Update :)

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing well! Just a quick update about me. My husband is in the hospital due to having two surgeries last week. Not really sure on when he'll be discharged from the hospital just yet. I'm gonna close up shop on facebook next week on the 8th to the 16th. I can't give details just yet. I will on the 8th! I am currently working on a Valentine's Day scrapbook page for Jenna and a bunch of mother's day cards. I'm trying out my new Simply Charmed cartridge. And so far I love it! If anyone is selling any cartridges, let me know!

The Beginning to Jenna's Scrapbook

Here is a scrapbook page I did for Jenna. I used the Baby Steps cartridge for the baby in the bottom right hand corner of the page. I used stamps for the date, her weight, her height, and her name and wrote the rest of the information for them. I used a stamp that says " It's a girl" in the bottom right hand of the info. I used a ultra sound picture when we found out the sex and used light pink card stock as a border at the top right. We take pictures of her when she was just about three weeks old in the bottom left hand corner. I just love that hat and how she is positioned in this picture. So cute! And I did a half border of that picture in a dark color of pink card stock. And I got to try out my new watermark! I just love it! That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Big News!

So for the past two days, my husband and I have moved into a new apartment! I most say I love it A LOT! We went from a tiny one bedroom to a big two bedroom! Jenna finally has her own room now that I get to decorate! I'm so excited. Our new place is still a mess because we haven't unpacked everything yet. My husband and I have been working super hard to get our old apartment cleared out and cleaned. And I closed my shop on facebook for the past week so we could get ready for our move. But I am now back open and ready for business! I worked on a few things tonight. I have at least 13 packages going out on Monday! Well, that's all I got for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Cupcake Birthday Card

Here is a card I had for my sister's birthday that is coming up pretty soon. I used the Cricut Lite Cupcake cartridge for this card. I used a lot of bright colors for this card because my sister is weird and funky that way. I  don't have the measurements to this again because I like to wing it and it looks good to me! I did the top layer to the cupcake in purple cheetah print card stock from Michael's with the letter C in the middle for my sister's name, and the second layer to the cupcake in neon green card stock. I did the card part in hot pink card stock. I put lime green ribbon along the middle of the cupcake to make it look pretty. :) I used a happy birthday stamp on the inside in black ink. I made the envelope from the Platin Schoolbook cartridge. I used it in neon green card stock and I put a little zebra print C sticker on the back to hold the flap down but it didn't work so well, so I put tape to hold the rest of the flap down. Don't mind the crappy cell phone picture. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Girl Card

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a good day. Here is a card that I made for my friend since she is having a baby shower this weekend. She is having a girl. I used the Baby Steps cartridge for the baby on the front and used Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the envelope. I think Baby Steps is the cutest cartridge! I used clear stamps from Michael's and black ink from Michael's. I don't remember measurements because I just winged it and thought everything look good. And please excuse my mess in the background. It's my little area that I have in our little apartment. I have too much stuff for that little area. I'll post a scrapbook page I did for Jenna tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

First Blog Post EVER! :)

So this is my first blog post! I've always wanted to start a blog but never got into it until now. So here is a little bit about myself. My name is Codi. I am from Florida and 19 years old. I currently live in the Washington state with my husband Michael and daughter Jenna. Michael is in the Army and this is where we are stationed. I started getting into crafts when Jenna and I moved here. I would be melting my brain to the television because I would be at home while Michael would be at work all day. So, I starting looking up YouTube videos on how to make hair bows. I went out to our nearest Michael's store and bought a bunch of ribbon to start making bows for Jenna. I was making so many that people were telling me to sell them. And I do now! I'm on Facebook and Etsy. Click here for my Facebook page and here for my Etsy shop. I got a Cricut expression for Christmas and I'm IN LOVE with it! I have only have made a few cards and a scrapbook page for Jenna so far because I only five cartridges to create from. I learned the ins and outs of the Cricut from My Pink Stamper on her YouTube channel and from her blog. She makes the cutest cards and she has her own stamp line. I don't have any yet but I'm working on it! So that is a little bit about me. I'll post my creations as I make them. Thanks for stopping by!
