freebie friday!

hey y'all! 

i don't have a series on my blog besides cheap chic 

(but that's not weekly so it doesn't count)

i've been brainstorming on a series idea that i though everyone would like! 

currently my most read story is free iphone backgrounds. i still constantly get e-mails asking from people asking me to make one for them, but i just haven't had the time to make individualized monogrammed backgrounds (which i'm super sorry about) 

that being said i've decided to take the freebie route! 

every friday i'm going to have one or two background freebies for you! 

ahh get excited 

sometimes i might switch it up and make computer backgrounds or printables, but it'll be a surprise every week.

today is the first friday of this series and I couldn't be more excited! 

my mom and i have a website together called popcosmo and i made these backgrounds for that website too! 

i'm only going to share two of my backgrounds on here, but if you want to see what else i made definitely go check the others out! 

also, i made this Jack Spade inspired noel little picture

i just think it's so clever, even though i didn't come up with it ;)

i think it would look adorable in a little frame!

if you make any of these backgrounds your background, then tweet/instagram it and tag me and popcosmo (@preppydiaries and popcosmo)

if you have any ideas for next week's backgrounds, then leave a comment below! 

let me know what text, background pattern/color, or anything else

if i really like your idea i just might make it! 

thanks for reading!

free iPhone backgrounds!

hey y'all! i don't know about you, but i change my iPhone background more than any person i know. the only problem is that i can never find any cute ones that aren't ugly. so i decided to make my own, and i wanted to share my love of making them with all of you!! if you want me to make you one, then just tell me if you want a monogram or a quote. then depending on the one leave the quote or your initials. make sure you let me know which is your last name, though! also, leave your email.  and lastly tell me which lilly print you would like!!  

here are some examples of what i can do --

so if you want me to make you a background, then this is what your comment should look like (depending on whether you choose quote or monogram)

I'm sorry, but I am no longer making these.
I'm thinking about opening an etsy shop to sell these backgrounds, please let me know if you would be interested.

my phone is preppier than your phone

if you are reading my blog, you most likely love monograms as much as i do, and if you don't like monograms then you should;) 

lately i have been obsessed with etsy. it is a website where people can sell their homemade items, and usually they sell them for really great prices! recently i stumbled upon GSMonograms (i found this store through PrepInYourStep), and oh my gosh, this is possibly the best four dollars i have ever spent! they sell monogramed decals, and they have little half-inch monograms that fit perfectly on the "home" button of iPhones! even if you don't have an iPhone, it still looks really cute anywhere on your phone and they also sell other sizes of monograms (car decal, i think yes)! not only are the products really great quality, but they are also really cheap. i mean four dollars for six monogramed stickers?? it doesn't get much better than that! 

 anyways, here is what my preppy phone looks like now..

follow me on instagram for more pictures like this
my username is seebychloe1

the stickers come on sticker, and are printed backwards so you just flip it over, and stick it to the place you want it to be applied. after you stick it to the place, you just rub a little. its basically like applying a fake tattoo without the water! 

the finished look!
how cute is it??

thanks for reading!! if you have anything cool monogramed that i should know about, let me know!!
