29 and holding?

So yesterday - Saturday - i spent the day at a crop . Crop your stash type crop. ABBA music going with a break for Mama Mia, and then more music! it was a hoot! got 29 cards made - no sentiments on the cards yet - i took the kitchen sink along but forgot the sentiments. ? anyway - these 5 cards are made from 3 sheets of cardstock and one sheet of patterned paper by Webster's Pages (love that paper!) Paper Trails has the "kit" it's a good challenge to make 4 cards from the 4 sheets of paper and then post your cards in the store for everyone to see. you can add embellishments but no more paper.


Go and check it out if you get a chance! i used a lot of little things to make these, like.... hambly rub ons, Maya road chipboard, cuttlebug embossing folders, ink, ribbon, lace, metal letters and paper clip, stickles, tulle and brads. punches....







i made a few other cards (29 in total). used up quite a bit of scraps - works for me! a lot of these were lifts from Paper Trends Cards magazines. love that 'zine.
while we were talking and laughing... something Melina (awesome chickie) said, got me to thinking (always a dangerous thing). she suggested that i try and sell these in an Etsy shop. whacha think? would someone buy these? and how much should i charge? ..... just thinking outloud. any suggestions or ideas. cuz really. i do have enough cards. i just keep making them and i've sent tons away but still. to make some $ at this? that'd be sweet.
now off i go to put sentiments on those.... carpe the week!
and hey - if you want some of these - let me know ....
