My Princess's Party Preparations

My little princess is going to be turning 4 at the end of the month. She wanted a princess themed party. She loves to play dress up and play with my purses so I took a design for one of the Originals card confidence programs and created this 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 tri fold purse invitation. After I made my template, I let the client, Madi, see it and she LOVED it! It is so rewarding knowing how much my kids love their homemade invitations.

If you want to create beautiful, one of a kind invitations or cards I can show you how!

Send a Smile in the Mail

My Children reminded me yesterday how much fun it is to receive mail. I got a "package" from the nice man in brown and my son wanted to know why he never gets packages. He wanted to know when he was going to start getting packages and mail too. Later in the day the children received an invitation to a birthday party and their faces lit up! This reminded me how much I enjoyed getting mail that is not a bill.

These to "Hello" cards are quick and easy to make and will brighten any friends day! So get out those supplies or even scraps and send a smile via snail mail today!

Stepping out of my box

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my new blog Cozicreations! This week I made some risky and yet amazing changes in my life. Coming home from the Close to my Heart convention really inspired me to make some changes. I have resigned from my teaching postion to care for my 3 children and work my home business full time. I have been a CTMH consultant for about 9 months now and have truly loved getting to share my passion for preserving memories with fellow scrapbookers. I was challenged by my upline to do something out of the box to help build my business, and creating this blog is definately out of my box. I hope to post at least once week so check back for my updates and CTMH News.
