Heart Shaped Journal and Package Box

I have two new listings of items I really like. These items are both types of items I've been making (journals and boxes), but I tried something different this time.

Red and Gold Marbled Heart Shaped Journal





I've seen all types of shaped books, like mini butterfly books, and I love how you can make something creative out of something we usually think of as pretty basic. This is my first time making a journal with a shape other than rectangular or square and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The heart shape is perfect for Valentine's Day and I used the same decorative paper from this journal. I don't know when people start buying for Valentine's Day, but I just remembered it doesn't always work when I try to list items at my school, so I wanted to get this up this week. I also heard they're working on the Valentine's Day gift guide on etsy.

Mailing Package Box



I got the idea from this one from one of my new bookbinding books. They had an idea for a journal with a package cover like the one I did here and using brown pages inside. I didn't have any brown paper, but I decided the package idea worked great for a box too.

I have lots of other items to list too. I just finished measuring and writing descriptions of a bunch of items so I can post them later. I'm excited etsy has added Google Analytics which tracks statistics for your etsy shop. It will be interesting and hopefully helpful to see what my statistics are.
