwork review and giveaway!) CLOSED


If you are looking for something eclectic or something more abstract then Armada is a artist worth checking out! This Ukrainian born artist has a real passion for her work.  She has lived in 6 counties and takes a little for each culture that she lived in and puts them into her artwork.  She feels emotions are very complex to draw and uses that as a challenge to herself to put that on paper. She loves the natural world and decided to make it look more abstract than "normal" because it would be more of a challenge. 

It is obvious in the piece she sent me was made out of love for nature with all the twirling vines (I got the letter "J" in same fashion as above) to review. It is obvious she enjoys what she is doing!  She does a really good job on her work!  My son keeps picking it up and tells me he loves it and wants it in his room. This one is water color and ink painted. The colors are very rich, unlike what I get when I use water color!  She also uses acrylics in some of her work too!  

If you would like to buy one of her artworks go here.

BUT
She is also very generous! She is going to let me do a giveaway for her!

You can win one of the letters (like pictured above) from her etsy shop! This would be  GREAT baby gift!  I am going to frame mine and put it in my son's bed room!

Amy Birnbaum Hand crafted artwork


CLOSED


I love this art work. I really do. It brings (to me) a sense of peace and innocents! Something that I have missed since I was a child, so when I was asked if I wanted to do a review and giveaway I was excited to do so and share her work with you! 


She does totally original hand-crafted artwork! It is inspired by
 her children and the farm that she lives on. It is hard to believe that these are paper cut outs! When I got mine I couldn't believe the quality of it! I have been trying to figure out where I want it in my house! I like the idea of it being in my son's bedroom. With the archival quality materials it is great piece that will last a long time! 


How important is the quality of her artwork to her? (from her own words): 
"Each piece is carefully hand-cut from one piece of paper and attached with acid-free glue to rigid art board. They are all hand made; there are no prints. The designs are original and hand sketched, not computer generated. I use black-on-white, white-on-black, and a variety of color combinations"


I am so excited that she wants to do a giveaway because I want to share this artwork with someone else! I love these pieces! She is a very talented artist! I hope that you will enjoy her work as much as I do!


If you are interested in buying the piece above or any of the others go to her shop.


Or if you are feeling lucky you can win $20.00 off your order from her on a custom job!!!
