Special Memorial Keepsake

Hello all well I have some very special keepsake memorial cards to share with you all.

I was recently asked by an old school friend/repeat customer to make her 4 memorial bookatrix keepsake cards for herself and 3 family members which were cousin,brother,son and nephew. I have already made such a thing for her in the past a memorial keepsake of her mum, so when she asked me to do her 4 in memory of her cousin I was highly honoured to do them for her.

Everything she asked me to do I have done, from the colours of the keepsakes the pictures she chose which I edited with her cousin's name date of birth and the date of his passing, the finishing touches (skull and crossbones) the skull and crossbones is a Digi stamp designed by Teri at Delicious Doodles  including the verses, I did the verses and then sent them to her for her approval to which she was over the moon with I also did an added extra for her which was to put her cousins name down the centre of the ribbon.

 I also agreed to send her pictures via a message once they were complete and her response was second to known, this is what she had to say about them "Kelly they are amazing and absolutely amazing, thank you again you are an absolute star." she also said "They are absolutely perfect sweet, Love em :) got a lump in my throat."

So here they are 

I was over the moon with her response as we did have a few problems along the way of getting them done and when they were the first time, she admitted to a mistake she had made of the day of his passing, so I re-edited the pictures, re-printed them and then replaced them on the keepsakes.

The end product I could not have been more happy with even though we did have a few problems which were soon sorted, she has even said she will recommend me to her family and make sure they know who has made them and is passing on my details. The one thing I have been asked is to not put them on Facebook as of yet, as 3 of them are a surprise for her family members once they have seen them they will then be added to my customer order album on Facebook, so others can see what I have done.

Even though it was such a sad occasion to be doing a keepsake for I still enjoyed doing it as it was made easy for me as the customer knew exactly what she wanted and that is what she got plus a bit more, as a lot of love care and thought went into each and everyone of them.

Crazy Crafting Times

Hello all, 

well it's lovely and sunny here today which makes a change hehe, I have been working on some new Bookatrix Keepsakes along with 2 new styles of keepsakes which I have not done before and I must say I am quite proud of how they have turned out YAY!!!.

I have also been working on some other card's but mainly the Bookatrix Keepsakes, I haven't been able to do as much as I would have liked due to my health still not being 100% horrible chest infection, fibro flare ups, migraines, feeling down you name it it's happening :(. 

I have even struggled to get my head together to do some challenge makes for Delicious Doodles :( *cries*, So I just want to say a BIG Sorry to you all but mainly to Teri for not being able to get any done, lack of sleep and lack of mojo do not help, But I will be back in full swing for the next challenge for Team B.

So on a little more of a positive note here is what I have been able to do

Very Special Baby Loss Keepsake

Hello all me again :) 

Well I wanted to share with you all my latest make, which is one of many to come for this range of keepsakes. It is a Baby Loss memorial Bookatrix Keepsake for a little girl.

I am also donating 50% of sales from each sale made of these direct to Staffordshire Sands which is a Neonatal and Death Charity which supports parents and families who have been through such a sad time of loosing a child either through born sleeping,miscarriage or neonatal. I am also a fundraiser for the charity and very proud to be apart of such a excellent charity. This charity is also very close to my heart and I will do what ever I can to help to raise much needed awareness and funds for this cause, so many parents go through the loss of a child and don't know about Staffordshire Sands until they are told by somebody else, so myself and the committee members want to get the word out as much as possible. Staffordshire Sands is apart of UK-Sands, to know more you can check out the websites which are:

Staffordshire Sands

UK- Sands

Loosing a child can be very devastating not just for the parents but also for other family members, hence why I have done this new range so that parents etc can remember there Angel Babies in a special way with a unique and one of a kind keepsake.

An Angel Opened The Book Of Life

To Record A Baby’s Birth

And Whispered As She Closed The Book,

Too Beautiful For Earth’

Every part of these unique keepsakes are handmade with love and care the image on this one has been hand coloured using Promarkers

These can be made to suit your requirements for both boy and girl or in neutral colours to remember your Angel in anyway you would like, You can even have a picture of your Angel added to the keepsake and have it personalised in anyway you would like.

To order just visit my facebook page 

Kelly's Enchanted Castle

and message me through there with your requirements or you can email me at 

kellysenchantedcastle@live.co.uk

I hope you like what I have done and help to spread the word of SANDS and what we do
