New in My Shop

Good Monday Morning Everyone!

I’m feeling quite happy today because I was called for Jury Duty and they said I could go home and that I don’t have to report until tomorrow. So yay for me!

I’ve got some new items in my shop to share with you! I was so busy this last week making loads of cards to share with you and keep my store fresh and exciting - I really think I hit the nail on the head with these cards! So, let's get started!

This is my new "Wanna Cuddle" card, available in my shop. I made use of my favorite Martha Stewart scalloped punch for this card and paired the girl with some fluttery pink bug backgrounds. I matched buttons and hemp cord with this to finish it off! So cute, and layered inside too!
 

Next is this super cute crafting card for the person you know that's super crafty. It's a little gal selling her crafty goodness! ;) I paired her with layered tags. One is printed, one is embossed, and the yellow tag has a little angel stamped onto it in shadow pigment. The tags are tied off with hemp cord, paired with a 'she's crafty' banner and mounted onto layered colorful star paper. There are rivets on the corner of each of the crafty lady's table.



I worked all Saturday on this uber cute ‘thinking of you’ card that features Rose from Bombshell Stamps. This card was originally supposed to be an accordion card, but I decided that I liked it more if I attached the first tier down to the second tier. So it turned out to be a regular card, with a lot of dimension! I love how it turned out!!!




Thanks for checking in today!
If you love what you see, hop on over to my shop and take a gander at what I've got!
Follow this blog too, for a chance to win my blog candy! :D
Cheers!

How To Effectively Sell: Part III - FABG!

Hello All, Let me preface this post by saying that the FABG selling technique is not my original idea. When I was in commission sales I read a selling book that saved my life (and my paycheck) by Harry J. Friedman called "No Thanks, I'm Just Looking". While not the most well written book, Friedman does a great job of explaining how his years in the industry have helped him to form his professional retail sales techniques and turn shoppers into buyers. I recommend you pick this book up! It has saved my bacon many many times!! So, What *is* FABG? FABG stands for Feature, Advantage, Benefit, Grabber. Any item can be FABG'ed. Features - features are parts of the piece. Either a part of the piece or a characteristic of the piece. Often times this is the size, color, texture, materials used, etc. Advantages - this is tied directly to the features of the item. An advantage is what the customer will gain from the feature. Friedman uses the phrase "which means...

Artist's Collective #3 - Maeve Brennan

Image
I first heard about Maeve after reading Kate Bolick's  Spinster    at the beginning of 2016. (At first I hated this book, but then it grew on me as Kate's story continued, but I digress.) Brennan is one of Kate's Five Awakeners and consequently, one of the people in my Artist Collective. I think that Maeve lived the life that she wanted to live and I think because of that she is a strong female role model. Suffice it to say, Maeve Brennan was thought-provoking at the least. I've included Maeve in my Artist Collective series because she inspires me to challenge myself artistically. She wrote in one way or another her entire life, even toward the end when she literally had nothing left. There are people who talk about doing something, being a creative and producing work, and then there are the people who actually DO it.  Maeve reminds me that life is short and you need to live your passion because it can all be taken away in the blink of an eye.
