She has been around the world and photographed some of our favorite musicians...but now (lucky for us) she is selling her incredible prints on etsy!!!

Jungle Scrapper - handmade card queen!

Here at Lipgloss and Razorblades we are doing a great new giveaway from another awesome crafter! Let me introduce you to Rachel from Jungle Scrapper who is a rockin' stay-at-home mama and wife to a Marine who, like many of us, loves being crafty and creative in her spare time!

www.junglescrapper.etsy.com

Right now her Etsy store is chock full of the most detailed and well-crafted cards and tags you will find around! And dont let the name fool you, Jungle Scrapper has a little something for everyone from safari themes, cupcakes and skulls. I have seen them in person and I was impressed by their quality and her attention to detail! I have done my fair share of paper crafting like scrapbooking, card making, decoupage etc but her cards really show her expertise in this area!

Rachel uses the cutest ribbon and embellishments! And at such an affordable price you can have a beautifully made card that is fit to give at any special event. Cards and tags are not just for giving either people! For the less crafty people, they would be easy to use in your scrapbooking or in a frame paired up with some photos!



Ok, so dont just take my word for it, check out her shop and leave a quick comment here to win this badass girly skull card!

Rockin' Baby Giveaway!

I am super excited about this week's giveaway! I found this great little store called Rocker Bye Baby that has very cool hand sewn items, all done by a mom named Amber! Her stuff is truly well-crafted and is absolutely perfect for hip, edgy moms or for that one-of-a-kind unique baby gift! (ahem, which BTW I am due in May LOL).




So check her store out, she makes everything! Her motto is, "WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN STOCK FOR YOUR BABY TO ROCK!!" and she's not kidding! This rockin mom makes onesies, bibs, burp rags, taggie blankets, changing pads, complete crib sets, etc and even takes custom orders. I personally LOVE having unique baby stuff that no one else has, and you can only get that from artisans like Rocker Bye Baby, not in regular stores! Most of the stuff in stores is a little too foo-foo for me anyway ;)

Tell me if you agree! Leave a comment here and you will be entered to win this gorgeous skull taggie blankie, with which he has coined the term "Skullie!" We all know babies love the tags the best, so these Skullies are chock full of them in different colors and she even adds a ring for pacifiers or other toys. Then she tops it off with the softest chenille and its perfect!

Win a rockin' tote bag from Little Shark Press!

Ok kiddos, we've got a great giveaway this

week! LITTLE SHARK PRESS is an independent screenprinting company creating unconventional designs, using eco-friendly water-based inks and sweatshop-free apparel. Now that rocks!

I know, I know, some of you are sick of the whole "green" thing... and me being pregnant I am definitely guilty of eating some not-so-friendly chicken from McDonalds once in a while... but hey, I can only hope that we still try our best in whichever ways we can to be kind to the earth and its inhabitants. Now with this badass Sugar Skull tote bag you can do it in style! Green doesnt have to be frumpy, people. I would totally use this bag when I go shopping at Michael's instead of using a plastic bag just to buy some jewelry stuff. Or to carry some books and toys when I have to go somewhere with my 2-year old.

Lisa and Scott are the hard workers behind Little Shark Press and they even donate a portion of their proceeds to a worthy cause. So go check out their cool, trendy designs they have in their shop!!

Oh and dont forget to leave your comments and tell us what you think to be entered to win it!

Congrats Chloe! You are the lucky winner of this AWESOME prize! Special Thanks to Barretzz! We apreciate all you talented crafters and all our readers who support them!!

Come shop with me this Sat!

Looking for unique gifts this year? Then not only are you at the right blog, but I will be selling my funky, kitsch jewelry items at this huge Craftorama this Sat! Come see me!!

We gals here at Lipgloss and Razorblades firmly believe that handmade gifts are not only unique and one of a kind in contrast to the typical Target and Walmart wares (even tho we love those stores) but when you buy directly from an artisan you are helping the economy in the most most effective way possible... by supporting that artist and their family directly! They in turn have a lil' extra money to spend boosting the economy too. And we all know times are tough right now, but where you choose to spend your dollar can make all the difference this holiday season :)

Much love, Stacy M.
