So, what exactly is HappyCOVERGIRLCo and where did it come from?
Well, it's simple. HappyCOVERGIRLCo is ME! Lol. Ok let me explain. It all started with a laminator. I'm dead serious. I bought a cheap 7 mil laminator and that's what got all of this madness started lol. It started off with me just making Happy Planner covers for myself. I'm an avid user of Happy Planner, have been since 2022. I enjoyed making these covers so much that I made way too many. Being able to choose my own art and make the cover any size I want for any size Happy Planner was just fun for me. So after I had an impressive collection that I knew I wasn't going to use them of, I needed to figure out what to do with the extras I'd made sense I don't know anyone close buy who uses Happy Planner. I'd always wanted to open an Etsy shop and honestly, I thought that when I finally did, it would be me selling my knitting. I never imagined my shop would be a planner accessories shop.
After I created my Etsy shop, which was amazingly easy by the way, I had about twenty covers I could list immediately. Yall I had no clue that my covers would sale. The first one I sold was Whimsical Kittens #4 in Skinny Classic size on May of 2024, my birth month, yaaaaas. I didn't even have one of those made yet. It ended up being a custom order instead. I was so nervous. You see, I didn't think I'd sell ANYTHING. There were already so many others on Etsy selling planner covers so who's going to want my lil stinky covers? Lol! I'm so glad I was wrong.
Today, Sept 4, 2025, I am currently at 687 covers and planner inserts and digital art and stickers sold from Etsy in just a year and a half. Every cover and inserts and stickers were made by hand, by me.
What's the Deal with Creative Fabrica?
As you may already know, a lot of the designs and art I use on my covers are AI generated. A lot of it never got used for a cover so they're just collecting dust on my hard drive. I found Creative Fabrica one night, I don't even remember how, but it's a place I wish I'd known about years ago. It's the perfect place and excuse for me to continue making AI art and my own art and be able to make money from it. I've always been a crafty person... My high school Art teacher kept a lot of my artwork when I graduated because he said he wanted to be able to show it to his other students. I never in a million years thought I'd be able to make money from being crafty.
I began my Creative Fabrica store in March of 2025. I'll tell you this, it was not as easy to start the Creative Fabrica shop like it was the Etsy one even though I have and still have thousands of images and stickers I'd made over the last year to post there. Despite this, once I finally got approved, I've been in a posting frenzy since. I can't quite tell who's downloading what, but I can say that I've gotten over two hundred likes and forty follows in just 6 months! The money is small for right now but the name of the game with CF is the more high-quality things you have listed, the better you'll do. I'm only 6 months in so I've got a lot of posting to do lolol.

So Why this Site and What's Next for Planner Accessories?
The purpose of this page is just so I can interact more with all of you and give you a convenient place to check out what I offer. The site is still preliminary mostly for now although everything on there is available for purchase on Etsy or CF.
Coming next are the holidays. Yall know what that means? HALLOWEEN ART GALORE!! As I'm sure you can already kinda tell, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Be on the lookout for the Halloween Lollipop Girls Clipart that's coming soon. I'm also working on some autumn themed wallpapers and stickers.
Check me out anytime here or on Etsy and Creative Fabrica for your planner accessories! Thanks for reading!!
