Sneak Peek & Advice Needed on Upcoming Shop Items

One thing I learned from my Etsy Shop at Christmas, as it was exploding with orders, is that even when there are hundreds of things that come up in a search, if you can design something even nicer, you will succeed! 

My Christmas success was an Engagement Ornament. My sister needed one for her friend and we couldn't find anything we liked.... so I designed one. Based on the amount of orders that came pouring in, I guess others had the same problem!

So now I am trying to come up with the next "big thing" and somehow ended up looking for First Holy Communion stuff. It's there, but it's not amazingly cute (in my opinion!) So I found this adorable little girl and adjusted it a little and made it something I could use on my own projects. (Sorry about the crazy watermarks, I've been having tons of problems with people stealing my designs!)

So far I've put her on an ornament...

I'm working on a banner & matching invitations. My neighbor suggested a bible box or a little box for Rosary Beads. Now I'm trying to think what else I could do.... any ideas or suggestions? Do you think a DIY printable kit would be a good idea with cupcake toppers and such? Or would it be better just to sell them already made?
