In addition, I will still have my photo announcements from last season and am working some others too! Can't wait to hear from you!

Busy, busy, busy!!

I've been pretty busy with baby announcements and birthday invitations recently.

It's so much easier and more fun when the subjects of the photos are so darn cute!!

Here are a few I've been working on and am so proud of!!

Isn't this a beatiful baby picture? It's breathtaking!!

My birthday cake!!

Here's my psychedelic birthday cake concoction...isn't it crazy!?

The dishes...it took many mixing bowls!

Out of the oven

The first piece...

And it's GOOOD y'all!!

Mae babies!!

I'm absolutely in love with this pattern! These babies are totally customizable to your little ones hair color/style and eye color. They make great "first" babies since they are so soft.

And Happy Birthday to baby Julianna! She'll match your dress perfectly!!

SALE!! SALE!! SALE!!

Hi there guys! I'm having a huge sale on carseat covers right now to dwindle down my inventory and to make some quick cash to bail my serger out of the repair shop. It broke last week and I was devastated...it's like a member of my family and I hate to say it but sometimes I spend more time with it in a day than my own family!! Anyway, I will have some pics posted soon of all the covers with prices so get your paypal ready!

A few new announcements

A few things I've been working on...

Two year birthday announcement for Mackenzie

I also did her one year announcement and her momma liked the same style

Isabella's third birthday invite

and her announcement

Baby Emma's birth announcement from last year...

and her one year announcement to match!

Carseat cover for baby Avey!

I was surprised to find an email in my inbox from Anna, who I made my very first

custom cover for. Turns out she had a neighbor who was expecting a girl and she

wasn't real excited about her boyish carseat she'd used for her son a few years earlier.

They'd already had a fabric in mind and I fell in LOVE with it. I had such a great time

making this cover because it was just so darn cute and mommy Darla was just a dream to

work with. Can't wait to show off some pics of the seat with pretty new baby Avey in it!!

Photo card info...

I've had a ton of emails asking about the announcements so I'll make a post to try to answer any and all questions you may have.

How does this work?

Send me an email with the pics you're wanting to use and an idea of what you're wanting (if you have one!) and we'll go from there. The higher the resolution on them the better, but we can work with what we have.

Can I use professionally taken pictures?

Yes and no. If you have a photographers release form (which is what most independant photographers do) then we're good to go. If you took them at a store or studio, then most likely not.

What sizes do you offer and what are the prices?

I can make 4x6 and 5x7 sizes for announcements/cards and they run .65 and 1.45 each respectively. Orders over 100 will receive .5 off each print. I can also make 8x10 keepsakes but don't have pricing on those at the moment...if you're interested, shoot me an email.

Do they come with envelopes?

I can include envelopes for a charge, depending on the amount of prints purchased.

Can I purchase just the file and print them myself?

Absolutely, but I have to tell you that I run a great price on my prints and you might find it hard to beat at local retailers (Target, Walmart, etc)

What is your turn-around time?

Usually only a day or two, depending on the communication between us.

What kind of paper are they printed on?

They are printed on high quality photo paper, like a photo you'd have made and definitely NOT printed on a home printer. I'd love to have the capability of printing on card stock and doing the fold-over cards but it's just not feasible at this time. If you wish to have that style, you can always purchase the file and them have them printed up at a printer that specializes in that.

Thanks so much and I hope I've answered everything. If you need anything else answered, please send me an email. amber_cozad@sbcglobal.net

Christmas cards!!

Here are a few designs I've been working on...I still can't beleive it's December already!!

I've got so many more ideas in my head, just no time to actually put them together!! If you're looking for a different layout or color scheme, everything is customizable. Be on the lookout for more designs real soon.

Burpees and bibs

Just finished these up for a friend who's expecting on Friday.

That's right, a Halloween baby!! Her "theme" is ladybugs so this is what I whipped up.

The green is my gift to her and the pinks are sewn by me but are being given

by another friend of ours. Amy, if you're reading this, I hope you like them!!

'Nother new diaper bag

Same style, just different fabric. I LOVE this one and want to keep it for myself

but we really don't have use for a dipaer bag anymore :(

This one also comes with a matching changing pad.

Elmo pillowcase dress

What do you think?

New Diaper Bag!!

Don't you just LOVE it?!?! It's completly reversible and is a very large size but not too big. It can also come with a matching changing pad if you wish. Available in a variety of colors and prints, just ask!!
