Friday Links to Love

If you've been a reader of this blog for a while...then you know that I used to do a post called 'Friday Links to Love'. Well I thought I'd bring it back! There are SO many fun things to find on the web, and this is a great way to gather a few of my favorites every week. So here we go...

Found another use for the Silhouette machine in this laundry room update post on iHeartOrganizing. Still on the fence about getting one, but I'm definitely starting to lean towards yes!

YUM. This looks fun and festive for Valentine's Day! Found thanks to my addiction to Pinterest.

Ordered this darling print. Wish I had seen it earlier! Perfect V-Day gift for the hubby (well, for me really). I think it will look perfect tucked into a bookcase shelf, a little unexpected love.

Beautiful calligraphy, LOVE it, really wish I had that talent. I don't. Learn to fake it here.

And a big thanks so Pocket Change for including our blog on their Best of the Web series.

Happy Friday everyone!

iPad Cases....They're HERE!

Yiippee! These have been a long time coming...but the wait is finally over. iPad cases are here!

In true Pretty Smitten fashion, you get to pick your pattern, colors and monogram style. Why not get one to match your Pretty Smitten iPhone case?

We've also made one in our popular signature silhouette design, you pick the color.

And our rainbow chevron design...

Now for the details....the cases are made from 88% Post-Consumer Recycled Materials and feel similar to a hardback book. The inside iPad holder is made from leather. We like them because they protect the screen and flip open to read like a book. And lets face it, we like them just because they are colorful and fun!

Here's a shot from the inside...

Find them in our shop. And for a limited time we're offering FREE SHIPPING on all iPad case orders! Just enter IPADFREESHIP at checkout.

Hope you like them!

Floral Drinking Straws

How beautiful are these drinking straws? Leave it up to Martha Stewart to take baking cups and turn them into amazing embellishments for straws. So fun for Spring parties! Find the instructions here.

And I'm pretty sure they'd look even better on our charming striped straws!

Happy Crafting!

Announcing Pretty Smitten Party Printables!

Have you been wondering where Pretty Smitten's Party line has gone? If so...it's baaacck!! It's back, but it's changed. So here's the deal...I've realized in the last few months that with two babies, another one on the way, a business that's getting bigger and bigger and a household to run...I have to streamline! Streamline, streamline! That's been my motto so far for 2012. I've done some organizing, changed up a few production techniques...and made my party line PRINTABLE!

I've had so many requests for my line to have a printable option, I'm not really sure why it's taken me this long to listen! Not only am I able to streamline my business, but it allows my clients to throw a Pretty Smitten party on a more wallet friendly budget.

To start off I have two printable party packs available...

My red wagon theme in bluebell and red has always been a huge hit in the shop, so this one I knew had to become a printable option. Find it here.

And then I wanted to create something completely new. Fun, colorful, girlie and modern...I created a Rainbows and Butterflies party featuring a colorful chevron pattern. Find it here.

Each printable party pack contains 13 PDF files plus a Pretty Smitten Tips & Tricks document to help you craft your party items. Both parties can be used for either birthday parties or baby showers! The base party package is not personalized, however we do offer personalization of certain items for a fee.

And to celebrate this new line I also created a mini Valentine's Day party pack...available now until Valentine's Day for only $5! Perfect for all of your Valentine's Day festivities....use the printables for a party at home or at school, classroom treats and teacher gifts.

So what do you think? I hope you like my new party line!

PS Color Crush: Red & Pink

Yes, Valentine's day is around the corner so it's understandable why this color combo is on my mind...but I think it's pretty fabulous for any time of year. Don't you agree?

New iPhone Cases

While Pretty Smitten Baby made it's big debut last week, these darling new iPhone cases also made their way into the shop. I decided they needed a posting to themselves!

Fun and vibrant, I'm loving this new chevron design. You get to pick the colors.

Can't pick just two colors? We have a solution for that! Find this rainbow one here.

Another design popped into the shop as well. In Pretty Smitten fashion you get to pick your pattern, colors and monogram style. Find this one here.

Hope you like them! Happy Wednesday!

Introducing Pretty Smitten Baby!

Pretty Smitten Baby is here! We've been hard at work and are so excited to announce this new arrival. We have photo announcements, coordinating stationery, return labels and stickers...the entire line can be seen here. In true Pretty Smitten fashion, the designs can all be personalized with your choice of pattern and/or color. And of course we wouldn't leave out our signature sparkle! Announcements and stationery are hand embellished with a mini Swarovski crystal. It's chic, it's fun and trust us...adds that little something extra.

Below are some of my personal favorites...

The sweet Emma collection. It's shown here with the floral pattern in blossom and strawberry.
