What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? http://designdolcezza.etsy.com
What tag categories do you specialize in? Paper Goods (scrapbooks & cards)
Do you create for children or adults, women or men? My products appeal to people of all ages: usually adults do the scrapping and kids get scrapped!
What do you like about Etsy? Etsy shops provide big opportunity with little outlay or risks. For someone with a talent to share, what’s not to love? I particlularly enjoy learning on the forums and working with all of you on the EtsyNJ team. It’s great to be part of the handmade revolution.
Where do you find inspiration for your products? Lots of places! Inspiration is really everywhere. I think my husband and baby, my friends and neighbors, as well as my travels throughout America and Europe . Often, the patterned paper I’m working with will “tell” me what it wants to become.
What do you love about your business? I love working with my hands and preserving memories, which is so very important. Helping others do the same is truly rewarding.
What is your favorite product right now? My favorite is the lunchpail album it can function as beautiful décor, a fun conversation starter, and more importantly, it encourages people to save and share memories, their real treasures, with anyone who enters their home. What a welcome!
What makes you unique at Etsy? Having studied art at Rutgers University Mason Gross School of the Arts and the Louvre in Paris , as well a having seen in person much of the great art and architecture, my life experiences have given my unique eye for design. From 2004-2006, I was a member of the Design Team at http://www.theperfecttitle.com. I have completed Bachelors and Masters of Scrapbooking programs through Scrapbook Design University®, seminars at Memories Expo™, Creating Keepsakes Conventions. My work has been published in Memories Community Magazine and Scrapbooking your Wedding (Memory Makers Books, 2004). In creating my own hand-crafted art, I’ve found my true artistic calling and I’m here to share it!

We Shop Local, We Shop EtsyNJ, Part 2
Here at EtsyNJ, we love each other! Not only do we help promote each other, offer advice on pricing, handling difficult situations, taking great photos and so much more, but we also support each other by shopping! Just take a look at some of the things that EtsyNJ members have bought from each other. You'll recall from this post a few weeks ago, that we are our own best customers. Here's even more EtsyNJ love!
LizArti was so excited about her first 100 hearts (as she should be) that she celebrated by purchasing this necklace from Karin's Creations:
She also couldn't resist this vintage snowflake brooch from Made By Melissa and snapped it up instantly!
And she's really happy that she did!!
I'm sure you remember all the EtsyNJ shops that Creations By Danielle has supported, well, amazingly, here is one more!! Danielle bought these two barrettes from orchidsdream and here's what she has to say about that purchase: "I loved her hair accessories and asked her to custom make a barrette for me. She had two to chose from and I couldn't decide so I bought both! She was a pleasure to deal with. Promptly responding to convos and friendly person! :) I was very pleased."
Collective Elements is a big fan of Lemoncholy's work. She bought four items from her at the Handmade Faire this past April and has this to say about her: "She truly is a talented artist. I wear the dove necklace almost everyday and I always get compliments on it."
Wow! EtsyNJ members really take pride in each other and we take the Handmade Pledge seriously! Way to go team!!
Do you want to support EtsyNJ too? Click here to check out all EtsyNJ members! Did you buy something from EtsyNJ? Do you absolutely love it and want to share it with the world wide web? Simply send a convo to Made By Melissa and we'll feature it and your shop link on our blog!

Featured Artist - Scrap Lisa Designs
Who are you? Lisa
What is your Etsy Shop Name/link? http://scraplisa.etsy.com
What tag categories do you specialize in? Scrapbooking, Cards, Tags, Judaica
Do you create for children or adults, women or men? Everyone who loves to take pictures!
What do you like about Etsy? I like that everything is handmade, that it is an international site that brings crafters together with like minded people.
Where do you find inspiration for your products? My wants and desires, I create items that my friends and I always want to use in our personal albums!
What do you love about your business? I love that people are preserving their cherished memories in something that I created, that current and future generations will be able to share in the daily lives, special occasions, and holidays that families celebrate year after year.
What is your favorite product right now? Right now, I love Die Cuts with a View Christmas Glitter Stack papers. Traditional Christmas colors jazzed up with silver and gold glitter. Really makes the pages go BLING!
What makes you unique at Etsy? I try to create items that anyone can use at an affordable price. If you like to take pictures, you can use my products with ease. I’m a stay at home mom, and always on the hunt for a good bargain so I price accordingly! Additionally, as a Jewish Scrapbooker, I have found it hard to buy any type of Judaica items to use in my work. It is my hope is to create beautiful Jewish items such as cards, invitations, tags, albums, etc., that people can use to make treasured, everlasting memories with their families.
What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create? thesagathatismylife.blogspot.com
Lisa has scrapbooks for every holiday as well as books that you can use for any and all of your pictures! I really like her pink and yellow scrapbook.
And you better snatch this Halloween album before its gone!
