Memory Card



I have been toying with an idea for a scrapped card for a while (Thank you Lillie for the inital inspirtation. So took the opportunity to experiment with one for my friends little girl. A Crafting experiment for fun.

I'm really pleased with the result. I enjoyed making it, especially adding the embellishments and working out what should be including inside.I'm looking forward to making my next one and already have 2 orders for them.

A crafty family



Well it's been a busy weekend at home, my parents have been up for the weekend and Dad brought some photographs of my cards which show them better .





He also brought some of his wooden bowls, vases, boxes and sewing needle holders. I'm even more excited that he is going to start making wooden toys again and we will be able to sell them on the site as well.






He wants to see whether people are interested in them and yes.... so far 1 person has said that they are lovelly and would be ordering some in the future.

One off order.....


Just had an e-mail from a customer, would like a anniversary card for her husband. It's their first anniversary.

So after a discussion it was decided that she wanted something that would be in keeping with the colours of her wedding. I went for a nice plain card with an embossed couple on it kissing. The insert inside matches the front of the card. I'm really pleased with it.

The text on the outside reads "for my husband........" and the insert "On our First Anniversary".

I really hope she likes it.

Cerysmatic Creations Open.......

Well I'm proud to announce that Cerysmatic Creations is open. I've decided to blog the progress that I make and to give some "classes" into some of the creations that I sell.

This is linked to my facebook fan page which of course if you are on facebook you can become a fan of and also you can see.

So what news - well I commisioned some photographs for use on the cards from My Photography Studio and I am so pleased with the images that have come out. So far have done 3 different designs involving the baby feet, after a little photoshopping the original picture was transformed into an image with a pink background and a blue background. Got to love the marquee tool.

Now I'm working on a wedding collection with the rose pictures that were taken by My Photography Studio. I have so many ideas for them that I'm not sure where to start.


So next step for me is website design and hosting.
