The Shabby Tea Room- Week #207

Hey everyone,
Just another combined short post today, only because I'm having to use my fathers laptop. Currently I have broken my laptop and my phone so connecting to the internet is a real problem, however I am here and writing to you!
This weeks Shabby Tea room project is right up my street! Its names "Wishi Washi", heres the picture we were given:

I adore this photo! Washi features mostly in my scrapbooking and smashbooking, so adding to my cards was a new concept to me. Of course I'm adding my Shabby Tea Room pieces with MojoMonday sketches. Heres this weeks:

                                                          

The idea of using a tall and skinny card has hit me before and I have tried using them, however the dont sell as well as I thought they would. However, being as keen as I am to do these challenges, I took the bull by the horns and made this! 

                                       

EDIT: Here is the card on etsy!

Of course I couldn't finish this post without showing you all my little haul that came through the post from Hobbycraft.

                                    

I bought myself some more card bases (square and c5), Mothers day themed flower decopatch, Gems, pearls and Tim Holtz Distress Ink. This made my day when I was feeling so yucky!

Thank you for reading today!

Exploring other ideas

Hey all! 

As you probably have guessed by now, my box for storing cards is full! See...

(The box is from TheWorks for £6, I think! I have 3 of them for different craft items)

Pretty full I think you would agree! I've decided that just selling/giving to my friends and family is not getting me anywhere at the moment so selling online is my new idea. I've tried folksy before (when I had my jewellery business, it didn't work for me) so etsy is the best next platform to try. I've heard positive things about etsy, do any of my readers sell on etsy? I'd love to know your thoughts. 

Just a card to end my post about my news, I decided to make this last one this morning to relax.

EDIT: This card is now on etsy! Take a peak.

Much loves all!
