Did you have a pager code??
It was brought to my attention that this may not have been a thing for everyone 😱
So who remembers PAGER CODES?
What was your pager code(s)?

For instance, Jessica had a code that meant “no need to call back, come pick me up… now!” Or, “just wanted to say hi & I love you”

Was this only in my little town just outside of Chicago? Did you have pager codes with your friends? If so, drop em down below! 👇🏼

So click the link & print straight from my Dropbox. All files are labeled by the colors & school name inspo’d.
Feel free to sprinkle this around!

A couple teacher appreciation gifts that are in the works for this week… 😉
You know your girl had to bring a little “extra” especially with how my boy works them 😵‍💫

Ya know, for those “extra” Italians Moms that demand a festive shirt on St. Paddy’s day.
🇮🇹 🍀

How do you get your 13 year old son to show a little St. Paddy’s participation this week you ask? Turn it into a sports theme of course! Bonus points if I’m able to get him to take a pic with me while we’re slightly matching. 🍀
I’ll update you on if this shirt brought me some luck or not… 🤞🏼

I’ve had some really adorable projects lately that I haven’t even shared with you all 😫

🎉 Happy 1️⃣ Year to CGCC! 🎉
Today marks 1 full calendar year that Crafty Girl Custom Creations launched & what a year it has been!
I can’t find the words to express how much I appreciate every single 1 of you!
This little business of mine started with 1 follower & has organically grown - no ads- just some pretty awesome people.
In 12 short months I now have a community of 178!!
I couldn’t thank you all enough for the shares, likes, comments & of course the projects completed. You’ve trusted me with your projects & in doing so I’ve learned so much about this perfect little community of ours.
From pregnancy announcements to custom team apparel to memorial events for loved ones lost to milestone birthdays, special custom 1 of a kind gifts & literally everything in between!
I never dreamed that having a little custom apparel business would translate to meeting & befriending so many incredible people, but here I am loving every one of you & sharing in your accomplishments.
So, again, THANK YOU! Thank you for trusting me over the last year & thank you for continuing to allow me to share my love for creativity with you.
There are some pretty great deals headed your way over the next 2 months in honor of a great 1st year so make sure you’re following CGCC so you don’t miss out!

I love you all deeply.

- Jaime Laudicina

Wishing the best of luck to the Winston Campus Junior High School Cross Country Warriors Team as they head to state!



👕 Custom Shirts done by yours truly

💜 It’s About Time For Another Mustangs Design Drop 💜
Here are just a few of my recent creations for a local youth football program.
I don’t often have time to make myself super cool gear like this - so when I made this “Mustang Mama” hoodie late Friday night, I was TOO excited to show it off!

In these examples we have some glitter htv, matte htv & foil/chrome htv.
You can order one you see here or ask me to design you one all your own!

🚙🎀 GENDER REVEAL! 🎀🚙
Burnouts 🚙 OR Bows 🎀
I was asked to create these adorable custom gender reveal shirts for some pretty special parents-to-be this weekend.
This was probably the most detailed weeding I had ever done. 😵‍💫
Mom & Dad loved them!
Ok now for the fun part….
Drop a 🎀 or 🚙 and for everyone who guessed the gender correctly, you will be entered to win a $15 shop credit towards your next order!
➡️➡️ Share this & get an extra entry! ⬅️⬅️
Was it a 🚙 or 🎀?

I just have to share this special project that I was recently asked to take on.
These 2 besties moved hundreds of miles away from each other & wanted something special to celebrate their friendship while they enjoyed a short visit.
The project started off with just the bestie shirts which came out crazy cute - but after an unfortunate fail by another person, I was asked to create a last minute “anything” of a customer supplied bestie image & quote…. This canvas picture was what I came up with overnight & in time for Elizabeth’s flight.
I leaned a little out of my comfort zone for that one & am glad I did.
These 2 cuties are all smiles & my heart is full to have played a very small part in making their trip so special.

So apparently I can make canvas photos now y’all 🤪

👶🏽 Pregnancy announcements are for EVERYONE!

This adorable custom onsie was created using 2 types of htv: Printable HTV & Standard HTV.

Printable HTV is used on projects that need a more “life-like” appearance. Generally they have far too many colors to layer & may have gradients which can’t be achieved with your standard HTV.
I LOVE the combination of the 2 methods on 1 piece. ✨

Let’s bring YOUR vision to life!

No Sports Mama will ever go to a Championship game without custom gear if I have anything to say about it.
This is where small businesses like mine shine! Last minute, small quantity, custom orders are my jam!

PANTHERS DESIGN DROP!!!

These are just a FEW of the cool custom designs done for some super stylish football mamas 🏈 🖤
Zoom in on that black glitter “P” - She’s a Pretty one! 🤩

On another note, I’ve been so honored & grateful to have gotten such an overwhelming amount of support from my beautiful Mama community. I just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for continuing to share my name & my custom work. Thank you for your compliments & trust.

I put my heart into every project & to get the responses that I get from you when you see your finished pieces are EVERYTHING to me.

I’m now taking orders for the October homecomings so send me a dm. We can use a design already created or create one all your own! Let’s make something pretty together!

Spirit wear design drop!!
Just a few of the super cool pieces I’ve worked on for the Rolling Meadows Mustangs youth football team.
