Want to Make Custom Scrabble Tile Pendants, Scrabble Tile Accessories, or Learn Other DIY Scrabble Tile Crafts?

You've come to the right place! I have tutorials! Original Scrabble Tile Jewelry Tutorial, Custom Photo Jewelry Tutorial, Scrabble in Style v. I (77 Fun & Fresh Scrabble tile crafts) and of course, the ScrabbleGal Bundle for those who want to learn it all and get the biggest bang for their buck! :)

MAJOR TIP FOR NEWBIES:

Do not purchase Scrabble tile collage sheets with the intention that you will simply be able to print them out on your home printer and use them for your Scrabble crafts. I've received numerous convos (that's short for conversations) from people on Etsy who can't figure out why the Scrabble tile collage sheets they bought from other sellers don't work! Printing these collage sheets on regular paper, even photo paper on your home printer, will just result in a blurry mess. Sellers are advertising them as "just print and use" but they don't work like that :(. If the images don't blur on you after a few hours, they will after a few days. So please keep this in mind!


Don't want to use Japanese papers? I have a great list of alternatives to Japanese papers in my Scrabble in Style v. I E-Book.

Playing with your food....


Yup! Veggies play Scrabble too!

Some of the cute comments this photo has received:

"How'bout it. That darn cauliflower has his little tomatoe buddy looking at my tiles! And that celery has a total height advantage. He thinks he's so cool because he's the tallest. A rotten bunch these are!"

"that cauliflower is totally looking at your tiles. but I'd look out for the celery, if I were you. I mean it has 8 tiles on its rack. that's not kosher!I love, love, LOVE scrabble.This is so awesome :)"

1 Month Etsy Anniversary! :)

Today marks the end of my 1st month with Etsy!

I've had a blast! I've had 55 sales, earned over 100 hearts from my fellow Etsians and have met the most incredible people through the forums, chats and of course my buyers! :)

Here's just a sample of the amazing feedback my buyers have left me!

"Great instructions, seller is very helpful!!!"

"Not only is this a great ebook with a fresh take on scrabble tiles, but the service was EXCELLENT!! Thank you!"

"What a wonderful tutorial! I've never seen any instructional ebook more professionally done than this one. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning this craft to purchase this promo pack. You will learn invaluable tips and tricks and be on your way to creating beautiful Scrabble jewelry (and the likes) on your own. Laura is wonderful to work with!"

"The tutorial arrived very quickly and communication with TheScrabbleGal has been great! After looking through all the tutorials I am anxious to give this Scrabble tile thing a try. Thanks for the great offer."

"You rock girl! This is a fabulous deal! I was already making Scrabble tile jewelry, but it looks like this has SO much useful info. Great job! You can tell a lot of work went into this E-Book."

"What a great set of tutorials! I'm sitting here right now with my scrapbook papers and an old set of Scrabble tiles. Leaving Mod Podge on the keyboard. :)"

"Within 15 minutes of my payment, the item arrived in my inbox! Awesome! It definitely includes info promised plus some! I will have fun gettin' creative! :)"

"These ebooks are very well done, very professional. Easy to understand, great pictures, excellent directions. This is a bargain! Thanks!"

You Know You're Addicted to Etsy When.....

* "Nobody in the family gets any food or clean clothes!"

* "Etsy is the first thing you run to in the moring and the last thing you see at night . . ."

* "OK this is a true story, last week I threw my back out and was in bed flat on my back for 2 days. It hurt to even breath. My husband asked me if there was anything he could get me and with so much agony in my voice I said just my laptop. He rolled his eyes and said you have issues!!"

* "Yes, my home page is etsy.com. ALso, I have dreams about etsy regularly! One dream was you could see who was looking at your items. I've had other dreams and awoke thinking, did that really happen?"

"You know you're addicted when you have nightmares that you have shipped the wrong items to folks, only to wake up in the middle of the night and check your inventory!lol: )"

MY FAVORITE:

"When your in church the whole time you pray that by the time you get home you've made a sale."
