NEW RELEASE – Alice Is Wonderful ScrapKit.

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

It’s been a long while since we released a Scrapkit but it’s been worth the wait, here is, our very first, cute and whimsical ALICE IS WONDERFUL kit !!!  In the earliest kits there werent papers but seamless tilable patterns for you to fill your own papers up with ! This new kit has 15 PAPERs, at 900 px x 900 px, 72 dpi, as they are for digital scrapbooking, or tagging only!

Please remember we’re starving artists, especially now poor Suzanne is suffering so much right now, please dont share these kits, sharing kits really does just deny us a few bucks it costs to buy it!! If you like it, pay for it, please : ) ( we might come  back in a few days rattling tin cans for your spare change too, watch out!! : ) )

There’s more items AND papers than is actually shown here, but you get the idea of whats included : ) Here’s our latest addition to the shop…

Guest Giveaway Results & A Little Surprise

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Hello everyone, those who joined us in the Artist Chat last night knew that there was something special being released tonight, and here it is, drumroll please !

My Little Vampire

My Little Vampire

A new gorjuss Vampire, I know how much you all love Vamps and here is one for you, available as a print now!  And what about TUBES I hear you ask?

Bundle Preview

The gorjuss Vampire Bundle , contains the Vampire girl as an individual tube ( Tube plus Image), and a super set of 4 Quick Tags, all suitably Vampire themed too !  They are only available as this special bundle so grab them quick : )

The actual size isnt accurate on the preview as I had to make the preview half the size of the original HUGE previews I normally supply you with ! The Quick Tags are a big 750 pixels square, much to big to use as a tag, so remember to resize down for your groups, but a great size to work with so you can see all your details : )

Here’s an example of both, and of course a lovely snagtag:

snag me, I’m yours!

You can find this great VAMPIRE BUNDLE in the shop now!

MEET THE ARTIST – CHAT NIGHT

CHat reminder

We dont do artist chat nights often but we ALWAYS do one for the JustGorjus groups Birthday celebrations!  We hope you’ll join us, and if you do, sometimes it can help if you write down some questions you’ve always wanted to ask, before the chat starts!  Please log in and check you can access the chatroom before it starts, and its also best to GET THERE EARLY as it can get crowded, and once it gets crowded it can be difficult for some people to gain access, we are sorry about this but there’s nothing we can do, other than to tell you to GET THERE EARLY! : )

**Please note I’ll do my best to type to you for as long as I can but bare in mind I’m still in a lot of pain, I may need Mr G to type for me at stages but I WILL be listening to what you guys are typing!

Meet Our Guest…

  Question Hello Guest Giveaway lovely! Please tell us a little bit about you , who are you, where you’re from!??
Answer My name is Marissa and I live in New Jersey. I love living close to New York City, and not too far from the ocean.

Question Tell us about what you make & your inspiration?
AnswerI make handcrafted jewelry. I began a few years ago and my love for jewelry making just grows and grows. It is a wonderful creative outlet, and being able to share my creations with others is the real prize. I try to be inspired by soft and simple designs, and I like the bohemian look.  I love layered necklaces. Sometimes I am all over the place and then I have to remind myself that my shop should look, at least to some extent, like a collection!

Question What is your favourite item to make/sell ?
Answer I absolutely adore working on custom items. Just ask, chances are I’d be happy to make it! Oh and I love to search for cool vintage pieces to reconstruct into jewelry. I think something old combined with something new is my favorite style.

Question Do you have any favourite Etsy items you’ve bought?
AnswerThe sea salt bars from magichands.etsy.com..long lasting, excellent soaps.
The “Smiling Buddha Soy Candle” from MrsTattooedGeek.etsy.com..this is the most amazing scented candle, very relaxing.  The “AMOR VINCIT OMNIA” bowl from palomasnest.etsy.com. (LOVE conquers all!!)  And of course my beautiful banner, which I love so so much, from SeaDreamStudio.etsy.com

Question Do you have any other websites people can find you?
AnswerI have a facebook fan page, and I like to list special promotions for facebook fans!

Find me here: http://www.facebook.com/SUGARLILACetsy

I have also just begun to work on a blog. It is still in the beginning stages but I can promise to entertain you once it gets going!  http://sugarlilac.blogspot.com

Question Whats the best advice you’ve ever been given?
AnswerTreat others the way you want to be treated. The golden rule! You are no better than anyone else, and no one is better than you.   My parents must have said this to me a million times growing up, and I am thankful it made me into who I am today.

Question Anything else you’d like to say?
Answer  I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being featured here! Wishing you all a beautiful and happy summer!!! Full of sunshine.
