Today's featured item is a popular item for anyone.  These polished black marble tiles are beautifully engraved with text, clipart, logos and of course, photos!  Laser engraving leaves a white image for high contrast to the black marble.  Each tile also comes with a wooden stand for easy and immediate display.

These black marble tiles come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  You can choose from Square, Rectangle, Oval, Circles and a Heart.

These marble tiles are sure to get attention as your home decor as it stands out from the traditional photo frames.

Customers have used these tiles in a number of ways:

♦Attached to pet urns as a photo memorial

♦Hanging on a wall with plate hangers

♦Stepping or Memorial stones for a garden

Black marble is an excellent material for outdoor memorials.  The engraving is permanent and will not wash off or wear away in the weather.   While it's went, it does lose some contrast in the image, however it comes back as it quickly dries off.

Featured Item: Engraved Marble Coasters

Happy Monday to Everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!

Today, I started a sale on my Artfire account for all Engraved Marble Gift Items.  So, I will be featuring an item every day pertaining to the sale.  You can visit the Artfire Studio at http://www.pictureitcreations.artfire.com.

Today's featured item is a personal favorite of mine.  This is a black marble coaster set.  The set includes 4 coasters and the storage caddy.

Our Marble items can be photo engraved.  I have sold several sets over the last couple years.  They really do make great gifts from housewarming to Christmas, these can be treasured forever.  The engraving will never fade or wear off. 

For Christmas in 2008, I made a set for each Grandparent from my kids.  Each coaster showcased a different grandchild.  I had to make an extra coaster for my mom for her step-granddaughter to have a coaster also.  If extra coasters are needed, that is not a problem.  Five fit comfortably in the caddy.

I also had a large order of coasters this past Christmas season for 100 coasters.  The client was passing them out to his employees as a company gift and he wanted each coaster with their logo on it.

Another Great Discovery!

A few weeks ago, I was referred another online selling community for handmade items.  I've been signed with Artfire for a few weeks but never had the chance to play around with it.  They are having a promotion right now allowing all pro account users to invite five friends and receive the discounted price of $12/mo (regularly ($15.95/mo).  I figured me procrastinating was finally a good thing.  I found a pro account user to invite me (since I had no friends that had heard of Artfire) and I signed up immediately.  That was yesterday.  Since then, I've imported all of my Etsy listings, listed a few others (very easy to do), customized my studio, joined their Guilds (groups), chatted in peer forums, got a little jump start on my blog, and started on my previous order gallery.  Plus, they have the same great referral program as Zibbet - for every premium account you refer, you get $1 taken off of your monthly fee. And of course it's free to list and free to sell unlimited items.

So, I'm loving Artfire too!

You could also sign up for the free basic account to get a feel for things first but there are so many more features under the pro account. Well worth it!

Paperweight Doubles as a Trophy

I immediately loved the idea of this order when it came in.  A local customer requested that her Black Marble Chisel Edged Paperweight be engraved to act as a trophy for a Euchre Tournament.  She created an image using the card as the base theme.  She added in her own text and fonts to create the perfect award!

Spring is in the air!

It seems like just a couple weeks ago, we were recovering from 2009 and celebrating 2010. Now, here we are, half way through March already? Don’t get me wrong, I love the warmer weather, the birds chirping in the morning, grilling out. I’m not complaining but my schedule is about to fill up fast with birthday parties, family reunions and holidays. Don’t forget that Mother’s Day is just around the corner and of course Father’s Day immediately following. It seems a little early to be thinking about it still, but with everything going on, it’s not a bad idea to plan ahead.

Visit our website to keep up with the hottest gifts for Mom and Dad this year. We’ll be featuring some new and popular items and of course big SALES!

We are also quickly approaching what I like to call the Wedding season. If you are attending or a part of a wedding this season, now is the time to contact us for personalized gifts for the bridal party, parents of the bride and groom or personalized favors for the guests.
