I'm back for 2007! :) My name is Nikki and I have been selling my layouts (one and two page)/ page kits / paper piecings, mini albums and elements on eBay since the start of 2002. It's been such a wonderful experience and I have met so many wonderful ladies and men who enjoy the scrapbooking craft/hobby as much as I do because of it. I have met some wonderful friends!
I took time off in the summer of 2006 to move back to our home state of California, we moved into our first home and am now expecting our third child (a GIRL). I also took up a part time job at a Church school, plus I have been going to school myself, so these things have kept me busy the last few months. I have missed eBay so much and now that I am pregnant I tend to be up all hours of the night like my first two pregnancies, so I thought well heck I can start making stuff for eBay again since I have missed it so much :) plus I have a ton of new ideas I would love to create.
Let me tell you a little more about myself...I share my ebay name with my husband who only really uses it for buying model cars and airplanes (This is his hobby). I have been scrapbooking for about 6 1/2 years now. I love it, it is a great hobby.My favorite aspect of scrapbooking would have to be journaling, I love the fact that journaling allows us to capture precious moments, storytelling on paper from the photos we take (this is why on my work I almost always include a few spots for your journaling to be added). I hand make everything, No computer paper piecings here, I HAND make mine with a pen, chalk and cardstock, they are all detailed by me, I take great pride in the quality of my paper piecings, layouts and kits. For the most part when I am not working at the church school I am a SAHM to two young boys (3 1/2 and 6 years old) and our first Daughter on the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom!
I love scrapbooking my kiddos memories. It means so much to me to make their albums, and I can already tell they enjoy looking at them. That is why I have so much fun making these page kits and paper piecings for you! They also help me bring in extra money which is always a plus, right? hee hee. eBay is my creative outlet and I just love it. I use quality acid free, lignin free, and photo safe materials on everything I make and love to keep up with the current trends and products out on the SB market. I put alot of time and LOVE into each kit I make. I am a paper piecer and add one in almost every page kit I make for ebay to add that extra special element to a page kit. I try to create a variety of things for you, sometimes I make 1 page layouts that are almost exactly like ones I have made for my own personal books, I have made many themed 2 page 12x12 layouts, elements, mini albums etc. It takes me a whole day just to make ONE kit, I put alot of time and hard work into each piece I hope you enjoy my handmade items, I love making them for you! :) I am a DT member for a wonderdul scrapbook Kit club littleredscrapbook.com. I have also worked for a few other companies on Design Teams or just doing special assignments for product companies. I have also been published In scrapbooking magazines, Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbook Trends, Memory Makers, CARDS magazine etc. I have had my layouts and cards published in Ideabooks, Manufacturer catalogs and in online stores, if you would like a list of these you can click on my Scrapbook BIO link. I guess you can say I enjoy doing all things scrapbook related, it's a wonderful hobby! All my items come from a Smoke free home, I do own a beautiful persian Cat named Gizmo (or like my boys like to call him, ''Baby kitty'' lol) but he is hardly ever in my room and if he is he just sits in the window, not near my supplies, so please know everything is safe!
I have included a few samples of my work here, some past ebay kits/layouts and some of my own personal layouts or layouts I have customized just for people who request them. If you would like to see my gallery of over 100+ paper piecings I have made for people please click the link below.
A little side note on shipping and payment-
Shipping- The winning bidder pays $4.95 for priority shipping this includes delivery confirmation so we can both track your package, within the US, I chose Priority USPS shipping to insure that your packages are safe, they are the best way to send 12x12 elements/layouts/page kits and smaller elements in smaller priority boxes, If it is a kit or elements that are not on background paper (Loose elements), I will send them USPS first class mail for $2.50 in the US, but YOU MUST let me know you want this method of shipping on smaller items, if you do not, I will send priority. Another plus to priority mail is you get your goodies in 2-3 days, LOVE that right :) Also I will gladly combine shipping for you, if you win more than one of my auctions during 1 weeks time of the listing of the first auction you win, please email me to let me know you are bidding on a second auction. Shipping insurance is optional and up to you, if you would like it please add it in the spot for it during check out, it will be $1.35 extra.
Please contact me for shipping rates outside of the US.
Payment- Winning Bidder please contact me within 3 days of auction close. Payment is due within 5 days of auction close. I prefer paypal but will accept money orders.
WOW! phew, if you have read this far I thank you so much, and I hope to get a chance to work with you :)
