EIC #126 {Glow Girl}

Welcome back EIC friends! 

We have a great shop to check out this week--Glow Girl. What a fun way to carry around your coupons! And Glow Girl also sells tote bags and snack baggies. FUN! Check these out:::

Here is a bit of information about Glow Girl:: My inspiration for starting this business was - I'd lost a great 15 yr position that I thought I'd be retiring with...was in a panic realizing that as a 50 yr old, I was going up for jobs against younger and better educated folks than me. The challenge was on! I decided to step out of the corporate world and return to my crafty roots (I had a successful crafts business in the 80's). I bought a sewing machine, learned how to sew...and fell upon some cool upholstery fabrics and starting making grocey/tote bags. Was starting to successfully sell them at craft fairs and told my husband I'd start clipping coupons to help save money...didn't like the store bought ones and designed this for myself, and they quickly became my best selling items! Had a set-back in late 2009, breast cancer, and my etsy store became my sole source of income, and also provided me with some peace of mind as I spent almost a year battling cancer. I missed two holiday seasons of craft shows b

ut etsy was a godsend for me, both emotionally and financially. I'm now fully back on my feet, planning shows for 2011 and getting ready to expand my lines and soar!

Our sponsor this week is The Stamping Boutique. The Stamping Boutique has digital and rubber stamps for sale--as well as a challenge site {click HERE}! These stamps are super cute--whimsical and adorable!! Here is some information about The Stamping Boutique:: 'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique.
My team and I are very happy to sponsor Etsy Inspired. My store has been open since September 2009.I am currently a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Co. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as,
their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

Welcome Ann Cox our February Guest Designer!

This month we have another FABULOUSLY talented guest designer - Ann Cox!  Make sure you give Ann a warm welcome!

Here's a little info about Ann...

I'm a busy high school English teacher who loves to unwind by getting my craft on! I dabbled in cardmaking for a few years before becoming a serious addict two years ago. My style is clean & simple, I'm not afraid of bright colors, & I simply cannot own enough ribbon or bling.  I'm very excited about joining the EIC team this month!

Here's a couple of Ann's designs she wanted us to share...

And here is one of my favs....

Look forward to some amazing projects coming your way this month!  Welcome Ann!
