Perfectly Sweet Chevron "Night Owl" Pajama Party

I am so happy to share another fabulous party from the creative and talented Jennifer Melda today! I have been lucky enough to work with Jenn for a couple of years now to design for some of her most memorable occasions, and this year's party for her daughter Allie was another adorable event!

Jenn contacted me to design the invitation, tags and labels needed for her daughter Allie's "Night Owl" theme pajama party. Jenn knew she wanted the colors to be soft and sweet pastels - pinks, aquas and purples. Her plan was to give felt owl hair clips to each girl, so she needed a coordinating tag to work for her unique favor. The girls also received the cutest stuffed owl pillows that Jenn made (I am in awe of the cuteness -really!), along with the sweetest pastel colored owl cookies. I also created some personalized tags for water bottle wraps that she made for all of the party guests.

Here are some of the pictures from her adorable party! Jenn is a pro at keeping it super adorable, unique and so sweet in all that she puts together for her girls' parties. I love how she always has just the perfect amount of decorations, treats, personalized favors and fun activities for everyone. I know Allie and all the girls just LOVED this party!

Here's the invitation I designed for her:

The cutest owl pillow favor that Jennifer made herself! I love these so much and I know the girls did, too!

Just some of her party decor and set up.

How cute is this tree branch display that Jenn hung all of the favors on? These are the favor tags I created for her, and the favors are felt owls with velcro that the girls could use as hair clips.

Some more precious owl favors that Jennifer gave out. I adore these sweet little owl cookies and these colors!

These are the personalized tags I made for her. She wrapped ribbon around the water bottles and glued the name tag on each. So adorable and simple to put together!

Below is one of the party games the girls played. Jennifer told me that this was one of the highlights of the party and that everyone had the best time. The game was a race to see who could finish their donut hanging in front of them first - with no hands.

Jenn's cake she made for Allie. I love the pink layers!

The girls also enjoyed freshly popped popcorn from the popcorn machine! Perfect for a PJ party!

Another perfect pajama party activity - Wii dancing!

The birthday girl!

Thanks so much to Jennifer Melda for sharing her party photos and for sharing tons of inspiration for an adorable night owl pajama party for girls!

Christmas Cards, Christmas Cards, Everywhere! + Spread Some Christmas Cheer with CAREoling (FREE DOWNLOAD)!

I cannot believe that this holiday season is literally flying by! I have been busy, busy with orders, deadlines and lots of family fun mixed into the craziness. I wanted to take a second and just share a little bit about my holiday card designs this year. If you haven't ordered yet, there's still plenty of time - especially with our super quick turnaround and shipping. I thought I would put this little blog post together to spotlight some of the other fabulous sites where you can find some of my holiday card designs. You have so many choices when shopping for holiday cards and designs by Inkberry! First, which most of you likely know about, I have a large collection of holiday cards in my own shop, www.inkberrycards.com, and a smaller collection that I just recently added into my re-opened Etsy shop. My biggest collection of holiday photo cards exists on Snapfish.com with over 200 Christmas and holiday card designs to choose from. Most of these designs also come in different color schemes and multiple photo layouts. I have been so happy to be a design partner with Snapfish since 2010! They offer so many great promotions and coupons, so be sure to check regularly for a great deal! Below are a few my top selling designs on Snapfish this season so far. You can see my whole collection on Snapfish right here.

Earlier this year, I was so excited to be asked to design a collection of holiday cards exclusively for My Publisher! They are well known for their gorgeous photo books, so when I had the chance to design for their expanding holiday cards and stationery line, I was thrilled. Below are a few samples of some of my designs for them, but you can see my full collection for My Publisher here.

I am also so happy to again have some cards available this year on Shutterfly through A Fresh Bunch. You can check out my Shutterfly designs below on their site right here and here.

I am also so thrilled to be a design partner for PaperStyle! I have been designing for PaperStyle over the past year and they are so wonderful to work with. I really love how all of my PaperStyle designs have coordinating return address labels and other fun matching items available! Below are a few of my holiday card designs for PaperStyle, but you can see all of my designs for them right here.

I'm slowly getting back onto Etsy again after almost a year away and I'm having lots of fun offering some cute holiday printable items. If you haven't seen them already, you must check out my printable holiday return address labels and my personalized Santa gift stickers for kids. These stickers and labels are available in DIY printable, or printed/shipped right to you. They are available in both the Etsy shop and on inkberrycards.com. Here's a peek of all of the different designs to choose from!

I've also had some absolutely awesome and creative custom design requests for the holidays this year, too. I will have to share some of my favorite custom design photos with you very soon! They are always fun to see since they are usually very different styles of cards than what you see offered in my shop, such as large ornate cut folded cards, or bi-fold cards with custom designs and family yearly updates inside! Lots of fun to work on with such great clients of mine.

Last but definitely not least - I hope everyone has had a chance to jump over to my InkberryCreative.com site to download your Christmas CAREoling cards! This wonderful, new tradition was started by my friend Jennifer and her best friend Traci last year! It's an awesome way to spread some Christmas cheer by doing sweet, unexpected things for friends, family and STRANGERS on the days leading up to Christmas. When you leave your surprise, you also leave a CAREoling card, in the hopes that the person will continue spreading their own Christmas cheer and leave a CAREoling card and surprise for someone else. It's really easy and fun and you can get a TON of ideas on Jennifer's CAREoling blog! Below are all the links you need to start CAREoling right away!!

Read more about the story behind CAREoling and how to get started here.

Download your FREE CAREoling printables - available in three different design styles, right here.

"Like" the CAREoling Facebook page and share how you have been CAREoling around town this year!

I can't wait to read about everyone's CAREoling experiences! Thank you so much to Jennifer Melda for coming up with this and letting me be a part of it by designing and offering these CAREoling cards. :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Jenn
